In this episode, Claire Souch is joined by Tom Philp, CEO of Maximum Information; James Lay, AVP of Product Management at Verisk; and Stephen Martin, Head of Catastrophe Modelling at Westfield Specialty, for a timely discussion on the future of catastrophe model evaluation, and why it's no longer enough to simply trust what's in the black box. As new specialist model vendors emerge and market expectations evolve, the panel unpacks a growing demand for transparency, interoperability and smarter ways to adopt models that fit real-world portfolios. At the heart of the conversation is a shared belief: the industry doesn't just need more models, it needs better ways to evaluate and use them. In this conversation, they explore: Why traditional model validation no longer meets the needs of modern risk teams The shift from 'black box' outputs to meaningful model evaluation that supports business decisions How tools from Maximum Information and Verisk's Model Exchange reduce the burden on small or lean teams The role of Oasis as a framework for opening up access across multiple model vendors Why standardisation and open data formats are essential for meaningful interoperability The growing role of niche vendors in reshaping perceptions of model transparency How automation is changing the regulatory and investor reporting game Why this is more than a tech upgrade—it's a cultural reset in catastrophe modelling Sign up to the InsTech newsletter for a fresh view on the world every Wednesday morning.

Aly Maier Lokuta knows that art and science aren't opposing disciplines. They're a shared language for strengthening public wellbeing.  Her career has long bridged these worlds, from co-founding Rutgers' Arts and Health Research Lab to leading the largest public mural initiative since the WPA era during her time with NYC Health + Hospitals. Now, as AVP of Arts and Well-Being at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center,  she's proving what many leaders in the field are only beginning to articulate: that cultural institutions can be powerful drivers of community health.  In this episode, Aly shares real-world examples of arts-in-health programs and actionable advice for organizations looking to launch or grow their own initiatives.

Annual reviews of commercial lending take center stage as Mark Ritter hosts Kristina Paulson on Credit Union Conversations. This MBFS Quick Hits episode tackles year-end commercial loan annual reviews and the persistent debate over K-1 documentation. Kristina, AVP of Credit Services at MBFS, shares practical strategies for managing unresponsive borrowers and explains why tax return analysis alone isn't sufficient. The conversation explores improvements to the credit analysis process, portfolio risk assessment techniques, and how commercial loan policy updates can reduce low-value activities. Learn why cash flow calculation requires K-1 forms and discover relationship-building opportunities hidden within the annual review process.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:✅ How to handle uncooperative borrowers during the annual review season, including escalation strategies like formal demand letters and default rate implementation when borrower financial statements aren't provided.✅ Why K-1 forms are essential for accurate cash flow calculation and how they reveal distributions and contributions that standard tax returns cannot show, making them critical for proper credit analysis.✅ How to update your commercial lending compliance policies to focus resources on high-risk loans rather than reviewing every small business loan in your portfolio, improving efficiency while maintaining regulatory standards.✅ How annual reviews create sales opportunities to identify needs like lines of credit or refinancing options while monitoring portfolio health and strengthening business services relationships.Subscribe to Credit Union Conversations for the latest credit union trends and insights on loan volume and business lending!

In contrast, smaller loans, such as vehicle financing, require minimal oversight for efficient portfolio management.RESOURCES MENTIONED: Mark Ritter - WebsiteMark Ritter - LinkedInMBFS WebsiteSEO...

This week we're talking all about the Predator matters. From comics to films and the lore that its steeped in - yes, even AVP - we dig into why this film that began with Jean-Claude Van Damme in a read monster suit jumping over logs became one of the cornerstones of action and science fiction in the 1980s, 90s, and today. Adrian leads us through the history of the franchise, its technical effects wonders, and more. This is a rerelease of a May 2020 episode with an introduction from Jason to celebrate the release of Predator: Badlands.

Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) committees historically operated at the individual hospital level but have evolved into enterprise-wide governance programs due to health system expansion, unprecedented clinical and financial complexity of care, and the emergence of high impact and novel therapeutics. To address this, the Vizient Center for Pharmacy Practice Excellence convened an expert panel that concluded health system enterprise P&T committees are uniquely positioned to balance clinical value with financial stewardship and minimize practice variation. They issued best practice considerations representing a dynamic framework designed to evolve alongside emerging therapies, evolving technologies, and the ongoing transformation of health systems. Joining us today are two members of the expert panel. We have Connor Hanrahan, AVP, enterprise pharmacy services, medication outcomes and stewardship with Intermountain Health and Prabashni Reddy, who at the time of the panel was the executive director of medication use and policy at Mass General Brigham.   Guest speakers:  Prabashni Reddy, RPh, PharmD, MMedSc (former) Executive Director of Medication Use and Policy Mass General Brigham Connor Hanrahan, PharmD, MHA, MS, BCPS, CPHQ AVP, Medication Policy, Outcomes, and Stewardship Intermountain Health, Enterprise Pharmacy Services Host: Kerry Schwarz, PharmD, MPH   Senior Clinical Manager, Evidence-Based Medicine and Outcomes  Center for Pharmacy Practice Excellence (CPPE)   Show Notes:  [01:02-03:38] The value Prabashni and Conor saw in joining the expert panel [03:39-05:33] What Prabashni and Conor learned from interactions during the expert panel  [05:34-10:55] Intriguing actionable enterprise P&T program insights panelists brought to the table that listeners can use [10:56-14:01] Use of criteria and principles to create successful and broadly applicable best practices [14:56-16:00] How our listeners can put this panel's best practices into action   VerifiedRx Listener Feedback Survey: We would love to hear from you - Please click here   Subscribe Today!

What if a single test score isn't telling you what matters most about your readers? We sit down with Dr. Kristen Braatz, AVP of Curriculum and Instruction at Curriculum Associates, to unpack how educators can capture a fuller, more actionable picture of literacy growth.Kristen traces the realities behind stagnant literacy scores and the rising demands of reading in a digital world. We dig into why high-quality curriculum must go beyond comprehension checks to challenge students to analyze, argue, and create. You'll hear how meaningful tasks, like structured discussions, frequent writing, and opportunities to teach ideas back, make thinking visible and reveal true progress. Along with that, we dive into the power of aligning assessment with instruction -- teachers gain time, students get targeted support, and literacy growth shows up both on the page and in real-life tasks.If you're ready to move beyond data for data's sake and toward evidence that drives meaningful reading and writing, this conversation will give you clear steps to start now. Read Kristen's blog: CurriculumAssociates.com/blog/measuring-literacyFollow us on Twitter: @CurriculumAssocFollow us on Instagram: @MyiReadyHave feedback, questions, or want to be a guest?

Disciplined, purpose-driven innovation, anchored in governance, data, and the human experience, beats shiny-object hype.In this mega-episode, Lisa Fry, Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer at SCP Health, discusses “purposeful innovation” that reduces clinician burden and elevates patient experience: ED-volume prediction to align coverage, early pilots of ambient scribing, and patient-preferred models like hospital-at-home. She explains the guardrails, an enterprise architecture review board, commitments to core platforms, and stage-gated pilots with predefined success metrics, to avoid the “tyranny of the urgent” and scale only what works. Nancye Feistritzer, DNP, RN—VP, Center for Care Delivery & Innovation at Emory Healthcare, talks about how bold initiatives, including the Apple hospital work and implementing Epic on Apple devices, succeed only when they explicitly align with an organization's strategy, mission, and values. Nick Yaitsky, Board Member for TAG Digital Health, urges outcome-first AI roadmaps: accept that healthcare data is imperfect, mitigate bias by fine-tuning models to local populations and even individual patients, and build trust in the same way we came to trust GPS, through consistent, measurable results and governance. Olga Ryzhikova, Founding Partner at Kepler Team, tackles adoption by starting integration where clinicians work (SMART on FHIR/SSO), designing modern user experiences, and favoring ambient, low-click workflows so tools remain in use. Ron Strachan, Global Healthcare CIO Advisor, addresses rural access, noting that resilient, low-bandwidth virtual care and platform economies can “meet patients where they are.” His own brain-tumor journey underscores how imaging precision and reliable infrastructure can change outcomes. Finally, Wes Whitaker, AVP of Growth Strategy & Data Analytics, shows population health at scale: unifying EHR, eligibility, claims, and ADT into a modern cloud/Databricks stack, then applying predictive models to anticipate ER visits, target outreach, drive attribution, and prove ROI, while tightening security with role-based access. Together, their message is clear: govern hard, integrate early, pilot fast, measure relentlessly, and scale empathetically. Tune in and learn how to innovate with rigor, scale with empathy, and deliver measurable value!ResourcesConnect with Lisa Fry on LinkedIn here.Follow SCP Health on LinkedIn here and visit their website here.Follow and connect with Nancye Feistritzer on LinkedIn.Learn more about Emory Healthcare on LinkedIn and their website.Connect with and follow Nick Yaitsky on LinkedIn.Discover more about the TAG Digital Health Society on LinkedIn and explore their website.Follow and connect with Olga Ryzhikova on LinkedIn.Learn more about the Kepler Team on their LinkedIn and explore their website.Connect with Ron Strachan on LinkedIn here.Explore Zoom's website and learn more about them on their LinkedIn.Follow and connect with Wes Whitaker on LinkedIn.Discover more about Premise Health on their LinkedIn and visit their website.

Marty talks about a new enterprise study that will use the AVP as a means for collecting EEG waves from people with neurological disorders, allowing them to communicate through the device.    “This Startup Wants to Put Its Brain-Computer Interface in the Apple Vision Pro” – Wiredhttps://www.wired.com/story/this-startup-wants-to-put-its-brain-computer-interface-in-the-apple-vision-pro/Key Points1. Who Cognixion is- A California-based startup focused on non-invasive BCIs (EEG-based), avoiding surgical implants.- Its mission is to enable communication for people with ALS, paralysis, and other conditions that limit speech.- Previously built the dedicated Axon-R headset, tested with ALS patients.2. Vision Pro Integration- Cognixion is preparing a clinical trial with ~10 participants using a Vision Pro modified with their custom EEG headband.- The system detects visual fixation and attention patterns so users can select items on-screen by focusing on them.- A neural-computing pack worn at the hip processes the brain-signal data.3. Role of AI- Cognixion uses per-user generative-AI models trained on the user's prior communication to predict words or phrases.- In Axon-R trials, participants reached near-conversational communication speeds during multi-hour weekly sessions.4. Opportunities & ChallengesAdvantages:- Non-invasive → less risk, potentially faster adoption.- Leverages a mainstream headset (Vision Pro) and its spatial-computing ecosystem.- AI support can help overcome the low signal resolution of non-invasive EEG.Challenges:- EEG remains less precise than implanted BCIs, so decoding speed and reliability must improve.- The hardware still involves extra components (headband, hip pack) and must be ergonomic and socially acceptable.- Regulatory hurdles: moving from small clinical trial to FDA-approved assistive-tech product.We'll revisit this topic in an upcoming Vision ProFiles episode with more expert insights and discussion.Remember to follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST, or catch the recording later on YouTube, or subscribe to the audio version on your favorite podcast platform.Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comWebsite: ThePodTalk.NetYouTube: YouTube.com/@VisionProFiles

Many healthcare organizations know they need an outpatient CDI program, but are tripped up by the most fundamental question: What is the expected return on investment after a considerable upfront investment of time, human capital, training, and technology? Discover the tangible impact of outpatient CDI on revenue, risk capture, provider alignment, and compliance in this special session of Off the Record. Jason Jobes, Senior Vice President, Solutions, Norwood, and Carol Ann Hudson, AVP of Quality and Clinical Operations and Population Health for Lifepoint Health first presented this popular session at the ACDIS 2026 national conference and later for a select virtual audience, and I'm pleased to bring it to my listeners. You'll walk away with a big picture understanding of OP CDI and concrete, operational strategies for transforming your program. If you haven't started yet, consider this your blueprint. Note that “ROI” doesn't only equate to revenue. Return on investment can also come in the form of denials resistant documentation, coding compliance, and improved patient care and value based care alignment through a greater emphasis on patient scheduling. All of which Lifepoint Health experienced.  Note: Jason and Carol Ann refer to slides at points of this session; the audio can stand alone but if you prefer you can also download them on the Norwood website (free with registration): https://www.norwood.com/resource/the-roi-of-outpatient-cdi-slide-deck/  

Send us a textStart with a confession: we didn't tell you to sprint toward Alien Resurrection, and after revisiting it, you'll hear exactly why. We break down the wild swings—Ripley's controversial cloning, a xenomorph queen that “evolves” into something eerily mammalian, and a human‑xeno hybrid that's equal parts tragic and nightmare fuel—then tease out the few moments where the film genuinely stuns. Think the lab escape where the xenos outthink their cage, the submerged chase that weaponizes open water, and a practical creature that feels horrifyingly real on screen.We also track the series' artificial‑person lineage from Ash to Bishop to Winona Ryder's Auton, and what shifting the ship's AI from “Mother” to “Father” hints at about the saga's recurring themes of parenthood, control, and faith. There's Firefly energy in the crew dynamics, flashes of Matrix‑style cool in the interfaces and camera moves, and… big question marks in the science that asks you to accept genetic memory on vibes alone. And that ending over Earth? We talk about its jarring tone, why earlier films counted human costs with more care, and how this entry drifts from the grounded corporate menace of Weyland‑Yutani that made Alien feel so brutally plausible.Detours, of course: Demon Slayer's packed screenings, cosplay plans, and a spirited AVP sidebar on asymmetric combat done right. If you're charting the Alien franchise, this conversation gives you a map—what to salvage, what to skip, and why Prometheus was a necessary reset.

The Realities of Reverification and the Future of Intelligent Automation AI is everywhere in healthcare conversations, but when it comes to reverification, the reality is more complex. Each January, practices are hit with a surge of eligibility and benefits checks, straining staff and creating bottlenecks that risk revenue and patient experience. Traditional fixes like staff augmentation and manual workflows keep the lights on, but they don't solve the underlying scalability problem. In this Office Hours, Jonathan Aguiar, Senior Solutions Engineer, and Lora Pada, AVP of Customer Success, will break down the real-world challenges of reverification, explore how staff augmentation and partial automation fill today's gaps, and discuss how intelligent automation and AI agents are being developed to change what's possible tomorrow.

Marty talks about a positive Wall Street Journal article about the AVP and business use Quick TakeThe Wall Street Journal reports that while the $3,499 Apple Vision Pro hasn't broken through broadly with consumers, it's quietly gaining traction in business—especially where high-fidelity visualization and training matter.Enterprise-first adoption: Unlike iPhone's consumer-led rise, Vision Pro is seeing company-led uptake across specific verticals.Why these niches: Best-in-class visuals, precise hand/eye UI, and adjustable immersion make spatial tasks (design, simulation, review) feel natural.Reality check: High price, comfort considerations, and a still-maturing app ecosystem limit mass consumer pull—so near-term momentum sits in pro workflows.Retail design: Lowe's uses Vision Pro to help customers and staff visualize kitchen designs at life-like scale.Aviation training: CAE employs spatial simulations to improve pilot training and decision practice.Industrial/product development: Dassault Systèmes integrates Vision Pro into engineering/design reviews with digital‑physical overlays.Faster decisions, fewer surprises: Seeing true-to-scale designs in context reduces back-and-forth and boosts stakeholder alignment.Training where stakes are high: Immersive rehearsal for rare or risky scenarios (flight, complex operations) improves readiness without real-world risk.Enterprise is the bridge: Business use may seed the apps and practices that eventually make Vision Pro mainstream.Total cost of ownership: $3,499 headset plus accessories, device management, and training time.Comfort & deployment at scale: Weight/battery tether and fleet management considerations.App depth: More native spatial apps are needed to replace iPad ports in pro workflows.If your work benefits from spatial context (design reviews, simulation, complex planning), Vision Pro is already delivering value.For general consumers, patience: enterprise adoption will likely drive app growth and hardware refinements that broaden appeal.WSJ — “Apple's Vision Pro Gaining Traction in Some Niches of Business”Link: https://www.wsj.com/articles/apples-vision-pro-gaining-traction-in-some-niches-of-business-16d3c74eJoin our live stream Mondays at 9 PM ET (search “Vision ProFiles” on YouTube), or catch the replay and audio on your favorite podcast app.Contact: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com · ThePodTalk.net

When things are simple and grounded, athletes feel safe to go all-in. What to try: Open sessions with minimal barriers, simple tasks that athletes can immediately attack. Anchor your program in clear, foundational principles. Avoid over-layering. Use simplicity to build confidence before introducing complexity. Is Complexity Distracting Us from What Actually Matters? – [6:08] Tim reflects on times when adding more didn't add value. Too much complexity can distract from what makes athletes feel fast, powerful, or confident. What to try: If a drill looks cool but the athletes are confused, simplify. Choose training elements that resonate emotionally and physically with athletes. Prioritize what sticks with them, not what looks best on social media. What Are Athletes Actually Feeling During a Drill? – [11:55] Tim discusses the disconnect between what coaches see and what athletes actually experience. You won't know unless you ask. What to try: Regularly pause to ask: “What did that feel like?” Adjust based on athlete feedback, even if it means letting go of your favorite drill. Use sensation-based questions to help athletes build awareness (“Did you feel the bounce off the floor?”). How Do We Make Coaching Feel Less Robotic? – [18:42] Athletes shut down when things feel overly mechanical. Tim points out that meaningful training often happens in the gray areas, not the rigidly planned ones. What to try: Let warmups flow with energy, don't always stick to a static script. Mix structure with spontaneity. Athletes should feel like they're moving, not executing code. Lean into athlete body language. Adjust volume and tone on the fly. What If the Goal Isn't Perfection, But Exploration? – [25:30] Tim encourages a shift from perfect execution to active exploration. Growth comes from seeing what might work, not just repeating what's safe. What to try: Create “choose your own path” movement options in skill work. Use sessions that feel like problem-solving, not rehearsing. Acknowledge when athletes take a risk, even if the result isn't clean. Can We Trust Athletes to Self-Organize? – [32:09]
