Kolmandas episoodis on Priit Kruusi vestluskaaslaseks WHO tervishoiuekspert Triin Habicht. Räägime tervishoiu rahastamisest ning Haigekassa rollist Eesti tervishoiusüsteemi edendamisel. Vaatame tagasi esimestele sammudele tervishoiu digitaliseerimisel ning küsime, milline peaks olema rahastaja funktsioon tervishoiu tulevikusuundade arendamisel. Kas tükipõhine rahastamine on oma aja ära elanud ning peaksime vaatama väärtuspõhise rahastamise suunas? Kuidas panna tervishoiuteenuse osutajad rohkem vastutama inimese tervise eest ning kuidas arendada teenuse kvaliteeti?

Taskuhäälingu viieteistkümnendas episoodis keskendume ennetusele ning selle rakendamisele innovatsiooni ja tehnoloogia abil. Külas on e-tervise magistriprogrammi juht, Kadi Lubi ning Praxise tervise programmi juht, Mariliis Öeren. Küsime kui suur peaks olema inimese enda vastutus oma tervise eest hoolitsemisel ning milline peaks sealjuures olema riigi roll. Kas ennetuse mõju võib olla ka kahjulik ning miks on oluline allikakriitilisus? Ühtlasi arutleme, kuidas hinnata digilahenduste mõju ning milline võiks selles protsessis olla teadusasutuste roll.
