One of the subjects we keep coming back to here on the Health Technology Podcast is healthcare inequities. COVID-19 revealed a lot of very stark racial inequities in our systems. And a lot of our podcast guests are out there doing the incredibly difficult work of addressing these disparities. Our podcast guest Marcus Whitney is one of them. Marcus created Jumpstart Nova in 2020 to fund historically underfunded Black startups. He was also a founding partner of Jumpstart Health Investors, CEO of Health Further conference, and co-founder of Trilliant Health. All that, and the best-selling author of “Create and Orchestrate”. In this episode, we discuss how to navigate the industry, and what lessons you can take from his amazing career. Do you have any thoughts? Please email us at hello@rosenmaninstitute.org. We post new episodes every Monday. “The Health Technology Podcast” is produced by Herminio Neto, hosted by Christine Winoto, and engineered by Andrew John Rojek

In this episode Marcus shares the story of his highly programmed upbringing in Brooklyn, New York, with significant sporting achievements somewhat hiding his challenges in conventional learning environment because he is and was a “learner by doing”. We hear how he was challenged by freedom of the world of university education: dropped out, dived into the world of hip hop and failed to make a go of this as a business. His onward journey demonstrates hard work, a series of steps forward and back, major moments of change as he moved from the world of blue collar waitering to being a junior developer, and developed self-awareness through years of therapy. We hear insights into why soccer could be the sport of the future, its important role in integration and civic pride, and his reasoning for forming a fund that only invested in health care startups in Nashville. His conclusion that you should explore that entrepreneurial itch if you have it so as not to die with regrets is one that will resonate with many. In his book Create and Orchestrate: The Path to Claiming Your Creative Power from an Unlikely Entrepreneur, as well as sharing the learnings from his entrepreneurial journey he sets out a framework of eight core concepts he argues that every entrepreneur needs when building their business. Four internal: Leadership, Finance, Operations, and Growth and four external, Product, Service, Sales and Marketing. They make sense for both a seasoned entrepreneur and are very useful for someone who hasn't yet started out on their journey.

You all remember Chris Chan - good friend of Health:Further and a former guest on the podcast. He is a healthcare entrepreneur and innovator in the best sense of both terms. Chris brings a unique and creative perspective to his work across healthcare, with his latest venture over at plif.us. We like Chris, so we asked him to guest host the show. His guest is Dr. Kyra Bobinet, a physician, entrepreneur, design thinker and behavior expert. She combines design principles with some serious neuroscience to help people change and adapt. It's an important intersection of skills in today's healthcare environment. Patients need to change, clinicians need to adjust their thinking and operations, and organizations need to change to new realities. Dr. Bobinet's work focuses on the individual, but it has implications for all aspects of our healthcare system. Check out her work at drkyrabobinet.com

As the retail industry looks for new ways to improve the shopping experience and manage consumer expectations around personalization, convenience, service and digital tools, the healthcare industry is learning to engage consumers for the first time. Historically a business-to-business industry, healthcare has not needed a deep understanding of consumer behavior. That foundation is shifting as care moves out of hospitals and individual patients begin having opportunities to act more like a true consumer. Health:Further has partnered with the Global Market Development Center to produce a track at the 2019 Selfcare Summit and look at these issues. GMDC CEO Patrick Spear joined us on the podcast to discuss the state of retail today, explain selfcare, and talk about the value of unconventional partnerships between the healthcare and retail industries. During the ​Rise of the Healthcare Consumer Track​ at the 2019 Selfcare Summit, produced by Health:Further, you will learn about opportunities for the healthcare and retail sectors to redefine how health is delivered based on these trends, particularly through new collaborative models that combine traditional clinical settings and retail. Through this track, healthcare providers will learn how to leverage the trend of care moving out of hospitals and towards patients-as-consumers for increased traffic, new revenue streams, and better overall health for society.

Professor Jackie Oldham is a physiology researcher, and academic by background. During the course of her work trying to bring her own innovations out of the lab and into the market, she “vowed that it would never be as difficult for anybody else.” That led her to join Health Innovation Manchester and the Oxford Road Corridor, where she is now the Director of Strategic Innovation. This week she was in Nashville as part of a UK trade delegation. During the course of their time here, Professor Oldham, along with Health:Further parent company Briovation, announced a partnership to facilitate transatlantic investment and acceleration of promising health and healthcare companies. Professor Oldham spoke with Health:Further CEO Marcus Whitney to discuss why Manchester is such an interesting, unique and exciting place to be involved in healthcare innovation.

Chris Chan is one of those people we need more of in healthcare. He's experienced and knowledgeable while also inherently unconventional. Which means he's perfectly positioned to look at both the "legacy" establishment and the new disruptors and find how they can all combine forces. In this conversation, Chris and Health:Further's David Shifrin talk about having a unique, unconventional perspective. They also look at: The impending golden age of healthcare Patient-centric data transparency (because how can you not talk about that?) Payment models and payment systems Employers' relationship with healthcare Incentives (for patients and the industry) And a lot more.

Some of Marcus Whitney’s projects: Jumpstart Foundry, a health innovation seed fund for great entrepreneurs. Jumpstart Capital, a health innovation venture fund for companies ready to scale. Health:Further, an inclusive community of people committed to a brighter future of health.  Nashville Soccer Club, Nashville's professional soccer club currently playing in the United Soccer League. The Unlikely Company, a public benefit corporation dedicated to inspiring and educating a new generation of entrepreneurs.  Show Notes: Visit us on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter 44:10 – Quick Fire Questions Marcus Whitney’s Audio Universe THIS WEEK: Think about ways you can use the internet as a way to broadcast your personal brand.

When we started Health:Further in 2015, it was with a belief that by bringing together a diverse group of people passionate about the future of healthcare, we could help to build bridges that would result in real relationships, partnerships and progress. We also felt that the pace of change in the industry was rather slow, and so gathering once a year to check in and see where things were felt adequate. That founding belief carried us through the growth of an event from a summit to a festival, and the development of an awesome community of people breaking ground on moving the industry forward. We felt like we were on top of things, and our festival could support the industry through its evolution to a more ideal state. Then 2018 happened. The pace of change accelerated, and we came to the conclusion that it was time for us to shift our focus from convening our community to taking direct action. Listen to Health:Further CEO Marcus Whitney, Chief Development Officer Steve Tremitiere, and Director of Research and Content David Shifrin, discuss where we've been and where we are heading starting today.

This is a crossover episode with David Shifrin from The Future of Health Podcast and Health:Further. We cover three main topics that have been coming up a lot on our podcasts:   Care Transitions Anytime a patient is moved from one care delivery location to another you need to have contextualized data exchange. If care coordinators don't have the right data, how could the patient? How can technology help educate patients and increase discharge instruction adherence? Telehealth for post-discharge follow-ups. Use telehealth for increased touchpoints and a better doctor-patient relationship. Bruce Greenstein former HHS CTO, says we must address high utilizers. When you fix big spenders, you free up money for innovation.   Clinical Decision Support How do you help providers be more effective at their job? A reliable, unbiased assistant to help evaluate data more quickly. Examples: ILÚM Health Solutions, VisualDX. Still skepticism around layering another CDS platform on top of an already problematic EHR platform. How do you design something that will fit into the business and the culture? The message is: this is a new way to deliver YOUR care. Binary Fountain – Analytics to find the most effective doctors. Align physicians with one another to encourage sharing of best practices but you need a solid culture to be able to have honest conversations. Dr. Jeff Thompson at Gundersen Health focused on their mission to foster their culture.   Business Realities, Culture, and the New Patient Journey Carrie Liken from Yext (appearing on bo/th podcasts) says the availability of data changes the way patients expect care delivery. The patient's digital expectations are set by Google and Amazon. Focus on your employees having the tools they need to do their job. Dig to find the incremental improvements. There are no silver bullets.    About David Shifrin I am a scientist, writer, and connector. I love data, but I know that it doesn't always speak for itself. Often, the difference between success and failure is a good narrative surrounding that data. My job is to create that narrative. At Health:Further, I produce, edit and curate content focused on healthcare innovation, working to build a community of people who share the goal of making healthcare accessible, affordable and sustainable. At Filament Life Science Communications, I help life science and healthcare companies create the marketing content they need to display their leadership and grow their audience. I also like three-item lists, with or without the Oxford comma. LinkedIn David Shifrin   About Health:Further Health:Further is an open community focused on the future of health. We are driven to pursue two difficult ideals: that health is a human right, and that health must be supported affordably and sustainably. We are providers, payers, politicians and practitioners. We are investors, innovators, artists and activists. We are all patients, and together, we will create the ideal future of health.

Niko Skievaski, Co-Founder of Redox, is a good friend of Health:Further. He and his team, and the Redox brand in general, know how to have fun in a wild, challenging industry while solving some big big problems. The main problem they're working on is fragmentation and lack of standardized data across healthcare. Redox allows vendors to quickly connect to different platforms, EHRs, and the like. This means vendors can rapidly deploy their applications without having to worry about how well it'll play with other software. On the provider side, the value to being able to quickly tie different pieces of software together should be pretty clear. For more, check out the Health:Further page here.

Dr. Michael Genovese is the Chief Medical Officer of Acadia Healthcare. Our conversation comes at time when we at Health:Further are spending more and more time looking at behavioral and mental health from numerous angles. Clinician shortages and reimbursement challenges have put pressure on patients, providers and the healthcare system in recent years. Critically, though, is the fact that mental and physical health issues typically go hand in hand - making us wonder why there is a distinction at all. We talk about this with Dr. Genovese, and he offers his thoughts on providing integrative care - literally, integrating all aspects of a person to help them reach the healthiest state possible. And, as we often do on the podcast, we also talk about organizational leadership and culture, both at Acadia specifically and in healthcare in general.

This episode is a live recording from a panel discussion which varies from our traditional style of interviewing a guest, but I wanted to share about an interesting conference held in Nashville every year called Health:Further. This year (August 2018) I was lucky enough to be on one of the most popularly attended sessions titled “Debating Medical Cannabis.” Health:Further is a festival that brings attendees that are the best and brightest leaders in healthcare, from clinicians to investors, executives to entrepreneurs. Health:Further keynote speakers included the CEO of HCA, the Editor-in-Chief of LiveStrong.com, the VP of Health & Wellness Transformation at Walmart.

Andrew Rainey is the Executive Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development at Binary Fountain. Elizabeth Davis, the manager of online marketing at HCA Healthcare, works closely with Andrew and Binary Fountain as a client. In this conversation, recorded at Health:Further 2018, we talk about why reputation management isn't just clicking three out of five stars and walking away. In healthcare, reputation management means collecting and responding to feedback in near-real time to improve patient experiences. It's also collecting information over time to see which individuals or departments are performing well, and which ones might need some help. Davis and Rainey touch on a common theme, which is that healthcare organizations aren't competing against each other for patient satisfaction, but companies in other sectors like retail. Customers expect high-quality service and quick responses to problems, so a strong online marketing and reputation management system is important for hospitals, physician practices, and clinics.

This episode was recorded on August 28 at the 2018 Health:Further Festival. Our guest, Michael Ramey, is a Principal at PYA, an accounting and consulting firm with offices across the country and deep expertise in the healthcare industry. PYA is a long-standing sponsor and partner of Health:Further. Michael provides transaction advisory services, strategic planning, business valuation, fair market value compensation analysis, and related consulting services for hospitals, healthcare systems, physician practices, and healthcare information technology companies for purposes of facilitating mergers and acquisitions, performing due diligence, acquiring physician services, and pursuing joint ventures.  His primary areas of expertise are in transaction support, due diligence, valuation, financial analysis, and post-merger integration. Although we've covered the topic of consolidation before, Michael is really the first person we've talked to for the podcast who is working directly in the arena of healthcare consolidation. In this conversation, we discuss the overall healthcare landscape in terms of consolidation, who's doing what (lots of private equity), and areas where Michael is seeing a lot of interesting activity (urgent care).

Erik Wagner is Senior Director of Provider Strategy, Healthcare and Life Sciences at Salesforce, one of sponsors at Health:Further 2018. Erik has about three decades of experience in healthcare, working in multiple areas that all tend to revolve around healthcare IT. So he has a great understanding of what the digital side of healthcare looks like these days. In this conversation, we talk about the state of health IT in general, why a lot of supposedly consumer-friendly platforms (like patient portals) don't work, and the difference between just "checking boxes" and actually designing to engage people. Erik also talks about how Salesforce is used in the healthcare industry to solve some of these problems and give providers insight into the patients coming through their doors. It's patient engagement in real time. Check out the whole thing on the Health:Further blog here.

We're recording at the 2018 Health:Further festival! Chip Blaufuss is the Vice President of Strategy and Innovation at HCA Healthcare, the presenting sponsor of Health:Further. Chip heads up innovation at the largest healthcare organization in the country - one of every 20 babies born in the US is born in an HCA facility. So how does such a large company keep new ideas flowing? What happens when a nurse on the floor has an idea for solving a problem? How does leadership vet and test those solutions? Where is the balance between internal and external innovation, where do partnerships in healthcare come in to play? We discuss all of that in this conversation

Waller Law is a long-standing partner of Health:Further, and we are proud and grateful to have had the chance to work with them over the past several years. I recently sat down with Jesse Neil and John Haubenreich, attorneys who work at the intersection between healthcare, policy and regulation. They help clients navigate the complexities of our ever-evolving healthcare system, working on compliance and handling investigations when they arise. Our conversation touched on a number of topics, ranging from current regulatory issues to how to approach a lawyer for help.

Marcus Whitney, Nashville, TN-based investor, entrepreneur, and president of Briovation talks about blockchain and emerging developments in health technology.  Briovation is a healthcare catalyst and the parent company of Jumpstart Capital (seed funding) and Jumpstart Foundry (mentor-driven accelerator for healthcare startups) and the Health: Further Festival held in Nashville late August and draws more than 2,500 healthcare leaders, investors, and innovators all focused on driving digital transformation in healthcare. Briovation recently announced its new umbrella initiative, Tokenizing Health, focused on analyzing, investing in, and providing open-source blockchain technology to healthcare companies nationwide to nurture innovation and create unity within the space. The Tokenizing Health announcement also includes the public launch of Solaster, Briovation’s first health blockchain invention. On today's tech podcast, Marcus also talks about the following topics: Blockchain’s impact on healthcare including Briovation’s effort to analyze, invest in and provide blockchain technology to healthcare companies nationwide. How blockchain will enable peers to transact directly with one another to develop an optimized, efficient health system. The most important peers in Briovation's view of the health economy are the patient and the provider. How a world where patients as customers, health care providers and the necessary value-adding services around patient / provider interactions, can transact (financially, data, bartering etc.) in a safe, trusted manner without having to rely on third parties. Why and how public, permissionless blockchains will transform health over the next ten years to be truly decentralized, consumer-centric and efficient. Marcus also reveals why the time is right for a new type of healthcare conference, why Nashville the ideal location and how Health: Further is designed to create new stakeholder networks that can improve patient care.  

Everyone has a health story. If you haven't been a patient, someone close to you has. Each situation is different, a unique combination of factors ranging from a single genetic variation to the social, cultural and physical environment. At the same time, many of the processes and technologies used to prevent these situations - and treat them when they occur - are standardized. And in most cases, we only get to see part of the story. Even when we're the patient, there are pieces of the process that remain unclear. We only get parts of the history of our disease; the genetic basis for our condition is confusing and often obscure; we don't get a clear look at the people and companies working on new treatment options. With Contributing Factors, Health:Further is pulling back that curtain. We'll be talking to clinicians, historians, economists, biomedical researchers, entrepreneurs, sociologists, investors and, most importantly, patients. Contributing Factors, Season 1: Depression, launches March 1. Join us as we explore the (whole) story of health.

Ryan Wilson is the Chief Growth Officer & SVP of Sales at ‎Brookdale Senior Living. Part of the “growth” in his title is figuring out how to find, develop and implement innovations in the world of senior living. Put another way, he works to be a healthcare entrepreneur within a large healthcare organization. In that capacity, and in the interest of transparency, he is one of Health:Further's Innovation Partners. But aside from our relationship, Ryan's role means that he has to think creatively about what innovation in healthcare means and how to do it. He has over 100,000 residents at Brookdale facilities, with 80,000 employees. So it's a massive challenge. Under all the talk you'll hear about healthcare marketing, corporate culture, employee engagement, defining and engaging the end user, was Ryan's mandate to - as he says - do the right thing. So it's providing content that is helpful to people making decisions, even when that content isn't high tech. It's helping families make decisions, it's bringing in residents to help guide the Brookdale innovation team in what's needed to make their lives even better. It's empowering employees to be great at their jobs and work with integrity.

Steven Collens is CEO of MATTER, a Chicago healthcare community and startup incubator. Steven, and the team at MATTER, work from an assumption that collaboration between healthcare industry and healthcare startups is the best way to make progress on the challenges we're facing in healthcare. This, we're hearing from more and more people, is the way forward. It's a perspective we wholeheartedly agree with at Health:Further. Steven makes a good point about two-thirds of teh way through that entrepreneurs aren't going to blow up the healthcare industry. There is still a structure in place, so it's evolving that and finding useful solutions, particularly with the new mindset of value-based care. Also, he makes some interesting comments at the end about the trends in healthcare, making it less episodic and more continuous. It seems like that is, in fact, a good way to move us more towards a model of health and wellness rather than just delivery of medical care.

Daniel Hart is the President of the YourCare Universe at MEDHOST. Medhost/YCE was a sponsor of Health:Further this year. Daniel stopped by to talk about their new product, YourCareEverywhere, but more importantly, why it's needed. In short, it's due to fragmentation and silos in healthcare. We need a way to look at all the useful health data in one place in order to make good decisions about our health and the care that we pursue. It's definitely not the first time we've heard it on this podcast - bringing healthcare tools up to the level that other consumer tools currently exist at. Namely, making them simple, integrated, customized and actionable.

Today we hear from a physician entrepreneur. Someone who saw a problem in healthcare during residency and built a solution to solve it. YiDing Yu is the co-founder of Twiage, which has a platform that coordinates care in real time between emergency responders, medical teams and hospitals. Twiage was one of 36 companies that participated in the Health:Further 2017 Pitch Competition, and they came away with the win. In the first half of the conversation we talk about Twiage and its platform. In the second half we talk about YiDing's experience as a physician entrepreneur - what it's looked like for her to build and lead a company with her co-founder, get a team together, and create a healthtech product that can have a significant impact on both individual patients and the health system as a whole.

Empathy is a term that's batted around in healthcare a lot these days. It's part of the push to get back to a patient-centric view of health and healthcare. The idea is to understand where patients are coming from to help create experiences within the healthcare system that will meet their needs more effectively and improve patient engagement. So Marquise Stillwell of Openbox, Marcus Whitney of Health:Further, and John Farkas of Golden Spiral Marketing sat down for a live podcast at Health:Further 2017 to talk about empathy, design, and the patient experience. Except, that's not exactly how it went. Instead, the three of them challenged the idea of empathy and took the conversation in a direction that no one really expected. There's something in there for everyone - patients, physicians, entrepreneurs, designers and more.

Part 2. Founded in 2013, Music Health Alliance's mission is to “Heal the Music.” MHA seeks to improve music professionals' access to care by providing a range of healthcare and financial services. When medical bills constitute the leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States and 76% of music professionals lack insurance coverage, being a patient can be a frightening and debilitating experience for musicians. From writing grants on behalf of patients to negotiating medical bills to providing premium assistance to connecting music professionals to community resources, MHA stops at nothing to secure solutions for its clients. Here, Tatum Allsep, MHA Founder and CEO, talks about the personal experience she had that led to building a healthcare advocacy organization to ensure musicians can obtain and afford medical care. She also talks about a new partnership with Health:Further for the annual Health:Further Festival in Nashville.

How do you take healthcare innovation into business as usual practices? Joining me on Get Social Health is Andre Blackman, a member of the Jump Foundry team and Producer for Health:Further. This program that brings healthcare innovators together with healthcare professionals to figure out how to implement innovative products, services, and ideas in real-world businesses. Health:Further You know, healthcare innovation is a lot like the weather, everybody talks about it but nobody does anything about it. That may be stretching the metaphor a bit but, seriously doesn’t it seem that awful lot of innovation never quite gets into practice in a healthcare setting? In our conversation Andre and I start with his You know, healthcare innovation is a lot like the weather, everybody talks about it but nobody does anything about it. That may be stretching the metaphor a bit but, seriously doesn’t it seem that awful lot of innovation never quite gets into practice in a healthcare setting? In our conversation Andre and I start with his previous podcast topic, the Sustain or Die Manifesto. Andre developed this idea a few years ago to inspire others to think about taking healthcare innovation into practice. In his new role with Health:Further, Andre is responsible for creating events that bring together digital health innovators and the healthcare see suite to talk about how you can use innovations in a practical real world setting.
