Bob and Dutch in this episode ask the age old question "Did you do the most?" What's your Didymos killer? Did you do the most as a healthcare leader to take out the proverbial asteroids that are diminishing healthcare and making the path to affordable medicine cluttered with trash and debris? As a nation, we spend millions of dollars on targeting Earth killer sized asteroids but when it comes to our healthcare we take a much less pragmatic approach. Why does this continue and what moral obligation do healthcare leaders have to do everything in their power to stop it and THINK DIFFERENTLY? Is tech alone the answer, or do we need better leaders in healthcare or both? Ready to join the conversation then visit www.SMASHitHealthcare.com and let us know what's on your mind. Until then get ready to get SMASHed!

One must ask their peers often..."Why are great leaders so few and far between?" Some leaders have an innate relentless pursuit to build something great and lead those around them to do the same. In this episode Bob speaks once again with Dutch Rojas, the CEO of Sano Surgery, a fearless leader in a world where the coveted position is akin to a spring of cool water in a sea of sand. Dutch carries his torch high and his sword higher as he forges on in the fight for a stronger healthcare system for all. So where does it begin? Where do the challenges become foregone conclusions of success achieved? It starts with strong leaders like Dutch that are willing to challenge the naysayers and slay the enemies of growth. You're going to wanna sharpen your sword while listening to this one. Grab your grindstones, listen up, and prepare to do a fearless and moral inventory because its time to measure up and ultimately...stand up or shut up!

Dear SMASHer... buckle your seatbelt! It sounds like a page ripped out of a comic book but this time its real. Every once in a legendary while a star is born and iconic figure emerges from the fire of pain that's been pelted to those in need, you know the ones less fortunate than most. As they lift their heads and stare at the mountaintop a victor raises his voice, clenches his fist, and through the grit of his teeth says, "This terror stops NOW!". The hero in this story doesn't wear a cape, although it may be fitting. Instead this is a man of high moral character, the intestinal fortitude of a true warrior, and confidence of one branded by an eagle, globe, and anchor. His honor, his courage, and his commitment is to eliminate that which stops healthcare from becoming affordable for all. The man is none other than Dutch Rojas! Be ready to be inspired and challenged because this podcast carries more than the weight of Thor's Hammer. Get ready to get SMASHed!!

In episode 14 we journey through the technological realm that most of us experience daily in different shapes and sizes. We "sometimes" efficiently interact socially and operate in our own private lives and circles, with the use of technology, better than one may do at a top tier organization. Team SMASH focuses on medical device suppliers and their distributors as well as hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. We stand up look executives directly in the ear and ask..."What type of team should your med device company be developing in this technological age?". Do you have what it takes to breach next level or are you stagnant in an analog diaphragm of labored breathing and diminishing profit? Be real and get SMASHed... tune in if you're ready! For more visit us at www.SMASHitHealthcare.com.

How do we quantify the cost of the inefficiencies in medical device supplier operations? How can collecting and crunching the data help? In this episode Bob and Jon discuss the different ways that inefficiencies in medical device supplier operations have created barriers to entry, loss of sales, inventory management issues, critical setbacks in logistics, and much more from their 30 plus years of experience in med device. One major takeaway is that medical device executives and hospital administrators are certainly not using all of the benefits technology has to offer.

More importantly Team SMASH hones in on the technological aspect and thorough data analysis. Are medical device manufacturers so set in their ways that when they face change and technological adaptation, do they lose something or is there more to gain?

In this episode Bob and Jon evaluate the specifics on "Why independent distributors are good for Med Device." Both Bob and Jon reflect on their thirty plus years of experience selling for both big and small manufacturers. Both of them have worked in the field with exclusive and non-exclusive distributorships selling medical devices. Why do mostly large manufacturers utilize a direct sales force and small to midsize manufacturers use multi-line distributors? Is it cost? Is it focus? Is it relationship?

In this episode Bob and Jon march through the looking glass of, "Why do some medical device manufacturers perform overall better than others?". In today's turbulent economy, post COVID trauma and shock, what will change for these companies? How does their current set up help them move in a clear and decisive direction that leads to profitability? Will today's top execs in medical device rise to the occasion or will they fall flat stuck in their older ways? Jon and Bob have an over combined 30 years of experience in the field of medical device, and have watched the industry transition and transform. The BIG question is, "Where does onward and upward really land us now?" www.smashithealthcare.com

 What if you were a patient about to have an implant put in you that would last the rest of your life possibly and someone told you that the one you were to receive was not the best solution because the facility wouldn't approve the use of the better newer version due to cost? Would you still have the surgery? Or would you search for better options? Jon and Bob dig deep on how the medical device industry is impacted by hospital facility policies, and why vendor capitation and capitated pricing may not necessarily be the best for everyone. www.SmashIThealthcare.com

Have you said no to general anesthesia before (LOL)? Why do certain items cost so much? Is over-billing the real problem in healthcare or the pathway to discover a solution? Why do they do it and does it serve a purpose? Why do reimbursement algorithms differ? Let's talk about it. www.SmashIThealthcare.com
