In the second episode of our special series on recommendations to the Trump administration, Quality Matters host Andy Reynolds welcomes Ryan Howells, Principal at Leavitt Partners, for an illuminating discussion on transforming digital quality and data exchange..Ryan shares fresh ideas from the Leavitt Partners roadmap to reshape digital health infrastructure by embracing scalable, internet-based standards and dismantling policy barriers. At the core of this conversation is that effective data exchange must be powered not only by modern standards, but by trust among people and institutions. Ryan's suggestions include:·   Implementing APIs at scale to reduce manual processes and administrative waste. The same APIs that power everyday apps can streamline data exchange between payers and providers, replacing faxes, phone calls and redundant forms.·   Certifying data exchange—not just software functionality. Instead of dictating how systems are built, federal policy should focus on certifying APIs, allowing EHR vendors the flexibility to innovate while helping ensure that data flows freely.·   Establishing “tables of trust.” Regional collaboration among payers, providers and government agencies can test new digital infrastructure in real-world settings and be the model for national expansion.Digital quality transformation will require more than just tech upgrades—we must rethink relationships, trust and policy levers. Listen to this episode to learn how the Trump administration could support a data-driven revolution in health care quality.Key Quote:“I've been doing this for a long time, almost 30 years. But when I go into my doctor's office and I still have to fill out a clipboard with a piece of paper on it with information I know they already have, it is painful. The best representation of whether we are making progress is, I don't want to ever go into a doctor's office and fill out a clipboard. If I could just not fill out my health history, my demographic information, whether information should be sent to my doctor—if all that is just in the doctor's system—I would say we have made progress. Because at that point it will be real to the individual. Think about it in terms of digitizing all of the health care data and making sure it is with the right person, at the right time, in the right place to make the right decisions. When that happens, we'll know we've made significant progress.” Ryan Howells Time Stamps:(02:27) Why Implementing Health Care APIs is Hard(05:32) Tables of Trust: A Case Study from Utah(07:03) Scaling Trust and Interoperability(13:12) Eliminating Manual Processes (18:23) Solving Diverse Use Cases (19:36) Encouraging Early Adoption of APIsLinks:NCQA Recommendations to the Trump Administration Leavitt Partners Recommendations: “Kill the Clipboard!”Connect with Ryan Howells

One-hundred days into the second Trump administration, Quality Matters host Andy Reynolds welcomes Eric Musser, Vice President of Federal Affairs at NCQA, for an insightful discussion about NCQA's recommendations to the Trump administration for improving health care quality.Eric shares ideas to shape a strong quality future for value-based care, digital health infrastructure and behavioral health.The conversation focuses on value-based care models that prioritize care integration to prevent or alleviate chronic illness. Eric identifies fragmentation's threats to care delivery and data management—problems NCQA's recommendations aim to address.Specific suggestions include:Expanding the commitment the first Trump administration made to getting all Medicare beneficiaries in value-based care arrangements by 2030. This ambitious goal requires big changes in policy and practice, but could lead to better outcomes and more efficient care delivery.Creating innovative care models that leverage technology and dynamic care plans. These models would use advanced technologies like AI to integrate patient data more quickly and effectively. Dynamic care plans would allow for real-time updates based on patient data from various sources, including remote monitoring.Prioritizing patient-generated data and patient-reported outcomes. This approach focuses on incorporating patients' experiences and goals into their care plans. The aim is to improve patient engagement and ensure care matches what matters to patients, particularly those with chronic conditions.Promoting standardized data exchange in Medicare Advantage programs. This recommendation addresses the need for better data sharing between plans, providers and patients. This would mean dismantling data silos and creating more comprehensive, real-time views of patient populations.There is tremendous potential for the Trump administration to improve health care quality. Listen to this episode to find out how.Key Quote:“ We know the Trump administration has a patients first agenda. They put the consumer first in the way they think about quality and payment. There is a desire in the measurement space to have more measures centered around patients' goals. That's a person-reported outcome or a patient-centered outcome, as we call it here at NCQA. You want to make sure that the patient gets that strong clinical care. But the experience to ensure that they want to come back for that clinical care is also extremely important. So person-reported outcomes are about enhancing the experience of patients as they work with their care team. This is important for folks with chronic conditions, behavioral health. Having those goals that are patient-centric–like walking down the stairs, getting to church–are all ways which improve health and then get that buy-in to the care plan that we're seeking to support.”-Eric MusserTime Stamps:(01:22) Opportunities in the First 100 Days of a New Administration(05:30) Deep Dive: Value-Based Care and Care Integration (07:12) Fixing Two Kinds of Fragmentation(10:49) Four Operational How-Tos Links:NCQA's Recommendations to the Trump AdministrationListen to Eric's Episode on Data SharingConnect with Eric 

Continuing the last Quality Matters episode, host Andy Reynolds and NCQA Chief Technology Officer, Ed Yurcisin, break down the complexities of the digital transformation in health care quality and explore the importance of high-quality data exchange, particularly in the context of HEDIS reporting and the FHIR interoperability standard. Ed explains how NCQA's work in digital HEDIS measurement not only improves health care quality reporting, but also lays the groundwork for broader industry advancements. By ensuring consistent, standardized data for digital HEDIS, NCQA is setting the stage for better measurement of public health, smoother prior authorization and general data accessibility.The conversation also explores the technical side of digital quality measurement, focusing on Clinical Quality Language (CQL) and the role of HEDIS “engines” in the health care data ecosystem. Ed clarifies the difference between SQL and CQL, and underscores that NCQA's focus is on measures' content, not on building the end-to-end software systems that run measures.Through collaborations like the Digital Quality Implementers Community, NCQA is working to ensure alignment across CQL platforms so everyone is “doing the same math.” Amol Vyas, NCQA Vice President for Interoperability, joins the conversation to explain how a public-private partnership is bringing choice and confidence to the market for CQL engines.Ed reflects on how his international perspective and personal experiences shape his passion for health care data interoperability. He shares how challenges accessing medical records for his family members underscore the need for a seamless, patient-centered health care system. His real-world perspective highlights why creating standardized, high-quality data isn't just a technical challenge, but a crucial factor in helping to ensure better, safer care for all.As the episode wraps, listeners are encouraged to explore NCQA's resources and upcoming events to stay informed on the future of digital quality. Key Quote:“ HEDIS measures are incorporated into government payment programs—for example, Medicare Star Ratings. There's incentive to enable digital HEDIS because it is tied to your CMS Star Ratings and the money a Medicare advantage plan might receive from the government. That's not the case for other important use cases, whether it be public health or prior authorization. So our infrastructure is tied to financial returns incenting organizations to make higher quality data accessible for digital HEDIS. And that means if it's good enough for digital HEDIS, it's been cleansed and analyzed in a way that could be used for public health, could be used for prior authorization—all of these different use cases.”Ed Yurcisin Time Stamps:(02:10) Clearing a Path for Data Quality(05:30) HEDIS “Engines” vs. HEDIS “Calculators”(07:17) Measures' Content vs. Software that Runs Measures(11:18) Digital Quality Implementers Community(19:35) The Need for Data Quality Cuts Close to Home Links:Bulk FHIR Quality Coalition Digital Quality Implementers CommunityNCQA Digital Hub Connect with Ed YurcisinConnect with Amol Vyas 

In this episode of Quality Matters, host Andy Reynolds is joined by Ed Yurcisin, Chief Technology Officer at NCQA, to break down the complexities of digital transformation in health care quality. Ed explains how NCQA's push for digital measurement cuts through inefficiencies and inconsistencies in assessing quality. Traditionally, HEDIS® quality measures have existed as large, text-heavy PDFs, leaving room for misinterpretation. By digitalizing these measures into computer code—Clinical Quality Language (CQL)—NCQA removes ambiguity and standardizes interpretation. That makes it easier for health care organizations to implement and use quality measures. This shift reduces administrative burden and helps ensure that quality assessments are more accurate and actionable.The conversation then shifts to FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), a standard designed to streamline health care data exchange. Ed explains that while FHIR might sound intimidating, it's built on the basic web technologies that power everyday internet browsing. FHIR brings five essential components to the table—JSON files, Rest APIs, standardized value sets, a common data model and government-mandated data exchange. While the government requires organizations to “pitch” data (make data available), there's no mandate to “catch” data (actually use the data). That means organizations that choose to use the data gain a competitive advantage.The discussion ends by focusing on data quality, an issue that looms large over digital transformation efforts. Ed introduces the Bulk FHIR Quality Coalition, a collaborative initiative aimed at improving the reliability of data exchanged between health care providers and insurers. Using the analogy of water through pipes, Ed explains that current data-sharing efforts help ensure flow, but don't always guarantee that data are “clean” enough to be useful. The coalition enhances existing provider–insurer relationships to test and improve large-scale data exchange methods. Ultimately, Ed underscores that digital transformation in health care is only as strong as the quality of the data being exchanged. Standardization, accessibility and interoperability are the foundations of progress, ensuring that technology-driven solutions improve enhance outcomes. Digital HEDIS, FHIR and the Bulk FHIR Quality Coalition are examples of how NCQA is reducing measurement burden to streamline measurement and improve quality. Key Quote:“ The digital transformation of health care is necessary to deliver higher quality care. But that is dependent on high-quality data and the ability to exchange this data.  It starts with high-quality data–making it accessible, interoperable,  exchangeable. That is the foundation for being able to deliver digital health care transformation.  Nothing in digital transformation in health care makes sense without high-quality data exchange.”-Ed YurcisinTime Stamps:(1:03) The How and Why of Digital Measurement(04:14) Understanding FHIR(08:32) From Data Exchange to Competitive Advantage(10:42) The Bulk FHIR Quality CoalitionLinks:Connect with Edward YurcisinNCQA Digital Hub Bulk FHIR Quality Coalition 

On this episode of Quality Matters, host Andy Reynolds is joined by Brittany Cunningham, Vice President of Episodes of Care and Population Health at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, to discuss how value-based care is reshaping health care through MyHealth Bundles. By packaging treatments into predictable, all-inclusive bundles, employers save money, patients avoid surprise bills and providers can focus on delivering high-quality care instead of navigating insurance complexities.But does bundling mean cutting corners? Brittany sets the record straight: The model eliminates waste, not necessary care. With lower C-section rates, near-zero infection rates for joint replacements and faster recovery times for spinal surgeries, bundle results are strong. Employers love the savings, patients love the simplicity and providers appreciate the shift from restrictive insurance rules to evidence-based care.So why isn't this standard everywhere? Andy and Brittany explore the hurdles, from outdated billing systems to awareness among employers. NCQA's Meghan Malone-Moses joins the conversation to share insights on why value-based care is the future—and how more health care systems to catch up. Tune in for a conversation that could change how you see health care.Key Quote:“ Value-based care, while the employers want to deliver higher value and higher outcomes to their employees and their members, it's hard to understand what that level of risk is. A lot of employers don't understand what it means to take value-based care on. The biggest thing is that education of what value-based care is and that the provider is taking on the risk. They are paying less than what they would pay in fee-for-service and they are getting the same or even higher outcomes for their members.”-Brittany CunninghamTime Stamps:(00:29) Introducing MyHealth Bundles(02:11) Benefits and Challenges of MyHealth Bundles(04:10) Predictability and Utilization in Bundled Care(09:17) Challenges in Implementing Commercial Bundles(10:30) When Bundles = Peace of Mind(13:02) How Employers View Value-Based CareLinks:MyHealth Bundles' ImpactConnect with Brittany Cunningham

In this engaging episode of Quality Matters, host Andy Reynolds is joined by Aaron Neinstein, Chief Medical Officer at Notable, to explore how AI is reshaping health care. It's not all robotic efficiency and cold algorithms. Aaron shares how AI takes over repetitive and data-heavy tasks so doctors can focus on their patients. Imagine spending less time sorting through charts and more time asking, “How does your illness affect your life?” That's the transformative hope of AI.The conversation takes a deep dive into the pressures on the health care workforce—from burnout to unstaffed job positions—and how AI could be the labor multiplier health care has been waiting for. But it's not just about solving staffing shortages or making systems faster. Aaron foresees an optimistic future where AI helps personalize care, tailoring interactions to each patient—including by health literacy and language. It's a future that feels surprisingly human, thanks to tech doing what it does best: Crunching the numbers and leaving empathy to the people.No responsible discussion of AI can omit cautionary tales. Bias in training data, transparency and ethical partnerships all come into focus as Aaron reminds us to move thoughtfully in this brave new world. Whether you're excited about AI, or skeptical, or just curious how it might impact your next doctor visit, this episode offers a balanced and insightful take. Key Quote:“Nothing in health care AI makes sense, except in light of seamless integration with clinical workflow.The mistake I've made, that I've seen others make, is, ‘Hey, we've got this great new tool. Use it on the side of what you're doing today. It's going to be so good, it's going to be worth it for you to move out of your EHR and come use our tool.' And it never works.People have their home that they work in, that they do all their work in every day. And the new tool, the new automation, the AI has to be tightly integrated into workflow, has to be integrated into the core system. Or it's just not going to work.”Aaron Neinstein, MDTime Stamps:(01:01) The Urgency of Digital Transformation(03:18) AI's Impact on Patient Care(05:45) Addressing Fears and Misconceptions(13:00) Transparency and Guiding Principles(14:21) NCQA's AI InitiativesLinks:Connect with Aaron NeinsteinLearn more about Notable 

n this episode of Quality Matters, host Andy Reynolds sits down with Tosan Boyo, President of Sutter Health East Bay Market, to discuss his inspiring journey from Nigerian immigrant to leading a major health care institution. Boyo shares how his early experiences as a patient in a safety-net hospital shaped his commitment to health equity and continue to shape his leadership. He reflects on key moments that drove his passion for providing equitable care and the responsibility health care leaders have in ensuring access for all.Boyo highlights the importance of community engagement in health care workforce development, emphasizing the need for institutions to reflect the communities they serve.He also highlights the crucial role of transparent data reporting in driving improvement and building trust. Boyo discusses the impact of partnerships and how collaboration sets a precedent for addressing inequities.Tosan will participate in a panel discussion at NCQA's Health Innovation Summit, where he will discuss ongoing efforts and challenges in advancing equitable care. His insights offer a roadmap for ensuring that health care systems evolve to meet the needs of diverse communities.Key Quote: “Health equity gives us tools and to validate we are living up to the thesis that motivates us to come to work every morning.  Fundamentally, delivering high quality outcomes is always the number one priority with that thesis being a foundation, how are we ensuring every patient is achieving the high quality outcome? We verify that by Saying let's stratify your outcome metrics by race and ensure that race is not a factor that one population is not getting the same high quality outcome Let's do it by language and ensure that language is not a barrier to access and not a barrier to following the instructions that you get from a physician. Let's verify by zip code, to understand socioeconomic status. How are we ensuring that regardless of zip code, you are getting the best care? These are different ways we can verify we are living up to the priority to deliver high quality outcomes.”-Tosan BoyoTime Stamps:(00:57) Tosan Boyo's Journey into Health Care(02:58) Defining Health Equity and Its Importance(09:59) Building Trust and Community Relationships(15:25) The Future of Health Equity(18:45) The 2024 NCQA Health Innovation SummitLinks:Connect with Tosan BoyoCMS Universal FoundationTosan Boyo at Quality Talks 2022 Institute of Medicine: Crossing the Quality Chasm

In this episode of Quality Matters, host Andy Reynolds is joined by Dr. Tiffany Inglis, National Medical Director for Women's and Children's Health at Carelon Health, to explore the Elevance Health Obstetrics Practice Consultants program. A winner of an NCQA Health Innovation Award, the Elevance Health program breaks new ground by bringing value-based care to obstetrics, a field where value-based strategies remain rare. Dr. Inglis discusses the program's focus on improving maternal health outcomes by addressing racial disparities and providing practitioners with insight and know-how. By emphasizing collaboration and data-driven support, the program improves the care of mothers and babies. The conversation further examines the growth and impact of the program since its inception in 2015. Dr. Inglis highlights measurable indicators of success, including double-digit reductions in low birth weight and preterm births. The discussion addresses implications of integrating value-based care into obstetrics, showcasing how this model not only improves outcomes for mothers and babies but also fosters an effective, sustainable health care system. Key Quote:  “For me, the surprise has been the impact you can have by taking this approach of value-based care, tied to quality, and then aligning it to provider supports. The member gets better care, the provider gets their value-based care contract stuff taken care of, and the plan gets a better outcome for mom and baby. It's the triple win, a good outcome for everyone. And I think the thing that caught me most off guard was just the scale at which we can improve outcomes and see better care.”Dr. Tiffany Inglis Time Stamps:00:43 Elevance Health OB Practice Consultants Program's Impact on Maternity Care01:45 The Role and Growth of OB Practice Consultants05:10 The Relationship to Other Quality Initiatives  08:36 Challenges and Misconceptions in Value-Based Care12:17 Tips for Implementing Value-Based Care Links:Connect with Dr. InglisNCQA Health Innovation AwardsNCQA Birth Equity Accountability through Measurement (BEAM) Program

In this episode of Quality Matters, host Andy Reynolds delves into the transformative impact of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) on health care data interoperability. Joined by Amol Vyas, NCQA Vice President of Interoperability, and Eric Musser, Vice President of Federal Affairs, the discussion uncovers how TEFCA is reshaping the landscape of health information exchange.Amol explains TEFCA's function as a voluntary, national network (analogous to the postal service in its role as a connector) and highlighting implications for the free flow of HEDIS data. Eric provides insight into TEFCA's bipartisan roots in the Cures Act of 2016, emphasizing TEFCA as a model of public-private partnership and standards-based improvement. Key Quote: “I think TEFCA has kind of been the underdog in health policy for a while now. Value-based care, patient safety, whole-person care, all those things are really salient topics that are brought up a lot. I think TEFCA is about to have its moment and I'm excited to see it come to greater fruition. I'm really happy to see all the progress we've made. It's going to take a full government, full industry approach to make this work for people.

In this episode of Quality Matters, host Andy Reynolds discusses the U.S. Playbook to Address Social Determinants of Health with its lead author, Dr. Sandra Elizabeth Ford. Dr. Ford, a pediatrician and public health advocate with extensive experience at both local and federal levels, highlights the necessity of looking beyond clinical care to factors like housing, nutrition, and transportation. She emphasizes the importance of expanding data gathering and sharing, supporting flexible funding, and investing in backbone organizations to improve healthcare outcomes.Dr. Ford also tackles the disconnect between local and national levels, advocating for leveraging local expertise and strengthening local programs before seeking federal support. The episode concludes with practical insights on integrating social needs into healthcare delivery and the importance of addressing these determinants to foster a sustainable healthcare system. Dr. Ford dives into what makes a successful organization in public health, focusing on the critical role of data. From the challenges of data standardization and sharing to the importance of good governance and leadership, this episode offers invaluable insights. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone passionate about creating a comprehensive healthcare system that truly considers the full spectrum of social determinants of health.Key Quote: “We are not going to doctor ourselves out of the healthcare crisis. If we really want to address healthcare crises in this nation, we need to understand how are people living, what they're missing. We need to ask questions around how people live their lives. It's cheaper to give somebody a food prescription than it is to treat an amputee from diabetes. So if we ask the questions on the front end of what people need, we're better able to serve them from a clinical perspective.”-Dr. Sandra Elizabeth FordTime Stamps:(00:51) The Necessity of the Playbook(02:48) Expanding Data Gathering and Sharing(10:32) Challenges and Solutions in Data Management(15:55) Common Misconceptions in HealthcareLinks:Learn more about the PlaybookConnect with Dr. Sandra Elizabeth Ford

On this episode of “Quality Matters” with host Andy Reynolds, we explore the vital role of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) data in healthcare. Our expert guests, Kellan Baker, Executive Director of the Whitman-Walker Institute, and Dr. Carl Streed, a primary care physician at Boston University, share why SOGI data are essential for delivering personalized health care interventions and improving overall health outcomes. Understanding sexual orientation and gender identity alongside other demographic variables like race and ethnicity is crucial for providing comprehensive and inclusive care. Emphasizing the importance of building trust within healthcare settings, our guests discuss how fostering a trustworthy environment encourages the sharing of sensitive SOGI information, which is vital for patient care quality.The conversation addresses the challenges the current political climate poses and its potential negative impacts on LGBTQ health. We highlight the necessity of robust privacy protections to prevent the misuse of SOGI data and the role of the entire healthcare team in safeguarding this information. Additionally, we share insights into new resources from the US Department of Health and Human Services to enhance demographic data quality. Calvin emphasizes recognizing LGBTQ individuals as people with unique stories and the importance of methodological data collection. For further guidance, recommendations include resources from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation at the US Department of Health and Human Services. Key Quote: “These are intimate areas of people's lives that we're dealing with in health care, and HIPAA was enacted to protect that information from exploitation and misuse. so it's incredibly sad to see state actors intentionally misusing the law. To take personal health information from patients, from families, from healthcare institutions, not just that incredible intrusion into the provider patient relationship, but then also to Press charges against healthcare providers, for providing medical care in accordance with their training and expertise. It's an incredible violation of HIPAA and something that should concern all of us, regardless of whether we're transgender or we provide care to transgender people.”-Kellan Baker, Executive Director of the Whitman-Walker InstituteTime Stamps:(00:44) Understanding SOGI Data(03:26) Challenges and Misconceptions about SOGI Data(05:51) Legal Issues and Misuse of SOGI Data(11:01) Finding Trust in Healthcare Systems(13:12) The  Future of SOGI Data CollectionLinks:Connect with Kellan BakerConnect with Dr. Carl StreedLearn more about the Whiteman-Walker Institute Learn more about the GenderCare Center at Boston University School of Medicine

Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life's Best Medicine. Andy Reynolds is a Charge Nurse working in the Emergency department at a hospital in the U.K. He is also a father to his son, Toby, who suffered from epilepsy and seizures as a child. It was their discovery of the ketogenic diet as a treatment for epilepsy that led Andy and his wife, Hayley, to a real sustainable solution. In their discussion, Brian, Andy, and Hayley talk about the difficulty of raising a son with epilepsy, the devastating effects that prescription medications had on Toby's mood and mental health, the benefits that come from treating epilepsy, arthritis, migraines, and type 2 diabetes with the ketogenic diet, and the NSNG (No Sugar, No Grains) principle of eating. Life's Best Medicine according to Andy and Hailey: “The four of us—our family. Us four together. This experience has brought us closer together. If you are struggling, stick together and ask for help.” Thank you for listening. Have a blessed day and stay healthy!   Links:   Andy Reynolds: The Daisy Garland Matthew's Friends Twitter   Dr. Brian Lenzkes:  Website Low Carb MD Podcast   Simply Snackin'

: Episode 1627 - On this Saturday show, Andy Reynolds and his family join Vinnie and they all talk working as a nurse, their son and controlling epilepsy with diet, other health benefits from low carb high fat eating, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/07/controlling-epilepsy-diet-episode-1627 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS ANDY'S LIFE Andy is English. He's from just outside of Manchester. He's a nurse. It's been quite different during COVID-19. Kids have largely seemed okay overall, but adults is a different story. They wear PPE––masks, gowns, and full on kits for those who need respiratory help. CONTROLLING EPILEPSY Their son was diagnosed with epilepsy. It got worse over the years. They realized diet could make a difference. Within a couple of weeks, they decreased from 150 a day to 40; after two months they were down to around 10 a day. The entire family realized it would be better if they all made this dietary change together. Eating high fat foods is certainly quite a better solution that cutting out part of a child's brain. The doctor mentioned to Andy's family the diet change and brain surgery at the same time. Diet should be the place doctors start, and right away. When they changed their diet, they felt that they all came out of a haze. His wife's headaches stopped, too. Andy went from about 94 kilos to 80 kilos now. (200 lbs to 176 lbs) His arthritis has improved incredibly. Andy's wife has lost around 40 lbs without exercising. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

When it comes to healthcare conferences, it's easy to get stuck in an echo chamber. Too often it's the same ideas about the same topics from the same people. That's why I found last year's Quality Talks event so refreshing. NCQA brought together a varied set of speakers and topics that were guaranteed to offer a fresh perspective to anyone who attended - they certainly did for me. Plus, as a 1-day event, it was easy to get in and get out without disrupting my entire week, and the deep, TED-style talks were a welcome break from the typical stream of panel discussions. Since I enjoyed it so much last year, I decided to give you this short episode to preview the 2018 event. My guest is Andy Reynolds, Assistant VP of Marketing and Communications at NCQA and the master of ceremonies at Quality Talks. Andy tells us about Quality Talks 2018, the tracks and speakers and explains what NCQA is trying to accomplish with the event. Quality Talks 2018 takes place on October 22, 2018, in Washington, DC. Learn more about the event and register here: http://www.qualitytalks.org/   About Quality Talks Quality Talks 2018 takes place on October 22, 2018, in Washington, DC. From the Quality Talks Event page: This isn't your ordinary health care discussion. Quality Talks is a series of stirring, succinct talks by current and emerging health care leaders with ideas about how we can collaboratively improve American health care. In addition to the dynamic and thought-provoking speakers, the event features interactive dialogue among all attendees about advancing the health care system and improving patient care. Quality Talks began in 2015 as part of NCQA's 25th Anniversary and grew so successfully that NCQA made it an annual event. In 2016, this sold-out event was held at a larger venue which enabled us to reach an even wider audience. We hope to continue in 2018 with thought-provoking speakers and continuing the Quality Talks health care discussion. The Goal NCQA wants to look ahead through the eyes of tomorrow's leaders, who are inspiring the future of American health care. The Quality Talks are meant to inspire action to tackle the real and pressing problems in our health care system, and to dismantle barriers to a better future. The Format Far from a conventional conference, this event follows a “TED”-style format. That means the talks are shorter, compelling, memorable and novel in nature. Expect to leave this event hearing something you haven't heard before.

Andy Reynolds with The Gottman Institute shares how to have better conversations with your partner, and just about anyone else.

When a conservative father and his young gay son (stage legend Len Cariou and ”Ugly Betty’s” Michael Urie) reconnect in the most unlikely of places - an airport terminal - they find that love can transcend a family's baggage. This witty, heartfelt short by Andy Reynolds is directed by Broadway’s Michael Wilson. After the play, host Claudia Catania joins the playwright, director, and cast for a behind the scenes interview.

Quality... What does that mean in healthcare? How can it be measured? Is it the same for everyone? Who gets to decide? These are just a few of the incredibly difficult questions that the healthcare industry is grappling with as we enter the age of value-based care. The decisions we make about quality in the coming years will have significant and lasting impact on the future of our industry. This is a conversation that's very much worth having. On this episode, we bring you another conference preview. Our intention is to help you find unique learning and networking opportunities that complement the normal programming on The #HCBiz Show! With our Quality Measure series just around the corner, this one is a particularly good match. The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is bringing Quality Talks to Washington D.C. on October 16th, 2017. This 1-day event is designed to address some of the most difficult questions around healthcare quality.  NCQA will bring us 10 speakers across the following tracks: The Future's Not What You Think: In this contrarian track, the speakers will caution us that the headlines may not be the trend lines. Evidence, Ethics and Values: This track takes on the difficult task of defining, measuring and valuing care. Beside and Beyond Big Data: This track dives in to cognitive computing, open data and innovation. Our guest is Andy Reynolds, Assistant VP of Marketing and Communications at NCQA. Andy tells us about the tracks and speakers and explains what NCQA is trying to accomplish with the event. It's an interesting conversation that covers a range of topics including innovation, hype, end-of-life care, vulnerable populations and much more. I hope you enjoy it.
