In this installment of in our Next Gen Journeys series featuring conversations with learners and early career practitioners in medical professions around the globe, we introduce you to Dr. Bradley Max Segal, a physician in the Department of Health, South Africa with a self-described passion for technology and innovation. Although he's only a few years out of medical school, Dr. Segal has worked extensively at the intersection of healthcare and data science to develop solutions to the challenges found in low resource health systems, often serving as a bridge between technical and clinical teams. “Oftentimes you have groups that are speaking a completely different language so the approach I take is about being aligned in terms of what the problem is, aligning the language and aligning the solution,” he tells Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith. Of course one of the biggest questions in healthcare regarding the use of technology is the role of AI.  On the plus side, Dr. Segal sees great potential for AI chatbots to be used as an extension of very limited clinical staff in under resourced areas leading to improved patient engagement and understanding of their health. He cautions, though, that providers need to develop the ability to discern the quality of the many AI tools that are coming their way at a fast pace. “I think the main skillset that's going to become increasingly relevant is the ability to understand how these systems are evaluated and where they can go wrong. Understanding how not to use them is oftentimes more important than when to use them.” Join us for an insightful conversation on the realities of deploying technology in healthcare especially in low-resource areas.Department of Health South Africa

In this episode, we explore the landscape of rural healthcare and the challenges and opportunities faced by healthcare providers and communities in non-urban areas. We engage in a discussion with two healthcare leaders who share their perspectives on the current state of rural healthcare, the impact of technology, and the importance of collaboration and innovation in ensuring access to quality care. Tune in to hear about the ecosystem behind healthcare delivery and discover how professionals are working to adapt to the changing needs of rural populations while striving to keep communities healthy. 

For a full transcript of this episode, . The episode today is somewhat of a follow-on to the show with Lauren Vela, which was about employer inertia. If we're talking about inertia, though, we'd be remiss not to get a little circumspect about the whole affair and subject some other stakeholders to our microscope. One of these stakeholders is EBCs (employee benefit consultants), practice leads, and brokers, which AJ Loiacono talked about in to some extent; so we can check that box at least for now. That leaves TPAs (third-party administrators), ASOs (administrative services onlys), and health plans. And this hotbed of inertia is what I talk about today with Elizabeth Mitchell from PBGH, the Purchaser Business Group on Health. Similar to earlier shows, one disclaimer is that I am using the TPA and ASO terms sort of interchangeably here. Again, TPA is third-party administrator, and ASO is administrative services only, which is generally the term used when an insurance carrier offers services to a plan sponsor, like a self-insured employer. And these services don't include insurance, because … self-insured. So, the services are administrative only. One point to make clear before we dive in, this conversation is not about these carriers/payers/health plans in general and what they may or may not be doing. This conversation is very specifically focused on how well are those entities helping jumbo employers deploy their health benefits. And first we talk about the role of a TPA or ASO, both in terms of what a jumbo employer might want them to be doing versus what they are often actually doing. Spoiler alert: What they are often actually doing is acting like a full-on health plan and charging as such, even if the health plan part is not what the self-insured employer wants or needs, especially when somebody figures out exactly how much additional is getting charged for those ancillary health plan services. Listen to the show with Justin Leader () for a bead on just a piece of the how much additional that gets baked into the weekly claims wires many self-insured employers get. Bottom line, right now, there's a gap in the market. What is needed are indie TPAs who are effective and efficient and not owned by a health plan because, if history is any predictor of the future, the second the TPA gets owned by a health plan, the TPA sort of ceases to be a TPA and becomes a health plan—with all the attendant bells and whistles that, a lot of times, an employer can't opt out of. And also, the whole not sharing data becomes a thing, both cost data and also quality data. Now, just because there's a gap in the market, does that mean all jumbo employers are paralyzed into inertia? Well, it makes it harder, for sure. But it's also a reason to start figuring out how to solve for a problem when it has as many zeros at the end of it as this problem has. Have you seen these lawsuits popping up all over the place and just the numbers that are involved? Aramark's lawsuit against Aetna is just one example. Not to single out just this one, but in the interest of time, let's talk about this one. Aramark, a big employer, alleged that since 2018, Aetna has taken more than $200 million from it to pay for medical services that should not have been paid out and retains millions of dollars in undisclosed fees. Mark Flores about this one the other day. Also, there was that Cigna lawsuit where an electrician's union health plan was surprised to learn that the fees charged by Cigna had risen from around $550,000 in 2016 to $2.6 million in 2019. That was from a New York Times . For more on stuff like this, follow Doug Aldeen and/or Chris Deacon on LinkedIn. They're a great resource. I'd also listen to the “Who's Suing Who?” episode with Chris Deacon, which was . Because of all of this, the conversation today with Elizabeth Mitchell pretty quickly gets into the shift toward direct contracting between employers and providers to improve access quality and outcomes. If you can't beat them, get ruthlessly practical is my takeaway. I have to say, I truly admire some of these HR folks and their leadership willing to do what it takes on behalf of protecting the people that work for them. Now, important side note: There are certainly some health plans at least trying here, so I don't want to imply otherwise. There are some interesting initiatives that are afoot at, I'm gonna say, usually regional health plans. Elizabeth Mitchell has talked about some of these and made this clear also elsewhere. Lastly, if you aren't familiar with the CAA, which comes up in the episode today, there's a show () on the Consolidated Appropriations Act, which is what CAA stands for. Elizabeth Mitchell, my guest today, currently serves as the president and CEO of the Purchaser Business Group on Health. PBGH members are really focused on innovating and implementing change. We talk about some of this innovation and implementation on the show today, and it is very inspiring. Stay tuned on this topic, given just the absolute need for TPA services like we discuss in the show that follows, and given the smart, innovative, action-oriented people who are affected—1 plus 1 equals … yeah. Stay tuned. Very, very lastly, I just want to give a shout-out and thanks to Brad Brockbank for posing some great questions, which I pretty much turned around and asked Elizabeth Mitchell in this healthcare podcast.

Listen in as Brian Lobley, the innovative CEO of Tango, joins me to unravel the complexities of post-acute care and its crucial role in patient recovery and healthcare economics. Brian shares his  journey from his Philadelphia roots to reshaping healthcare through technology (with a passionate nod to Philly sports teams along the way). We explore Tango's mission to revolutionize home-based care for seniors, especially within the Medicare Advantage space, and how this aligns with the growing preference for patients to recuperate in the comfort of their own homes, potentially reducing costly hospital readmissions.As the conversation unfolds, we examine the transformative potential of redirecting resources from financially strained hospitals to more community-centric and home-based healthcare services. We dissect the intricate balance between the need for accessible critical beds and the service demands of diverse patient demographics, encompassing Medicare Advantage, commercial insurance, Medicaid, and dual eligibles. I highlight the vital role of patient and caregiver engagement in the realm of home health, and Brian sheds light on the importance of effective communication and robust support throughout the continuum of care. Host David E.

In last week's episode, we discussed why technology is a non-negotiable tool for alleviating the workforce crisis. While we talked about many technologies, we didn't talk much about one of the most transformational forces in the healthcare industry today: Artificial Intelligence. There is so much buzz, and so much fear about the topic, that we wanted to dedicate an episode to it. In this episode host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites back fan-favorite guest Tom Lawry, a top thought leader on artificial intelligence, bestselling author, and the former head of AI for Microsoft. Last year, Tom was part of an award-winning Radio Advisory episode on bias and AI. In this episode, Rae and Tom will discuss frustrations, fears, and the wealth of opportunities that generative AI brings the healthcare industry. They also discuss myths around AI, and why leaders should stop worrying about existential threats and start imagining the existential opportunity this technology provides.
