Richard Mackey is the Chief Technology Officer at CCS, a company that provides chronic care management services focusing on diabetes. CCS uses machine learning and generative AI to analyze patient data from continuous glucose monitors and patient interactions to predict potential issues and proactively provide personalized information and support. CCS works with the patient's healthcare provider to support the prescribed care plan, improve adherence to care plans, and improve outcomes. Richard explains, "On the machine learning side, we have a tremendous amount of data and information about how our patients will understand the devices they might be using. For example, continuous glucose monitors or CGMs are an important standard of care that we work with a lot of patients across the US to equip them, find the right device, help them begin using that device, and best understand what it can do and how it can help them make better decisions to manage their conditions." "We might talk to the patient once or twice a month. We might be talking to them multiple times within a quarter. In some cases, we're interacting with a patient more often than others in the ecosystem, maybe more often than even their physician in terms of the number of interactions per month or period, even their provider, their health insurance provider, as an example. So all that interaction helps give us information and data to take insights on what those patients might need, what's most important to them, how they interact with us. We also can work with a variety of other sources to bring information together. And by using the machine learning tools that we've developed, we can understand things that are important to them. So, it might be around the product or specific information related to the plan or the payer they're working with." #CCSmed #Diabete #CGM #ChronicCare #HealthAI #AI CCSmed.com Download the transcript here

What you'll get out of this episodeListen in as host Tim Fitzpatrick chats with Hillary Lin about Hillary's journey from launching Curio at the start of the pandemic to navigating their latest pivot into cancer care. Hillary's training and clinical experience led her to founding a holistic wellness startup that evolved into psychedelic-assisted therapy to where it is now as a comprehensive care delivery and navigation company.

So what are my thoughts on emotional chatbots? At the time of writing, I'm undecided because this realm is still developing as we speak. I think early versions of emotional support chatbots will not feel incredibly fulfilling or validating to most users. However, there is a world where people may be so socialized to AI entities that they will feel at home interacting with them. For now, I'm more interested in how AI can help us think and stay accountable to our own goals. More of a coach, perhaps, than a therapist. The New York Times published an article on Inflection AI's Pi companion, which seems to validate this feeling. "With a level of enthusiasm only a robot could muster before coffee, Pi pushed me to break down my to-do list to create a realistic plan. Like much of the bot's advice, it was obvious and simple, the kind of thing you would read in a self-help article by a productivity guru.

An estimated 69 million people worldwide are currently living with traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI can lead to short- and long-term conditions including sleep disorders, depression, headaches and an increased risk of suicide. TBI has recently been recognised as a chronic condition, although the human factors involved in recovery remain understudied. Working to address this is Professor Barrett S. Caldwell who leads the GROUPER Laboratory at Purdue University, USA.
Sean Duffy has already raised hundreds of millions of dollars for his enterprise health company that is blending technology and medicine together. The venture, Omada Health, attracted funding from top-tier investors like Wellington Management, Empede Capital, aMoon Fund, and Civilization Ventures.
Late in May of this year, three-ish months ago, I did an inbetweenisode that explores the “why with the no collaboration” amongst healthcare stakeholders and what the lack of collaboration signifies. That episode got a lot of traction and engagement. This episode that follows is a pretty good approximation of a presentation that I made at the MTVA (Moving to Value Alliance) symposium that happened in Connecticut this past June. If you listened to the earlier show about collaboration, this one is slightly different, shorter, and more to the point. So, let's start here: When you listen to any patient with a chronic condition talk about their challenges with the healthcare industry—and yes, if a patient has a chronic condition, more often than not, that is what they will talk about, their challenges … I went on Twitter just now, and it took me literally 13 minutes to collect what I'm going to say are 300+ Tweets written by patients and their caregivers complaining about their chronic care journey. That's the sad part. I don't mean to kick this off talking about problems; however, if you're gonna solve for something, it is important to understand what problem you are solving for. You do not want to be a solution looking around for a problem. So, let's fix this, this rampant problem problem that chronic care patients seem to have. Many of the patient challenges in the 300 Tweets that I just collected can be grouped into two major categories. And these two major challenge groups can really only be solved for with collaboration amongst healthcare stakeholders. So, let's dig in here. The first major patient challenge is what I'm gonna call the care gap problem. I was talking to someone at a provider organization the other day, and she had 8000 known care gaps with patients and [insert overwhelm here]. And these were just the care gaps that showed up on somebody's radar because they added up to a quality metric, which is sometimes the definition people use for what is a care gap. But if we think about all the other holes in patient care, the typical care gaps that are identified probably come not even close to the total number of actual care gaps: patients who can't see their specialist because they can't get ahold of their records from the local health system or no coordination of care. Coordination is probably another synonym for collaboration. This is a huge deal. People literally die because their clinician cannot get their biopsy results or whatever from somebody else. That's a care gap as deep as a grave. Or patients who keep showing up in the ER because they aren't getting the help or the meds or the accurate diagnoses or the treatment plan that they need to stay out of the ER ... My grandfather had heart failure. At the end of his life, he was probably in the ER once a month. It was sad and painful and expensive and totally unnecessary. But his PCP didn't seem to be collaborating with the specialists, and the ER I don't think was telling anybody what was going on. Right? Or patients who can't get a drug they need approved by their insurance, so they wind up in crisis. Crappy prior auth processes create care gaps. All of these things are gaps in care. Carly Eckert, MD (EP361), was on the podcast; and she made a crucial point for me. In fact, I tried to get her to come on the podcast originally to talk about care gaps and closing care gaps; but she categorically refused. Chronic care management, she said, should not be a game of whack-a-mole. It may be better than nothing, a game of whack-a-mole; but it is certainly not ideal. Chronic care management by care gap is like cooking with a fire extinguisher. If we want to eliminate care gaps for reals, let's just not have care gaps. So, how do you go about not having care gaps, then? The goal should be to craft a non-fragmented patient journey. Let's figure out what a great care journey looks like ahead of time and then try to keep the patient on it. That is the best way to eliminate care gaps: proactively. You don't have them. Immediately, because I am a person of action, I went into my filing cabinet; and I actually found an example of a patient journey map amongst my papers that I had worked on years ago. You have probably seen one of these and may have some of your own patient journey maps tucked away in a binder in your office somewhere. Most people have them. There are a few things that they all have in common, irrespective of the disease state or the organization or anything. The things that they have in common are they are complicated flowcharts with a lot going on. Besides just being complicated, the other thing that patient journey maps all have in common is that there are multiple parties mentioned with roles in that patient journey. You're gonna have a PCP, a specialist or two, a hospital, a payer, a pharma company more than likely, a PBM maybe, maybe a community organization … Here's a quote that kinda sums that up from Dr. William Bestermann: “Improving chronic disease management is an enormous problem that requires multiple stakeholders coming together to combine new science, new systems, and new payment models in a comprehensive solution. No one person or organization can make progress that matters. The problem is too big.” Is this obvious? I think it's pretty obvious. But yet, collaboration in general at the organizational level is less than common. With uncommon exceptions, you not only don't have multiple providers working together but—heaven forbid!—you have payers and providers or other entities working together. But just taking this back to the thrust of this conversation, the first major patient challenge can only be solved for with collaboration to create a non-fragmented patient journey, which reduces care gaps by avoiding care gaps in the first place. So, collaboration is a rate critical for a non-fragmented patient journey to eliminate care gaps that patients have big issues with. So now, let's move on now to the second big problem category that chronic care patients were Tweeting about in those Tweets that I collected: They can't afford their care. This crisis of affordability is a huge patient challenge that, it's not the only thing, but we can't solve for it without being collaborative, without having collaborative relationships along the patient journey. I don't really want to get into how much healthcare prices have skyrocketed, but healthcare prices have been inflating at 4x the cost of everything else. This causes mental health issues; it causes stress. There's a show with Wayne Jenkins from Centivo where we dig into this deeply. Listen to EP358. It is inarguable at this point that financial toxicity is clinical toxicity. I have a folder on my computer where I chuck references for this statement, and at this point, I probably have 400 studies and articles that all say the same thing in different ways with different patient populations. Most of these patients are insured. By the way, just because you have insurance doesn't mean that you can afford to use it. And patients who cannot afford their care have worse clinical outcomes. Period. End of sentence. Minor sidebar because I was really like head exploding emoji this morning: I saw somebody in a forum today lashing out at patients suffering with crippling medical debt saying that these people really should take some personal responsibility for the financial choices that they have made. WTH? The entity not taking responsibility for people losing their life savings and their homes simply because they had the fortune of getting sick or injured, the entity that should be taking some responsibility here is a broken, profit-driven healthcare industry. Let me just add some fidelity to what I mean when I say “the healthcare industry,” which really should take some responsibility here for the financial toxicity that they themselves are creating. Consider that a lot of medical debt is of a balance bill nature and the people being pursued generally signed a contract which they did not understand the consequences of, because most of them had “insurance” and they certainly weren't given a quote up-front so that they could make a rational economic choice. So, let's add some fidelity: How do we make healthcare more affordable? Or how do we make the charges not a complete surprise at a minimum? How do we do that? Lots of ways, big and small, are required; but let's talk about one of them: Navigate patients to high-quality providers charging a fair price. Navigate patients to providers who do not do low-value things and who have practice patterns that are aligned with evidence-based medicine (ie, get employers and providers to direct contract, especially in non-FFS ways, especially as it relates to primary care where there are measurable outcomes or quality). ACOs or CINs (clinically integrated networks) who know how to refer to high-value specialists or hospitals is another example of a collaboration that can help with affordability. Some health plans and TPAs (third-party administrators) are starting to get really data-driven about how they go about this. Point being, to coordinate care to or amongst high-value providers, multiple parties have to be involved (ie, collaboration). So, in sum, we talked about two common and major patient problems, which are probably not a surprise to anyone listening. The two are a lack of coordinated care (patients falling into gigantic care gaps) and then also a lack of affordability. We know how to solve for both of these issues. Defragment care and steer patients to high-quality provider organizations/hospitals/CoEs with competitive prices. Collaborate in these two ways. So, why are so few doing it, then? You can always count on me to say the quiet part out loud, so here we go: The business model of most, many, lots of healthcare organizations, both for-profit and tax-exempt, is revenue maximization. As Kevin Schulman, MD, said on the podcast (EP366), it's not A or B; we have a dysfunctional healthcare benefits system in this country. But nonetheless, if we want to identify a root cause for why with the no interoperability, why with the info blocking to prevent network leakage, why with the no collaboration … it's not a technical problem at its core. It's not a HIPAA concern, really, at its core. It's a business case problem. And I don't say this as any sort of castigation. I say this because it's actionable information. Tiptoeing around a thing that we all know just clutters our ability to come up with a solution that is actually going to work. Really understanding a pretty big root cause behind why needed collaborations don't happen is necessary. This level of introspection is required for those who are mission driven to find others who are similarly mission driven to get a collaboration over the line. But the good news is success stories abound. It's my belief the healthcare industry won't be transformed in one giant turn of some flywheel. It's gonna be transformed one local market at a time. And there's a lot of great stuff happening in local markets. Listen to the show with Dave Chase (EP374) for a bunch of examples. There's a show with Cora Opsahl (EP372) that has some great examples of this. There's the one with Doug Hetherington (EP367). We also have a show coming up in October with Nick Stefanizzi from Northwell Direct. All of these great examples are stakeholders harnessing the power of collaboration to defragment patient journeys and get patients into high-value care settings so that the overall cost of care is in range for employers, taxpayers, patients, and American families. I'm so excited, honestly, about that because the healthcare industry is a legacy that we will leave behind to children and grandchildren. I have a vision in my head about what I want the healthcare industry to look like in 25 years. Maybe you do, too. Listen to the show with David Muhlestein, PhD, JD (EP364), for more on that. But the point is, if this vision is going to come true, we need to—like, right now—start building the roadmap to get to that goal. And a lot of this involves facilitating collaboration. Actually collaborating, for reals. There's real momentum behind that in organizations such as the Moving to Value Alliance in Connecticut, where I originally gave a version of this same talk. Thanks, by the way, to Steve Schutzer, MD, for moderating the collaboration panel that I was a part of at aforementioned MTVA symposium. Not only is he a great moderator, but he also has done a great service for patients through his ability to get a whole bunch of surgeons—who are pretty competitive as a general rule—to collaborate and form a Center of Excellence.

Today on MS Understood we chat with Chris. We talked about the skewed view of disease in the world but particularly when working as a chronic care nurse working with people who are quite debilitated from their multiple sclerosis diagnosis. Living with MS and working in that space is curious and a constant reminder to Chris that is really is a spectrum disease. We talk about the guilt that arises in our relationships of not being able to do what we once did before diagnosis. We also talk about toxic positivity and being in denial after a diagnosis and the importance of finding a good psychologist or therapist after a diagnosis.

I love caring for patients with chronic conditions now, but it wasn't always the case. Like so many new grads, I struggled with caring for patients managing chronic conditions -- where to start, how to proceed, feeling like we weren't making any progress towards “control” of those conditions (diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, etc).When I was a new nurse practitioner, I was incredibly focused on the diagnostic algorithms and medication management. Which, of course, is crucial to know, but isn't truly what moves the needle in chronic conditions.In this episode, I cover:What moves the needle in chronic conditionsNormalize what and why this is so hardWhat my dog has taught me about caring for patients (and can help you too)A practical framework for navigating the management of these conditions**PS our brand new course Managing DIabetes, Hypertension and CKD in Primary Care opens for enrollment next week.

Our guests Meredith & Irina are nurses, chronic care management experts, teachers, and entrepreneurs who saw the disconnect between resources for chronic patients and proper care. Meeting through the NursePreneurs network, Meredith and Irina joined forces to coordinate care for patients, now teaching other nurses how to start their own CCM businesses! While most physicians are spread thin, spending an average of 11 minutes with each patient only, there's a huge need for healthcare professionals to take on CCM roles. Through chronic care management courses, Meredith and Irina teach nurse entrepreneurs to fill in the gaps to coordinate additional care for chronic patients. Meredith and Irina help their students learn the backend of the business including training on marketing and networking to find clients. They also help their students keep a positive mindset in the face of rejection, helping them persist when the going gets tough. Giving students all the tools needed for success, Meredith and Irina are looking for hardworking nurses that are ready to take the reins and put in the work to learn the ins and outs of CCM. To learn more about CCM courses register through our webinar or connect on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1617414258459017.

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men's Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in medical and urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined by friend of the practice, Dr. Billy Franklin who is founder and Medical Director of Victory Medical Center in South Austin, Westlake and Cedar Park. Today, Dr. Franklin and Dr. Mistry discuss Chronic Care Management, or "CCR," and Remote Patient Management, or "RPM." These new approaches to primary care are meant to address chronic health conditions and prevent emergency problems through the close monitoring of your vital statistics and other health measures regularly and remotely from the comfort of your home. When problems arise, the medical provider is then able to intervene before the condition worsens to the point of needing hospitalization or other more invasive measures. Both CCM and RPM are offered at Victory Medical Center and covered by Medicare and United Healthcare. As always, Dr. Franklin reminds us that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Looking back at 2020, we might say that this was the year that changed everything in healthcare. If that's the case, Vida will have likely played a big role in this change. They're focused on some of the most costly areas of healthcare in chronic care management and mental health. And, they sell to payers and employers who, with incentives to keep patients out of costly situations, are playing a bigger and bigger role in actual patient care. My guest today is Stephanie Tilenius, the founder and CEO of Vida Health. She founded Vida in January of 2014 (right around the same time as Redox, by the way) after a storied career in silicon valley having worked at eBay, PayPal, Google, and as an executive in residence at Kleiner Perkins. Since then, Vida has raised $83M including a recent $25m round in April and has, according to LinkedIn, nearly 500 employees. Vida is a mobile continuous care platform for preventing, managing and overcoming chronic and mental health conditions deployed at Fortune 500 companies and large national payers. We were able to talk a bit about how Vida actually interacts with patients and changes their behavior, some of their outcomes, and the shifting dynamics in the industry. Big thanks to Stephanie for coming on the show as well as to everyone at Vida for making healthcare a little bit better. Highlights: 01:22 - How and why Stephanie went from consumer products to healthcare 05:49 - Onboarding and triaging users 08:16 - Mental health and chronic conditions are tied together 11:38 - Measuring outcomes at Vida 14:30 - Selling into the payer space 16:18 - Since COVID, payers have increased demand for digital health 18:13 - Telehealth reimbursement parody discussed 19:20 - Vida's $25M latest round of funding 21:14 - How payers are shifting towards value based care 26:10 - Potential channel conflicts with community providers

With more than 44 million Americans filing for unemployment since mid-March, the financial fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic has made managing chronic disease an afterthought tor some, and an impossibility for others. Lacking adequate resources, many are struggling to maintain their medical regimens, which often involve produce-rich diets and regular purchases of prescription medication. "We definitely are seeing a number of patients who are really just barely getting by,” says Dr. Mary Herbert, the clinical director of the Birmingham Free Clinic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Herbert treats patients with chronic disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. She says many of her patients are forgoing care to attend to more immediate needs, such as paying the rent or feeding their families. Others have been unable to pick up their prescriptions because they can't afford the cost of transportation. On this episode of the podcast, we speak with Dr. Herbert and other healthcare providers about how the financial consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic are affecting patients' ability to manage their chronic condition.

Listen Now Bundled or episodic health care payment for a clinically defined medical episodes of care has been used since at least the 1980s. However, recently CMS has initiated two bundled payment demonstrations, the Bundled Payment for Care Improvement Demonstration (BPCI) that bundles care for 48 (DRG) episodes of care began in 2013 and more recently CMS proposed the Chronic Care for Joint Replacement (CCJR) demonstration this past July. Considered the middle ground between fee for service reimbursement and capitated payment the jury is still out whether bundled payments can be designed to reduce cost growth and improve care quality and patient outcomes. During this 22 minute conversation, Mr. Miller addresses five aspects of bundled payment and how well or not these aspects are addressed in CMS's recent CCJR proposal to mandate bundled payment for hip and knee replacement surgeries in 75 markets nationally. Theses aspects are: how well or not bundled payment addresses the underlying problems of fee for service reimbursement and whether bundled payments incent or not care innovation; what types of patients are best served under bundled payment arrangements; how best providers can organize to be effective and efficient under these arrangements; how well bundled payments address over-utilization; and, how episodic payments can be integrated with wider care coordination and whole person care. Harold D. Miler is the President and CEO of the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform. He also serves as Adjunct Professor of Public Policy and Management at Carnegie Mellon University. From 2008 to 2013, Mr. Miller served as President and CEO of the Network for Regional Healthcare Improvement, the national association of the Regional Health Improvement Collaboratives. From 2006 to 2010, Mr. Miller serves as the Strategic Initiatives Consultant to the Pennsylvania Governor's Office of Policy Development, Associate Dean of the Heinz School of Public Policy and Management at Carnegie Mellon, Executive Director of the PA Economy League, Director of the SW PA Growth Alliance and the President of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development.

He assisted CMS with the implementation of its Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative in 2012. Mr. Miller also serves on the Board of Directors of the National Quality Forum.For more on bundled payment see Mr. Miller's, "Bundling Better, How Medicare Should Pay for Comprehensive Care" published September 2015, at: http://www.chqpr.org/index.html.

Listen NowThe most expensive Medicare beneficiaries are not those with multiple chronic conditions. They are those with chronic conditions AND functional impairment (i.e., those needing help with routine life activities). For example, the 15% of Medicare enrollees with both chronic conditions and functional limitations disproportinally account for one-third of Medicare spending. Alternatively, Medicare enrollees with three or more chronic conditions but no functional impairment (48%) account for roughly the same percent of spending (51%). The challenge therefore both in improving quality care for the chronically ill and reducing costs (via, for example, reduced hospitalizations) is in improving long term care supports and services (LTSS). During this 26-minute podcast Dr. Alkema defines "functional limitation" and "care coordination", explains the current lack of care coordination for Medicare patients with chronic conditions and functional limitations, describes three exemplary models of care coordination and what Medicare can or should do to improve care for these patients.Dr. Gretchen Alkema currently serves as Vice President of Policy and Communications for The SCAN Foundation. Prior to joining SCAN Dr. Alkema was the 2008-09 John Heinz Health and Aging Policy Fellow serving in the office of Sen. Blanche Lincoln.

Functional decline in an elderly person can be the first indicator of a chronic condition ready to snowball out of control. Patricia Zinkus, director of case management at Fallon Community Health Plan, and Susan Legacy, FCHP's senior manager of case management, describe how their collaborative multidisciplinary intervention monitors for these changes, and why the program's social component is just as critical as home visits and case management outreach. Ms. Zinkus and Ms. Legacy will share details from FCHP's risk-sharing model during "Identifying Functional Decline in Chronic Care Patients To Reduce Preventable Healthcare Utilization," 45-minute webinar on April 27, 2011.
Predictive modeling and health risk stratification can help providers identify members for case management and disease management interventions, says Dr. William Vennart, vice president of medical management and national medical director with CareAdvantage Inc. These methods ensure that patients receive treatment for their chronic conditions early on and, in turn, reduce unnecessary utilization and lower acute and chronic care costs. Dr. Vennart, along with John Harris, chief wellness officer and senior vice president for Healthways, described how their organizations have approached health risk stratification, from how individuals are identified for stratification purposes to the effectiveness of risk stratification programs during the webinar, Reducing Acute and Chronic Care Costs Through an Effective Health Risk Stratification Model.
