Professor David Meltzer Discusses the Value of the Doctor-Patient Relationship

Harris Public Policy Professor David Meltzer was featured in The New York Times Magazine discussing the quantifying the value of the doctor-patient relationship in an era of increased digitization of the health care sphere.

“One of the tragedies of American medicine is that the money doesn’t really align with value,” Meltzer said. Of the value of primary care, he added, “Being able to even just touch in for a little bit, have the conversation and talk about it, there’s an intimacy to it."
