This Living to 100 Club podcast introduces our listeners to an innovative home-based medical care program, WellBe Senior Medical. Our guest is Dr. Iyad Houshan. We discuss the benefits of at-home medical care with older adults who are faced with multiple and complex health challenges. Our listeners will learn about the “full risk” model of reimbursement, vs. the traditional fee-for-service model. We understand how this incentivizes WellBe to provide a comprehensive, holistic services program. We also learn how this comprehensive care model reduces the need for frequent acute hospital or skilled nursing re-admissions. It also avoids the problems with home health services that too often become fragmented and ineffective at avoiding re-admissions. This is another highly educational conversation for our listeners as we explore a breakthrough care model for the most-frail seniors in our communities.  Mini Bio Dr. Iyad Houshan is the Chief Medical Officer at WellBe Senior Medical. Prior to joining WellBe, he served as the Senior Medical Officer at Alignment Healthcare from January 2017 to June 2019. In this role, he was responsible for managing the clinical program at an innovative Medicare Advantage provider. This provider offers an integrated clinical model, proactive healthcare, advanced technologies, and alliances with major health care partners. Iyad also structured the home-based program designed for optimal revenue and clinical / hospice outcomes. Dr. Houshan has been recognized for his strong patient and family satisfaction skills, which he has used to set the stage for improvements in hospice metrics and drop in unnecessary resource utilization. Iyad Houshan began his educational career by obtaining a B.S. in Chemistry from UC San Diego. Iyad then went on to obtain an M.D. from Ross University School of Medicine. After completing his medical degree, he pursued a career in general education and obtained a position at San Diego Miramar College. Iyad later went on to complete an Internal Medicine Residency at the University of Nevada, Reno.

John Kao is a seasoned entrepreneur and executive. After beginning his career at FHP International, he then started four other companies in succession: Secure Horizons USA, PacifiCare Health Systems, The TriZetto Group, and CareMore Medical Enterprises, before then being compelled to found Alignment Healthcare. Alignment's origin is a bit more personal to John though, as the business idea arose from his and his mother's experiences as she had a heart attack. After experiencing a lack of consistency around clinical information, particularly post-discharge home healthcare; poor communication post-discharge about cardiac rehab; and medication mismatches pre- vs. post-hospitalization, John felt he couldn't be the only one going through this, so he started Alignment Healthcare. He felt there was a huge need for proactive care at the home and/or virtually for the 20% of seniors who are frail or have polychronic conditions, and that the cost savings arising from providing better care for this population could be reinvested in the other 80%.
