Aledade CEO, Dr. Farzad Mostashari, and best-selling author Geoffrey Moore explore how the concepts in Moore's influential book, “Crossing the Chasm” can be applied to accelerate adoption of value-based care. In order to move to mainstream adoption, it's crucial to focus on the niche market of “pragmatists in pain” who have an urgent need that the current system isn't solving. Our co-host Sean Cavanaugh, chief policy officer at Aledade, points out that oftentimes in the traditional fee-for-service model, the pragmatists in pain are independent primary care clinicians. Moore and Dr. Mostashari also share insights and recommendations for the new administration from their recent article, including focusing on primary care, defining the competition and paving the way for simplifiers who can help clinicians navigate the complexities of value-based care. Using this framework, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) could accelerate expansion of value-based care to the majority of the nation's primary care clinicians as well as their patients.

Earning a Presidential Management Fellowship after law school gave Kristen McGovern firsthand experience working inside many of the agencies and offices that drive U.S. healthcare policy. Over a two year period with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) she worked at organizations including the National Cancer Institute and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). She eventually landed at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) just as the HITECH Act was signed into law in 2009, dedicating nearly $30 billion to modernizing healthcare IT.As the executive office that oversees the federal budget and federal agencies, Kristen worked closely with leadership at OMB and HHS as they deployed funding for Meaningful Use and other programs catalyzed by the landmark legislation.In 2010, around the same time the Affordable Care Act was passed into law, Kristen was recruited by Farzad Mostashari (a previous guest on the Healthcare is Hard podcast) and became chief of staff at the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC).These experiences launched a career that has put Kristen at the forefront of federal healthcare policy and politics. She is currently partner at Sirona Strategies, a healthcare consulting firm she co-founded to advise organizations – from startups to the Fortune 500 – on healthcare policy.Some of the topics Kristen talked to Keith Figlioli about on this episode of the Healthcare is Hard podcast include:A pulse check on DC. Kristen shared insight into the offices and agencies shaping the healthcare industry from inside the beltway. For example, she talked about the current state of the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), the activity she says is happening “below the surface” and how the organization is at an inflection point after more than a decade testing payment and delivery system models.The evolution of Meaningful Use. Looking back at her time at ONC, Kristen talks about the initial goals of encouraging EHR adoption to unlock insight from paper records that were sitting in filing cabinets. She talks about progress the industry has made and the current goals of making sure organizations can access and use data in new and innovative ways. In other words, ensuring we haven't just created electronic filing cabinets.The size and scope of AI Policy. With all the enthusiasm about artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, Kristen talks about the process of putting guardrails around this powerful technology. She says it will require a large-scale collaborative effort across HHS and other government agencies, and believes it will ultimately be an even bigger undertaking than Meaningful Use.Policy advice for startups. As a highly regulated industry, every organization that touches healthcare needs to be aware of the impact current and future policy decisions could have on their business. Kristen shared advice about how she helps startups think through the impact of policy decisions, and when and how to embed policy experts in a business.To hear Keith and Kristen talk about these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.

Farzad Mostashari has spent his career in health care policy and Health Information Technology.  Farzad previously served as the National Coordinator for Health IT in the Department of Health and Human Services. Prior to his work at the Office of the National Coordinator, he founded the NYC Primary Care Information project, which equipped physicians and underserved communities with electronic health records. He completed medical school at the Yale School of Medicine and a Master's degree in Population Health from Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health. In this episode we talk about Farzad's journey to healthcare, how he started Aledade, the importance of independent physicians in value-based care, how Aledade scaled as a profitable health tech company, and advice he has for founders.

When KFF Health News' “What the Health?” podcast launched in 2017, Republicans in Washington were engaged in an (ultimately unsuccessful) campaign to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act. The next six years would see a pandemic, increasingly unaffordable care, and a health care workforce experiencing unprecedented burnout. In the podcast's 300th episode, host and chief Washington correspondent Julie Rovner explores the past and possible future of the U.S. health care system with three prominent “big thinkers” in health policy: Ezekiel Emanuel of the University of Pennsylvania, Jeff Goldsmith of Health Futures, and Farzad Mostashari of Aledade.

Josh and Brian are joined by Aledade's CEO and co-founder, Dr. Farzad Mostashari, and Amy Simmerman, a partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, to discuss the idea of a public benefit corporation - what it is and what it means, why Aledade has decided to become one, and what this means for the health care industry as a whole.

Our guest on this episode is Dr. Farzad Mostashari. Farzad is the co-founder and CEO of Aledade, a primary care enablement company that partners with independent PCPs to transition to value-based care and, as a result, maintain their independence. Founded in 2014, Aledade works with 11,000 physicians across 40 states and DC, accounting for 1.7M patients under management in Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Commercial and Medicaid contracts. Farzad previously served as the National Coordinator for Health IT in the Department of Health and Human Services, he completed medical school at the Yale School of Medicine and a Master's in Population Health from Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Earlier this year, Aledade raised a $123M Series E round of funding led by OMERS Growth Equity. In this episode, I spoke with Farzad about: His journey to starting Aledade and the role policy expertise and evidence have played in the company's success Why he and the company are betting on independent physicians as the drivers of change in value-based care How Aledade became the rare profitable health tech company

Farzad Mostashari is the co-founder and CEO of Aledade. Farzad's problem is this: How can we pay doctors to keep us healthy, rather than treating us after we get sick? People have been struggling to solve this problem for decades. But for a bunch of reasons you'll hear about on the show, Farzad and his colleagues may be the ones to finally solve it.

Farzad Mostashari, founder and CEO of Aledade, speaks with Venrock's Bryan Roberts and Bob Kocher about improving the quality and efficiency of patient care with a focus on preventative care. With the recent launch of Aledade Care Solutions and new focus on Medicare Advantage, Mostashari delves into Aledade's efforts to scale and deliver where average primary care practices can't. Mostashari also reveals his approach to value based care incentive structure, and why building a valuable solution requires a long time horizon.

I saw a Tweet from Farzad Mostashari, MD, the other day; and I'm gonna rewrite it in the context of today's show: This is why we can't have nice things! As soon as someone comes up with something that might accomplish some good things when done in moderation and with good intent, it gets exploited for revenue maximization. I have to admit, this conversation with Aaron Mitchell, MD, MPH, and actually the one with Mark Miller, PhD (EP380), from two episodes ago were both kind of painful for me—and let me tell you why. It's the same reason I find conversations painful about hospitals or leading cancer centers or even some self-insured employers and EBCs (employee benefit consultants): It hurts my heart when some percentage of healthcare industry peeps who have the opportunity to produce so much good in the world instead choose to do stuff that is financially or otherwise toxic. But let me get to the point of today's show. Dr. Aaron Mitchell and I are talking about conflicts of interest (COI), and we're talking about COI in the payments that are made from Pharma to physicians. COI might mean when physicians are paid in a way that skews their clinical decision-making. Nobody wants to be the patient of a physician with skewed decision-making, after all. That's the “why” of this whole discourse. Now, let's get into two important points re: skewed decision-making. Any payment that skews decision-making is, in fact, considered no bueno by the current writing of the AKS, the anti-kickback statute. Second, almost any payment, direct or indirect, turns out, skews physician decision-making. It's not just getting paid the big bucks to make a speech or consult or whatever. Getting a modest free lunch can also have the same effect. Prescribing is affected. That's what the data show and what the recent paper that Dr. Aaron Mitchell and his colleagues published in the Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law articulates. Their paper is titled “Industry Payments to Physicians Are Kickbacks: How Should Stakeholders Respond?” So, hmmm. Much to cogitate upon in what I just said, which is what the conversation with Dr. Aaron Mitchell that follows is all about. But let me offer up a few spoilers and maybe some additional thoughts. First of all, some “Are payments COI and kickbacks?” contemplations are pretty black and white. We start out the conversation in this healthcare podcast talking about the recent Biogen incident, I guess I'll call it, which is sadly not an outlier. Biogen never admitted any wrongdoing here. But if what they are accused of doing is true, this could be considered not a gray area. This is black-and-white COI—unquestionably should not happen. But where things get a little bit more open to interpretation and require some consideration and thoughtfulness is if we're trying to weigh the gray in the middle between black and white. Here, what needs to be thought through is the aggregate good versus the aggregate bad of Pharma paying physicians to do stuff or buying things for them. If Pharma needs help during its clinical trials to figure out a breakthrough therapy and they want to talk to leading experts in a specialty, that's maybe a good thing so that they can get a drug that actually works well for patients. So is—and this is me talking, not Dr. Mitchell—but I could see that Pharma helping to figure out ways to educate clinicians about the best ways to help patients suffering with real diseases that nobody else is making any effort to do anything about at a national scale … it could help humans live better lives if Pharma takes the advice of the right thought leaders and helps to disseminate their teachings. Maybe physician societies could fill this role, but a lot of times, who needs educated are not the actual doctors in the society in question. It's other doctors the patient is seeing who don't realize the root cause is a GI problem or CKD (chronic kidney disease) until the patient needs a liver transplant or “crashes” into dialysis in the ER. But irrespective of the validity of my musings here, the point is to quantify the in-aggregate “good” that might happen as a result of Pharma paying appropriate clinical experts appropriate amounts. Contrast that aggregate good against some not so good. Study findings that Pharma can drive up not only Rx's (prescriptions) for its own drugs but also drugs in general when they buy stuff for doctors or pay doctors. Patient populations get overmedicated when compared to a baseline as a result. Too many patients get diagnosed and treated for some condition that they may not actually have. Too many expensive me-too drugs get prescribed at big unnecessary costs to patients, taxpayers, and employers. When I say costs to patients, by the way, I also might be implying a clinical overtone here as much as a financial one, because there's almost no drug that comes without side effects. So, what are some solutions that Dr. Aaron Mitchell mentions in this episode, or I that bring up, if we are trying to steer physician payments into the aggregate good zone and out of the bad COI zone? Here we go, and these are not necessarily in the order in which they are discussed: Keep an eye on practice patterns and overall costs. This might make physicians aware when their clinical decision-making is getting swayed, so to speak. Get payers involved. Listen to this whole episode for the “how” and “why” here, but if anyone has a visceral reaction to this, here's one possible positive from a physician standpoint: It could be a way to get rid of a lot of PAs (prior auths). If a doc's practice pattern is average, on trend, and/or they do not take industry dollars, then they get what amounts to a PA gold card. With that carrot, a doc may have less inclination to let their prescribing decisions sway and/or take pharma dollars. The federal government can get involved in a few ways that Dr. Mitchell talks about. One of them is a direct ban on all payments. Or maybe they could just clarify what is okay and what is not okay, since what is listed as COI in the current AKS is also currently considered an industry norm. Asking providers themselves to pay attention and self-regulate and to, for example, not accept speaking gigs where they are paid to talk to an empty room or “consult” on topics that really they should know they're not thought leaders in.

The number of Americans with a primary care physician is declining along with the number of medical school graduates wanting to go into primary care. A big reason for this is how and how much they are paid. Can replacing our fee-for-service model with value-based care save our healthcare system? In this episode, Dr. Farzad Mostashari, former National Coordinator for Health IT at HHS and current Co-Founder and CEO of Aledade, dives into the what, why, and how of value-based care solutions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Farzad Mostashari, CEO and co-founder of Aledade, discusses how quality reporting for physicians has become time-intensive and no longer commensurate with incentives. He tells us the whole system is in need of “radical surgery”.   

The Future of Healthcare is shaped by technology but moves at the pace of policy, incentives and culture. Today we look at a panel discussion from August at the Health Evolution Summit. FTA “How do we change the culture of medicine and pick up on what happened in COVID, which is we adopted a new pace of change, a new sense of urgency to respond to a clear and present danger? How do we actually feel the other types of danger that aren't necessarily clear and present to accelerate the pace of change within health care more broadly?” asked Sachin Jain, MD, President & CEO, SCAN Group and Health Plan, during the Health Evolution Summit 2021 in late August. Joining Jain on the stage were Jon Perlin, MD, President of Clinical Operations and Chief Medical Officer, HCA Healthcare, Farzad Mostashari, MD, CEO and Founder, Aledade, and Chris Chen, MD, CEO, ChenMed.  “This is a moment that really is disruptive. COVID has forced change. To quote the famous philosopher Yogi Berra, ‘The future ain't what it used to be,'” Perlin said. “That future has been accelerated and there are things that are incremental, but I think COVID forced us to think differently, to really think about a step change in performance.” — What policies and incentives are most important to maintaining the pace of innovation in healthcare? #healthcare #healthIT #cio #chime #cmio #himss https://www.healthevolution.com/insider/what-it-will-take-to-maintain-the-accelerated-pace-of-innovation-in-health-care-post-pandemic/ (https://www.healthevolution.com/insider/what-it-will-take-to-maintain-the-accelerated-pace-of-innovation-in-health-care-post-pandemic/)

Dr. Farzad Mostashari, CEO and co-founder of Aledade, discusses how quality reporting for physicians has become time-intensive and no longer commensurate with incentives. He tells us the whole system is in need of “radical surgery”.   

Trevor and Steve sit down with Farzad Mostashari, Founder & CEO of Aledade, this week on A Healthy Dose.

Dr. Farzad Mostashari’s extensive resume doesn’t fully convey the true value he brings to reimagining healthcare. He’s the former National Coordinator for Health IT at the Department of Health and Human Services, served as assistant commissioner at the New York City Department of Health, was an Epidemic Intelligence Service officer at the CDC, a fellow at The Brookings Institution and a resident at Mass General Hospital. Yet, with all that experience, he says living through the Iranian revolution before moving to the U.S. at age 14 is what fuels his ability to see things differently.As he told Keith Figlioli, “seeing an actual revolution does something for your sense that things can change; that you can be looking at one reality one day, and a different reality the next day.”In this episode of Healthcare is Hard, Farzad talks about how he’s never been totally comfortable inside – or even leading – the grand institutions he’s been part of, and at some level, has always felt like an outsider. He describes his ability to see the insider and outsider perspective, his natural disposition to see things differently, and how this trait led him to found Aledade.Most of the industry looked at the Medicare Shared Savings program in the Affordable Care Act and assumed that hospitals needed to be at the center of creating and sharing in savings. But after noticing the law didn’t require a hospital, Farzad began building a network of primary care doctors who could treat people upstream, reduce hospitalization and lower costs.Seven years later, Aledade has assembled 800 practices in 35 states and has $12.5 billion in annual medical spend under management. It’s helping independent physician practices deliver better care, reduce overall costs and preserve their autonomy in communities all across America.Farzad brings his outsider mentality and inclination to see things differently to his conversation with Keith Figlioli on this episode of Healthcare is Hard. They cover a number of topics including:Dis-economies of scale. Farzad talks about how healthcare is one of the few industries where organizations tend to lose money as they get bigger, and how it all maps back to fee-for-service. The main driver of consolidation in healthcare has been the need to build leverage at the negotiating table. But he says if you change the rules of game – including what’s being valued, rewarded, and compensated – you actually see that the small guys do better.Independent vs. Institutions. Farzad sees this as a proxy battle. He says if you’re betting fee-for-service will be the future of healthcare, bet on consolidating health systems. But if you’re betting on value, bet on the independents.Trust in policy makers. As someone who has lived on both the public and private sides of healthcare, Farzad sees that many people in the private sector are highly skeptical of healthcare policy makers. But in his experience, smart policy makers are motivated by evidence and doing the right thing to help improve care and lower cost. He says leaders in the private sector who understand this are in a better position to navigate the potential regulatory risk impacting their business.A decade of vision driving real value. It’s taken a long time to build much of the infrastructure that started under Farzad’s leadership at ONC almost ten years ago. And now, the combination of new incentives with data-driven capabilities the industry has talked about for a long time are very real. These elements have already created billions of dollars in value that couldn’t exist before, and that impact will continue to multiply.To hear Farzad and Keith talk about these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard.

It's not a secret, the broken healthcare system is exquisitely tuned to react after patients get sick. For the most part, profits are made after we FAIL patients. And it hurts all of the caregivers who face the daily internal conflict of doing what is right for the patient or doing what is right for the business. But there are a few who are positioned differently. When the strategy and business are unconflicted they're not worried about demand destruction and leakage but are instead focused on prevention and true care management. It all begins with prioritizing and properly aligning primary care. A group of 100 adult primary care physicians can influence $1 billion in healthcare spend. This is the source of potential power and change in a value-based world, where health will improve for patients and their providers while costs are decreased. Aledade is such a place – by allowing providers to remain independent and unfettered by the constraints of fee for service, Aledade is blazing the path toward true health value. Episode Bookmarks: 03:30 Comparison of Healthcare Spending ($6M per minute) to Niagara Falls (6M cubic feet per minute) 04:55 Aledade's success in short lifespan of company (now at 800 practice partnerships with $360 million in healthcare cost savings) 06:05 The misalignment of incentives creating a perverse incentive for poor outcomes (e.g. profitability of treatments following a stroke) 06:45 Dr. Mostashari spending his career trying to find answers to the question, “How do we save the most lives?” 07:20 Adoption of electronic health records (“We succeeded in the battle, but we lost the war.”) 07:45 Provider workflow redesign and optimization (Regional Extension Centers) 08:25 “How can we create incentives so that private profit creates public good?" 09:30 “The Paradox of Primary Care Physician Leadership”  (the influence of primary care on downstream healthcare spend) 11:30 Consolidation of primary care by Optum and private equity firms 12:00 The resiliency of independent primary care practices 12:30 “Independent practices can do what they believe is in the patients' best interest, without worrying that they're obligation to the patient conflicts with their obligation to the corporation.” 13:00 Data shows remarkably little change in hospital employment of PCPs, thereby showing resilience in the primary care market 15:00 Movements are led by effective storytelling and these stories can revitalize communities of people 17:00 Primary care heroes during COVID-19, and how society neglected them by failures in supply chains, testing, and vaccines 18:40 Aledade's support of primary care practices during the pandemic 20:00 “It is remarkable what happens when you do the right thing.” 22:00 Dr. Mostashari's terror in seeing early ER utilization data in knowing that a pandemic was coming (before the media was covering it) 23:00 Implementation of telehealth, finding PPE, and securing loans for practices in early stages of pandemic 23:25 “The idea of practices going out of business during the pandemic highlights the insanity of fee-for-service payment for primary care.” 24:00 The lessons of COVID-19: 1) Healthcare can change, 2) Primary care doesn't have to be an in-person visit, 3) Capitation in primary care is preferrable to fee-for-service 25:40 “Primary care is about the relationship between a practice and patient --  it's not about the 99213 visit.” 27:30 Dr. Mostashari addresses recent delays by CMMI in new APMs and what we should expect in future health policy 28:30 Scaling the models that work is the job of good health policy.  (MSSP compared to CMMI programs) 29:00 The ACO Investment Model (AIM) program was successful and a model for future provider and patient incentive programs 30:30 CMMI delays should not be considered as a question to the direction of value-based models. 32:00 The progress of the ONC in standardizing health in...

Race to Value listeners -- April is National Minority Health Month, and this year, the HHS Office of Minority Health is focusing on the disproportionate impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on racial and ethnic minority communities.  This Bonus Episode is a compilation of viewpoints on health equity and racial disparities of care from some of our former guests in the past year.  We hope you take the time to listen intently to their message. Certainly over the last many year we have been exposed to the great inequities that have existed in our society for far too long.  We have one major obligation we have to each other…that is to tell the truth.  And the truth is, there are so many inequities in our society for minorities, including the manifestation of institutional racism within our nation's health system. As leaders in value-based care, we have to be accountable to the endeavor that we are about. We endeavor to, in fact, ensure every patient receives the best treatment possible so they can live the life they are intended to live. That we endeavor to create the opportunity for health equity, and that is true regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or otherwise. We hope you find meaning in this Bonus episode and gain awareness for how important health equity and social justice is to win this Race to Value.

Today’s healthcare silos cause a multitude of problems that range from information gaps to duplicative efforts. The patient is in the middle, often relying solely on her own capabilities to fill in the gaps or prevent redundant procedures.  At best, the healthcare system is inefficient.  At its worst, the healthcare system puts patients in danger.  Jay Desai, CEO & Co-founder of PatientPing shares his perspective on how interoperability can solve many of these issues.

Every day, primary care providers are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, treating sick patients even as they worry about bringing the virus home to their families. Many still lack adequate protective gear, and many worry about the financial stability of their practices. With the U.S. starting to reopen, we need our primary care practices to keep their lights on — not only to test and treat people with mild symptoms but also to address health concerns that people have neglected while staying home. On this episode of The Dose podcast, health policy expert Farzad Mostashari, M.D., who advises and supports hundreds of primary care practices across the country, explains what it will take to ensure doctors can continue caring for Americans throughout the pandemic.

Today on Health in 2 Point 00, Jess and Matthew talk about HCA now that the real numbers have come out. Jess asks Matthew about Aledade raising $64 million. Founded by former ONC director Farzad Mostashari, they set up ACOs for independent physician practices and have been doing a lot around COVID-19. Medopad has rebranded as Huma and acquired Biobeats and Tarilian Laser Technologies (TLT); they've been doing remote monitoring and have been around for a while. Novartis acquires Amblyotech, a lazy eye digital therapeutic. Finally Yes Health gets $6 million - yet another "we'll put you on a diet and have coaches bully you" platform.

Farzad Mostashari, the former National Coordinator for Health Information Technology at the Department of Health and Human Services, says we need to collect better data to effectively fight the spread of the virus. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

October 24th on This Week in Accountable Care at 5PM PT/8PM ET our very special guest is Farzad Mostashri, MD. Dr. Mostashari (@Farzad_MD) is the founder and CEO of Aledade (follow on twitter via @AledadeACO), a company 'Offering a New Model of Primary Care'. More about Aledade: 'Founded in 2014, Aledade offers a new model of primary care that puts physicians back where they should be: quarterbacking their patients’ health care. Aledade has grown rapidly and currently partners with more than 200 practices with more than 240,000 patients across 15 states to help them deliver seamless, affordable, high-quality care.'

Aledade Co-Founder and CEO Farzad Mostashari, MD, the former national coordinator for health IT at the Department of Health and Human Services, is leading a start-up to help restore power to primary care physicians.

Farzad Mostashari, founder and CEO of Aledade, speaks with Bob Kocher at Venrock about bringing a data-driven approach to solving problems and the importance of knowing the question you want to answer, so you can apply the appropriate analysis. Mostashari, who went to medical school, knew quickly that he would not pursue a traditional career as a physician. In medical school he was an outlier, asking questions about population/public health, and then during his residency was mostly curious about the systems, so it’s no surprise that Mostashari went on to hold positions with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, New York City Department of Health and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Despite loving government service, Mostashari saw an opportunity to improve healthcare through Accountable Care Organizations, that would be better for patients, better for doctors and better for society. And in 2014 Aledade was born.

The secret to transitioning physicians' practice patterns and behavior is to follow the “I Decided to Cha-Cha” rule, says Farzad Mostashari, MD, Aledade’s Chief Executive Officer. Farzad explores the role independent primary care physicians play in the shift to value-based care. He says independent primary care physicians are the key to market transformation.

Today's guest is Dr. Farzad Mostashari, Founder and CEO of Aledade. Our host, Dr. Pat Salber, will be discussing with Farzad the recent news with Aledade since our last conversation with him, which can be found here. Sneak Peek: 1.  The Aledade ACOs (a Delaware ACO and a Primary Care ACO spanning NY, MD, and AR) launched on January 1st. CMS Announcement: http://blog.cms.gov/2014/12/22/acos-moving-ahead/http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/sharedsavingsprogram/Downloads/MSSP-ACOs-2015-Starters.pdf Aledade Blog on the Approval:  http://www.aledade.com/its-official-aledade-acos-up-and-running/ 2.  In preparation for the ACOs going live, Aledade has instituted two major tech advancements at their practices: "Outreach," a Patient Engagement Application.A software platform to notify primary care docs and their staffs  when patients are admitted, discharged, or transferred into/out of hospitals and other treatment facilities. 3.  Brookings released an "ACO Toolkit"

Perk your ears to listen to their story. If you haven't already listened to our previous podcast with Aledade and Farzad, check out our episode list and listen to that before listening to this one. It'll give you more perspective on what we'll be discussing.  Also, please go and check out the Aledade website at www.aledade.com for more information on what the company is about. Until then!!

On a special edition of 'This Week in Accountable Care' we'll chat with Farzad Mostashari, MD, CEO and Founder of Aledade about the recent announcement of Privia Health and the simultaneous release of results in the Pioneer [ACO] program by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. For some commentary on the significance of the Privia Health announcement, see: 'IPA 2.0 the Preferred ACO Chassis?' and for the CMS release see: 'Pioneer ACOs improve quality, have mixed results on slowing spending, CMS says.'  

Dr. Farzad Mostashari, former National Coordinator for HIT and more recently a Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution, has launched a new VC-backed company, Aledade.   Aledade provides the smarts and some of the infrastructure to help independent primary care physicians form and join Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).  ACOs are a new care delivery model in which doctors are paid to deliver the best care as opposed to the fee-for-service model that encourages them to do more care.  Farzad notes in his blog that his tenure at Brookings allowed him to go on a healthcare "walkabout."  He visited and talked to docs and healthcare wonks around the country and came away with 'a rare stereoscopic view of the change sweeping through healthcare - the anxiety of those with "one foot on the old business model's grave and the other foot on their new business model banana peel," mingled with the excitement of those who would disrupt the process.' He says, during the process, he also found his cause. "It's to help independent primary care doctors re-design their practices, and re-imagine their future...It's to support them with people who will stand beside them, with no interests other than theirs in mind.  It's to promote new partnerships built on mutual respect, and business arrangements that they will truly reward them for the value that they uniquely can bring - in better care coordination, management of chornic diseases, and preventing disease and suffering.  It's to achieve lower cost through better care and better health." Listen in on this fascinating discussion.

Wednesday July 9th, 2014 our guest is former Director of the Office of the National Coodinator for HealthIT, Dr. Farzad Mostashari. Since leaving ONC, he's been busy as a Visiting Fellow for Economic Studies at the Brookings Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform where his work centered on 'helping clinicians improve care and patient health through health IT, focusing on small practice transformation by developing innovative payment models that can better support these types of practices.' Meanwhile Dr Mostashari in concert with healthcare reform advisor to President Obama, and Venrock Partner Bob Kocher has been actively baking an ACO management company who's mission is to support - if not stmulate - physician led accountable care collaborations. Aledade launched June 18th, 2014 to much 'physician friend fanfare'; follow on twitter via @AledadeACO. The company describes itself as follows: 'Aledade ACOs are networks of primary care physicians who band together to deliver coordinated care to their patient populations. They operate under a payment structure designed to reward patient outcomes rather than solely paying for tests, procedures, and hospitalizations. Join Dr. Phil Marshall and me for an exploration of the company's business model, its principal market mission and managerial platforms.        

On the Wednesday, November 20th broadcast at 9:30AM Pacific/12:30 PM Eastern our special guest is Farzad Mostashari, MD visiting fellow of the Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform at the Brookings Institution, and former National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, Department of Health and Human Services. According to his bio at Brookings: 'Dr. Mostashari's work covers a range of topics related to helping clinicians improve care and patient health through health IT, focusing on small practice transformation by developing innovative payment models that can better support these types of practices. This work will include expanding the reach of the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Learning Network, a Brookings-Dartmouth project that provides participating organizations the tools necessary to successfully implement accountable care.' As the Health and Human Services point person at ONC, Farzad was a higly visible, articulate and effective advocate for the adoption of health information technology. On the broadcast today, we'll get reflections on his ONC tenure, and how that experience informs what he sees ahead as core enabling drivers of the transformation agenda of the American healthcare ecosystem. Join us for key insights from this nationally prominent healthcare leader.
