From Experience to ROI: How Mount Sinai Is Rethinking Diagnostics, AI, and the Inpatient Care Journey

This episode features a highlighted segment from the ROI Centered Care Virtual Summit, produced by Bright Spots Ventures in partnership with TytoCare and the American Telemedicine Association. In this conversation, Eric Glazer sits down with Fernando Carnavali, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Chief of General Internal Medicine at Mount Sinai Health System, to explore how large academic health systems can translate patient experience, diagnostics, and technology innovation into measurable ROI. Rather than focusing on new tools for their own sake, Dr. Carnavali reframes the challenge: how to use existing data, connected devices, and AI-enabled diagnostics to improve the full patient journey, before, during, and after the visit while also supporting a stretched clinical workforce. Drawing on Mount Sinai's real-world operating environment, the conversation explores how experience, communication, and clinical efficiency are increasingly inseparable from financial performance, especially in inpatient and general internal medicine settings. This discussion moves beyond pilot thinking to address what it takes to operationalize innovation at scale inside a complex health system. What you'll learn in this episode: Why patient experience is a longitudinal journey, not a post-visit survey score How Mount Sinai is using technology and diagnostics to strengthen communication, not replace clinicians The role of AI and connected devices in improving both patient and provider experience Why workforce constraints in primary and general internal medicine demand new care models How health systems can focus on what's already within their control to drive ROI Why proving clinical and economic value upfront is essential to scaling innovation About Dr. Fernando Carnavali: Dr. Carnavali is the Chief of the Division of General Internal Medicine for Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West (MSM/MSW) and serves as the Medical Director of the Long COVID Satellite Clinic at Mount Sinai Doctors Ansonia (MSD-Ansonia). In this role, Dr. Carnavali oversees a large, complex division with eight outpatient service locations spanning Manhattan's West Side from Harlem to Chelsea. Clinically, he focuses on the treatment and management of chronic illness, with a particular emphasis on Long COVID care. In early 2020, Dr. Carnavali led MSM/MSW's outpatient response to the COVID-19 pandemic, organizing early testing and triage for community patients and serving for eight weeks on the inpatient COVID units—an experience that provided firsthand insight into the impact of SARS-CoV-2 in New York City. In May 2021, he coordinated the launch of the Long COVID Clinic at MSD Ansonia and continues to personally evaluate new and ongoing patients each week. Committed to sharing Mount Sinai's expertise in Long COVID care, Dr. Carnavali has participated in numerous national and international forums, training providers in this emerging field. He has also built a strong media presence, spotlighting both the Ansonia clinic and the Mount Sinai Long COVID program to raise public awareness. Since 2024, he has served as Co-Principal Investigator on a grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Department of Health and Human Services titled "Evaluation of Long COVID Care Practices." In addition to Long COVID work, Dr. Carnavali leads outpatient practice transformation initiatives across MSM/MSW and the Mount Sinai Health System, guiding quality improvement teams to enhance patient satisfaction, improve access to care, and explore innovative service models.   Podcast Recommendation: Check out Access Amplified, brought to you by TytoCare and hosted by Joanna Braunold - a podcast about how digital health is helping increase access to care and equity, one innovation at a time.

The local airwaves sizzled this morning as the "Morning Mayhem" crew took listeners on a wild ride through color theory and international headlines.In a segment that felt like a "Deep Thoughts" revival, host Amato sparked a hilarious debate over the true identity of a grape. While grapes are technically green or red, the team pondered why "grape-colored" jelly is always purple—specifically "Grimace purple". They even explored the etymology of "orange," noting that the fruit actually named the color.The conversation turned nostalgic when discussing the death of Saturday morning cartoons, replaced by kids staring at tablets waiting for parental locks to click. Meanwhile, Tomlin's news desk delivered global gems, from Somalia's first modern bowling alley to the high cost of Maine potentially changing its state flag.Sports guru Decker rounded out the hour, celebrating the Woodland boys' basketball victory over Ansonia.

Connecticut is a small state that has had a huge national impact. In this episode, we celebrate someone that we are proud to say was born in Connecticut and went on to be a pioneering historian in Black history. Dr. Lorenzo Johnston Greene received his BA in from Howard University in 1924, his MA from Columbia University in 1926 and his Ph.D. in 1942. He was born in Ansonia, Connecticut. We can learn more about his family from the 1900 federal census record. His father Willie was born in 1858 in Virginia before the end of slavery, and his mother was born in West Virginia in 1870. Both came to Connecticut and by the time Lorenzo was born in 1899, he had five older brothers and sisters. The census states that both of his parents can read and write and their children are in school.  By the time of the 1920 census, Lorenz has two older brothers who work in a brass mill.   What made Lorenzo want to go to college and become a historian? When did he work with Dr. Carter Woodson, the "Father of Black History" and what were Greene's own lasting contributions to the study of Black history?   Our guest is Dr. Stacey Close, Associate Vice Provost and Vice President of Equity and Diversity at Eastern Connecticut State University. Dr. Close is a co-author of African American Connecticut Explored, published by Wesleyan University Press, and a noted authority on Hartford and the Great Migration.  You can learn more about that in GTN episode: #181. Hartford and the Great Migration, 1914-1950.   One last thing about Dr. Greene. In the 1930 federal census, he is 31 years old and working for Dr. Woodson as a field representative and research assistant. Greene lists his job as "Historical Investigating Officer" - he had such a strong sense of his mission even as a young man during the depths of the Great Depression. Thank you to Dr. Close. And thank you for listening! We'll be back in two weeks with another episode of Grating the Nutmeg. History matters - be part of it. --------------------------------------- This episode of Grating the Nutmeg was produced by Mary Donohue and engineered by Patrick O'Sullivan at highwattagemedia.com/   Follow GTN on our socials - Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and BlueSky.   Follow executive producer Mary Donohue on Facebook and Instagram at West Hartford Town Historian.

El catálogo de la etiqueta independiente Puchito del año 1956 nos devuelve la sonoridad de la jazz band Hermanos Castro con su cantante Carlos Díaz. "Italian Boy", una de las creaciones del maestro Enrique Bonne nos permitió rememorar la etapa dorada del cha cha chá en los salones bailables de la Isla y acercarnos a la obra de este importante músico. El 14 de enero de 2025, a los 98 años, falleció este veterano compositor, sin lugar a dudas uno de los horcones de la música popular cubana, y en especial de Santiago de Cuba, la ciudad donde desarrolló su carrera artística de mayor peso. "Se tambalea" un ritmo "guara conga" creado por Bonne a finales de los 50s, anticipaba la creatividad de un compositor que en la década siguiente haría innumerables aportes, entre ellos el más sobresaliente la cristalización de uno de los ritmos de mayor pegada entonces: el "pilón" que tuvo en Pacho Alonso a uno de sus más ajustados intérpretes. En la frontera de los años 50 a los 60, y desde sus primeras grabaciones para las etiquetas Momo y RCA Víctor, la presencia de las obras de Bonne en el repertorio de Pacho Alonso fue notable. El añejo formato del conjunto sonero, permeado por el sabor oriental "a lo Bonne", tuvo su punto más alto en la sonoridad del conjunto "Los Bocucos". "Baila José Ramón". Pacho, Ibrahin Ferrer y Carlos Querol le ponían sabor y sentimiento al pilón de Bonne. Con un selecto grupo de grabaciones reverenciamos el importante legado del maestro Enrique Bonne en la evolución de la música popular cubana. Siempre creativo experimentó también con otros ritmos como el "simalé" y el "upa upa". La orquesta "Sensación", reubicada a finales de los años 70 en Nueva York con sus cantantes Eddie González, Vitín López, Meñique y su fundador Rolando Valdés, nos recuerda el ritmo "chupa chupa". El ritmo "guasón", otra de sus creaciones llega nuevamente a la manera de Pacho Alonso: "A cualquiera se le muere un tío". No habrá mejor manera de reconocer la huella de Enrique Bonne en la música popular cubana que acercarnos a su monumental obra. Pío Leyva con la charanga de Obdulio Morales y Fernando Álvarez nos traen la pachanga: "Que me digan feo" y el bolero "Sonarán las campanas". Cerramos este segmento dedicado a su vida y obra con una versión del pregón de Moisés Simons: "El Manisero". El clásico, adaptado a la percusión, acompañando los pianos de Adolfo Guzmán y Rafael Somavilla, nos devuelve la sonoridad de "Ritmo Tambores" la agrupación que dirigió Bonne durante muchos años. En Cubakústica un merecido tributo al maestro Enrique Bonne, grande de Cuba. Había nacido en San Luis, localidad de Santiago de Cuba el 15 de junio de 1926. Con un grupo de grabaciones históricas recordaremos a la jazz band "Riverside" (dirigida a comienzos de la década del 50 por el saxofonista Pedro Vila) y la orquesta del maestro Enrique Jorrín de mediados de los años 70's. Un formidable cantante tuvieron en común estas importantes agrupaciones: Tito Gómez. Cantante completo a lo largo de su carrera artística, con sus condiciones vocales intactas, interpretó magistralmente lo más genuino de los géneros de la música popular cubana. Las numerosas grabaciones que efectuó para etiquetas discográficas como Seeco, Panart, Ansonia y Puchito, entre otras, son testimonio fiel de su valioso paso por la escena musical. Durante poco más de tres décadas Tito Gómez identificó la sonoridad de la "Riverside". Hacia 1975 iniciaba otro ciclo artístico exitoso como vocalista de la orquesta del violinista, arreglista y compositor Enrique Jorrín. Completaban la fórmula vocal los hermanos Bermúdez. En la memoria: Tito Gómez. Cantante de los buenos. Murió en La Habana, la ciudad de sus grandes triunfos, el 16 de octubre del año 2000 a los 80 años de edad.

In this episode, Host Mary Donohue talks to Griffin Dunne, actor, producer and director and now New York Times best-selling author about his family memoir The Friday Afternoon Club. His Hartford to Hollywood family includes generations of writers, movie producers, journalists, and actors including his father Dominick Dunne, uncle John Gregory Dunne, and aunt Joan Didion.   This prominent family dynasty has part of its roots in Irish-American Connecticut, coming from Ireland to Derby and Hartford. Irish Catholics, unwelcome in Protestant Connecticut from the jump in the 1820s, nevertheless made Connecticut  home. In this episode, Dunne shares stories about family figures such as Hartford's Dominick Burns, a self-made man who immigrated from Ireland at age 11 and became a business owner and bank president. And Dr. Edwin Dunne, a Harvard-trained surgeon, who was the grandson of an Irish immigrant and the son of a machinist at the Farrell Foundry and Machine Company in Ansonia. And we don't forget the Hollywood part of the story either with Dunne's vivid memories of his father's life as a movie producer and crime journalist!   Our thanks again to Griffin Dunne for joining us for this episode. His book is available at your favorite bookstore or on Amazon.   The new Hartford Public Library Park Street at the Lyric Branch is located at 603 Park Street. The building that housed the Park Street Trust Company where Dominick Burns served as co-founder and president is located at 617 Park Street, on the southwest corner of Park and Broad Streets.   The grave monument company that is mentioned is Beij, Williams and Zito-still in business.

"Theft increased 1,445 percent from the first quarter in 2022 to the first quarter in 2024." --Kathleen Dasal, retired from the Ansonia commercial credit bureau Dasal presented at this past November's annual conference of the National Association of Small Trucking Companies – and emphasized that huge increase in cargo theft over these last years, aided and abetted by organized crime rings' increasingly sophisticated use of our digital communications tools to perpetuate all manner of frauds on carriers, brokers and increasingly shippers themselves. That's as you'll hear in today's edition of Overdrive Radio, featuring Dasal's talk. She keeps her feet firmly planted in small fleet issues with NASTC, and her presentation featured slides you can download to follow along in full via this link: https://www.overdriveonline.com/business/document/15711911/protecting-your-fleet-from-fraud-download-the-nastc-2024-presentation We'd recommend it, given this episode is probably an appropriate way to continue to kick off 2025 here in a year where we're expecting FMCSA's big move to revamp its registration system to finally get off the ground, and the identity and double-brokering fraud issue continues to be one of the biggest difficulties to surmount in trucking, particularly for small carriers and owner-operators working spot markets. You'll catch hear a variety of tips and tricks, ways to spot fraud in phishing emails and on fradulent rate cons and in the very voice on the phone who might purport to be even someone you know, or at least to be from a company you know. For regular Overdrive readers, a lot of the anti-fraud measures Dasal speaks to might be refreshers, of a fashion, yet many share a central point that you can make part of your New Year's Resolutions for the business this year. In Kathleen Dasal's words, "You've got to just pay attention to who your customer is, and know who you're doing business with." There's a lot owner-operators can do in that regard, if you're not already working closely with central, trusted brokers; leased to a reputable motor carrier; or doing direct business with shipper customers.

Welcome to another thrilling edition of The Meat Grinder, your weekly dose of high school football in Connecticut with GameTimeCT's Sean Patrick Bowley and Pete Paguaga, and the weekly GameTimeCT Pick'ems Podcas: CIAC quarterfinal edition. And what a Thanksgiving week it was as we completed the CIAC state playoff field. There were upsets galore in the final Class S standings; a stunning revival for Fairfield Prep, which toppled West Haven to become the first losing team to qualify; Jett Hall's legendary Valley performances as Naugatuck toppled Ansonia in a battle of unbeatens. But the best game of Thanksgiving belonged to the Apple Valley Classic, where — at long last — Notre Dame recruit Matt Jeffery, injured for the better part of the last seven weeks, made his triumphant return to the gridiron and led Cheshire past rival Southington in a ride-or-die scenario in a game it hadn't won since 2011. SPB takes you through that thriller at Fontana Field and all the rest as we put a bow on the 2023 regular season.  And now we're onto the playoffs. First 45 is your annual Thanksgiving recap with highlights of impactful games from last week. The second 45 is the pick'ems, where Pete and Sean predict all 24 quarterfinal games, not to mention take a few stabs at predicting the state champions. You won't want to miss a minute.

We knew it was coming and here it is. The Alliance brass has interrupted the season with their latest call to remove Thanksgiving Day as Connecticut's crown jewel of sporting events. The idea: Dump a century's worth tradition in favor of a balanaced schedule based on class, 50% more (whyyy??) playoff teams, the ending the season before the wrestling mats get rolled out. A win for 12 schools' winter programs and 24 middling football teams, perhaps. Naturally, our intrepid podcast hosts have their own opinions on this latest move to remove Thanksgiving Day football, and they lay out their pros and cons of this budding tradition of yearly CT high school football playoff ideas. This week's special guest star is none other than JOE STOCHMAL, the only coach Oxford's ever known. His program is 8-0 for the first time and on pace to reach the state playoffs for the first time, even as they head to Jarvis Stadium to face unbeaten NVL rival Ansonia on Thursday night.  Stox gives us the lowdown on his program and, as a member of the CIAC football committee, shows us the roadmap on how playoff proposals become CIAC law. He also gives us his personal opinion on the Alliance proposal.  In the meantime, check out highights from a handful of Week 9's biggest games, including: No. 3 Maloney rallying past Southington; North Haven, sans coach Tony Sagnella, knocking off Matt Jeffery-less No. 2 Cheshire; and, finally, Choate's 17-14 victory over Avon Old Farms in the most anticipated Prep school game of the year, since last year.
