As mentioned last Tuesday, Mina Hsiang, administrator of the U.S. Digital Service, is one of the many technology officials who will depart federal service with the forthcoming change in administrations later this month. Hsiang, a longtime government digital services leader, was tapped to lead USDS at the beginning of the Biden administration and has now seen that role through to the term's end. In the second part of a two-part exit interview with FedScoop reporter Caroline Nihill, Hsiang gives her closing thoughts as she wraps up her time at the helm of the government's technology tiger team. In the headlines today: A draft cybersecurity executive order would tackle cyber defenses in locations ranging from outer space to the U.S. federal bureaucracy to its contractors, and address security risks embedded in subjects like cybercrime, artificial intelligence and quantum computers. The draft, a copy of which CyberScoop obtained, constitutes one big last stab at cybersecurity in the Biden administration's eleventh hour. The order is follow-up to an order published in the first year of his presidency, The new order gives agencies 53 deadlines, stretching in length from 30 days to three years. Also: The Department of Health and Human Services has three new officials to lead its artificial intelligence, technology and data work. According to biographies posted HHS, Alicia Rouault is the department's new associate deputy assistant secretary for technology policy and chief technology officer, Kristen Honey is the department's chief data officer, and Meghan Dierks is the chief artificial intelligence officer. The three new officials join the department after it announced a reorganization of its health, data, AI and cyber portfolios in July. As part of those changes, the chief technology, data and AI roles moved from the department's Assistant Secretary for Administration, where the Office of the Chief Information Officer is housed, to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.

A Virtuous Cycle: When Will We Finally Have Learning Health Systems?

Informatics in the Round

What exactly is a “learning health system”? In several of our episodes, you've heard us talk about how data collection has modernized through new technologies and enhanced approaches to clinical trials. But now that we have all that data, we need to transform it into clinical practice. Learning health systems are all about completing this virtuous cycle from scientific discovery to implementation, and yet, there are few that exist and work well. In this episode, you'll hear us discuss (and perhaps debate) what a true learning health system looks like, as well as how informatics can help lead the charge. Up first on our panel of distinguished guests is Dr. Genevieve Melton-Meaux, a Professor of Surgery and Senior Associate Dean of Health Informatics and Data Science at the University of Minnesota. Among her many accolades, she is a Past President of the American College of Medical Informatics, current President of the American Medical Informatics Association, and Director for the Center of Learning Health System Sciences at Minnesota. Her research focuses on clinical natural language processing, surgical informatics, and optimizing AI best practices. We were also joined by Dr. Chuck Friedman, a Professor of Medical Education and Chair of the Department of Learning Health Sciences at the University of Michigan Medical School. He is also the editor-in-chief of the open-access journal Learning Health Systems. Drawing from his time at the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology in the U.S. Department for Health and Human Services, he helped transform Michigan's medical education department into one of the first in the nation to focus on learning health at all levels, including large-scale information infrastructure. Finally, we had Dr. Peter Embí, Professor and Chair of the Department of Biomedical Informatics and Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Prior, he served as President and CEO of the Regenstrief Institute, a not-for-profit health care research organization in Indianapolis, Indiana that seeks to develop, conduct, and disseminate scientific research across communities. A Past President of the American Medical Informatics Association, his research centers on data-driven learning health systems. We are also pleased to share an original learning health systems “anthem,” composed by Molly Sinderbrand, called “System Problems Need System Solutions.” In our jazzy rendition, it was performed by pianist Phil Barrison and our very own Kevin Johnson on vocals!

Regulation establishes a standardized process that aids providers in consistently delivering quality care. However, it's crucial that regulations serve to support both patients and providers, rather than impede them. Achieving this delicate balance is the order of the day. So, how can we effectively regulate AI and other emerging technologies to advance patient care without stifling innovation? On this Digital Health Leaders podcast recorded at ViVE, Russ Branzell, CHIME's President and CEO, pulls insights on some key digital health challenges from Micky Tripathi, Ph.D., M.P.P., National Coordinator for Health Information Technology at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Troy Tazbaz, Director of Digital Health at the Food & Drug Administration. The trio chats about shaping the future of health information technology; they reflect on how far we've come and the standardization process; now that we're consistently collecting patient data, how do we make sense of it? All agree that generative AI is going to be a critical component of care delivery but concerns over labor shortages might be even more important. Because if you don't have medical professionals in the field, it doesn't matter what you've done in other areas… Listen to this episode for additional insights on the HTI-1 rule, the challenges and the future of AI, balancing innovation with regulation, and more.

EP435: Optimized Pharmacy Benefits Are Required if You Want to Do or Buy Value-Based Care, With Dan Mendelson

Relentless Health Value

Play Episode Listen Later May 2, 2024 35:25 Transcription Available

For a full transcript of this episode, click here. This conversation I am having with Dan Mendelson, my guest today, all started with a post that he had written on LinkedIn considering how pharmacy benefits can or should be optimized within the broader context of value-based care. Total cost of care, value-based medical care, and pharmacy benefits—these worlds have to collide. There is just so much intertwined into all of this, which is why I pretty much immediately invited him to come back on the pod to discuss in greater detail. A few years ago, I heard a doctor say that practicing medicine without considering pharmacy is like getting to the 90 yard line, putting down the ball, and walking off the field. And, yeah … when a patient gets to a certain point in a whole lot of disease progressions, optimal medical therapy includes pharmacy. It's a thing. Adherence is a thing. In fact, I saw a stat the other day that patients not taking their meds costs an estimated $3874 PEPY (per employee per year). Also, half of all hospital admits are caused by nonadherence. Those two stats, by the way, are from a post on LinkedIn by Brian Bellware, who was recapping a video from Eric Bricker, MD. But also, as Barbara Wachsman (EP430) said on the show, half, I think she said, of all ER visits are due to patients not taking their meds right. Olivia Webb (EP337) was on the pod, if you want to go back and listen to that one, talking about how she spends hours every month trying to figure out how to navigate access issues to manage to get her Crohn's disease drug. So, yeah … one underlying reason why a lot of this stuff happens is that pharmacy benefits are purchased and siloed a lot of times. In fact, I have yet to see, really, any mainstream contract wherein a PBM (pharmacy benefit manager) is held accountable in any way for downstream medical costs, which may be incurred because of suboptimal pharmacy benefit design, right? And there are so many examples of bad downstream medical impacts. I really like how Mark Fendrick, MD, put it in episode 308. He said benefits, including pharmacy benefits, are like peanut butter and jelly relative to enabling high-quality care. You gotta have both working in concert, like CMS or a plan sponsor just paid a ton of money to get a patient an organ transplant, and then the patient can't afford their transplant meds, which aren't on formulary and are really expensive, and therefore there's organ rejection. This happens. Or a patient with uncontrolled diabetes with a huge co-pay for insulin. Doctor says, “Hey, you gotta take your insulin.” Patient says, “Can't afford it.” Right? This makes no sense, and it's shockingly common. I'm thinking right now of that young man who died in the Midwest because he could not get his asthma inhaler. It wasn't on formulary. So, here's the game plan. I talk with Dan about the five kind of vital considerations he had brought up in that aforementioned LinkedIn post when considering how pharmacy benefits can or should be optimized within the broader context of value-based care. Dan's advice for the pharma industry is woven in here as much as his advice for EBCs (employee benefit consultants) and employers. I am sure that most of our listeners are going to be very familiar with Dan Mendelson, my guest today, and his work; but the quick background here is that he runs Morgan Health. The mission over there at Morgan Health is to drive innovation in employer-sponsored healthcare, and they do that by investing and working with their portfolio companies in the context of the 300,000 or so employees over at JPMorgan Chase. At the same time, Morgan Health also engages in policy discussions because, as Dan says, no one employer is going to control public policy. As a footnote here, I just will say that I actively seek out opportunities to listen to Dan Mendelson's thoughts. He has spoken a lot and really eloquently and with great insight about setting up the economic models for healthcare, not sick care. Recently, actually, he was on a panel at the Milken conference along with Natalie Davis; Yele Aluko, MD, MBA; and Henry Ting, MD. There are definitely insights to be gleaned. Also mentioned in this episode are Brian Bellware, CIC, CHVP; Eric Bricker, MD; Barbara Wachsman; Olivia Webb; Mark Fendrick, MD; Natalie Davis; Yele Aluko, MD, MBA, FACC, FSCAI; Henry Ting, MD; Ashok Subramanian; Rik Renard; Nina Lathia, RPh, MSc, PhD; Don Berwick, MD; Kenny Cole, MD; Steve Pearson, MD, MSc; Sarah Emond; Alex Sommers, MD, ABEM, DipABLM; and Jodilyn Owen. You can learn more at the Morgan Health Web site and follow Dan on LinkedIn. Dan Mendelson is the chief executive officer of Morgan Health at JPMorgan Chase & Co. He oversees a business unit at JPMorgan Chase focused on accelerating the delivery of new care models that improve the quality, equity, and affordability of employer-sponsored healthcare. Mendelson was previously founder and CEO of Avalere Health, a healthcare advisory company based in Washington, DC. He also served as operating partner at Welsh Carson, a private equity firm. Before founding Avalere, Mendelson served as associate director for health at the Office of Management and Budget in the Clinton White House. Mendelson currently serves on the boards of Vera Whole Health and Champions Oncology (CSBR). He is also an adjunct professor at the Georgetown University McDonough School of Business. He previously served on the boards of Coventry Healthcare, HMS Holdings, Pharmerica, Partners in Primary Care, Centrexion, and Audacious Inquiry. Mendelson holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Oberlin College and a Master of Public Policy (MPP) from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. 04:50 How do we connect the dots between value-based care and pharmacy benefits? 07:43 Where do things need to go for employers in terms of drug spend integration? 08:42 How do we think about having a value-based component in the decision-making process? 09:44 How do we enable the necessary information to make proper decisions? 10:56 EP206 with Ashok Subramanian. 11:21 “Many payviders just haven't gotten to pharmacy yet; they need to.” 14:14 Why do pharmaceutical companies need to be prepared to contract on the basis of value? 16:46 EP426 with Nina Lathia, RPh, MSc, PhD. 17:36 EP431 with Kenny Cole, MD. 18:07 Why is it important to “let the market work”? 21:04 Why do we have cost sharing, and when does it not make sense to have that as a co-pay? 23:59 Why are evidence requirements good for everyone? 28:45 Why is pooling of risk important? 29:49 How do you pool risk without going to an insurance company? 32:03 What is Dan's advice to hospitals? 33:30 “In a value-based world, buy and bill does not make sense.” 33:36 What is Dan's advice to primary care doctors? 33:54 What is Dan's advice to entrepreneurs and innovators?

In 2009, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, wow, that's a mouthful, more commonly known as the HITECH Act, spent billions to promote the uptake of electronic health records by US hospitals. Fast forward more than a decade later, and now approximately four out of five healthcare institutions have electronic health record systems in place that integrate clinical notes, test results, medications, diagnostic images, et cetera. The adoption of EHR systems into healthcare introduces new and exciting opportunities to extract information that can be used to augment other types of data for research. As you might imagine though, it can be tricky to pull out meaningful information from the text of clinical notes. In this episode, we'll speak with a University of Michigan researcher, Dr. Vinod Vydiswaran, who's been developing methods to identify dementia from EHR data.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech Daily, the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in the Pharma and Biotech world. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has allowed Amgen's $28 billion acquisition of Horizon to proceed, with conditions. This settlement may ease concerns about regulatory hurdles for future deals in the industry. However, FDA documents suggest that Sage's depression drug, zurzuvae, may face challenges in obtaining broad approval due to concerns about side effects. On a positive note, Roche has claimed success in a study for its targeted lung cancer drug, Alecensa, with unprecedented results. This could make Alecensa the first treatment specifically available after surgery for ALK-positive lung tumors.In terms of investment, Julie Yoo from venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz believes that the healthcare industry is at an inflection point and compared it to the internet era of 1999. Biotech mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity is also picking up again, with Amgen's acquisition of Horizon set to become the largest industry deal since AstraZeneca's buyout of Alexion. Drug pricing in the US is also a trending topic, with launch prices steadily rising in certain therapeutic areas like cancer.Moving on to policy news, the Biden administration has proposed new nursing home staffing minimums to improve the quality of care in these facilities. Walgreens CEO Roz Brewer is stepping down and will be replaced by an executive with "deep healthcare experience." Amir Dan Rubin, CEO of One Medical, is also resigning from his position. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology has chosen the Sequoia Project to oversee the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) once again.In other updates, Roz Brewer's sudden departure from Walgreens has left many wondering about the reason behind it. Psycheceutical is developing a topical delivery technology for ketamine, which could have broader implications for other drugs. Ketamine has shown promise in treating mental health conditions such as treatment-resistant depression. J&J's Spravato, an FDA-approved drug for treatment-resistant depression, is administered nasally, but clinicians believe that intravenous ketamine is more effective. Psycheceutical aims to explore the potential relief provided by applying ketamine topically on the back of the neck.The rare disease market has seen significant growth in recent years, with pharmaceutical companies exploring treatments for these conditions. Ketamine's effectiveness in battling mental health conditions is being recognized, shifting its perception from a party drug to a potential therapeutic option. The text also mentions upcoming events and recent articles on various topics.In regulatory news, the FTC has given clearance for Amgen's acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics, subject to certain restrictions. Alvotech has resubmitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA seeking an interchangeable designation for its biosimilar of Humira. Lawmakers have called on Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi to provide details on their insulin assistance programs. Alkermes has settled a patent lawsuit with Teva over the generic version of Vivitrol. Biontech and DualityBio are moving their antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) into Phase III trials for HER2-low breast cancer.Lastly, Bayer has reported positive early data for a Parkinson's cell therapy treatment it acquired in 2019. Epigenic, a Chinese startup, has raised funds to use CRISPR tools to edit the epigenome and alter gene expression without changing DNA. Catalent, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), is expanding its board and setting up a committee to review its business and capital allocation priorities. Several biotech companies have made advancements in constructing small-molecule drugs to target RNA, revolutionizing the industry.These developments highlight significant activities in the p

Yesterday, globalists at the European Union and World Health Organization unveiled a “landmark digital health partnership” to “facilitate global mobility and protect citizens across the world from on-going and future health threats.” We're promised, moreover, that “This first building block of the WHO Global Digital Health Certification Network…will… deliver better health for all.” Actually, what you'll get with this “health partnership” is international aggregation of your personal data, surveillance, control and abuse. Even before that dark day arrives, as Dr. Robert Malone has pointed out, bureaucrats in the “Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology” have already launched a “National Digital Health ID” here, without a debate or voters' informed consent.
