This is the fourth episode in our series, Insights Uncovered: A Real-World Data Podcast Series, exploring the evolving landscape of real-world data and its role in shaping healthcare decisions.

The episode will take a closer look at healthcare access in the United States – a topic that continues to dominate conversations in political, public health, and economic circles. While much of the national dialogue centers on insurance coverage and affordability, the reality is that access to care involves far more than simply having insurance.

Also covered in the episode are the policies, data, and real-world factors that influence healthcare access for the 92% of Americans who are insured.

Guests are:

- Liisa Palmer, Portfolio Leader for Real World Data Research & Analytics at MarketScan

- And Katherine Shanahan, Senior Pharmacy Analytic Advisor for Health Insights, Truven’s healthcare analytics platform for payers and employers
