Independent intelligence on the policies, organizations, and market forces shaping healthcare and social care.
Healthcare organizations increasingly rely on social care to improve outcomes, manage risk, strengthen quality performance, and support long-term sustainability. At the same time, reimbursement models, procurement strategies, quality programs, and investor expectations continue to reshape how social care is funded, measured, and integrated into care delivery.
Pull tracks those changes.
The publication covers the policies, organizations, funding shifts, procurement decisions, and market signals influencing how healthcare buys, funds, measures, and scales social care. The goal is to help leaders understand where opportunities are emerging, where expectations are changing, and how decisions made today may shape the future of care.
Pull is written for payer leaders, health-system operators, investors, founders, consultants, policymakers, and community-based organizations navigating the evolving relationship between healthcare and social care.
Why Pull Exists
My perspective comes from nearly a decade of healthcare social work across emergency departments, hospice, oncology, home health, and complex care settings, combined with formal training in healthcare finance, strategy, and value-based care.
Early in my career, I became interested in a question that extended beyond any single intervention or program: how does healthcare determine what becomes part of its permanent operating model?
Some ideas remain pilots. Others become reimbursed services, procurement priorities, quality initiatives, or essential infrastructure. The difference is often found in the intersection of outcomes, operations, financing, accountability, and market demand.
Pull was created to follow that process in real time and to provide a clearer view of the forces shaping what healthcare funds, adopts, measures, and scales.
