Should physical therapists be the only people who own physical therapy clinics?In this episode of PT Breakfast Club, Jimmy McKay and Tony Maritato dig into the business of healthcare, AI documentation, EMR adoption, and what happens when a clinic is built entirely around one clinician.Dave Kittle has the day off, but Jimmy previews part of his upcoming APTA Florida keynote, including a speed round of PTs doing things differently: cowboy PT, snow sports PT, dance PT, and other examples meant to make clinicians ask, “What's my twist?”Then Tony brings up a bigger business question: should PT clinics be owned only by PTs? The conversation challenges the anti-business sentiment that shows up in healthcare. PTs understand patient care, but business people understand business. A strong healthcare business needs both.Jimmy and Tony also talk about AI scribes, Luna Physical Therapy, Hinge Health, Sword, EMRs, power users, clinical education, and why the tool itself is not enough. Adoption depends on whether clinicians actually like the tool, trust it, and know how to use it inside real patient care.The episode closes with a solopreneur clinic question: can you sell your business if the business is really you?Jimmy and Tony break down the difference between buying a job and buying a business, why a customer list may have value but may not transfer, and how a solo clinician could build more valuable assets by teaching their method, creating systems, bringing in an apprentice, or turning their proprietary approach into a product.The takeaway: understand what business you are actually in before you try to scale it, sell it, or protect it.

Real Talk: Eosinophilic Diseases

Co-hosts Ryan Piansky, a patient advocate living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic asthma, and Holly Knotowicz, a speech-language pathologist living with EoE who serves on APFED's Health Science Advisory Council, interview Timothy Buckey, MD, MBE, an allergy and immunology attending physician with a joint faculty position at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is designed to support, not replace, the relationship between listeners and their healthcare providers. Opinions, information, and recommendations shared in this podcast are not a substitute for medical advice. Decisions related to medical care should be made with your healthcare provider. Opinions and views of guests and co-hosts are their own.   Key Takeaways: [00:48] Co-host Ryan Piansky introduces this episode, brought to you thanks to the support of APFED's Education Partners AstraZeneca, GSK, Sanofi, Regeneron, and Takeda.   [1:04] Ryan introduces co-host Holly Knotowicz. Ryan just returned from APFED's 24th Annual EOS Connection Patient Education Conference. It was a wonderful time. Listeners can still check out the resources on demand online.   [1:26] Ryan mentions that a handful of people came up to him at the conference to say how much they appreciate the Real Talk podcast. It was wonderful to hear how impactful the podcast has been for them.   [1:53] Holly introduces today's topic: how parents and caregivers can help children and teens with eosinophilic disorders build the skills and confidence they need to manage their health as they grow and navigate transitions from pediatric to adult care teams.   [2:06] Holly introduces and welcomes today's guest, Dr. Timothy Buckey, an allergist and immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.   [2:14] Dr. Buckey's research interests include eosinophilic esophagitis, food allergy, medical ethics, and improving access to medical care for vulnerable populations.   [2:24] Dr. Buckey thanks Ryan and Holly for having him on the program. He's a long-time listener and is looking forward to the conversation on this important topic.   [2:32] Holly comments on Dr. Buckey working with children and adults. Dr. Buckey says he sees patients of all ages, from a few days old at the Children's Hospital through the end of life at the adult hospital. He loves that there's no patient he cannot see.   [3:10] Dr. Buckey says, in addition to seeing patients as an allergist/immunologist, he is also a medical ethicist or bioethicist. He is trained in medical ethics, and he utilizes that approach in shared decision-making, trying to understand his patients' goals and values for their health, and making a plan that works for them.   [3:31] Holly says her allergist/immunologist at Massachusetts General also sees teens and adults.    [3:53] Dr. Buckey says a special aspect of the relationship he has with his patients is that he has been in a fairly similar position, as someone who has dealt with many different allergic or atopic conditions for his whole life.   [4:08] Dr. Buckey says his conditions started with asthma as a young child, which he still manages, allergic rhinitis, and environmental allergies. He has been on allergy shots. He deals with atopic dermatitis, or eczema. He has seen an allergist/immunologist his whole life. It feels like full circle to be one now.   [4:29] Ryan feels like it's easier from a patient perspective if your physician gets it and can understand what you're going through.   [4:41] Ryan says that eosinophilic disorders generally require lifelong management, especially when diagnosed in children. Over time, a patient may need to transition from being treated by a pediatric care team to an adult care team.   [4:57] Ryan says that Dr. Buckey, through his work with the University of Pennsylvania, provides a lot of support for young adults going through that transition. Ryan asks Dr. Buckey to explain the importance of transition of care.   [5:14] Dr. Buckey breaks down the term into its two words: transition and care.   [5:24] Transition of care is a process in which we are shifting from a pediatric health model, in which a parent or guardian is the primary historian, or person managing the patient's care, to one in which the patient becomes the primary point of contact.   [5:49] Dr. Buckey says that during this process, our overarching goal is for an individual to begin to develop ownership of their health so that they can take care of their medications, schedule appointments, and know their bodies.   [6:05] Dr. Buckey says the second part is care. Not only medical care, but it is a period of life of going through a lot of personal growth. Dr. Buckey's goal is for patients to know themselves and learn to support themselves as independent individuals.   [6:30] Holly appreciates that Dr. Buckey talked about the transition at that age when there are so many things going on with becoming an adult.   [6:40] Holly says when she worked at the Children's Hospital of Colorado, we thought about this a lot.   [7:00] Holly said that when she interacted with patients, she tried to look at them, even if they were little. If they were three or four, she asked them what their favorite foods were.   [7:17] Holly says she was trying, as young as possible, to have them feel that they have some say and control over their health, and they can start developing how to be a historian of their medical journey.   [7:36] Dr. Buckey says every person matures or develops at different times. Having a strict age cutoff may ignore the unique aspects of each person and their history. Dr. Buckey generally begins that conversation in the teenage years through the early 20s.   [8:02] Dr. Buckey says that with some kids, he will introduce the idea earlier than a teenager, based on how much they understand about their health. As they start to switch to adult care, he emphasizes that the transition process is not over at their first adult visit.   [8:24] Dr. Buckey says it takes additional visits for that person to understand themselves, to know how to request a refill of their medication, to know how to make the appointment, and to know how to contact Dr. Buckey if they have questions.    [8:38] Dr. Buckey says it is a continual process, and it doesn't just stop at that first visit with an adult doctor.   [8:45] Holly agrees that people reach maturity at different ages. Holly remembers that when she was in college, she asked her mom to schedule her dentist and doctor appointments.    [9:17] Dr. Buckey says it's overwhelming and it can be quite scary. It takes a team.   [9:30] Holly notes there are age ranges on the Healthcare Transition Timeline Toolkit for what the provider should be doing to help the patient get ready for transition, and what the caregiver and the patient should be doing. She invites listeners to check it out at eoscare.apfed.org.   [9:45] Holly asks about ages when a child would meet alone with their physician for part of the appointment to talk about things they don't want to say in front of their parent.   [10:18] Dr. Buckey says it depends on age and individual factors. He says he has met some very mature 10-year-olds and some not-as-mature 17-year-olds.   [10:38] Dr. Buckey says he understands how it might be nerve-wracking for parents to ask them to step out, but it is an important part of that person starting to know their own body.   [10:50] Dr. Buckey says if he's seeing an individual with asthma, he will have the parents step out briefly from the clinic room so he can have a conversation about possible triggers they may not be comfortable talking to their parents about, such as vaping or cigarette use, and if they have tried them or friends have tried them.   [11:20] Dr. Buckey says they will discuss that, and that's not something they always feel comfortable sharing with their parents because they feel like they may be disappointing them. The doctor needs to know it to keep them healthy.   [11:44] Holly says in her practice, a lot of teenagers will ask to meet with her if they have IgE-mediated food allergies on top of eosinophilic-related disease.   [11:51] They want to know if it's safe to kiss a person if they've eaten this or what to do to protect themselves. If they get this symptom, what should they do? They feel comfortable asking Holly. She's trying to coach them to feel confident in their bodies.   [12:22] Ryan comments that he's gone through the transition of care process relatively recently. The conversation has touched on so many things he remembers from the last 10 years of trying to transition.   [12:28] Even before that, at eight or nine, when the doctor asked what medications Ryan was on, his mother looked at him and said, You should know this; you take them every day. What medications are you on?   [12:43] Ryan says that was super helpful to him, as a young patient, that his parents supported him in making sure he was aware of his health, his treatment options, and was able to guide his own medical appointments, with supervision.   [12:57] Ryan had had no idea that he was choking on food or taking extra time to chew. It felt normal, so it was helpful to have a caregiver in the office. His caregiver would say it takes him half an hour to have a handful of crackers. That should not be happening.   [13:20] Ryan asked about caregivers helping with appointment management and prescription management. Until recently, Ryan's parents helped him.    [13:50] Ryan says, even into your 20s, that transition process is still happening. Ryan asks Dr. Buckey for advice on teens and young adults making their own appointments and dealing with healthcare systems.   [14:04] Dr. Buckey says it's difficult to navigate our healthcare system. There are questions about insurance and what is in-network vs. out-of-network. How do you get prescriptions filled? What's covered? Cost? So it's complicated.   [14:21] Dr. Buckey emphasizes that when we're talking about this transition process, sometimes a part can get misconstrued: that we don't want parents or caregivers involved. We do.   [14:35] Dr. Buckey says his goal is for people to have the community, however they define that, to still be a part of their healthcare. What he is aiming for with this transition is that the individual starts to take control of their own health.   [14:50] If making appointments is something they still need some help from their parents, that is them recognizing what they need. [14:57] If they want to come to the visit but have Mom or Dad or their significant other on the phone, because that is the support that they need, then absolutely do that.    [15:08] Dr. Buckey says, as we are generally switching over, at 18 into our early 20s, recognizing the support you need is an important part of knowing your own body.   [15:20] Holly says that's an important stage, and she got there later. She needed help when she was younger; then, in her teens, she said, "No, I've got it." Now, in her 40s, she would like some help again.   [15:37] Holly says it's OK to ask for help when you're feeling overwhelmed, and you can't navigate all these chronic diseases on your own.   [15:42] Ryan says this is a topic we're both passionate about. At APFED, we see younger patients stop seeing their care team when they get to their college years.   [15:54] Ryan says part of it is they get busy and are not able to engage with the patient advocacy community as much, and part of it is they drop out of care. It's important to have caregivers or your community to support you through that process.   [16:07] Ryan says, whatever it takes to stay in care and make sure you're healthy is super important.   [16:14] Ryan brings up legal age cutoffs. In his 20s, he has access to his medical records; his parents don't. He still wants their take on some stuff. After he gets an endoscopy, he pulls up MyChart to show his parents his results.   [16:38] Dr. Buckey says once we turn 18, we are legally adults. At that point, the patient is the owner of their health and their information. They have to provide access to their parents to be able to see it. That can be done in several different ways.   [16:55] If you have an electronic health record, sometimes you can add a proxy, or you can just pull up the results and choose to show your parents.   [17:05] Dr. Buckey says if he is seeing an 18-, 19-, or 20-year-old at the Children's Hospital, he will tell them that once they turn 18, he only communicates results to them.   [17:16] Of course, they can have their parents, caregiver, or significant other present. That is their choice to invite them into that conversation. That is very helpful for many people.   [17:30] Dr. Buckey is a proxy for his parents. Holly is also a proxy for her parents.   [17:41] Holly says that having somebody who is in your corner to talk about your results with and talk about the next stages of treatment is always important because it can be overwhelming.   [17:51] Dr. Buckey gives kudos to pediatric providers. They are so wonderful, and they build such a great relationship that it makes it hard for us to want to leave.   [18:03] When Dr. Buckey was at the point of applying to medical school, his pediatrician told him they needed to have him see an adult doctor. He was reluctant to transition. His pediatrician inspired Dr. Buckey to go into medicine.   [18:25] Ryan says it can be a hard transition, with so much else going on that you want to stay in that familiar environment.   [18:31] Ryan shares how he recently dealt with transitioning insurance plans.   [18:55] Dr. Buckey says the general rule is that you can stay on your parents' health insurance until you are 26. There are caveats for individual persons and individual insurance plans.   [19:05] Some people start working and may get health insurance through their job, so you may have your own health insurance at 18 and no longer be on your parents' insurance.   [19:16] When you're 16 or 17, it's an important time to talk to your parents, or whoever's insurance you are on, about what's going to happen when you turn 18.   [19:26] Ryan says it's specific to each medical plan. He says when he went to college, he was offered a student health insurance plan, but his specialty medications, like biologics, were not covered, only hospitalizations.   [20:00] Ryan says it's always good to double-check what your plan options are and what those plans cover, to make sure that you're able to maintain the care you need.   [20:12] Holly says that something really helpful is to sit down with the family and help them identify an adult care team that will fit them best as they transition.   [20:33] Dr. Buckey says sitting down and having that conversation is an important part of the visit. Talk to patients about where they will live. If you're living away at college or moving away for a job, what geographic area are you moving to?   [20:53] If you're going to be on a different coast or city, do you want to switch your care over to that area? Or do you want to keep your care in the area where your parents live and come back during your breaks and see your physician?   [21:09] Dr. Buckey says it's also important to have a local provider to go to if something comes up. Talk to your pediatric provider about whether they know adult clinicians who care for the condition that you have in the area where you will be living.   [21:30] Dr. Buckey says another important thing to think about is,  when we are in pediatric care, we are often follow-up or return patients. Visits may be of a different duration. Sometimes it's easier to schedule a follow-up visit than a new patient visit.   [21:48] Planning that new patient visit in your new area, sometimes weeks or months ahead, is an important part of this transition process to ensure that there are no gaps in the care you're going to be having.   [22:08] Holly mentions the APFED Specialist Finder on the APFED website. It's a tool for when you are not part of a multidisciplinary setting or wherever you're going, no one knows who they would recommend in that part of the country.   [22:25] There are a lot of good people listed on the APFED Specialist Finder if you are going to be moving somewhere else or getting your care in another place. Dr. Buckey proudly shared that he is on that Specialist Finder. So is Holly.   [22:51] Ryan recently moved to California, and he is trying to find care teams there that specialize in EoE.   [23:12] Ryan asks if patients transitioning to a new doctor typically need a referral from their existing physician, or do you chat with your insurance company first to help find new care teams?   [23:25] Dr. Buckey says some insurance policies do require a referral for each visit you are going to have with your provider. For many policies, you can look online to see who is in-network vs. out-of-network.   [23:52] Sometimes there are different costs to see someone who is in-network vs. out-of-network. The differences can be dramatic. Discuss it with your physician or clinician, but also with your insurance company.   [24:13] Dr. Buckey says make sure there's no lapse in care. We don't want someone to go without their medication. If you're no longer seeing your pediatric provider, make plans to see an adult provider who can continue your prescriptions.   [24:45] Ryan says we see a lot of patients who have an EGID and also other conditions. We see a lot of comorbidities within our community. We have multiple things going on, which can make this transition process especially complicated.   [25:15] Dr. Buckey says many people are experiencing different things and may need to see more than one clinician. They probably also have a primary care doctor. They are going to have to switch from each of those clinicians to an adult provider.   [25:38] That transition takes time and effort. It can sometimes be a long wait. Beginning that process early will only set you up for success. Dr. Buckey says different health systems will accept different insurances.   [26:01] Dr. Buckey says sometimes for specialty medicines, when you switch health systems, the specialty medication may be provided by a different specialty pharmacy than it was when you were seeing a pediatric healthcare team.   [26:13] How you schedule appointments, how you speak to someone if you're having new symptoms, all changes as you're switching to adult care. Dr. Buckey says because this is complicated, we do worry that sometimes things can get lost during the transition.   [26:37] Planning will only set you up for success, so that nothing gets missed in the switchover process; you have no lapse in medications or procedures that you need, and you can continue to see the clinicians you need to keep you healthy for your best life.   [27:03] Holly has learned from her healthcare and working in different hospitals to ask, before picking a specialist, what electronic medical records (EMR) the practice uses. Some can communicate with each other, and it makes the transition smoother.   [27:25] Holly says some places have EMRs that don't communicate with other places, and that makes sharing information tricky. Holly has experience dealing with EMRs that do not talk to each other at all.   [28:05] Dr. Buckey says if you use an EMR that communicates with others, your care can easily be accessed at different institutions. Dr. Buckey explains how that helps make the transition smooth if transferring to adult care or switching healthcare systems.   [28:56] Dr. Buckey says things you need for a helpful transition are to know your medical history, your diagnoses and how they were made, your current medications and dosing, and medications or therapies you tried before that weren't successful for you.   [29:31] Dr. Buckey says, as we approach the era of precision medicine where we are treating each person in a different way, knowing what did or did not work for you is so helpful for your clinician so they can continue to help you feel good.   [29:49] Holly suggests a role-play. For example, if she's going to see Dr. Buckey with her records from Maine, which do not communicate with his EMR. What should she physically bring to the visit?   [30:23] Dr. Buckey says to know what health conditions she is being treated for. In Holly's case, they will talk about asthma and EoE.   [30:33] Dr. Buckey would like to know if Holly has ever been hospitalized for asthma, what inhalers she takes, what inhalers she tried before, and if she is on any biologic medicines, the doses and the frequency, and what she tried in the past.   [30:53] Dr. Buckey would ask if she's ever had breathing tests, called spirometry or pulmonary function tests.   [30:58] Having paper copies is wonderful. You can bring them in, and he will review them at the visit. Dr. Buckey always appreciates it when patients send them to him ahead of time, so he can review them and prepare for a successful first visit for both of them.   [31:18] Dr. Buckey says if we're talking about EoE, he will ask when the diagnosis was made, what symptoms led her or her parents to do that first endoscopy or see an allergist, immunologist, or gastroenterologist, when the most recent endoscopy was, and what medications she was on when she had her different endoscopies.   [31:40] Dr. Buckey says usually clinicians are keeping track of this, so Holly could ask them for copies of procedures she has had, the last two or three office visits, which are usually pretty comprehensive, and a list of any medications Holly takes.   [32:00] Holly appreciates having the ability to send paper records in advance. When Holly sets an appointment, she will fax Dr. Buckey some of her tests and important facts to look at before her appointment.   [32:20] Holly says some places won't look at the reports in advance, so she brings a bullet list with her of all the things Dr. Buckey listed for them to look at when she checks in to the appointment.   [32:39] Dr. Buckey responds that healthcare is very busy and some clinicians don't have the time to look at reports ahead of the visit, but can take five or ten minutes to look at them at the start of the visit to be successful and have a comprehensive visit.   [32:59] Ryan appreciates Holly's point to bring a bulleted list to the visit. Ryan is grateful that his parents kept his records organized throughout his life. For any caregivers listening, set your patients up for success by keeping track of these things over time.   [33:24] Ryan has a one-page summary he gives to all new providers of all his hospitalizations over the last 20 years, the medications he has been on, with date ranges, his diagnoses with dates, and different procedures and endoscopies.   [33:46] Ryan says that one-page summary is in 6-point font to squish it down to one page. It's helpful to have all that information organized together.   [33:55] Ryan invites caregivers: If you have a young patient and you're starting to think about the transition process, start keeping track of all that if you haven't before.   [34:03] Dr. Buckey says our health can be complicated. We can have periods when we're feeling great and periods when we're having more symptoms. Having it written down is an easy way to keep track so things don't get forgotten or lost.   [34:22] Dr. Buckey often says he appreciates when patients come in with that sort of list of their history because it shows how invested you are in your health and keeping yourself healthy. It's a wonderful way that you can be proactive.   [34:40] Ryan says it can feel like a big undertaking if you start now and you're in your 20s. Whenever you can start keeping track of how you're feeling and why, what treatment and symptoms you're having, it's good to have more information than less.   [34:58] Dr. Buckey says there's never a period when it's too late. If you are in your 30s or 40s and just starting out, it's very helpful. The provider can prompt you with questions that will help you recall things you had in the past and add them to the document.   [35:21] Ryan says it's a very collaborative process. Discuss it with your clinician, who may point out symptoms you should note.   [35:40] Ryan asks, when you are transitioning from pediatric to adult care, is it typical for an adult care provider to call a pediatric care provider with questions? Dr. Buckey says in his system, doctors have those conversations, which is a great asset to patients.   [36:33] Dr. Buckey says, for example, if I were not their pediatric allergist, but I would become their adult allergist, I would reach out to their pediatric allergist and ask details about their history. I would also reach out to their dermatologist and gastroenterologist.   [36:59] It's helpful to ask each other questions, know things to look out for, or things in a person's history that might be helpful as therapies and medications continue to advance that might be a good fit. It helps us to have a good comprehensive plan in place.   [37:26] Dr. Buckey says talking to each other helps to provide good longitudinal care.    [37:39] Ryan asks about having procedures and allergy testing in a pediatric setting and switching to a new provider. Do adult providers typically want to repeat testing?   [38:04] Dr. Buckey says it will depend on each person, when they were performed, and what was performed. If Dr. Buckey is seeing someone for food allergies, was skin or blood testing done last year or 10 or 20 years ago? Last year is pretty current. If it was 20 years ago and you're 22, your body is very different from when you were two.   [38:40] Dr. Buckey says if you have asthma and you had a breathing test two weeks ago, that's very recent. If you have not had a breathing test done in 10 years, I probably would repeat it on your first or second visit.   [38:56] Dr. Buckey says, for endoscopies, if you have EoE of another EGID, it would depend on timing. Was this done recently or in the remote past? Was it done on the current regimen you are on? Was it done on a different regimen?   [39:14] Dr. Buckey says I'm going to ask you if you're having any changes in symptoms recently. If anything has changed how you're feeling, it's probably going to prompt me to do a new set of testing and not just rely on the ones you had before.   [39:31] Dr. Buckey says, if you could bring the previous tests to me, I can compare. I can see what your endoscopy looks like now vs. two years ago. It's helpful to have that baseline to compare to.   [39:48] Dr. Buckey adds that knowing how you're feeling, or what's been done before, or your medical history, helps clinicians to take care of you as best we can.   [40:15] Holly says this is such a needed conversation. It will be helpful for our listeners, both practicing physicians and patients.   [40:37] Holly asks what advice Dr. Buckey gives for navigating challenges during the transition of care.   [40:51] Dr. Buckey says for every new EoE patient visit, he shares a link to the APFED website because there are such wonderful resources and references there. He explains to them what APFED is, and he provides resources to other websites or research that he thinks is helpful for them, depending on what each person is looking for.   [41:31] Talking with your doctor about what you are looking for is very helpful.   [41:38] In terms of the transition process, it's an exciting period. We're often going through a lot of big life changes. It could be our first time living away from our parents, having a job, or going to college.   [42:05] Know your own health. Learn about your body. We are the best advocates for ourselves. Only you know what you are feeling. Only you can tell your doctor what you're feeling. Taking ownership of your health will set you up for success for a healthy, long life, achieving your goals. Holly says that sums it up beautifully.    [42:40] Holly says for listeners who are feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or want to find out more about the transition, eoscare.apfed.org is a great site that helps you navigate healthcare for eosinophilic conditions. It also has a tab for building a care team.   [43:05] Ryan says it's great when the guest plugs APFED resources!

Will sat down with Minal and Brijraj from Spry live at APTA CSM to talk about the part of the physical therapy industry most clinicians never see: the technology quietly reshaping how clinics run.Brijraj was the CTO of Ola, the ride-share company often called the Uber of India, at its $6 billion peak. He left that world to build Spry because the same problem kept showing up: people need to move, and mobility gives them purpose. Minal treated patients for 15 years in outpatient ortho before she and her husband moved to Portugal. She wasn't looking for a new job. Spry found her on LinkedIn, and three years later she's the clinical voice inside a tech company, pushing back when the product team drifts too far from what actually happens on a clinic floor.The conversation gets into the real tension of building healthcare technology: a founder who thinks in outcomes and a clinician who thinks in patients, and what happens when those two things pull in different directions. They talk through Spry's insurance verification engine (95% accurate, down to the NPI level), the AI agent that now handles prior authorization and removes 80% of the manual work behind it, and why EMRs were never supposed to become billing tools in the first place.In this episode:Why Brijraj left a $6 billion ride-share company to build an EMR for physical therapistsThe difference between "work" and "toil," and why toil is what's driving burnout in PTHow Spry's insurance verification hits 95% accuracy at the NPI levelInside the AI agent that cuts prior authorization work by 80%Why most EMRs turned into billing tools when they were built for interoperabilityWhat's next for Spry: multi-specialty workflows, waitlist agents, and clinical decision supportMinal and Brijraj also get into what's next: a shared workflow for multi-specialty clinics where PT, OT, speech, and MD care actually talk to each other, an agent for canceling and waitlist management, and a clinical decision support tool built specifically for physical therapy.Follow the Will Power Podcast for more conversations with the people building the future of physical therapy. Connect with Spry: www.sprypt.com Send us Fan MailRockstars specialize in helping support or replace all non-clinical roles.Learn how a Rockstar can help scale your physical therapy practice.Subscribe here to our completely free Stress-Free PT Newsletter for your weekly dose of joy.

This episode of PT Breakfast Club starts with a simple question:What should an EMR actually do?Tony Maritato and Jimmy McKay discuss the divide between the clinical and administrative sides of EMRs, why AI should be more than ambient documentation, and how the future of physical therapy technology should make clinicians better instead of turning them into data-entry horses with name badges.Jimmy introduces the idea of the centaur vs reverse centaur: good technology combines human reasoning with machine horsepower. Bad technology makes the human serve the machine.From there, the conversation expands into wearable data, RTM, patient apps, Peloton, video games, hospitality, software, and why PT may need to steal ideas from outside healthcare to build something patients and clinicians actually want to use.The crew also talks about Sean Pastuch and Active Life, the space between physical therapy and fitness, trainers “stepping on toes,” UnitedHealthcare reimbursement, the reality of $60 visits, price anchoring, and why Dick's Sporting Goods may have a better patient engagement lesson than most healthcare conferences.The final message:Understand what game you're playing.In This EpisodeWhat EMRs should do in an AI worldWhy clinical and administrative workflows are two sides of the same coinThe “centaur vs reverse centaur” model for AI and cliniciansWhy wearable data needs synthesis, not just captureWhy RTM often feels like homeworkWhat PT can learn from video games, Peloton, software, and hotelsWhy Active Life found the space between PT and fitnessScope creep, trainers, and PT defensivenessThe UnitedHealthcare $60 visit problemWhy some clinics can make low reimbursement work and others can'tPrice anchoring and the PACE BIKES shoe exampleWhat clinics can learn from Dick's Sporting GoodsWhy attention leads to trust and trust leads to actionPull Quotes“The EMR should work for me.

I Don't Care with Kevin Stevenson
Leading with Purpose: Dr. David Foster on Faith, Healthcare Leadership, and Physician Collaboration

I Don't Care with Kevin Stevenson

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 3, 2026 29:26


Modern healthcare is caught between extraordinary clinical possibility and an increasingly strained delivery system: patients have more treatment options, data and information than ever, while hospitals and physician networks must coordinate care amid workforce pressure, rising complexity and limited tolerance for waste. That pressure is only expected to grow, with the Association of American Medical Colleges warning that the U.S. physician shortfall could climb as high as 86,000 by 2036, underscoring why better care now depends not only on medical innovation, but on whether clinicians, administrators and networks can build enough trust to make hard decisions together.How can healthcare leaders move beyond transactional relationships and build the trust needed for physicians and administrators to make better decisions together — for their networks, their practices and the patients they serve?On I Don't Care, host Dr. Kevin Stevenson speaks with Dr. David Foster, Founder and Principal of Clinical Network Collaborative, about leading with purpose across medicine, administration and faith-based healthcare. Their conversation explores Foster's decades of clinical and executive experience, the role of mission in leadership, the need to unify the physician voice, and why clinical integration may be one of healthcare's most urgent priorities.What you'll learn...Physician alignment starts with listening, but it cannot stop there. Foster argues that physicians often feel unheard, while administrators are actively seeking clearer clinical input. The opportunity, he says, is to move from a “cacophony” of individual complaints to a unified physician voice that can help leaders set priorities.Collaboration is becoming a survival skill in a constrained healthcare environment. Foster emphasizes that practices, hospitals, payers and health systems all operate within networks. When resources are limited, clinicians and administrators must work together to decide what services to invest in, what duplication to reduce and how to keep patient care as the shared North Star.Healthcare leaders should stop fighting the tools and start improving the system. Asked what leaders spend too much time worrying about, Foster points to the electronic medical record. His view: EMRs are not going away, so leaders should focus less on resisting them and more on optimizing them to support better practice, workflow and patient care.Dr. David Foster, MD, MBA, FAAFP, is a physician executive and healthcare strategist with more than 30 years of experience spanning clinical practice, medical group leadership, governance, clinical integration and system-level transformation. He founded Clinical Network Collaborative to help clinicians, administrators, health system leaders and payers strengthen network performance through clearer dialogue, physician engagement and patient-first alignment. Previously, he held senior leadership roles at CommonSpirit Health, CHI St. Vincent, CHRISTUS Health and CHRISTUS Spohn Health System, where he led multi-state physician enterprise operations, grew provider networks, advanced value-based care, improved quality and access, and built governance structures that elevated the clinical voice in organizational decision-making.

Everyone said radiology would be the first specialty replaced by AI. Years later there are more radiologists than ever. So what is actually happening, and what should physicians do about it right now? In this episode I break down why the older generation of doctors is fighting AI the same way they fought EMRs, why that resistance costs you, and what parts of the job are genuinely at risk.We break your day down into the nine tasks that actually make up being a physician, look at which ones AI can already do well, and talk through what survives: judgment, presence, and the ability to translate medicine into language patients understand. There's also the part nobody says out loud, which is that medicine in the Western world is a business, and AI capable physicians are going to get hired over ones who refuse to learn. This is for premeds, med students, residents and practicing physicians who want a practical answer instead of fear.0:00 Radiology Was Supposed To Be Replaced1:21 What I Actually Know About AI In Medicine3:02 Your Job Broken Down Into Nine Tasks7:54 Why Clinics Will Hire AI Capable Doctors9:47 Judgment Is What Separates You12:00 Do Not Outsource Your Thinking13:49 People Skills And Taking OwnershipFollow Along:

Mark Larkin, Founder and CEO of Vitaccess, leverages real-world patient data captured through mobile devices and wearables, combined with EMRs, claims data, and registries, to generate insights beyond the scope of traditional clinical trials. The company maintains proprietary disease registries, notably in myasthenia gravis, enabling researchers to compare treatment efficacy, side effects, and patient adherence to therapies in their daily lives. By linking diverse data sources and identifying comorbidities, the platform informs drug development, regulatory decisions, and the personalization of treatment matching. Mark explains, "Our mission is about patient-centric, science-driven research. That's how we do real-world research. We think that's a powerful way to combine scientific rigor with putting the patient at the heart of what we do. People are probably familiar with the idea that real-world data and real-world evidence are complementary to clinical trials. They don't have the same levels of scrutiny or the same designs, but nonetheless, if we do it properly, we should make it as rigorous as possible so the data can be used by many different audiences. Putting the patient at the heart of our designs means we can be in the best position to quantify the patient experience. That's really what we do, perhaps in the simplest terms."   "Well, I'd say that real-world data is a very broad church. There's lots of different types of data. Where I think you are referring to is data generated directly from patients, the patient-reported data. And I'll come back to that in a second, but it also includes a wide range of other data types and sources. So it could be electronic medical records. In the United States, very commonly it's claims data.

When your hospital decides how to use AI, will you be in the room or will you be handed whatever someone else picked? Physicians have done this before, letting insurance and then EMRs reshape medicine before they reacted, and AI is the next force they cannot afford to ignore. Augusta Uwah is a hospitalist, physician advisor, and founder and CEO of ClinEfficiency Pro, where she builds AI tools for hospitals and revenue cycle management. This episode is based on her article "Why physician-led AI adoption is essential for health care," published on KevinMD. You will hear why doctors who stay out risk becoming vulnerable to vendors and sidelined in their own field. You will hear the real difference between casually using ChatGPT and using AI responsibly. And you will hear where to start, from securing your ChatGPT to evaluating vendors, and why being in the room is the difference between leading AI and being handed it.

A good research idea is not always a good research question. Bruno Hochhegger, MD, PhD, speaks with host Amit Gupta, MD, about choosing research questions that are clinically relevant, feasible, and worth pursuing in real-world settings. Listen to their discussion in episode 1 of The Early Career Researcher's Playbook, an AJR Podcast Series. Full article: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJR.26.35586 *Key Takeaways Defining Clinical Relevance: A strong research question must answer a direct patient management issue, such as determining if a nodule is benign or malignant. The Feasibility and Sustainability Matrix: Moving from simple case reports to professional science requires navigating EMRs, securing IRB authorizations, and finding reliable grant funding. The AI Implementation Trap: While building artificial intelligence models on GitHub has become more accessible, adequately validating these tools for real-world clinical practice remains a massive, frequently underestimated hurdle. Multidisciplinary Research Networks: True feasibility requires nonmedical input; successful projects demand early feedback from IT departments, technologists, and referring surgeons to ensure workflows survive reality. *Key Moments 00:00 Intro and Welcome 01:18 The Importance of Small Steps: Lessons from a Failed MRI Lung Cancer Screening Trial. 04:30 Defining Clinical Relevance and the Crucial Role of the Physician-Researcher. 07:47 Assessing Feasibility: Navigating EMRs, IRB Approvals, and Data Access. 08:45 Research Sustainability: Securing Grants and Transitioning from Voluntary to Professional Science. 10:50 The AI Feasibility Trap: Why Validating Models is Harder Than Coding on GitHub. 16:08 Identifying the Key Indication: Solving Direct Patient Management Questions. 21:51 Beyond Mentorship: Building a Network Across IT, Technologists, and Referring Clinicians. 28:51 Establishing Niche Expertise: Strategic Advice for Radiology Residents and Fellows Follow AJR on Social Media LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/ajr-radiology/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfFAYezkLMxJGMgIJLN0Dpg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajr_radiology/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ajr_radiology X: https://x.com/AJR_Radiology BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/ajrradiology.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.com/@ajr_radiology *These portions of the page were generated using artificial intelligence (Google Gemini) and then reviewed for accuracy.

Daniele De Mari, Founder and CEO of Neurogram, points out the significant problem of non-standardized data formats in EEG (electroencephalography), compared to the universal standard used in radiology.  Neurogram has developed a hardware-agnostic, cloud-based solution that standardizes EEG data from various manufacturers, integrates with EMRs, significantly improves clinical workflows, and is accessible from any computer. With improved data security and the ability to analyze large datasets, this platform can support advances in biomarker development for neurological conditions and stimulate more clinical research and collaboration.  Daniele explains, "So the problem is not 100% on medical exams. It happens exclusively on EEG, and that makes it worse, because it doesn't happen everywhere, it's actually worse for EEG scans. So, knowing a parallel between EEG scans and radiology, every data point in radiology is DICON. So DICON is a universal file format that is standardized. I can send you a DICON over email or to your phone, WhatsApp, and you can open it on your phone. That's how universal it is. That's how open the file type is. It's compatible with EMRs. And so that's awesome. And that's one of the reasons why radiology grows so much. And EEG, it's an electroencephalogram. We have, I would say, 15 different brands around the world. In Brazil, we have seven. In the US, we have top like four or five companies, and they all export data in a different file format. So brand A has its own format, brand B has its own format, brand C, and so forth." "So we managed to be compatible with most of the brands out there, most of the EEG brands out there. We have a solution that is 100% agnostic and 100% in the cloud, which means we can read from multiple EEG devices out there. If you record in brand A, and I'm not going to say the brands in the podcast, but if you require data from brand A, brand B, brand C, all of it gets standardized into one unified system. So the physician no longer has to log into multiple devices in multiple systems, and it's all in one place. As I said, it's 100% in the cloud, so they can access from a Mac computer, which is now impossible to read EEGs from a Mac computer. Now you can do this. It's compliant. It's HIPAA compliant. We're moving towards the FDA approval process right now for the system, although we're actually selling in Brazil." #Neurogram #EEG #HealthcareIT #ClinicalNeurophysiology #DigitalHealth #HealthDataStandardization #EMRIntegration #MedicalAI #PatientSafety #HealthcareInnovation neurogram.com Listen to the podcast here

If you typed your patient's name and an appointment date into ChatGPT this week, you may have just created a HIPAA violation. Not because you were careless. Because nobody explained what actually counts as protected health information when AI is involved, and the standard consumer tools you're using every day were not built with your clinical practice in mind. AI compliance is not a solved problem. The law is moving slower than the technology. Your insurance carrier may not cover AI-related incidents. And right now, without a written policy, every person on your team is making the AI call individually, under the pressure of a busy day. This episode gives you the framework to get ahead of it before something goes wrong.   In this episode, we discuss: • what HIPAA actually protects and the 18 identifiers most spa owners miss (including before-and-after photos) • the one-sentence prompt rule that keeps you out of PHI territory in any AI tool • why your BAA doesn't protect you the way you think it does • the three things your insurance carrier is starting to ask about AI at underwriting • the four internal documents every spa and medspa should have in place right now • where to start if this feels overwhelming (it's one paragraph, and Daniela gives you the exact language)   Please note: Addo Aesthetics is not a law firm and nothing in this episode constitutes legal advice. For guidance specific to your practice, please consult a qualified healthcare attorney.

Electronic medical records (EMRs) have moved from a back-office upgrade to a frontline determinant of care quality, clinician burnout, and hospital economics. With U.S. hospitals often spending tens to hundreds of millions—sometimes exceeding $100 million—on EMR implementations, the stakes have never been higher for getting both the technology and the human adoption right. As healthcare continues shifting toward interoperability, outpatient care, and data-driven decision-making, the conversation around EMRs is no longer technical—it's strategic.So what does it really take to build a business in the EMR space—and more importantly, how do you know when it's time to walk away from it?Welcome to I Don't Care, hosted by Dr. Kevin Stevenson. In the latest episode, Dr. Stevenson sits down with Mark Embry, partner and co-founder of MedSys Group, to unpack decades of experience in healthcare technology consulting, the evolution of EMR implementation, and the personal side of exiting a company after 30 years.Top insights from the talk…How EMR consulting evolved from niche staffing to mission-critical healthcare transformation work: What started as staffing has become strategic work shaping how health systems operate.Why user adoption—not just technology—is the biggest determinant of EMR success: Without workflow change and clinician buy-in, even the best systems fall short.What founders should consider when transitioning out of a business they've built from scratch: A strong exit balances financial outcomes with team, culture, and timing.Mark Embry is the co-founder and EVP of Client Relationships at MedSys Group, where he has spent nearly three decades leading EMR advisory, implementation, and healthcare IT consulting services for providers across the U.S. He played a key role in building the company from its origins as Genesys Group into a nationally recognized firm supporting major initiatives, including federal EHR modernization projects with the DOD and VA.

Ashok didn't start as your usual tech guy; he started as a physical therapist treating veterans at VA hospitals, traveling through small-town America, working everywhere from ICUs to homehealth. And everywhere he went, he saw the same issue: people either had to come to you or you had to go to them, and in rural areas, services were just too far away.  Skip to 2017, Ashok and his wife (also a physical therapist) are watching TV when a commercial for virtual mental health therapy comes on. They look at each other and ask: "Why doesn't this exist for physical therapy?" Everyone said it couldn't work (the word itself is physical therapy, right?), but Ashok realized most of PT could be replicated virtually. No hospitals would pilot it, no payment model existed, then the pandemic hit, and what seemed impossible, became essential.  These days, Ashok's working with major health systems like Providence Health, and building AI-powered clinical documentation tools that are actually adopted by clinicians.

Dana Kay sits down with Beverly Jensen, Ph.D., to unpack the hidden impact of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from everyday devices like phones, Wi-Fi, tablets, and baby monitors. Beverly shares how this constant, invisible exposure may be affecting children's developing brains, nervous systems, sleep, and behavior, often without parents realizing it. Together, they explore the science behind EMFs (electromagnetic fields), including emerging research showing potential effects on neurodevelopment, even at levels far below current safety standards. Beverly also explains why children are more vulnerable, how modern homes have become "hotbeds" of exposure, and why this conversation isn't more widely discussed. Most importantly, this episode gives parents practical, doable steps they can start today.

Documentation in home health has always been essential, but it hasn't always supported clinicians and agencies in the way it needs to. In this episode of Home Health Revealed, we explore the evolution of home health documentation—from paper and pen to EMRs and now ambient AI—and what each stage has solved, as well as what gaps still remain. Joined by Sandeep Banga and Andrew Ostrander from Scribble, the conversation focuses on the space between what happens in the home and what gets captured in documentation, and how that gap directly impacts quality, compliance, and reimbursement. We also dig into how agencies are thinking differently about documentation today, not just as an administrative task, but as a core driver of clinician experience, retention, coding accuracy, and financial performance. Finally, we break down what ambient AI looks like in real workflows and why capturing documentation at the point of care is becoming increasingly important to closing the gap between care and cash. If your agency is thinking about the future of documentation and how it impacts both clinical and operational outcomes, this episode offers a grounded look at where things are headed.

AI and the Biggest Experiment in Medicine | Robert Wachter, MD

The electronic medical record (EMR) has become an unwelcome interloper in the exam room. Too often, patients find themselves answering questions delivered from behind a monitor by physicians hurriedly typing away. This isn't the kind of care anyone wants — but it's what the system demands. Thankfully, change may be on the horizon.  AI scribes are now being rolled out in EMRs across the country, capable of listening to a visit, generating a clinic note, and freeing the physician to be present with their patient. But these scribes are only an opening act of a much larger experiment — one that asks not merely whether AI can redeem the medical record, but whether it can usher in something closer to a Golden Age of medicine. Our guest on this episode is Bob Wachter, MD, professor and chair of medicine at UCSF and a leading voice in hospital medicine and administration. In 1996, he and his colleague Lee Goldman coined the term “hospitalist,” giving rise to what has become the fastest growing specialty in the history of modern medicine. He has authored over 300 articles and 6 books, including the New York Times bestseller The Digital Doctor (2015) and A Giant Leap: How AI is Transforming Healthcare and What That Means for Our Future (2026). Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Wachter traces how a long-held fascination with systems drew him into studying medicine's digital transformation over the past 15 years — a period spanning the turbulent rollout of electronic medical records and now the arrival of AI. We explore the bumpy history of adopting powerful but general-purpose technologies, how such technologies force complex industries to reshape themselves, and humanity's humbling track record of predicting what comes next. Dr. Wachter makes the case that AI's integration into medicine constitutes the biggest experiment the field has ever undertaken, and explains why he believes it will ultimately resolve many of the health care system's deepest problems and elevate the practice of medicine itself.In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:46 - Dr. Watcher's path to medicine and to his study of digital transformation8:06 - The wins and losses of the transition to electronic medical records26:45 - Why Dr. Watcher is optimistic that AI will deliver a “golden age” for medicine 37:30 - Contending with the potential dangers of AI in the revenue-focused medical industry50:30 - Dr. Watcher's view on if there will always be an important place for doctors in the future If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Promise of Value-Based Medicine | Farzad Mostashari, MD

Electronic Medical Records have transformed the way we practice health care, making patient data readily accessible to health care providers, facilitating collaboration within and across large medical teams, increasing transparency, and drastically improving the legibility of patient charts and prescriptions. But despite these benefits, many physicians cite the electronic medical record as a primary driver of burnout, pointing to the overwhelming volume of documentation it requires. In this episode, we explore how the launch of EMRs within the context of America's predominantly fee-for-service health care system led to the technology falling short of its promise — and how transitioning to value-based care models might redeem the technology, revitalize physicians, and recenter public health. Our guest on this episode is Farzad Mostashari, MD. After completing a degree in public health at Harvard, medical school at Yale, and residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Mostashari spent over a decade working in public health: first for the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service and then for the New York City Department of Health. From 2009 to 2011, he served as the National Coordinator for Health IT at the Department of Health and Human Services where he helped oversee the nationwide transition from paper to electronic medical records. In 2014, he founded Aledade, a company that helps primary care physicians form value-based care networks in the US.  Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Mostashari shares how his childhood in Iran pushed him towards public health, how his experience watching his father being cared for in the hospital drove him towards medicine, and how he has spent his career in the liminal space between public health and medicine. We discuss the rollout of EMRs, and how fee-for-service payment models led to EMRs being optimized for documentation rather than patient care. We explore how value-based care not only solves the problem of over-documentation, but also better aligns the goals of patients, physicians, and even insurance companies. Dr. Mostashari maps out the progress we have made toward this kind of model and the hurdles we have to clear before we have a system that incentivizes preventing stroke as much as treating stroke. In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:35 - How Dr. Mostashari became drawn to the intersection between the intimate work of doctoring and the wide lens work of public health. 12:12 - Dr. Mostashari's experiences modernizing health IT systems and learning to optimize for the number of lives saved rather than the number of technological solutions implemented.16:05 - Dr. Mostashari's assessment of the rollout of the electronic medical record in the US.25:09 - How Aledade frees primary care physicians to prioritize patient outcomes and reduces the burden of EMR documentation.38:57 - What the US can learn from international health care systems. 41:00 - Challenges in transitioning to outcome-based models of primary care.50:30 - How Dr. Mostashari's medical training has shaped his career in public health. If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
