We're excited to be back for another episode of the Life Sciences Today Podcast by Healthcare IT Today. I took over for Danny this episode to sit down with Carter Dredge, Executive Director of the Intermountain Health Institute, to talk about Civica Rx and some of the other unique models that Dredge and his team are working on at Intermountain Health Institute! We kick this episode off by discussing why Intermountain decided to get into the pharma and life sciences business. Then we talk about what makes Civica Rx different from the traditional life sciences companies. Next, we take a look at finances to see what some of the economic dynamics are at play with Civica Rx. Dredge then shares with us some examples of the impact of this work. Then Dredge walks us through what life sciences should understand about Civica's efforts.

We've heard rumors that Intermountain is starting something big in the healthcare innovation space - so we ask Dredge to give us a little teaser of what that is, its purpose, and when we should be expecting it. Then we dig into Dredge's use of the phrase 'healthcare utility' to learn more about what that is and how it will influence the future of healthcare. Finally, we conclude this episode with Dredge sharing more about the publications he's done with Cambridge Judge Business School, Professor Stefan Scholtes.
