Charlie McClurg is VP of Strategy at Remote Care Partners. He is drawn to the aim of better care delivery, lower costs, and streamlined processes, not only because this has been the focus of his entire healthcare career, but because he feels most companies miss the mark here. Too often players in this space are looking for a larger slice of a growing pie, when in reality, the aim is to shrink the pie. This concept is usually overlooked, misunderstood, or even dismissed. He also believes, certainly in healthcare, the mantra of “meeting the customer where they’re at” sells the opportunities short; we have the ability to show customers a better way. “Where customers are at” is entrenched in decades old, misaligned incentives and outmoded systems design. This isn’t dispiriting, it’s inspiring; we can help. Our goal is to help reframe the opportunities and fundamentally change how healthcare leadership thinks about running their businesses. Charlie was born, raised, and currently resides in Austin, TX.
