About

James Haven, author of Healthcare Beans
James at West Point NY

Hi there! I’m James Haven and I created the Healthcare Beans blog and podcast.

Here’s what I do. I search for unintended consequences in healthcare strategy and policy. In simple terms, I focus on what can go wrong, how will it go wrong, and when will it go wrong. In more complicated terms, my work involves data analysis, prediction and speculation – combining structural elements of a system with anticipated human behaviors. I view healthcare in the United States through the lens of unintended consequences.

In my day job, I lead healthcare transformation projects – see my LinkedIn for details. And in my spare time I work on bitcoin-related projects.

I created Healthcare Beans as an outlet to explore how policy, technology, finance and culture will shape the patient experience in the near future. Feel free to reach out to me if you’re interested in contributing to Healthcare Beans or collaborating on something else.

Godspeed!
