The New Paradigm Shift in Health Economics,

Insurance, Finance and Business 

 

###

In 1972, Nobel Laureate Kenneth J. Arrow, PhD shocked Academe' by identifying health economics as a separate and distinct field. Yet, the seemingly disparate insurance, asset allocation, econometric, statistical and portfolio management principles that he studied have been transparent to most financial professionals and wealth management advisors for years. Nevertheless, to informed cognoscenti, they served as predecessors to the modern healthcare advisory era. In 2004, Arrow was selected as one of eight recipients of the National Medal of Science for his innovative views.

Ultimately, savvy financial professionals are realizing that the healthcare industrial complex is in flux. Physicians are frantically searching for new ways to improve office revenues and grow personal assets, because of the economic dislocation that is managed care. Moreover, the largest transfer of wealth in US history is taking place as mature doctors sell their practices or inherit parents' estates. Increasingly, the artificial consulting boundary between traditional financial planning and contemporaneous medical practice management ... is blurring.

This disruptive paradigm shift was formally noted by iMBA, and introduced to the medical and financial services industry with hundreds of Library of Medicine, National Institute of Health (NIH) and other publications, a dozen textbooks and an award winning seminal white paper.

And, in 2005, the R&D efforts of our physicians, accountants and health economists identified the need for integrated personal financial planning and medical practice management as an effective first step in the wealth building life-cycle for physicians and all healthcare professionals.

Now - more than ever - desperate physicians are turning to industry knowledgeable financial advisors and medical management consultants for help. Symbiotically too, advisors are finding that the mutual need for extreme synergy was obvious.

But, there was no established curriculum or educational program; no corpus of knowledge or codifying terms-of-art; no academic gravitas or fiduciary accountability; and certainly no identifying professional designation that demonstrated integrated subject matter expertise for the increasingly unique healthcare financial advisory niche

 

... Until Now ...
