They are a single, continuous system, and treating them otherwise is costing health plans time, money, and patient outcomes.Dr. Bill Kerr, Co-Founder and CEO of Avalon Healthcare Solutions, has spent over a decade building the infrastructure to close that gap.With a career spanning chief medical officer roles at WellCare Health Plans and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida, Bill brings rare fluency across clinical science, health plan economics, and operational complexity.Through Avalon's Diagnostic Insights Platform, his team is ensuring the right test reaches the right patient at the right time, driving smarter decisions and reducing costly waste across millions of members nationwide.Join us to discover how precision diagnostics are reshaping the future of value-based care. Let's go!Episode Highlights:Dr. Kerr founded Avalon to accelerate lab science adoption, closing the costly 20-year gap between discovery and clinical use.Lab testing is only 10% of medical spend, but drives 70% of clinical decisions, making diagnostic precision essential.In non-small cell lung cancer, only one-third of patients currently receive best-in-class, mutation-targeted treatment.Avalon now serves 30 health plans and roughly 100 million lives, expanding into diagnostic imaging with AI integration.Dr. Kerr's ask to the community: help Avalon bring diagnostic insights into the exam room without adding clinical noise.About our Guest:Before co-founding Avalon, Dr. Kerr served as the Chief Medical and Growth Officer atCareCentrix, a company focused on delivering healthcare at home.

One of the earliest films from Oscar-nominated Austrailian director Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poet's Society, The Truman Show, Master & Commander), this is a stirring tale of one of THE pivotal events in the history of Australia: their campaign with British forces to fight the Turkish forces in World War I on the hills of Gallipoli more than a hundred years ago.  The story focuses on two young Austrailian sprinters (Mark Lee, Mel Gibson) who enlist together and form a strong bond, before eventually facing the brutal realities of "The Great War" when they are sent to fight.  When it came out forty-five years ago, this film was not only a seminal event in Australian cinema for war movies overall.  It also co-stars Bill Kerr, John Murphy, and Bill Hunter. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Dr. Bill Kerr, Co-Founder and CEO of Avalon Healthcare Solutions, highlights the critical role of advanced precision diagnostics and how these tools are driving true precision medicine, where therapies are targeted to specific genetic mutations. There have been significant innovations, such as less invasive liquid biopsies and the application of AI to interpret medical images and complex lab results, which provide faster analysis and make it easier to monitor disease over time. The future of diagnostics includes more routine tests and imaging to enable earlier interventions and more effective treatments by overcoming the logistical and physical challenges of traditional tissue biopsies in cancer care. Bill explains, "At Avalon, we believe that if you don't get the diagnosis right, the rest of healthcare is wasted, and time is wasted on getting a patient better. So our number one focus is getting the science of diagnostics deployed into the healthcare ecosystem. I think a lot of people know that there's been a lot of innovation in lab testing, as well as in advanced diagnostic imaging. And historically, it takes 17 to 20 years to get new science evenly adopted, and we want to accelerate that process. So that's really our focus. We say sciences are True North, and our goal is to get that science deployed into the healthcare system."   "I think, unfortunately, we used the phrase precision medicine too early. When it was really precision diagnostics, and I'll separate the two out. For over a decade, we've been able to measure, let's say for instance, in cancer, what mutations might be in the cancer cells, but we didn't have any new therapies to offer. So while the phrase precision medicine was used, all we did was identify the mutations, build up an understanding of the disease, but offer the same cancer therapy. Now we actually have therapies that target some of those specific mutations."   "We truly have reached the era of precision medicine. But I think getting people to understand that now it's not just measuring the mutation, it's measuring the mutation and selecting the chemotherapy based on that. That's the new reality, and that's what we're trying to get people to understand. And that's why I think undertesting still happens, because people aren't maybe aware that now there are therapeutic decisions you can make off those results." #Avalonhcs #PrecisionMedicine #Diagnostics #HealthcareInnovation #LiquidBiopsy #Healthtech #DiagnosticIntelligence  #AIinHealthcare #PersonalizedMedicine #Oncology #HealthcareProfessionals #MedicalTechnology #PatientCare avalonhcs.com Download the transcript here

Managing the Future of Work co-chairs and podcast co-hosts, Joe Fuller and Bill Kerr, share highlights and insights from 2025 and look ahead to 2026. Top podcasts, research, trends, and a forthcoming book on managing the future of work.

In this episode, we look at the brilliant parody episode The Blackboard Jungle from the third radio series. Lost for decades and only recovered as recently as 2005, the triumvirate of Hancock fans consider how fortunate we are to be able to review an original recording of this episode.  The team review how closely the episode follows the plotline of the film on which it is based, look at the brilliant roles played by both Bill Kerr and Andree Melly and debate, in detail, whether Hancock is wearing a light mac or a brown overcoat. Don't forget to rate and subscribe to the podcast. And if you haven't done so already, why not join the Tony Hancock Appreciation Society - full details of how to join are at www.tonyhancock.org.uk. We are already planning events for 2026, and we'd love to welcome you as a member and see you at our events. In addition, screenings of Hancock's TV episodes on the big screen continue at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, with the next event due to be held on 31st January 2026. We'll be back in a couple of weeks with a look at the radio episode, The Scandal Magazine.   We hope to see you then.

This Saturday Matinee is brimming with classic British comedy and golden age orchestral charm. We begin with "The Goon Show" in "Emperor of the Universe", as Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, and Harry Secombe take us on a delightfully absurd hunt for 25 million missing Englishmen.

Next, enjoy "Hancock's Half Hour" in "Hancock's Car", where Tony Hancock, Sid James, and Bill Kerr deliver a hilarious tale of motoring misadventures. The laughs keep rolling with "Beyond Our Ken" in "This Happy Breed", starring Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden, and Bill Pertwee. We round off the afternoon with the romantic "Lovelight in the Starlight" from the Emery Deutsch Orchestra. Sit back and enjoy a perfect mix of laughter, music, and nostalgia from radio's golden years here on Vintage Classic Radio.

When Happi Co. CEO Sam Rockwell partnered with Snoop Dogg and his son, Cordell Broadus, to launch Dr. Bombay Ice Cream, the team set out to disrupt a stagnant market with bold flavors and culturally resonant branding. With national retail placement and projected first-year sales of $20 million, the brand quickly made its mark. Now, as Rockwell plans the next phase—marketing, fundraising, and expanding into new markets—he must also navigate the dynamics of a creator-led brand, balancing roles and staying nimble and authentic. Sam Rockwell and Harvard Business School professor Bill Kerr join host Brian Kenny to discuss Kerr's case, “Dr. Bombay Ice Cream,” which explores the launch and growth of a lifestyle brand built on cultural storytelling and entrepreneurial ambition.

Shake Shack Chief Growth Officer Steph So and HBS professor Chris Stanton join Bill Kerr to discuss the fast-casual chain's digital strategy and how technology is changing the dining experience and restaurant work, from frontline to back office.
