Federal regulators sue to block Novant Health's purchase of two Community Health Systems hospitals in North Carolina. Insurers say that the No Surprises Act prevented 10 million surprise bills for patients in the first nine months of 2023. And, North Carolina says it will no longer pay for popular–and costly–weight loss drugs for state employees. That's coming up on today's episode of Gist Healthcare Daily. Hosted on Acast.

This week, we continue our series of conversations with Jarrard practice leaders in an episode focused on Regional, as well as Public and Community health systems. In the podcast, senior vice president James Cervantes lays out the trends he's watching for regional health systems in 2024. Vice president Letitia Fecher offers insight into what matters most for Public and Community health systems moving through the year. Notable here, as well as in our next conversation about National and Academic systems, is the level of overlap in the challenges and opportunities before different types of health systems – and before the unique individual systems and facilities that comprise both groups. That said, the independent status and small geographic footprint of many public and community providers exacerbates the industry-wide headwinds they face and begets distinct challenges. That status also encourages self-investment and focus on internal engagement and support. Key points: Looking inward. In light of labor challenges, regional, public and community health systems alike are reinvesting in their nurses, physicians and employees. The payoff is a team of core caregivers who are there for patients, leadership and the community. Hard decisions. Whether it's the realization that they need to partner with a larger health system or a financial threshold necessitating reductions in force, leaders are addressing pressure to make historic organizational changes while working tirelessly to ensure those changes are as seamless as possible. Relationships remain key. In an era of growing mistrust of healthcare providers, hospitals in both groups are being more intentional about effectively communicating with community members and other constituents, particularly in moments of change. Technology is the best intermediary. It's an ongoing theme: In healthcare, technology's value goes far beyond clinical advancements. Providers can use emergent communications tools, internal- and external-facing, to reach their stakeholders and strengthen those relationships in make-or-break moments.

When fast-food chain Raising Cane's tapped the US capital market this month, it revealed a $7.6 billion fortune held by CEO Todd Graves. Strong demand for the chicken-finger maker's bonds highlights growing investor appetite for risky debt as the US economy appears headed for a soft landing, Bloomberg News reporter Michael Tobin tells Bloomberg senior editor James Crombie in this episode of the Credit Edge podcast. And it shows consumer spending holding up despite inflationary pressures, Tobin says. Also in this episode, Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Mike Holland weighs the outlook for US health care. Some highly-indebted companies like Community Health Systems and Bausch Health are hitting a wall as liquidity dries up, while others like HCA Healthcare are thriving, Holland says.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The longtime Stripers announcer and new Voice of the Braves joins the show. Plus: Gwinnett County has a new fire chief and his appointment is making history for the department. Fred Cephas, who has been Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services' deputy chief since 2020, was appointed by county commissioners to be the new fire chief on Tuesday. Cephas will be the county's first Black fire chief in the department's nearly 52-year history. He will officially become fire chief on April 1. Cephas will replace soon-to-be-former chief Russell Knick, who is leaving the fire department after about five years as chief to take on a new role in the County Administrator's Office. Cephas is a native of Mobile, Alabama, and a U.S. Air Force veteran, having served as a Department of Defense aircraft rescue firefighter. He joined Gwinnett's fire department in 2001. He rose through the department's ranks over the years and served in a variety of capacities. Some of those capacities included strategic planning, accreditation management, operations, and as a licensed polygraphist. He then became deputy chief, making him the second highest ranking member of the fire department, three years ago. Cephas earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in business administration from Shorter University. Last week Georgia Gwinnett College counselors traveled to Collins Hill High School to offer seniors at the school a unique opportunity — an instant decision on admission. Called Instant Decision Day, these events allow college hopefuls to meet with GGC admissions counselors, who evaluate their transcripts and help them fill out GGC application forms. Students who met GPA requirements are provided an instant admissions decision on the spot. Twenty-one students were admitted to GGC at the Collins Hill event, which was held on March 2. GGC has offered more than 50 Instant Decision Day events to schools in Gwinnett County and metro Atlanta since September with more to come, Lisa Boone, GGC's assistant director of admissions. Boone said the program has expanded this year to high schools as far east as Savannah and as far south as Valdosta. The school's future plans include expansion of the Instant Decision Day program to Georgia's border states. With the support of the University System of Georgia, GGC recently established a waiver so that students in states that border the Georgia will pay in-state tuition Piedmont Eastside Medical Center welcomed a new chief executive officer this week. The hospital, which is located in Snellville, announced on Wednesday that Larry Ebert became Eastside's new CEO on Monday. Ebert previously served as CEO at Piedmont Walton Hospital in Monroe for the last five years. He replaces Trent Lind, who had been Eastside's CEO for more than seven years but recently left to join Community Health Systems in Franklin, Tennessee. Ebert has been with the Piedmont system since 2017, when he became the executive director of strategic operations at Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center. He then became Piedmont Walton's CEO in 2018. During his time at Piedmont Athens, Ebert oversaw the planning and execution of strategic efforts, such as the coordination of a master facility plan as well as a key construction and renovation project on the hospital's main campus. And, during his time at Piedmont Walton, Ebert oversaw that hospital's integration into the Piedmont system; worked on the creation of a joint program between the hospital and the nursing program at Athens Technical College's Walton campus; recruited primary care and specialty clinicians; tripled the hospital's medical staff; and launched and expanded new service lines. Ebert earned his bachelor's degree from Tennessee Tech University and his Master of Healthcare Administration from Louisiana State University. He and his wife Jessica are the parents of triplets Gavin, Preston and Abigail. Sixteen Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine students and faculty members exchanged their Christmas holidays for a mission trip to Guatemala where they impacted the lives of almost 1,000 patients. First, second and third year DO students, along with a DO student from the PCOM South Georgia campus, staffed several clinics located near Antigua, some in remote mountainous areas. Donald Penney, MD, the chair of clinical education and a clinical professor of emergency medicine at PCOM Georgia, served as the chief medical officer for the trip arranged through International Medical Relief, a nonprofit mission organization headquartered in Colorado. According to first year DO student Alice Manning, the trip to Guatemala was “an amazing and eye-opening experience.” She explained that each clinic had several stations including triage, community education, health care and dentistry. In the community education area, Manning enjoyed informing patients about proper handwashing techniques and hygiene, along with providing information about diabetes and dentistry. Manning shared that she used many skills learned in medical school including taking patients' histories and vitals and using osteopathic manipulative medicine. She used OMM for neurologic motor exams, upper extremity range of motion tests, special tests for carpal tunnel syndrome, and diagnosing rotator cuff strains. She noted that a highlight of the trip was using a pocket ultrasound so a pregnant woman could see her baby for the first time. During the trip, the students' routine included debriefing sessions each day after clinics to discuss issues related to the day's work. Some of the students used their free day to hike Pacaya, an active volcano. Manning was fascinated to see a local cooking a pizza on top of lava at the volcano's peak. At the Southwest Gwinnett Chamber's First Friday breakfast for March the organization honored Norcross High School's Corbin Blum with its monthly Character Award. The award was created to recognize outstanding students whose attitudes and actions embody the organization's mission, passion, and commitment to excellence and community action. Blum serves as the Council Service Chair on the school's student leadership council and has been selected for several academic honors societies. He participates in karate, ultimate frisbee, band, and golf and serves as a camp counselor during the summers. He looks forward to attending college.

Kevin McGirr is a clinical professor with Community Health Systems at UCSF, which has received a grant from the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World. For decades, Kevin has worked on understanding the relationship between people with mental health, substance use, and tobacco. People who have mental-health conditions smoke at up to five times the rate of others in the population. Although these individuals often want to quit, their success rates are relatively low. People who live with mental-health conditions have substantially higher comorbidities and die 5 to 20 years before other members of the general population. McGirr compiled an extensive body of information applicable to health-care professionals. He devised a three-year observational study that gave people flexibility to choose a preferred harm-reduction method, or they could opt out. Each study participant also received six months of intensive habit-change coaching, which was well received. Enrollment began in January but was quickly sidetracked by the pandemic. McGirr's team are now working on enrolling patients in single-occupancy hotels, methadone clinics, and other venues. Additionally, they have expanded their geography from San Francisco to the whole Bay Area, and they might expand further. Results from the first cohort are expected in August.
David and Suzanne do some wrestling for us in this episode: The push to 'return to normal' after a stretch of chaos. *What could we miss as a people, a nation, a world? *What questions could we be asking of ourselves right now, and one another? *What gems could be squandered if we skip past this pause before the return? Their thoughts will cause you to slow your pace and move ahead with more intention and quite possibly in a different direction. Listening to them share is very centering. And probably something you will want to repeat! Enjoy~ -------------------------------------------------- David Kopacz is a psychiatrist, a painter and an author.

I’m Jeff Tanner, Dean of the Strome College of Business at Old Dominion University and this is a Strome Business Minute. Cincinnati-based Bon Secours Mercy Health continues to acquire Virginia hospitals, buying Petersburg’s 300 bed Southside Regional Medical Center, the 105 bed Southampton Memorial Hospital in Franklin and the 80 bed Southern Virginia Regional Medical Center in Emporia. All three were purchased from Community Health Systems, a Tennessee-based company operating hospitals in 17 states. With the sale, Community Health exits the Virginia market, while Bon Secours now operates forty eight hospitals in seven states and Ireland. A Robert Wood Johnson study found that when consolidation of hospitals concentrates market power, price increases and quality decreases. It’s unclear whether these changes concentrate market power any further but it’s basic economics: Without competition, there is less incentive to provide higher quality care and to maintain lower costs.

I recently spoke with Brooklyn Trumpy on what it’s like to be new to compliance. Trumpy graduated in 2009 with a degree in Operations Management and ended up in compliance five years ago when she took a role at Community Health Systems and worked her way into a compliance role. Trumpy found that being new to compliance was a challenge. She explained how it can be intimidating to learn all of the new rules and regulations and how to piece together the puzzle that is compliance. She initially struggled to make connections and find her tribe within Compliance and it took some time to learn how to stay organized. Trumpy had some expert advice for new compliance professionals that will help them have an easier transition into the world of compliance.

But, as we learn in this interview with Bobby Gibbs, Director of Medical Communications Planning for Community Health Systems, our role as husbands is about so much more.
