Podcasts about chronic disease management

What if the most important care in the entire healthcare system is also the most underfunded? While hospitals and inpatient reimbursements rise with inflation, the physician fee schedule has quietly declined roughly 33% in real terms over 25 years — and this year it's facing another cut. In this episode, Jamie Preston sits down with Your Health CEO Matt Staub, just back from Capitol Hill, where he spent a record-setting 95-degree day meeting with seven legislative offices to advocate for physicians, providers, and the patients they serve across rural South Carolina, Georgia, and beyond. What follows is part field report, part reflection on why preventive primary care saves money and lives — and why we plan meticulously for weddings, retirement, and vacations, but treat our own health with a "call us if something happens" approach. In this conversation: Why a 2.5–5% physician fee cut hits frontline rural practices hardest The bipartisan doctors' caucus and the real appetite for reform Why winning can come from a loss — the Kobe Bryant mindset on process over outcome How a Disney ride (Spaceship Earth) reframes humanity's whole story around communication The case for proactive, team-based primary care over reactive sick visits Press play for a conversation about advocacy, communication, and a simple, powerful idea: the change you need to make starts with you.

This episode of Quality Matters examines the growing role of digital wellness and chronic condition management programs and the challenge of measuring what truly matters. Host Rachel Harrington is joined by Peter Robertson of the Purchasing Business Group on Health and California Quality Collaborative and Kevin Masci of Omada Health to discuss how digital health solutions can help address rising healthcare costs, workforce shortages and fragmented care experiences. Peter and Kevin explain why meaningful engagement goes far beyond app downloads and login counts. Instead, successful programs focus on sustained participation, patient-centered goal setting, integration with primary care and measurable improvements in health outcomes. The conversation explores how employers, health plans and providers are evaluating digital solutions through clinical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, utilization measures and value-based contracting arrangements. The guests also discuss one of the most important challenges facing digital health: trust. Privacy, transparency, data security and clear communication about how patient data is collected and used all play critical roles in long-term adoption. The episode concludes with a Patient Voice segment featuring Brandee Hicks, who shares her firsthand experiences using digital health tools, highlighting both the convenience they offer and the ongoing challenges around interoperability, digital literacy and maintaining support after programs end.     Highlights Beyond Logins and Clicks Meaningful engagement isn't about how often patients open an app. It's about helping people achieve their health goals through sustained participation and measurable outcomes. Measuring What Matters Guests discuss the growing use of clinical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, utilization data and value-based contracting to assess digital health program performance. Trust Is Essential Digital health solutions must address concerns around privacy, transparency, data security and how patient information is stored and shared. The Patient Perspective Brandee Hicks shares how digital tools can improve organization, access and self-management while also revealing gaps in continuity, support and interoperability. Looking Ahead The future of digital health depends on better integration with primary care, more personalized engagement strategies and stronger measurement frameworks that prioritize patient outcomes.     Key Quote: "If we're really serious about improving health outcomes, we have to move beyond measuring clicks and logins. The real question is whether people are achieving meaningful progress toward their health goals—and whether these programs are creating lasting value for patients, providers and purchasers alike." — Kevin Masci     Time Stamps: (02:20) Meet Peter Robertson (03:45) Meet Kevin Masci (05:53) Why Digital Solutions Matter (10:01) Care Coordination, Not Care Fragmentation (11:52) Defining Meaningful Patient Engagement (15:07) Why Consistent Measurement Matters (18:32) Measuring Outcomes in Value-Based Contracts (21:12) Data Stratification, Risk Adjustment and Performance Guarantees (27:22) Privacy, Trust and Transparency in Digital Health (30:44) The Future of Digital Wellness and Chronic Care Management (35:08) Patient Voice: Brandee Hicks (40:25) Patient Challenges, Access and Continuity of Care (45:23) Key Takeaways and Closing Thoughts     Dive Deeper: Connect with Peter Robertson Connect with Kevin Masci Connect with Brandee Hicks Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if your healthcare team already knew what happened during your hospital stay — before you even explained it? What if someone on your care team noticed you were struggling on a Saturday and simply showed up? In this episode, Jamie sits down with Christopher Laffey, Nurse Practitioner at Your Health, to break down what a truly connected, proactive model of care actually looks like when it's working. Christopher practices in North Charleston, SC, where his team — nurses, therapists, social workers, community health workers, and more — functions less like a traditional office practice and more like a living, breathing safety net woven around each patient's real life. What you'll hear in this episode: Why most patients are failing not because nobody cares, but because the system itself is fragmented — and what doing it differently actually looks like on a Tuesday morning The real difference between "patient-centered" as a marketing phrase and patient-centered as a daily practice (hint: it involves seeing the medication bottles on the kitchen table) A powerful real-life story of a bedbound patient whose caregiver suddenly disappeared — and how the team mobilized over a weekend, on their own time, to prevent a hospitalization The single mindset shift every clinician needs to make the transition from visit-based thinking to longitudinal care Why "value-based care" doesn't mean discounted care — it means the organization is accountable for your outcomes, not just your appointments If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling more confused than when you walked in, this episode will show you what healthcare can feel like when it's actually designed around you. www.YourHealth.Org

What does it actually cost when a doctor writes a verbal order over the phone instead of seeing the patient? Scott Middleton has the receipts — and the answer is going to make you rethink everything about how American healthcare spends its money. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott announces a landmark three-way merger bringing Your Health together with Transitional Care Professionals of America (TCPA) out of Georgia and Providence Care, a hospice organization in South Carolina. The combined organization will serve approximately 55,000 active patients — not patients on a list, but people being seen regularly — and Scott lays out exactly how he's going to run it. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Scott's family owning 80% of the merged company changes everything about how decisions get made — and who they get made for The difference between fee-for-service and value-based care, and why the ACO model means every unnecessary hospitalization literally comes out of Your Health's pocket How Your Health's risk-adjustment-based visit model (16 visits per year per risk point) was independently validated by a new government study — and why it works The three things Scott is asking every new employee to do in the first weeks: align with a nurse practitioner, track every minute of care management, and recruit like their livelihood depends on it — because it does Why Scott's new management philosophy is six words: "Keep them out of the hospital and see your damn patients" This isn't a corporate announcement. It's a playbook for how healthcare can actually work when operators run the company, providers see their patients, and every minute of care gets counted. www.YourHealth.Org

For the nearly one million Americans living with Parkinson's disease, the space between neurology appointments can feel like a void — symptoms shift, medications need adjusting, and urgent questions pile up with nowhere to turn. That gap in continuous care is exactly the problem Rune Labs set out to solve. With its StrivePD app, Rune Labs has built a platform powered by FDA-cleared movement analysis and one of the largest real-world Parkinson's datasets in existence. Now, the company is going further — launching an AI caregiver directly inside the app: a coordinated system of specialized AI agents, including a Medication Assistant, Symptom Expert, and PD Coach, that deliver personalized, evidence-based guidance based on each patient's own real-time data. In this episode of Digital Health Talks, host Megan Antonelli sits down with Amy Gordon Franzen, the new CEO of Rune Labs, to explore how the company is redefining what it means to support patients not just in the clinic, but every moment of every day. From the science behind the platform to the policy, trust, and ethical questions that come with deploying AI in a chronic disease setting, this is a conversation about what the future of neurological care can actually look like — and who gets to shape it. Amy Gordon Franzen, CEO, Rune Labs Megan Antonelli, Chief Executive Officer, HealthIMPACT

What if every "non-compliant" patient was actually a signal that the system isn't working for them? In this episode, Jamie sits down with Jaclyn Taylor, Clinical Strategy Director at Your Health and a nurse practitioner who started her career as a home-based provider in 2020 — thrown straight into the fire of COVID, isolated patients, and a healthcare world rewriting itself in real time. What she saw inside patients' homes — medications scattered on tables, food insecurity, missing transportation — changed how she thinks about every chart she's ever read. You'll hear: Why a nurse-first pathway gives nurse practitioners a fundamentally different lens than a medical school pathway — and why patients feel it What working across home care, telehealth, trauma, and wellness teaches you about treating the whole human, not just the diagnosis Why trauma surgery turned Jacqueline into a believer in proactive, longitudinal care — and what gets missed when we only meet patients after something has already gone wrong The two words she uses to describe what's most broken in traditional healthcare: fragmentation and misalignment How empathy stops being a poster and starts being operational — built into the design of care itself If you've ever felt invisible inside the healthcare system, or if you're the one trying to fix it, this conversation reframes the whole game.

This episode recorded live at the Becker's 16th Annual Meeting features Lucienne Ide, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer, Health Recovery Solutions. Here, she explores how remote patient monitoring is evolving into a connected, longitudinal care model that supports chronic disease management across the full patient journey, with an emphasis on interoperability, simplicity, and improving outcomes in a value-based care environment. This episode is sponsored by Health Recovery Solutions.

What if the people case-managing your care had a financial reason to keep you sicker? That's the uncomfortable question Scott Middleton puts on the table in this episode — recorded live from the American Case Managers Conference in Orlando, where Scott went to learn, and ended up being told Your Health didn't "fit" because they weren't a hospital. Jamie and Scott unpack what the nurse case manager role actually looks like at Your Health — and why moving case management out of hospitals and into patients' homes isn't just better care, it's better economics. Scott shares the research proving the model works: 50% reduction in Medicare spend when patients are seen at the right frequency by the right people. In this episode: Why hospitalists may be "the demise of the American healthcare system" The difference between nurse practitioners (diagnose and treat) and nurse case managers (assess and guide) — and why blurring them costs patients The 16.05-visits-per-risk-point model David Clemens' research validated How coding departments are quietly diagnosing patients with diseases they don't have Why Medicare's 6-year insolvency window may be the disruption we need Head-to-toe assessments, delegation rights, and the real job of an RN in the home If you've ever suspected the system is working exactly as designed — just not for the patient — press play. www.YourHealth.Org

Most providers interrupt their patients within 18 seconds. What if the next few minutes of silence could tell you more than the next hour of testing? In Part 2 of the Your Health Values Series, Jamie  sits down again with members of the Your Health Experience Team — Rebecca, Jennifer, Whitney,  and Carlos — to go beneath the surface of "patient-centered care" and look at what empathy really demands in the pressured, everyday moments of healthcare. This isn't a conversation about being nice. It's a conversation about seeing people — patients, families, and colleagues — for everything they're carrying, even when they're hiding it behind a smile. In this episode: Why empathy is officially non-negotiable at Your Health — and what that looks like in practice The difference between emotional empathy and "empathetic sternness" (and why both save lives) How to recognize when a patient or colleague is carrying something deeper than their symptoms The real threat of empathy fatigue — and how to keep giving without burning out The two "holy times" in healthcare where empathy matters most What patients actually say when they feel truly seen If you've ever wondered whether the extra 60 seconds is worth it, this episode will show you why it's everything.

A man is dying — literally in his last hour, the death rattle audible — and the hospital team arrives to take him for a radiation treatment. His family had no idea. No one had told them. No one had started the conversation. This is not a rare exception. This is what happens when social services is treated as an afterthought. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, host Jamie Preston and Scott Middleton, Owner and Chief Disruption Officer of Your Health, go deep on one of the most overlooked levers in healthcare — social services. From the social determinants that drive healthcare costs more than healthcare itself, to the care team structures Your Health is building to close the gap, this is a candid, unfiltered look at what's broken, what's possible, and what it actually costs when we don't act. What you'll hear in this episode: Why social determinants of health — food access, medication literacy, housing instability, social isolation — are the real drivers of healthcare spending, and why most systems still ignore them The truth about advanced care planning: why it's quietly dropping, why every patient within two to three years of death needs that conversation, and the story of Janet Denino's cousin that makes the cost of silence impossible to ignore How the mental health stigma is shifting generationally — and how telehealth, AI-assisted tools, and a smarter therapy cadence are changing who actually gets support The billing math behind 280,000 possible care management hours that were built down to 110 — and why that gap isn't just a business problem, it's a human one What it actually takes to build a social services program that works: the right roles, the right ratios, and why getting out to see patients is non-negotiable The system won't fix itself. But the people in it can. This episode shows you how. www.YourHealth.Org

What if the healthcare system your loved one relies on doesn't even know they need help until it's too late — and what would it look like if it did? In this Q1 2026 episode, Jamie Preston sits down with Matt Staub, CEO of Your Health, for a candid and wide-ranging look at how one of the country's largest home-based care providers is navigating the evolving landscape of value-based care, population health, and the human experience at the center of it all. Matt brings his characteristic clarity and heart to a conversation that is equal parts strategy, story, and honest reckoning with what the system still gets wrong. Key topics covered: Why 11% of patients account for 67% of all healthcare spending — and why most of them don't know they're in an ACO The evolution of value-based care: from quality-over-cost to outcomes + patient experience over total costs How Your Health is becoming proactive — not reactive — about falls, readmissions, and high-needs patients The quiet crisis of patient trust: down from 71% in 2020 to just 33% today, and what the correlation means for hospitalizations Real stories: a 79-year-old patient who went from barely existing to living fully — and Matt's own mom, who hasn't fallen since leaving the hospital after her stroke If you work in healthcare, advocate for someone in the system, or simply believe that better is possible — this episode will change the way you see what care can be.

America spends nearly double what the fourth-ranked country spends on healthcare per capita — and still ranks among the worst in outcomes. So what exactly are we paying for? In this episode of the Experiencing Healthcare Podcast, Jamie Preston and Your Health CEO Matt Staub examine what happens when healthcare gets treated like gasoline: something people expect to be available, can't easily compare on quality, and ultimately choose based on price or convenience. When brand and price stop mattering, the only differentiator left is how patients are made to feel — and whether they trust the person across from them enough to actually change. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Matt ranks service above outcomes and access — and the patient story that changed how he thinks about both The "Chick-fil-A problem": how your healthcare experience is now being compared to your best service experience anywhere, not just the clinic down the street What provider burnout really looks like when a clinician closes their notes at 11pm wondering if their patient listened How insurance billing creates distrust that bleeds directly into the patient-provider relationship — and what healthcare organizations can do about it Why the most caring thing a doctor can do sometimes feels like the worst customer service in the room If you've ever felt like a number in a waiting room — or if you've ever been the one trying to help someone who wouldn't listen — this conversation will stay with you.

What if the most powerful person on your care team isn't a nurse, a doctor, or a specialist — but someone showing up at 8:00 AM to check blood pressure, eat lunch with residents, and play vital signs bingo? In this episode, we go deep on the Community Health Worker role: what it is, what it isn't, and why most organizations are dramatically underusing it. Scott pulls no punches on the disconnect between what CHWs are doing and what they should be doing — and why the difference is costing patients their health and workers their bonuses. What you'll hear in this episode: Why the #1 complaint about CHW visits ("you're seeing our patients too much") is actually a communication failure, not a frequency problem — and how to fix it The specific visit types every community health worker should be scheduling: vital signs, medication reconciliation, lab draws, wound care, advanced care plans, and more How Mary White, a CHW in Gainesville, Georgia, goes in with 5 patients on her list and leaves having seen 15 — and what her approach reveals about what this role is really for Why buildings that aren't growing have either the wrong person or not enough people — and how to think through both The full compensation breakdown: base salary, guaranteed bonus, and how the right CHW can earn close to $80,000 a year If you hire, manage, or are a community health worker, this episode will reshape how you think about the role.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the podcast where we explore how one medicine is reshaping health, lifestyle, and the future of obesity care.Ozempic is the brand name for semaglutide, a medicine that mimics a natural hormone called glucagon like peptide one. It slows digestion, helps the brain feel full, and was first used for diabetes before its powerful weight loss effects were recognized, as explained by experts at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.Recently, the World Health Organization issued its first global guideline on these glucagon like peptide one medicines for treating obesity in adults. According to the World Health Organization, long term treatment with these drugs can lead to clinically meaningful weight loss and better metabolic health, but they should almost always be paired with structured changes in diet, physical activity, and regular counseling.The World Health Organization also warns that medication alone will not reverse the obesity crisis. Obesity is now recognized as a chronic disease driven by genetics, environment, poverty, and food systems. That means Ozempic is a tool, not a magic fix.On the policy side, coverage and cost are moving targets. A recent report from Politico described how some state insurance programs in the United States are struggling with the high price of these drugs, even as doctors report patients losing over one hundred pounds and improving conditions like diabetes and sleep apnea. Some states are restricting access to only the most severe cases to control spending.Researchers are also asking how Ozempic affects long term health beyond the scale. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center reports early evidence that glucagon like peptide one drugs may help reduce the risk of certain cancers linked to obesity, and may help some breast cancer patients lose treatment related weight. At the same time, oncologists stress that more data is needed and that decisions must be individualized.Mental health is another frontier. Think Global Health reports that some studies suggest these medicines might reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression as weight and metabolic health improve, while other research raises concerns about worsened mood or rare suicidal thoughts. Because the early clinical trials often excluded people with serious mental health conditions, experts say we still lack clear answers and call for careful monitoring, realistic expectations, and close contact with a qualified clinician.For older adults, the Association of American Medical Colleges notes that Ozempic and related medicines can be effective but may bring more digestive side effects and a risk of muscle loss. Geriatric specialists recommend a cautious approach, starting with low doses, going slow, and combining the medicine with resistance training and adequate protein to protect strength and function.Across all ages, researchers repeat a common theme. The best outcomes come when Ozempic is combined with lifestyle changes: better nutrition, more movement, improved sleep, and support for mental health. The medicine can quiet constant hunger and cravings, but it works best when listeners use that breathing room to build sustainable habits.In every episode of Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, we will bring you the latest science, real world experiences, and expert insights so you can better understand how this class of drugs fits into the bigger picture of health.Thank you for tuning in, and remember to subscribe so you never miss an update on Ozempic and the future of weight loss medicine.This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

As medical advancements continue to shape the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disability and illness, technology is often presented as a path to autonomy. Rebecca Monteleone shows how such technologies contribute to a cruel double bind, forcing disabled people to be accountable for adapting to a world built by and for nondisabled people while dismissing their lived experiences in favor of medical expertise. In the new book The Double Bind of Disability, Monteleone explores anecdotes about prenatal genetic screening, deep brain stimulation, and do-it-yourself artificial pancreas systems, exposing new relationships among disability, authority, knowledge, and responsibility. Monteleone is joined here in conversation with Ashley Shew. Rebecca Monteleone is associate professor of disability and technology at the University of Toledo and author of The Double Bind of Disability: How Medical Technology Shapes Bodily Authority.  Ashley Shew is a professor of science, technology, and society at Virginia Tech and author of Against Technoableism: Rethinking Who Needs Improvement.EPISODE REFERENCES:-Ally Day-“Transmobility: Possibilities in Cyborg (Cripborg) Bodies,” Mallory Kay Nelson, Ashley Shew, and Bethany Stevens / Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience -Jackie Leach Scully-Dana Lewis-Biomedicalization: Technoscience, Health, and Illness in the U.S. / Adele E.

Welcome back to another episode of Ditch the Labcoat! This week, Dr. Mark Bonta is joined once again by the ever-insightful Dr. Dante Morra—innovator, internal medicine specialist, and the driving force behind the Can Health Network. In this wide-ranging conversation, they pull back the curtain on the current state and future of Canadian healthcare, tackling everything from the rise of AI-driven virtual care to the systemic issues clogging up our hospitals.Dr. Morra breaks down the four pillars of healthcare—catastrophic, chronic disease, episodic, and preventative—and reveals why technology and innovation are set to overhaul not only how care is delivered, but who's really in control. Together, they discuss why it's easier to buy alcohol and gamble than it is to book a physical exam, what it takes to nudge a population toward better health, and how Canadian-made solutions like virtual triage and optimized healthcare “front doors” could change the game.But most of all, this episode is about who will drive real change: not the policymakers or administrators, but people—patients, citizens, and entrepreneurs—who are tired of waiting, ready to take control, and brave enough to disrupt the system from the outside in. Whether you work in medicine, depend on it, or just want a preview of where our healthcare is headed, you'll leave with big ideas and plenty of hope for what's possible next. Plug in, listen up, and—as always—question everything.Episode Highlights1. Courage to Lead Change — Courage is essential to make necessary healthcare changes; everyone knows what to do, but few are willing to go first.2. Rise of AI in Care — AI surpasses traditional care in planned prevention, aggregating biomarkers and histories for optimized personal health plans.3. Healthcare's Four Categories — Understanding catastrophic, chronic, episodic, and preventative care clarifies where innovation and resources should be focused.4. Self-Directed Health Solutions — Technology empowers individuals to manage their healthcare directly, sometimes bypassing traditional systems entirely.5. Misaligned Incentives — Payment structures incentivize episodic and acute care over preventive or chronic care management, perpetuating system inefficiencies.6. Public vs Private Innovation — System transformation will likely come from private sector innovators, not within public institutions mired in political and structural inertia.7. Danger of Easy Vices — Society makes harmful behaviors like gambling and alcohol dangerously accessible, contributing significantly to declining population health.8. Canadian Healthcare Renaissance — Canada stands on the brink of a health innovation renaissance, with technology and empowered citizens leading the way.Episode Timestamps 6:10 — AI's Role in Episodic Care 9:32 — Optimizing Healthcare Access with AI 10:25 — Self-Care Revolution in Healthcare 14:51 — Canadian Healthcare Access Challenges 18:37 — Technology's Impact on Business Models 21:31 — Predictive Health Tools: Behavior Impact? 25:47 — "Courageous Leadership Challenges" 28:12 — Disrupted Pay Model in Healthcare 30:41 — Public vs. Private Industry Dynamics 35:53 — Healthcare System's Struggles and Growth 38:36 — "Virtual Hallway Revolutionizing Healthcare" 41:26 — Embracing Disruptive Health Technology 44:17 — Disruption Sparks Hopeful Healthcare ChangeDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.
