Guest: Brad Panovich, WCNC CharlotteIf you've lived in North Carolina for any length of time, chances are you've turned to one familiar face when the weather turns serious. But being a trusted meteorologist today isn't just about what happens on TV—it's about showing up wherever your audience is, whether that's on-air, online, or in the middle of a rapidly evolving storm. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Brad Panovich, Chief Meteorologist at WCNC Charlotte. For decades, Brad has helped guide North Carolinians through everything from day-to-day forecasts to high-impact events—including more recent storms like Hurricane Helene—building a level of trust that goes far beyond the forecast itself. We'll talk about how his approach to communication has evolved in the age of social media, what it takes to cut through misinformation, and how you balance urgency, clarity, and calm when people are depending on you the most.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Brad Panovich and His Journey02:55 The Evolution of Weather Communication05:54 The Importance of Credentialing in Meteorology08:56 The Role of Trust in Weather Forecasting12:05 Break 112:08 Navigating Social Media as a Meteorologist15:13 Handling Negativity and Criticism in the Digital Age20:13 Understanding Public Perception of Weather Forecasts23:40 Break 224:12 The Role of Social Media in Weather Communication26:28 The Impact of AI on Meteorology30:11 Personal Reflections on the Impact of Meteorology34:26 The Educator's Role in Meteorology ResourcesOhio State University Meteorology Program - https://meteo.osu.edu/UNC Charlotte Weather Communication Course - https://physics.charlotte.edu/ Guest linksBrad Panovich on Twitter - https://twitter.com/WXBradWebsite - https://www.wcnc.com/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@wxbradSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Elevate Care podcast, host Nishan Sivathasan sits down with Terin Stamps, Vice President, Credentialing Solutions at AMN Healthcare, to explore how credentialing—often dismissed as a back-office paperwork function—can become a powerful competitive advantage for health systems. Terin draws on more than 15 years of healthcare operations experience to break down what credentialing actually encompasses, how automation and AI are reshaping the function, and why involving credentialing teams earlier in the contracting process leads to faster onboarding, fewer disruptions, and stronger patient safety outcomes. She also addresses how health systems can build crisis-ready credentialing playbooks and shares her outlook on where the space is headed over the next five years. About Terin Stamps Terin Stamps is the Vice President of Credentialing Solutions at AMN Healthcare, a role she has held for three years.

Send us Fan MailShow notes A physician built a solid, growing independent practice over six years, then got bored with the pace and chased three new ideas at once. None launched. The original practice still lost an estimated $180,000 in revenue degradation over twelve months, not from a bad decision, but from the boring work quietly going undone. This episode is the framework for staying in the room with it. The compounding cost of distraction.  The revenue cycle does not tolerate divided attention. When leadership focus drifts, performance does not collapse, it leaks. A $350K-a-month practice that drifts for six months can lose $84,000 in net collections that never gets recovered. The shiny idea did not cost the money. The distraction did. The patience advantage.  A boring denial-rate fix that recovers $8,000 to $12,000 a month compounds every month forward. A new service line that might add $5,000 a month creates complexity with no compounding. Patient money picks the boring fix every time. The boredom threshold.  James Clear calls boredom the greatest threat to success. When the practice is working, the work stops feeling like progress and starts feeling like maintenance. The reframe: the boring work is not maintenance, it is compounding. The Five Shiny Objects That Cost Practices the Most The Shiny Object   Adding a second location before ops are solid Switching EMR mid-growth Launching a new service line Hiring aggressively before systems exist Chasing a new payer vertical What It Feels Like Growth and scale Modernizing and streamlining Diversification and new revenue Team building and capacity Revenue diversification What It Actually Costs 2x overhead, fragmented leadership, billing gaps at both sites 6 to 12 months of workflow disruption, revenue dip during transition Core service attention drops, existing margin erodes Payroll grows faster than revenue, management overwhelm follows Credentialing lag, cash flow gap, billing team stretched thin Three actions this week Name the hard problem you have been avoiding, and write it down. Calculate what one boring fix is worth over twelve months (a 3% net collection lift on $300K a month is $108,000 a year). Schedule the boring meeting that keeps getting skipped: weekly, named owner, standing agenda. Resources 30-Day Revenue Recovery Plan (primary): eligibility.natrevmd.com/nrc/-30day-revenue-recovery-plan Book a call with Heather: calendly.com/heather-natrevmd Payment Posting Audit Checklist (supporting): eligibility.natrevmd.com/payment-posting-checklist Referenced: Atomic Habits by James Clear.

In creating a maritime renaissance in the U.S., there is a lot of work, discussion, and money going toward not just buying more ships, but also expanding the industrial base and training skilled tradespeople to make that expansion possible. A cornerstone of this should be training more dedicated Merchant Mariners and employing their skills in a better way.Returning to Midrats is Brent D. Sadler to discuss this and related topics. Along with Hollins Randolph and Peter Lynch, he co-authored a report at Heritage, Time to Bring Back the U.S. Maritime Service to Support America's Maritime Revival and a Wartime Economy, that we will use as a basis for our conversation.Brent is Senior Research Fellow for Naval Warfare and Advanced Technology in the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for National Security at The Heritage Foundation, and a retired U.S. Navy Captain.SummaryThis episode features Brent Sadler from the Heritage Foundation discussing the urgent need to revitalize the US maritime industry, focusing on the reactivation of the US Maritime Service, improving merchant marine training, and enhancing logistics for national security and wartime readiness.Chapters00:00: Revitalizing Naval Power and Merchant Marine Support02:34: The Importance of Merchant Mariners06:19: Organizational Challenges in Maritime Operations12:17: Credentialing and Training Issues15:06: The TidalWave Project and Sea Lift Requirements20:03: Leadership and Cultural Shifts in Maritime Services25:10: Immediate Solutions for Maritime Needs30:39: Addressing Vulnerabilities in Maritime Logistics

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Shaju Puthussery and Deepak Ramaswamy, co-founders of Lightspun, to unpack one of dentistry's least glamorous but most costly problems: insurance administration. From credentialing delays and paper claims to fragmented payer workflows and manual back-office bottlenecks, Shaju and Deepak explain why the "plumbing" of dentistry is overdue for a major upgrade.  They share how their experience at Overjet led them to build an AI-first platform designed to streamline credentialing, claims, provider data, and payer-provider communication. The conversation dives into the opportunity cost of waiting 90 to 120 days for a new associate to be credentialed, how Lightspun's partnership with the ADA and CAQH is helping standardize provider data, and why reducing administrative waste could free teams to focus more on patient care, relationships, and practice growth.

In talking to therapy start-ups this year, I've heard a common stumbling block: Credentialing.And, honestly, I was shocked when I dug into the space. It feels like the seemingly boring task of getting credentialed with insurance has turned into what honestly feels like a world of sharks. It seems like there are 3 trends at play:This is truly a bureaucratic headache: You do need to buckle up for some super confusing portals to get credentialed.Credentialing services are all too happy to take your money: They take your personal information because of this barrier-but because the process itself is murky, they often over-promise and under-deliver, without clarity into what is happening.Big companies like Grow Therapy want to present this task as too difficult for an average therapist, so you join their platform (where they do the credentialing for you, but own your contract).In today's episode, we want you to feel empowered to understand credentialing and billing with insurance. We'll help you understand this complex system and how you can navigate it.Honestly, every therapist who works in insurance reimbursement should understand this process (because if you don't do it yourself, that means someone is probably doing it on your behalf). Our goal is for you to leave with a checklist of what to do-and the confidence to do it!See full course details here:https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-courses/therapy-credentialing-and-billing-101See all OT CEU courses here:https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-coursesCheck our our live webinar schedule here:https://otpotential.com/live-ot-ceu-webinarsSupport the show by using the OTPOTENTIAL Medbridge Code:https://otpotential.com/blog/promo-code-for-medbridgeTry 2 free OT Potential courses here:https://otpotential.com/free-ot-ceusSupport the show

In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell speaks with Santosh Sankar about the broken skilled trades pipeline and its impact on America's push to reindustrialize. Santosh traces the problem back to the 1983 “A Nation at Risk” report and subsequent policy shifts that de-emphasized vocational education, fueled stigma around trades, and dismantled employer-school partnerships. He highlights looming shortages in critical industrial roles such as welders, pipefitters, millwrights, industrial electricians, and CNC machinists, noting that most current hiring is just replacing retirees and that training timelines make quick fixes impossible. The conversation explores why these industrial trades are hard to automate, the cultural and structural barriers to attracting new talent, and the urgent need for employer-led, modernized vocational training models—potentially even “vocational training as a service”—to close the skills gap and unlock the promise of America's industrial renaissance. Highlights from their conversation include: Historical Roots of the Skills Trade Pipeline Crisis (0:26) How 1980s Education Policy Undermined Vocational Trades (1:09) Optics, Stigma, and Cultural Bias Against Skilled Trades (5:30) The Big 5 Industrial Trades Driving Reindustrialization (6:28) Aging Workforce, Replacement Demand, and Automation Limits (7:53) Rethinking Vocational Ed Capacity, Equipment, and Instruction (11:30) Role of Employers in Rebuilding Training and Apprenticeships (15:28) Vertically Integrated Training Models and Credentialing (15:50) Investment Case and “Vocational Training as a Service” (19:04) Regional Labor Constraints and Final Thoughts on Opportunity (21:27) Dynamo Ventures is a venture firm backing founders upgrading the physical economy.

On today's episode of the Illumination by Modern Campus podcast, podcast host Shauna Cox was joined by Errin Heyman to discuss the breakdown of today's credentialing system and the need for connected, outcome-driven pathways that align education with workforce value.

Obtaining information from the hospitals where an applicant has practiced, peer references, and residency or fellowship training programs in which an applicant has participated, is a critical part of the credentialing process as it allows a hospital to confirm an applicant's current clinical competence and professionalism. But, unfortunately, what sometimes happens when a hospital reaches out to these third parties and requests information about an applicant's clinical competence and professionalism, they receive very limited information that is not helpful or meaningful, or they get radio silence.  In the latest podcast episode of Crash Course Credentialing, HortySpringer attorneys Lauren Massucci and Moises Tonoc Bonilla explore how to approach the challenges you might face when trying to obtain meaningful information from hospitals and other third parties as part of the credentialing process. 

What New Attendings Need to Know About Credentialing, Peer Review, and Protecting Your Career Guest: Dr. Claudia Emami Starting your first job as an attending physician involves navigating systems that residency rarely teaches you about. In this episode, Dr. Claudia Emami joins the BOSS Business of Surgery Series to explain how hospital credentialing works, how peer review actually functions, and what physicians should understand to protect their careers. Dr. Emami walks through the credentialing process required for physicians who want to practice in hospitals, including verification of training, licensure, malpractice history, and case logs. For surgeons and proceduralists, documenting recent cases is essential, and when case volume is insufficient, hospitals may require proctoring before granting full privileges. A key point discussed in the episode is that having a job contract does not guarantee hospital privileges. Credentialing is a separate process that must be approved by the hospital's credentialing committee and medical staff leadership. The conversation also explores Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) and Focused Professional Practice Evaluation (FPPE)—the systems hospitals use to review complications, outcomes, and performance trends. These processes feed into broader reporting systems, including the National Practitioner Data Bank. Dr. Emami explains how peer review works when complications occur and outlines how concerns may escalate through departmental review, quality committees, and medical staff leadership. In more serious situations, physicians may face additional proctoring, monitoring, or privilege restrictions. The episode also addresses professional realities that new attendings often overlook—such as the importance of building relationships throughout the hospital. Developing strong connections with the chair of surgery, chief medical officer, medical staff office, and OR teams can be critical to navigating complex situations. Finally, Dr. Emami emphasizes professional resilience. Career challenges, complications, and difficult reviews happen to nearly every surgeon at some point. Understanding the systems, participating in peer review, and maintaining perspective can help physicians recover from setbacks and continue to build successful careers. Key Takeaways A signed job contract does not guarantee hospital privileges Surgeons must maintain accurate case logs and documentation Proctoring is common and often required when privileges are new Physicians should understand peer review, OPPE, and FPPE processes Strong professional relationships within the hospital are essential Setbacks in credentialing or peer review are challenging but not career-ending

What if the most powerful clinical tool in healthcare wasn't a drug, a device, or a data platform — but a word? In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie and Matt have a conversation that starts with Disney World germs and ends with something that will change the way you lead your team tomorrow. They unpack the idea of Intentional Positive Reinforcement — not the hollow "great job" you throw over your shoulder in the hallway, but the kind of deliberate, meaningful recognition that creates a ripple effect all the way to the patient's bedside. Matt shares what a dental hygienist taught him about doing things right, why a pair of clicking heels in a nursing home hallway was actually a leadership strategy, and what happens to a healthcare team that only ever hears what they're doing wrong. This is a conversation for the bedside nurse and the C-suite executive. For the credentialing specialist who never sees a patient and the clinical coordinator who sees dozens. Because in healthcare, everyone plays a role in the patient experience — and the way we lead people determines the care those people deliver. If you've ever wondered whether your words are adding to your team or subtracting from them, this episode is your answer.

In this Bright Spots in Healthcare episode, host Eric Glazer sits down with three leaders reshaping one of healthcare's most overlooked — yet mission-critical — functions: provider credentialing. Credentialing is the quiet infrastructure of trust in healthcare. When it's done right, patients get timely access to high-quality care, providers get paid faster, and health plans stay compliant. When it fails, backlogs grow, compliance risk skyrockets, provider satisfaction plummets, and member access suffers. Joining Eric for this discussion: Sandra Clarke, Former CFO & COO, Blue Shield of California Brett Dooies, Head of Product, Verifiable Janan Dave, VP of Operations, Verifiable Together, they explore how AI and automation are transforming credentialing from a slow, manual compliance task into a strategic capability that improves efficiency, trust, and network readiness. In this episode, you'll learn: Why credentialing sits at the intersection of compliance, provider experience, and member access How legacy processes, staffing limits, and messy data create hidden risk, and why backlogs can grow like quicksand Practical ways health plans are applying AI to reduce verification time, speed onboarding, and triage high-risk cases Why the most successful plans treat credentialing as infrastructure, not paperwork Key metrics to track when modernizing credentialing, including turnaround time, backlog clearance, audit readiness, and provider experience What to automate first,  and why humans still play a critical oversight role Bright Spots include: 97% automated verification in seconds across millions of records monthly New staffing and automation models that increase speed without compromising compliance Real-world examples where AI prevented risk exposure and accelerated network growth Leadership lessons in adopting AI responsibly and avoiding the "lift-and-shift" trap   This conversation offers payer leaders a real-world playbook to modernize credentialing and strengthen the foundation of your healthcare organization.

Resources: MIT Sloan "Internet of AI Agents: State of AI in Business 2025" report finds that although over 80 % of organizations have piloted generative AI tools, only around 5 % have achieved meaningful business transformation—a gap dubbed the "GenAI Divide". It highlights that the primary barrier isn't model technology or regulation, but rather the failure of AI systems to integrate deeply into workflows, learn from feedback, and scale beyond the pilot stage. https://mlq.ai/media/quarterly_decks/v0.1_State_of_AI_in_Business_2025_Report.pdf Thank you to our Episode Partner, Verifiable: Verifiable is a credentialing and network monitoring platform built to help healthcare organizations optimize operations with error-free, fast verifications and to stay compliant with ease.

Got questions? Send Ericka a Text!Credentialing versus contracting - these terms are often used interchangeably in dental offices, but as Ericka Aguilar explains in this essential episode, they represent entirely different processes with significant implications for your practice's compliance and financial health.Credentialing is the verification process where insurance companies confirm a provider's qualifications, while contracting is the business agreement that follows, officially making a provider "in-network." Understanding this distinction is just the beginning of navigating the complex landscape of dental insurance billing.The episode delivers a stark warning about one of the most dangerous practices happening in dental offices today: billing under another provider's NPI when that provider didn't perform the treatment. This typically occurs when practices are waiting for a new associate to complete the credentialing process. What many don't realize is that this practice constitutes insurance fraud, violating state and federal regulations. With insurance companies now employing AI and aggressive auditing techniques, the risks of massive recoupments, civil penalties, and even criminal charges have never been higher.Erica also demystifies Locum Tenens arrangements, which provide a legitimate pathway for practices to maintain continuity of care when a provider is temporarily unavailable due to specific circumstances like maternity leave, disability, or death. However, these arrangements come with strict limitations that must be carefully followed to avoid compliance issues.Through real-world examples and practical advice, this episode equips dental professionals with the knowledge to protect their practices while maintaining ethical standards. Whether you're a practice owner, office manager, or dental biller, the insights shared will help you navigate the credentialing process correctly, understand when Locum Tenens is appropriate, and implement documentation practices that keep your practice on the right side of compliance.

What is the right way, if there is one at all, to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) technology into our education system? For Sal Khan, CEO of one of the world's largest nonprofit education technology platforms, the answer is to take a step back and ask: Where can AI best complement current pedagogy? If a problem can be solved by pencil and paper, should we really be using AI instead?Khan joins Bethany and Luigi to discuss his recent book, “Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (And Why That's a Good Thing),” in which he makes the case for why the education sector will not only survive but thrive in the age of AI. He shares his 17-year journey to build and grow his organization, which now provides over 10,000 videos on everything from integral calculus to art history, reaching more than 170 million registered users in over 20 languages, mostly for free. Together, the three talk about how and where AI can enhance the learning process: how AI has shifted Khan's philosophy and approach to pedagogy, how it could democratize educational and economic opportunity, and what this all means for traditional modes of learning and instruction in schools and universities. They also discuss concerns about data ownership, Khan's partnerships with tech companies, and the guardrails he proposes to protect education against the monetization of students' data and the concentration of benefits to privileged children. Ultimately, he makes the case for why teachers aren't going anywhere—and leaves aspiring nonprofit and civic leaders with advice on how to build a successful, mission-driven organization.Read a review of Sal Khan's book on ProMarket, written by Capitalisn't team member Matt Lucky.

As some states roll out veterinary assistant credentialing programs, a critical question emerges: Who's actually overseeing these initiatives, what are their future goals, and are they helping or hurting the profession? In this episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, examine the growing movement to credential veterinary assistants without consistent regulatory oversight, clear practice act integration, or protections for the assistants themselves. Focusing on emerging programs in states like Texas, Ward and Mossor question whether we're building sustainable career pathways or setting assistants up for burnout and backlash. Are financial incentives for third-party training programs taking priority over educational quality and long-term workforce needs? And how do these new assistant titles intersect (or conflict) with existing RVT, LVT, and CVT credentials? This conversation challenges veterinary professionals, educators, and policymakers to consider what genuine credentialing should entail: regulated, inclusive, and grounded in a framework that supports the entire team. Without structure and oversight, well-meaning reforms can deepen division, confuse the public, and erode trust within clinics. If you care about career advancement, team cohesion, and the future of veterinary support staff, this is a conversation you can't afford to ignore.

In this deeply resonant conversation, Dr. Lori M. Nixon- Bethea, PhD, LPC, LMHC, NCC, ACSand I explore what it means to live through—and ultimately transcend—the slow burn of chronic disappointment. We begin by sharing the gulf between the lives we built and the dreams we once held, acknowledging the grief that comes from unmet expectations. Dr. Lori recounts her own journey from frustration and self‑reproach to a place of steadfast peace, grounded in the profound realization that life is co‑authored by God, not solely directed by our own hands.As she reflects on seasons when God felt silent, Dr. Lori offers compassionate wisdom: struggle can be a divine instructor, teaching us patience and attuning us to God's perfect timing rather than our hurried agendas. Together, we shed light on a common but overlooked phenomenon—high‑functioning grief. So many of us soldier on, outwardly composed yet inwardly fractured, deploying church‑speak and religious ritual as shields against our own pain.We unpack the phrase “I don't claim that,” often brandished as spiritual armor to deny reality—whether in physical health, mental well‑being, or relational struggle—and examine the hidden cost of such avoidance. Truthfulness, we agree, is the catalyst that begins genuine transformation. By naming our wounds instead of whitewashing them, we break the cycle of compounding trauma that festers when left unaddressed.Recognizing a gap in support systems, we advocate for expanded mental‑health resources and financial‑literacy programs within the church—initiatives that would not only fortify congregants but also protect pastors from burnout. Our dialogue then turns to gendered experiences of therapy: the unique obstacles men face when their struggles are minimized or dismissed, and the critical need for individual counseling before embarking on couples work. We consider how men and women can better bridge their differing emotional landscapes through open communication and mutual understanding.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation—to be honest about where we are, to lean into the hard truths, and to trust that, in our vulnerability, we begin the work of healing and renewal.About Dr. Lori M.
