Overview
We're excited to host a live Q&A with Robert Longyear, VP of Digital Health and Innovation at Wanderly and Avenue Health. We will be discussing many of the drivers of our AMN thesis (supply/demand imbalance and wage inflation), as well as a few key trends in digital health.
Wanderly has created a marketplace for the healthcare staffing industry using blockchain, big data, and machine learning to "bring travel healthcare professionals and agencies together in an ecosystem predicated on enabling meaningful connections for everybody involved." Avenue, a Wanderly company, partners with providers to offer fully-staffed remote-patient monitoring and virtual care programs and also works with payors to provide evidence-based care management solutions. Record amounts of capital continue to flow into the white-hot digital health space via SPACs and traditional means. Nobody wants to get burned, so join us to see what's working (and what's not).
Hedgeye Health Care Sector Head Tom Tobin will lead the discussion, which we expect to cover:
- Staffing industry growth and tailwinds (supply/demand, wages, etc.) - year-to-date and year-over-year growth trends; expectations for 2021 and 2022.
- Managed Services Programs (MSP) and Vendor Management Systems (VMS).
- "Whole Person" care and new primary care models ($ONEM & $OSH).
- The Amazon [Care] threat. Why does everyone still flinch when Amazon makes a move? Will Amazon succeed with its latest push into health care?
- The most interesting new entrants/disruptors in digital health/virtual care (public and private).
- Why companies focused on Medicare Advantage models will win.
We look forward to hearing Robert's views on the above, as well as fielding any questions you may have.
