Model Optimal Care

US healthcare wastes trillions every year. Much of that waste runs through employer-sponsored health plans, hidden by opaque contracts and by vendors who have no incentive to tell you the truth. Most employers never actually see the waste. Jude Odu has spent much of his 25-year career doing research and building technology solutions to expose the waste and has now introduced the definitive framework to eliminate it. Model Optimal Care delivers a data-driven, field-tested blueprint built upon five core principles: Transparency, Accountability, Integration, Engagement, and Technology Enablement.

Industry leaders with decades in the self-insured space describe this book as a resource the community has needed for decades and credit it with delivering current methods and innovations that sharpen how plan sponsors should operate. Physicians, hospital executives, and healthcare technology veterans have called it the clearest guide available for turning health plan data into fiduciary action.

From employee empowerment to building AI-powered health plans, every chapter gives plan sponsors and other self-funded stakeholders concrete strategies they can act on immediately.

Healthcare waste is a design flaw. You're already paying for it. This book shows you how to stop.
