Interview with Bumrungrad's Group CEO, Curt Schroeder

I’m in Washington, DC this week for the International Medical Tourism Conference. Earlier today I interviewed Curt Schroeder, Group CEO of Bumrungrad International of Bangkok, Thailand. We spoke about numerous topics including the magnitude and drivers of cost differences between Thailand and the US, the role of information technology at Bumrungrad and Microsoft’s recent purchase of Global Care Solutions, which has partnered with Bumrungrad on software development. We also discussed the number and nature of foreign patients, outcomes measurements, accreditation and the future of medical tourism.
