ISPS Health Economist Zack Cooper is a guest on “Creating a New Healthcare,” part of a podcast series created by Zeev Neuwirth for Primary Care Physician leaders looking for fresh perspectives, new solutions, and inspiration. Neuwirth describes Cooper as “one of the rising stars on the healthcare economics scene; and represents the nextgen - trained in the most advanced science, analytics & machine learning that can be applied to healthcare spending, utilization & costs.”

 

The two cover a broad range of topics – from Cooper’s ground-breaking research on commercial health insurance to his most recent research challenging the belief that patients can act as informed consumers to his evidence-based recommendations for redesigning employee health plans.
