There are many reasons why central Ohio is a fertile ground for innovation and why the areas surrounding Columbus are ideal for testing new approaches to consumer behavior. It's a diverse city with five Fortune 500 companies and 19 Fortune 1,000 companies in a wide range of industries, from banking and insurance to fashion. No single industry contributes more than 18% of GDP and together, they bolster a region that's experiencing active and sustainable growth. In addition, Columbus has a relatively low cost of living, temperate climate and demographics that are reflective of the country at large. The bottom line is this well-balanced community creates an environment of low volatility that makes it an ideal place to try new things.These attractive attributes extend to healthcare as well. Central Ohio has a diverse payer market where no one payer holds more than a third of market share. Several leading health systems support the community, including OhioHealth, which is one of the largest. OhioHealth is a faith-based, nonprofit system with 35,000 associates, physicians and volunteers, and a network of 14 hospitals, 200+ ambulatory sites, hospice, home health, medical equipment and other health services spanning 47 Ohio counties.As OhioHealth's Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, Michael Krouse is responsible for the future direction of the organization and ensuring a strategic framework that delivers operational excellence and growth by meeting consumers' needs with a diverse portfolio of services. Michael joined OhioHealth as CIO in 2007 after spending the previous 20+ years in healthcare executive roles at UW Medicine, First Consulting Group, E&Y and Arthur Young in the Pacific Northwest.In this episode of Healthcare is Hard, Keith Figlioli spoke with Michael to explore “the new normal” in healthcare and what the industry will look like at it settles into the post-COVID world. Michael discussed his perspective and predictions on the new normal including:The sweet spot of scale. As a $6 billion health system, OhioHealth is a growth company at its core. But Michael says the path to becoming a $20 billion system is not as urgent as it was a few years ago. He points to health system megamergers and the difficulties those organizations have had driving ROI, and discusses how the market is rewarding systems with greater focus.Lumpy operating margins. While volumes are recovering in many places around the country, margins are still inconsistent for most systems and the rebound is not enough to avoid making tough decisions. With margins that are less than what's required to fund growth and capital for many health systems, Michael foresees the need for major decisions around cost savings and efficiency that will be required for survival.Spinning up new business lines quickly. The healthcare industry is not historically known for quickly or successfully establishing new business lines where it lacks experience. Michael believes this will have to change in the new normal and says one path to success is through partnerships. He discusses examples of OhioHealth's partnerships with ChenMed, Privia and Devoted Health and how they helped deploy new capabilities far more quickly than doing it alone.Inside innovation ecosystems. Michael shares his strong beliefs on the strategic role venture capital and private equity relationships can have helping health systems anticipate market needs and transform in a way that differentiates them. He talks about OhioHealth's approach to strategic investing and business incubation, and how it's always driven by the operational interest of the health system.To hear Keith and Michael talk about these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.

There's a saying, “never let a crisis go to waste.”  The pandemic was horrific in many ways.  One positive change that came about was the lifting of restrictions around the use of telemedicine.  Clinicians could care for patients across state lines, could prescribe opioids without in person visits, could bill at higher rates for telemedicine than previous to the pandemic.  Many patients benefited, not only those isolating due to covid, but also patients in rural areas, patients who are homebound, and many others.  So now that the emergency response has ended, what's to be done?  In this podcast, Joe Rotella, Chief Medical Officer of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, Brook Calton, Palliative Care doc at Massachusetts General Hospital and Medical Director at Devoted Health, and Carly Zapata, Palliative Care doc at UCSF and fellowship director, talk about the importance of maintaining access to telehealth for the good of patients with serious illness.  This DEA is taking 6-months to consider how to move forward vis a vis restrictions and requirements for telehealth in a post-pandemic world.  Now is the time to act, dear listeners!  You can: Write an Op-Ed to your local paper as Carly Zapata and colleagues did.  Start with a story as Carly did in her Op Ed.  Stories trump data. Write to your congressperson. See the AAHPM Legislative Action Center https://www.votervoice.net/AAHPMORG/home Write to the DEA, with guidance from AAHPM's comments to the DEA March 2023.

Why does Rob believe venture is a young person's game? What does Rob know now that he wishes he had known when started in venture? 2. Preparing Docs for a Fundraise: What docs should fund managers have ready before they start the raise? How should they structure their data room? Where do the majority of LPs spend their time, document-wise? What are the single biggest mistakes emerging managers make preparing docs for a raise? 3. Meeting Your First LPs: What is the best way for emerging managers to meet LPs for the first time? Should they send the deck before or after the meeting? What questions should emerging managers ask to qualify LPs in or out of a meeting? What are some clear early signs that a first meeting went well? 4. Closing LPs: The Tips and Tricks: How important is it for a fund to have an anchor? How much of a fund should the anchor be? Are there different qualities of anchor LPs? Should managers ever sell part of their GP or give an LP part of the carry? What can managers do to enforce a sense of urgency to get LPs over the line? What are signs that an LP will not invest in the fund without rejecting you yet? Should emerging managers impose a minimum check size on new LPs?

This week on the Race to Value you will hear from Dr. Neil Wagle, the Chief Medical Officer at Devoted Health. This is a company we have been wanting to profile on the podcast for quite some time! Devoted Health is a healthcare company that designs Medicare Advantage plans for seniors; however, they are so much more than just a MA plan. Devoted Health has built a different model of care that starts with knowing their members on a personal level and earning their trust. By focusing on each member as a person and not as a chart, they are able to provide the best quality care for older Americans through an all-in-one healthcare solution combining the MA plan, access to high quality local providers alongside virtual and in-home care, and full-service guides—with world-class proprietary technology powering it all. This company is a leading innovator in value-based care. Dr. Neil Wagle knows a thing or two about transforming healthcare. He is an internal-medicine physician by training, spent six years at Partners Healthcare (now Mass General Brigham) leading the health system's efforts to improve the quality of care for patients. In 2017, he joined Devoted Health, a $12.7 billion health-insurance startup. As its chief medical officer, he's spearheading the development of a model of care aimed at improving the health of older Americans by getting them the right care at the right time while saving costs for the US healthcare system. In this episode, we discuss clinician burnout and moral injury, post-pandemic recalibration of the healthcare system, virtual care delivery, the benefits of a fully-integrated technology platform, health equity transformation, creating a virtual “Blue Zone”, patient-reported outcome measures, activation of chronically ill patients, and the importance of company culture in delivering relationship-based care. Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 Introduction to Dr. Neil Wagle, the Chief Medical Officer at Devoted Health. 03:45 Dr. Wagle provides his background as a “synthesizer between medical-scientific world and the business world.” 04:15 Inspiration and mentorship from Dr. Tom Lee and being a part of Mass General Brigham's first value-based contract. 04:45 “We'll probably lose $70m in the first year, but we're moving to value-based care because it is the right thing for patients.” 05:45 A chance coffee meeting with Ed Park led to the “ridiculously challenging” quest to build a system that could radically transform healthcare! 07:00 Provider burnout and moral injury is one of the major crises in healthcare (along with rising costs and inadequate care for aging Americans). 08:45 Dr. Wagle on how the pandemic has exacerbated moral injury and why we need to return to the altruistic underpinnings of medicine. 09:30 “The ability for physicians to connect with others has been decimated by overbooked 15-minute visits.” 09:45 How documentation requirements in fee-for-service medicine robs providers of “pajama time” with their families. 10:00 The Great Resignation in healthcare is being driven by the perpetuation of the fee-for-service business model. 10:30 Resolving the three crises of healthcare (i.e. Provider burnout, aging population, and rising healthcare costs) through care delivery transformation. 11:00 The good news in VBC: providers want to practice medicine in this way and patients actually have better outcomes with lower costs! 11:45 “You have to be able to monetize fewer hospitalizations. If you can't, the value-based model of care won't work financially.” 12:30 The emotional fuel of seeing better patient outcomes in VBC drives continual value-based care transformation. 13:00 The new wave of healthcare consumerism from the pandemic is causing a much-needed recalibration of care delivery. 14:00 “COVID exposed cracks in our fee-for-service model…” 15:45 “Value-based care is actually the ideal home for virtual care services because you don't have to worry about over-utilization.” 16:00 Dr.

While the nation continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers — especially physician practice leaders, nurses and staff — report experiencing increased symptoms of stress and burnout, as well as dissatisfaction with their work situations. To help put these trends into context, I recently had the pleasure of speaking with two physicians: • Michael Nochomovitz, MD, chief clinical partnerships officer, Devoted Health, and previously senior vice president and chief clinical integration and network development officer, New York Presbyterian • Jessica Dudley, MD, chief clinical officer, Press Ganey, and former chief medical officer at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, where she was responsible for teaching development and oversight of physician-led efforts to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare.

In the candid discussion that we're sharing with you today, Todd reveals the most important quality he looks for when building a team, how he maintains a strong company culture through expansive growth, and why he's committed to Devoted Health for decades to come.  My conversation with Todd was part of an in-person event on “Transformation and Innovation within Health Care” hosted on March 24th by the Nashville Health Care Council.  Established in 1995, the Council is a premier membership association and has provided a foundation for collaboration in healthcare for nearly 30 years. I want to thank the Nashville Health Care Council for letting us share this event with our listeners.  And special thanks to our event sponsors Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee, Bass Berry & Sims, Cressey & Company, and LifePoint Health, for making this discussion possible.

I'm ethnically Indian with a family from east Africa and a Persian name. I grew up first in Brazil and then moved around various cities in the Midwest before settling in the San Francisco bay area before college at Berkeley. I've always seen money and business as energy to create and serve a future where all beings can thrive and be fulfilled. I love having the backs of amazing humans who are master artisans and builders of this kind of future. In the last decade, I've become increasingly fascinated with the relationship between our inner world and what we manifest in the world around us. Amongst many identities, I am also a three-time entrepreneur and technology start-up investor. We co-founded Uprising to invest in and radically support gifted technology entrepreneurs who see their companies as vehicles to serve the whole. I'm particularly drawn to heart centered, embodied teams with “goosebumpy” missions that not only address big problems and the systems that created them, but who also understand the significance of simultaneously transmuting the stories, culture, and consciousness from which those systems arise. Some of the many real life superheroes we have backed include the teams behind Devoted Health, Long Term Stock Exchange (LTSE), Lyft, Calm, Braintrust, ClassDojo, Virta Health, Good Eggs, Landit, SV Academy, and Change.org.I was also lucky to be a founding board member and funder at Kiva.org where I served for 11 years. The Uprising Crew has also helped catalyze a number of other initiatives including breakthrough treatments for Autism and Type I Diabetes, the Palo Alto Longevity Prize, and funding for several ground breaking non-profits like Watsi.org and CareMessage.

Today on Health in 2 Point 00, we're thinking about changing our name to Health in 2 Billion 00. Devoted Health confirmed its $11 billion valuation, bumping it to $12 billion after you count the additional $1.2 billion coming in. Now onto the other 2 billion in deals, BetterUp raises $300 million in a Series C, bringing their total to $569.8 million for performance coaching and resilience training. Honor is growing fast – it raises $370 million ($300M of that is debt), bringing their total to $625M. Elemy, formerly called Sprout, raises $219 million, for children's behavioral health.

The pandemic has become a goldmine for scammers trying to rip off health insurance and banking information from those desperate for a vaccine or anything relating to COVID-19. In fact your healthcare information is a huge doorway to identity theft. In this episode, Devoted Health benefits advisor, Kent Jacobs, discusses what you need to know about your Medicare, Medicaid and Insurance info, how to keep it safe and what to do if you've been scammed. The FBI is the primary agency for investigating healthcare fraud. So if you've been a victim of healthcare fraud, after you alerted all of the agencies pertaining to your personal information, you might want to give your local field office a call.

Today on Health in 2 Point 00, we cheat a little bit and go overtime. On Episode 188, Jess asks Matthew about MDLive getting acquired by Cigna's Evernorth division, Devoted raising a whopping $380 million, Medisafe getting $30 million in a round led by Sanofi, and January AI raising $8.8 million bringing its total up to $21 million.

The way we pay for healthcare in the US has long been by fee-for-service: per doctor visit, per test, per surgery, per hospital stay. But that system has led to rapidly escalating volumes of services and cost to the system—without actually improving outcomes. What if we shifted everything towards paying for value—and outcomes—instead? In this episode, Todd Park, co-founder and executive chairman of Devoted Health, and formerly Chief Technology Officer and technology advisor for President Barack Obama; a16z General Partner Vijay Pande; and Bio Eats World host Hanne Winarsky—talk all about the megatrend of value-based care, and how it is redefining healthcare itself. Why is now the moment for this massive shift? How do we implement it? What does it mean for doctors and patients, insurers and policymakers? What is tech’s role in making it possible, and what's the business model and incentive for creating value?

We were too lazy to come up with our own healthcare predictions for 2021, so we invited Bob Kocher, MD (Partner, Venrock) onto the show to discuss his Fortune magazine article, “10 Non-COVID Predictions for 2021.” Will Medicare go all-in on virtual care? Will Amazon's pharmacy gain traction? Tune in to find out!About Bob Kocher, MD: Bob Kocher, MD is a Partner at Venrock and focuses on healthcare IT and services investments.

More fundamentally than any other event of the past decade, the COVID-19 crisis has kindled a wholesale re-imagination of how we conceive, deliver, evaluate, and pay for health care. Foremost among these changes is the sudden ubiquity of telehealth, but the pandemic has also unleashed a wave of investment and regulatory innovation not seen perhaps since the launch of the Affordable Care Act.      Few are better poised to unpack these trends than Dr. Bob Kocher, an industry titan who for nearly two decades now has stood at the vanguard of efforts to make healthcare work better, faster, cheaper across this country. Today, Bob is a Partner at venture capital firm Venrock, where he leads healthcare IT and services investments and serves on the Boards of Virta Health, Aledade, Renew Health, Lyra Health as well as Devoted Health, both of which he cofounded. He’s an Adjunct Professor at Stanford’s School of Medicine and a Senior Fellow at USC’s Leonard D. Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics. Before coming to Silicon Valley, Bob played a key role crafting the Affordable Care Act — serving as Special Assistant to President Obama for Healthcare and Economic Policy. Most recently, Bob was tapped by Governor Gavin Newsom to serve on California’s COVID-19 Testing Task Force, which quickly and substantially expanded the state’s testing capacity.    Bob is a brilliant physician, entrepreneur, policy wonk and scientist. His reflections on this moment are not to be missed.   More on Bob’s work, including his reflections and scholarship on health care writ large, can be found on his website.    For more on Civic Rx, visit civic-rx.org.  

As concerns over COVID-19 increased, many physicians have opted to see fewer patients in their offices and expanded their use of telemedicine. However, as practices increase their use of telemedicine, many doctors and patients have expressed concern that the level of care may not be equal to the traditional office visit and that telemedicine may compromise the physician-patient relationship. At the same time, some healthcare leaders describe the problems with telemedicine as growing pains that can be overcome with training and increased familiarity with the technology. In this episode, Dr. Michael Nochomovitz, Chief Clinical Partnerships Officer, Devoted Health, and the former Senior Vice President and Chief Clinical Integration & Network Development Officer, New York Presbyterian; and Dr. Rahul Sharma, Professor and Chairman, Department of Emergency Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine / New York-Presbyterian, New York, discuss their work in advancing the idea of a "medical virtualist" and the skillset needed to effectively deliver telemedicine.

How can founders use their entrepreneurial skills for good?In this first episode of Founders Counsel, we explore this question by examining how five top founders have responded to Covid-19 by launching their entrepreneurial initiatives. Each guest was compelled to step away from their jobs and families to join the fight against this virus. Why did they do this? How did they draw on their backgrounds to create options for others that didn’t exist before? How can you make a difference like this in your own life? Where did they find the courage to “just show up” and help?In this illuminating episode, our guests share their inspiring stories and shine a light on what drives them – whether they are building companies or helping to save lives.

As regulatory battles rage over data privacy and monopoly laws, we often think of Silicon Valley and Washington D.C. as separate worlds. Yet nothing could be farther from the truth. Historically, technologies like silicon chips and the Internet were rooted in huge government investment, leading to America's ascendance as a technological and military superpower. In this episode of Rebuilding Government, I’ll be chatting with DJ Patil—an expert on public-private cooperation on technology. He was former Chief Data Scientist of the U.S., where he pioneered national data initiatives across precision medical care, police transparency, and national security. DJ is currently the CTO of Devoted Health, a healthcare company serving seniors, and he previously built the first Data Science team at LinkedIn. Based on his wide-ranging experience, DJ has a real empathy for the challenges that these different sectors face in using technology for social good. We chat about his pathway to public service, what data ethics can learn from medicine, and advice for college students seeking a high-impact career. *Find us on Twitter @RebuildingGovt and your host @jasminewsun. * Relevant resources: * DJ Patil on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium @dpatil * Precision Medicine Initiative https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/precision-medicine * The 5 Cs of data science https://medium.com/@dpatil/ethics-data-science-ff21d0c29346 * Tuskegee syphilis experiment https://www.cdc.gov/tuskegee/timeline.htm * Henrietta Lacks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Lacks * Nuremburg Code https://history.nih.gov/research/downloads/nuremberg.pdf * The Power by Naomi Alderman Rebuilding Government is a podcast in collaboration with UNIT Innovations (@unitinnovations) and Teske Media (@teskemedia).

SPEAKERS Nancy Lublin CEO and Founder, Crisis Text Line; CEO and Founder, Loris.ai DJ Patil Head of Technology, Devoted Health; Former United States Chief Data Scientist—Moderator This program was recorded in-front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco on May 7th, 2019. ** This Program Contains Explicit Language **

Suicide and mental health are hard subjects—so Crisis Text Line leveraged the power of the data it collects to help their counselors determine the best way to talk about the topics with those in need. The nonprofit, founded in 2013 by CEO Nancy Lublin, has provided a free text-based and human-driven service to support those experiencing mental health stress, gathering data points from more than 75 million text messages sent and maximizing the impact of their information to better train counselors and support their community. Its innovative and data-driven methodology for tackling hard conversations can also be applied to more than the mental health space, including to Lublin's latest venture: Loris.ai. Lublin's entire career has focused on initiatives addressing social issues, and she founded Dress for Success and Do Something prior to Crisis Text Line. With her technology lens on big challenges, she continues to iterate on innovative mechanisms and creative solutions to sticky problems. At INFORUM, she'll be joined in conversation by DJ Patil, head of technology at Devoted Health and former U.S. chief data scientist in the Obama administration, to dig into the power of data to effect change.
