Vital Signs: Larry Van Horn, Health Care Transparency, and Executive Orders

This is Vanderbilt Business

Transparency is a major tenant of the Trump Administration’s approach to health care reform. This summer, President Trump issued an executive order on health care price and quality transparency that was informed, in part, by analysis and insights from Larry Van Horn, an Associate Professor of Management (Economics) and Executive Director of Health Affairs at Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management. In this episode of Vital Signs, Professor Van Horn talks about the need for price transparency in health care, his role in the Executive Order, and how its effects will be felt in the market and by consumers.
