In this encore episode, host Wendy Hanson engages with Dr. Julie Pham, founder of CuriosityBase, to explore the critical role of respect in relationships, particularly in the workplace. They discuss the seven forms of respect — procedure, punctuality, information, candor, consideration, acknowledgement, and attention — and how understanding these can enhance communication and collaboration within teams. Key takeaways: Good processes require positive relationships to be effective. Respect is a key component in both personal and professional relationships. The seven forms of respect help articulate needs and expectations. Procedure involves adhering to established norms and rules. Punctuality reflects respect for others' time. Information should be shared openly to foster inclusion. Candor is essential for constructive feedback and growth. Consideration involves anticipating others' needs and wants. Acknowledgement reinforces positive contributions and builds morale. Attention is crucial for effective communication and respect.

Order our new book, The Score That Matters https://amzn.to/3HSQzhf Rob Henderson has a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Cambridge, where he studied as a Gates Cambridge Scholar. He obtained a B.S. in psychology from Yale University and is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. He's the author of Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class Self-discipline beats motivation. Often, people say they need to feel “motivated” to perform a task. Motivation, though, is just a feeling. Self-discipline is “I'm going to do this, regardless of how I feel.” Air Force Training – "My favorite part of training was the camaraderie. I especially enjoyed drill and marching. The synchronized movement with others, moving as a single element, instilled a feeling of belonging." – The military provided a structured environment. Rob said that whenever he felt like an outsider, he sought refuge in helping others. Because of that, he volunteered at New Haven Reads near Yale. While there, he met a kid named Guillermo. There, he learned how to relate with others by sharing his story. Writing: Rob was accepted into the War Horse Writing Seminar at Columbia University. The program was designed to help veterans write about their experiences. External Achievement: "Upon obtaining a few totems of achievement, I came to realize that they are flawed measures of success. External accomplishments are trivial compared with a warm and loving family. Going to school is far less important than having a parent who cares enough to make sure you get to class every day." Two of Rob's mom's friends came to him for advice. They were talking about their 6-year-old son and they were concerned with how “smart” he was. They asked, “Should we be reading to him more?” And Rob responded, “Yeah, but not because it will expand his vocabulary. Read to him because it will remind him that you love him.” The best and worst things about Yale: Best Students work ethic Focused Unique pursuits Worst Self-censorship One of his instructors at Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas asked the class one Friday afternoon if they had any questions. Rob asked, “If you could do it all over again, would you still have enlisted?” – “Understand that the Air Force is going to ask a lot from you. Just remember that you can get a lot in return from it, as well.” Luxury beliefs - Rob coined the term to describe beliefs that mark the believer as holding the approved opinion while harming those less privileged. Lessons Learned The Hard Way: You are what you do. Not what you say or what you believe. People use words to strategically justify their actions and blind you to who they really are. Don't be fooled by cheap talk. Pay close attention to how people actually spend their time and effort. Good conversations are made up of questions. Avoid speaking for longer than three minutes without asking one. When seeking advice, ask people in a different life station than you—ahead or behind, older or younger. People in the same position are often biased by envy, and this can color the advice they give. One of the most common life regrets people report is “I wish I had let myself be happier.” You'll never be happy if you continue thinking that you'll be happy one day. “The study of happiness often sounds like a sermon for traditional values. The numbers show it is not the rich, privileged, robust, or good-looking who are happy; it is those who have spouses, friends, religion, and challenging, meaningful work” - Steven Pinker (How The Mind Works) 35% of people in America graduate with a bachelor's degree, 11% of people from poor families graduate from college. And just 3% of foster kids graduate from college. When you think about Rob's story, it's hard not to be inspired. He's beaten almost impossible odds to not only graduate from college, but he served our country, then went to Yale, graduated, and got his PhD from Cambridge. It's awesome to see what he's done and he's still so young and at the beginning of his career. I love it when good things happen to good people. Life/career advice - “Be a fish out of water. Do something hard. Be uncomfortable.” That was advice for a recent grad, but I think it's useful for all of us.

Talking points: childhood, trauma, foster care, relationships We all know that poverty can have a massive impact on a child's future well-being, sense of self, attachment style, and more. Foster children face equally (if not more) significant challenges. Rob Henderson, author of the incredibly powerful book, "Troubled", explains some of what happens. Team, I strongly recommend this one if you're interested at all in childhood trauma, how attachment develops, the apparent demonization of young men, absent fathers, and of course, Rob's book. Seriously could NOT stop reading it. (00:00:00) - Intro (00:06:54)- How Rob approached writing such a profound book—and why (00:14:27) - What's the foster-care system like in America? (00:23:01) - How does the foster-care system shape a child's perspective on relationships? (00:36:01) - How Rob found a sense of belonging (00:39:23) - How did Rob repair or build relationships with men? (00:46:06) - Rob's take on how absent fathers impact children (00:51:33) - On “Young Male Syndrome” and the limits of attachment (01:03:40) - How do dating apps impact attachment, and how Rob worked on healing his own attachment style Rob Henderson grew up in foster homes across California, and is a writer on human nature, psychology, social class, TV shows, movies, political and social divisions, and more. He's perhaps most known for pioneering the concept of "luxury beliefs," a term he coined to describe a new way of understanding the American status system. After working as a busboy, a dishwasher, and supermarket bagger, he joined the Air Force at the age of 17, stationed mostly in Europe and deployed in the Middle East. Once described as “self-made” by the New York Times, Henderson obtained a B.S. in Psychology from Yale (thanks to the G.I. Bill) and a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Cambridge (St. Catharine's College), where I studied as a Gates Cambridge Scholar. He is a founding faculty fellow at UATX and a columnist at The Free Press, and have written for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Boston Globe, among other outlets.

In September 2022, following a tense but peaceful transition of power, William Ruto became president of Kenya. As part of his so-called ‘Hustler' narrative, President Ruto committed to addressing rising inequality and poverty through the provision of cheap credit to the young voters who put in him in office. The new government also committed to increase funding for renewable energy, to education reforms, to end police brutality and to focus on the ‘common mwananchi' or common person, otherwise known as ‘Hustler', or mwananchi in Kiswahili. Yet, as Kenya's leading opposition party increasingly challenge the legitimacy of the elections, questions remain about the stability of the Ruto Presidency. This presentation by Dr Njoki Wamai discusses the Kenyan presidential election outcome and the implications which it may have for the region, the European Union and Ireland. Njoki Wamai PhD is an Assistant Professor in the International Relations Department at the United States International University-Africa. She was a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre for Governance and Human Rights at the Politics and International Studies Department at the University of Cambridge, where she completed her PhD in politics and international studies as a Gates Cambridge Scholar in 2017. Previously, Dr Wamai was a Peace, Security and Development Scholar at the African Leadership Centre at King's College London. She has published book chapters and articles with Oxford University Press, Routledge and Zed Books on international intervention, the International Criminal Court, mediation and violence using postcolonial and decolonial approaches.

HRRP stands for Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, by the way. I wanted to encore this episode with Dr. Rishi Wadhera because it's a great representation of a common root cause reason why quality metrics sometimes don't end well in real life. This root cause is otherwise known as Goodhart's Law, and we dig into Goodhart's law later on in this healthcare podcast. But the actual and ultimate impact of HRRP is also a pretty good representation of the consequences, what happens, when you create a blunt-force policy that assumes hospitals with very different circumstances are the same. Before we kick in to the episode, I asked Dr. Wadhera, my guest today as aforementioned, if there'd been any updates regarding HRRP since this show originally aired last year; and he told me that two key pieces have come out this past month in JAMA journals calling out CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) to move on from/retire this policy: A Decade of Observing the Hospital Readmission Reductions Program—Time to Retire an Ineffective Policy Readmission Reduction as a Hospital Quality Measure: Time to Move on to More Pressing Concerns? Thanks so much to Dr. Steve Schutzer and also BoneDoc66 for your really nice reviews this past month. So appreciated … thank you so much! And here is your encore. Today's guest is Rishi Wadhera, MD, MPP. Dr. Wadhera authored a retrospective analysis in the BMJ about the HRRP, which we will talk about in this healthcare podcast. Dr. Wadhera is a cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He also has a master's in public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and also a master's in public health from the University of Cambridge. But here's the larger epiphany that pertains to all value-based care and all quality metrics which Dr. Wadhera brings up in this healthcare podcast and which my nerd heart could not love more: Goodhart's Law. This law is the root of so very many problems. Goodhart's Law is this (which I learned from Dr. Wadhera): “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” In other words, when we set a goal, people will try to take a shortcut to the goal, regardless of the consequences. And sometimes the consequences, paradoxically, are to do worse at the goal. Maybe because bean counters and admins and maybe even goal-oriented clinicians themselves will go right to the end goal, inadvertently skipping a whole bunch of (it turns out) rate-critical steps. For example, teaching to the test may not lead to students who deeply understand a subject. And anyone trying to achieve value-based care success, improve quality, form collaborations, or make sales might want to remember that old proverb, “Sometimes the shortest way home is the long way around.”   You can learn more at Dr. Wadhera's Harvard Catalyst profile and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Web site.   Rishi K. Wadhera, MD, MPP, MPhil, is an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, a cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), and the associate program director of the cardiovascular medicine fellowship at BIDMC. He is also health policy and equity researcher at the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology. Dr. Wadhera received his MD from the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine as well as an MPhil in public health as a Gates Cambridge Scholar from the University of Cambridge. He completed his internal medicine residency and cardiovascular medicine fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. During this time, he also received a master's in public policy (MPP) at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, with a focus on health policy. Dr. Wadhera's research spans questions related to healthcare access, quality, and disparities, as well as understanding how local, state, and national policy initiatives impact care delivery, health equity, and outcomes. Dr. Wadhera has published more than 80 articles to date, and he receives research support from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)   03:30 What was the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program intended to do? 05:22 Why did the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) think some readmissions were preventable? 06:02 “The spirit of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program was to incentivize hospitals to improve … discharge planning, transitions of care, and post-discharge follow-up and care.” 06:58 How has research in the last few years changed the thoughts on the effectiveness of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program? 08:16 “The 30-day readmission measure—it's an incomplete measure.” 11:48 “I think patients … are smart, and they know what's going on.” 13:34 “What's happening is, we're just increasing the number of times they need to come back to the ER within that 30-day period.” 13:55 “The weird thing about the HRRP is that when it evaluates hospitals' 30-day readmission rates, it's a yes-no phenomenon.” 15:03 “What CMS does is, it risk adjusts … and that is what we should be doing.” 18:30 “This program has been incredibly regressive.” 19:04 “Poverty, neighborhood disadvantage, housing instability—these factors are out of hospitals' control.” 21:50 “Blunt policies like this that are rolled out nationally probably elicit mixed behavioral responses.” 22:06 “It just makes no sense to take resources away from hospitals.” 22:32 EP295 with Rebecca Etz, PhD. 23:47 What's the way to improve quality of care globally? 25:37 “CMS's approach to improving quality of care has really anchored … [that] to payment.” 26:08 “It's time for us to rethink what our approach to quality improvement should be.” 29:22 “Policy makers have an obligation to rigorously test the impact of these types of policies before they roll them out nationally.” 31:41 Can you scale healthcare nationally?   You can learn more at Dr. Wadhera's Harvard Catalyst profile and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Web site.   @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission What was the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program intended to do? @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission Why did CMS think some readmissions were preventable? @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission “The spirit of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program was to incentivize hospitals to improve … discharge planning, transitions of care, and post-discharge follow-up and care.” @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission How has research in the last few years changed the thoughts on the effectiveness of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program? @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission “The 30-day readmission measure—it's an incomplete measure.” @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission “What CMS does is, it risk adjusts … and that is what we should be doing.” @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission “Blunt policies like this that are rolled out nationally probably elicit mixed behavioral responses.” @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission “It just makes no sense to take resources away from hospitals.” @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission What's the way to improve quality of care globally? @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission “It's time for us to rethink what our approach to quality improvement should be.” @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission Can you scale healthcare nationally? @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission   Recent past interviews: Click a guest's name for their latest RHV episode!

Leaders, and particularly middle managers, are constantly being challenged. While it's never been easy to navigate the needs of both the C-Suite and junior staff members, the past few years have created a slew of new priorities and pressures. From managing remote and hybrid teams and effectively implementing and supporting company DEI priorities to rallying staff during times of crisis and reducing team burnout, the growing complexity of being a manager today can quickly feel overwhelming. Now, more than ever, managers need to communicate clearly and strengthen workplace connections. And doing so, all starts with respect, according to Dr. Julie Pham. Dr. Pham, the best-selling author of 7 Forms of Respect: A Guide to Transforming Your Communication and Relationships at Work, and the founder of CuriosityBased, joins the podcast to explain how respect is communicated among individuals, teams, and organizations. In this episode, Dr. Pham guides us through the 7 Forms of Respect framework and shares how it is being used around the world to create more dynamic and highly productive workplaces, and how it can be applied by managers and leaders to articulate priorities, compromise effectively, and reinforce behaviors that support the shared work and goals of the team. Dr. Pham earned her PhD as a Gates Cambridge Scholar and her “real-life MBA” by running her family's Vietnamese-language newspaper during the 2008-10 recession.

Dr. Thomas V. Johnson III, M.D., Ph.D. (https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/profiles/details/thomas-johnson) is a glaucoma specialist and the Allan and Shelley Holt Rising Professor in Ophthalmology at Wilmer Eye Institute, at Johns Hopkins University. He is also a member of the Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) Repopulation, Stem cell Transplantation, and Optic nerve Regeneration (RReSTORe) consortium (https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/wilmer/research/storm/rrestore/index.html), an initiative focused on advancing translational development of vision restoration therapies for glaucoma and other primary optic neuropathies by assembling an international group of more than 100 leading and emerging investigators from related fields. Dr. Johnson received his BA (summa cum laude) in Biological Sciences from Northwestern University in 2005. As a Gates-Cambridge Scholar and an NIH-OxCam Scholar, he earned his PhD in Clinical Neuroscience from the University of Cambridge (UK) in 2010. He completed his medical training (AOA) at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 2014 and served as an intern on the Johns Hopkins Osler Medical Service prior to completing his ophthalmology residency and glaucoma fellowship at the Wilmer Eye Institute. Dr. Johnson's research interests are focused on understanding the pathophysiology of retinal and optic nerve neurodegenerative disorders, and on the development of neuroprotective and neuroregenerative therapies for these conditions. His doctoral thesis work evaluated intraocular stem and progenitor cell transplantation as a possible neuroprotective therapy for glaucoma. His research contributions have been recognized with a World Glaucoma Association Award nomination, the National Eye Institute's Scientific Director's Award, and the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology's Merck Innovative Ophthalmology Research Award. He also founded and served as director of the Student Sight Savers Program, a program that provides vision screening services to low-income residents of Baltimore, and helps them obtain access to clinical ophthalmological care. Presently, Dr. Johnson is interested in the neurobiological processes that lead to retinal ganglion cell death and dysfunction in glaucoma and other optic neuropathies. In particular, he seeks to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying axonal degeneration, dendrite retraction and afferent synapse loss, and cell body death in glaucoma. His goal is to utilize knowledge of these processes to develop targeted neuroprotective strategies to slow or halt RGC death and preserve vision for patients with glaucoma. He is also leading new investigations into the use of stem cell transplantation to achieve retinal ganglion cell placement, as a potential regenerative treatment for optic nerve disease, with a focus on anatomic incorporation of cell grafts, neurite growth and synapse formation, and electrophysiological retinal circuit integration.

“As a culture, how do we approach the environment? How do we approach the planet? Within our education systems are we emphasizing our arrogance? Or are we emphasizing our humility in the face of planetary-scale challenges? I think at the moment, from what I've seen in a number of countries, this huge focus on the natural sciences, hard science as a way of mastering nature. And perhaps less of a focus on social sciences, humanities that allow us to reflect a bit more deeply on our relationship more fundamentally with the planet.”Peter Sutoris, PhD is an anthropologist, educator, writer, filmmaker and development professional whose research examines the ways various societies imagine the future differently.

Life gets busy. Has Educated by Tara Westover been gathering dust on your bookshelf? Instead, pick up the key ideas now. If you don't already have the book, order it https://geni.us/ultralearning-book (here) or get the https://geni.us/young-free-audiobook (audiobook for free) on Amazon to learn the juicy details. StoryShots Summary and Analysis of Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover Tara Westover's Perspective https://geni.us/tara-westover (Tara Westover) is an American memoirist, essayist, and historian. Tara overcame immense childhood adversity to excel academically and become highly influential. In 2019, she was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people. Tara also has a solid academic record. She earned a Master's degree from the University of Cambridge as a Gates Cambridge Scholar. Plus, Tara was a visiting fellow at Harvard University in 2010. Subsequently, she returned to the University of Cambridge in 2014 to earn a doctorate in intellectual history. Part 1: An Unusual Childhood Childhood looks different for everyone. For some, it's a time of happiness and innocence as you play the day away. For others, it's more complicated. From a young age, Tara Westover knew her life was different. She was the youngest of seven children, and her parents intended to raise their family steeped in the Mormon religion. Additionally, the children were expected to help out on the family's rural farm. Living as Survivalists Tara enjoyed the carefree freedom of playing in nature and running through the hills of the nearby mountains. However, there was a reason the family lived on a rural farm. Tara's father, Gene, had overwhelming paranoia. Gene believed that the government's primary aim was to brainwash society and stray them away from God. This led Gene to raise the family as survivalists. Survivalists over-prepare with the expectation that the worst is inevitable.  Therefore, Tara and her siblings had to carry supplies with them at all times. Additionally, their parents advised them to run for the hills if the government's police ever came for them. Tara's supplies would include herbal medicines, as traditional medicine was considered evil by her family. Plus, she carried water purifiers, guns, knives, and long-lasting meals. This upbringing was so strict that Tara's grandmother once encouraged Tara to run away with her to Arizona. Tara's grandmother did not hold the same beliefs as Tara's parents. Tara thought long and hard about this proposition but eventually rejected the offer. As well as instilling fear in Tara and his other children, Gene also had extreme views on gender roles. Gene's Mormon beliefs encouraged him to believe that women should remain in the home as caregivers. Gene did let Tara's mother, Faye, work as a midwife. However, this was only because the role was an extension of her caregiving role as a woman. As Faye disagreed with traditional medicine, she took a holistic approach to medicine. Essentially, she was an herbalist.

“As a culture, how do we approach the environment? How do we approach the planet? Within our education systems are we emphasizing our arrogance? Or are we emphasizing our humility in the face of planetary-scale challenges? I think at the moment, from what I've seen in a number of countries, this huge focus on the natural sciences, hard science as a way of mastering nature. And perhaps less of a focus on social sciences, humanities that allow us to reflect a bit more deeply on our relationship more fundamentally with the planet.”Peter Sutoris, PhD is an anthropologist, educator, writer, filmmaker and development professional whose research examines the ways various societies imagine the future differently.

Our researcher of the month, Gates Cambridge Scholar, Stepheni Uh, talks to Dr Weston about her recent paper, which examines how teenagers at greatest risk of self-harming could be identified almost a decade before they self-harm. They discuss some distinct profiles of young people most likely to self-harm and look at significant risk factors, including a history of psychopathology, low self-esteem, poor parental mental health and lack of sleep. They also consider useful interventions.

Here's the context, friends: As you may have noticed over the past few episodes, we have been digging into value-based care here at Relentless Health Value corporate work-from-home headquarters. Many lessons have been learned, and it's important that we sit back and think hard every now and then about how we are going to use these learnings to improve. While this show tackles the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP)—and wow, I was glued to my seat during this interview—the show is really about more than that, which I'll get into in 30 seconds. But let's start here: HRRP was originally part of the Affordable Care Act in 2010. In 2012, HRRP began imposing penalties on hospitals with higher-than-expected 30-day readmission rates for three conditions: heart failure, myocardial infarction, and pneumonia. Spoiler alert: More recently, CABG, THA/TKA, and COPD were added to the list. So basically, if a patient is in the hospital for any of these six things and then is readmitted to the hospital for any reason within 30 days, penalties can happen. Today's guest is Rishi Wadhera, MD, MPP. Dr. Wadhera authored a retrospective analysis in the BMJ about the HRRP, which we will talk about in this health care podcast. His findings are fascinating and relevant on a number of levels.  Dr. Wadhera is a cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He also has a master's in public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and also a master's in public health from the University of Cambridge. Dr. Wadhera works on policy at the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology.  But here's the larger epiphany that pertains to all value-based care and all quality metrics which Dr. Wadhera brings up in this health care podcast and which my nerd heart could not love more: Goodhart's Law. This law is the root of so very many problems. Goodhart's Law is this (which I learned from Dr. Wadhera): “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” In other words, when we set a goal, people will try to take a shortcut to the goal, regardless of the consequences. And sometimes the consequences, paradoxically, are to do worse at the goal. For example, teaching to the test may not actually lead to students who deeply understand a subject. Here's another example, and Rebecca Etz, PhD, talks about this in EP295: If you want PCPs to do an amazing job managing diabetes, for example, the best measures are ones that quantify the doctor's relationship with the patient and the amount of trust between them. The second you start using their panel's average A1C as the performance metric, A1Cs at best don't improve. Why? Bean counters and admins and maybe even goal-oriented clinicians themselves will go right to the end goal, inadvertently skipping a whole bunch of (it turns out) rate-critical steps. It doesn't go well. It's like salespeople who try to close before they build a relationship. Time to goal counterintuitively is slower, and performance is poorer. Anyone building value-based care or quality programs might really want to include Goodhart's Law in their thinking. And anyone trying to achieve value-based care success, improve quality, form collaborations, or make sales might want to remember that old proverb, “Sometimes the shortest way home is the long way around.” You can learn more at Dr. Rishi's Harvard Catalyst profile and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Web site. Rishi K. Wadhera, MD, MPP, MPhil, is an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, a cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), and the associate program director of the cardiovascular medicine fellowship at BIDMC. He is also health policy and equity researcher at the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology. Dr. Wadhera received his MD from the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine as well as an MPhil in public health as a Gates Cambridge Scholar from the University of Cambridge. He completed his internal medicine residency and cardiovascular medicine fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. During this time, he also received a master's in public policy (MPP) at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, with a focus on health policy. Dr. Wadhera's research spans questions related to health care access, quality, and disparities, as well as understanding how local, state, and national policy initiatives impact care delivery, health equity, and outcomes. Dr. Wadhera has published more than 80 articles to date, and he receives research support from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). 03:10 What was the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program intended to do? 05:05 Why did the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) think some readmissions were preventable? 05:46 “The spirit of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program was to incentivize hospitals to improve … discharge planning, transitions of care, and post-discharge follow-up and care.” 06:54 How has research in the last few years changed the thoughts on the effectiveness of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program? 08:14 “The 30-day readmission measure—it's an incomplete measure.” 12:12 “I think patients … are smart, and they know what's going on.” 14:01 “What's happening is, we're just increasing the number of times they need to come back to the ER within that 30-day period.” 14:22 “The weird thing about the HRRP is that when it evaluates hospitals' 30-day readmission rates, it's a yes-no phenomenon.” 15:30 “What CMS does is, it risk adjusts … and that is what we should be doing.” 19:16 “This program has been incredibly regressive.” 19:51 “Poverty, neighborhood disadvantage, housing instability—these factors are out of hospitals' control.” 22:56 “Blunt policies like this that are rolled out nationally probably elicit mixed behavioral responses.” 23:12 “It just makes no sense to take resources away from hospitals.” 25:22 What's the way to improve quality of care globally? 27:19 “CMS's approach to improving quality of care has really anchored … [that] to payment.” 27:49 “It's time for us to rethink what our approach to quality improvement should be.” 31:28 “Policy makers have an obligation to rigorously test the impact of these types of policies before they roll them out nationally.” 34:05 Can you scale health care nationally?

In the eighteenth episode of Random Walks, I had a fantastic time conversing with Raghu Mahajan, who's currently a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University. Raghu won a Gold Medal at the International Physics Olympiad and went on to start an Undergraduate degree in Computer Science at IIT Delhi before transferring to MIT where he double majored in Mathematics and Physics. Prior to starting his PhD in Theoretical Physics at Stanford University advised by Sean Hartnoll, he completed Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at Cambridge University where he was a Gates-Cambridge Scholar. Raghu's research focuses on techniques used for strongly interacting field theories, with a view toward dynamics, holography, and quantum gravity. We indulge in a fascinating conversation about his three inspirational mentors: his father, Prof. Arvind Chauhan and Prof. Vijay Singh; getting taught by legendary professors and scientists at MIT; researching on string theory, black hole information paradox, and his time with the formidable group at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton; majoritarianism; the importance of funding fundamental research and fostering scientific temper in society; the ridiculous notion of science being an apolitical enterprise; and many more things!!
