Every clinic owner feels the financial squeeze at some point. The ones who get through it fastest are the ones who know exactly where to look - and what to do about it.In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben Lynch and Jack O'Brien unpack the patterns they see play out every year around end of financial year - the cash flow crunches, the freak-out meetings with accountants, the decisions that snowball. Jack walks through a practical framework for taking back control of your clinic costs starting today, from cleaning up your Xero data, to the 10% outstanding accounts benchmark every clinic should know, to the real difference between a cost and an investment. They also tackle the harder conversations - underperforming team members, when to get back on the tools yourself, leave policy disasters, and the $22,000 rostering saving one clinic owner found hiding in plain sight.If you're feeling the squeeze right now, this episode puts the control back in your hands.In This Episode You'll Learn:

Millions turn to social media every day for entertainment, advice and information - including health advice from artificially generated sources. Some of the videos appearing online were not created by real health experts, with plenty of content designed more around selling products over helping people answer their health questions. Misleading AI-generated health influencers are fake online personalities and computer-generated medical videos using deepfakes, fabricated doctor personas, and false product endorsements to sell unproven supplements. Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara explained further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the main concerns Kiwis have when planning out their retirements is the cost of getting old – especially when it comes to healthcare. Ed McKnight runs through a couple of the key things you need to take into consideration when it comes to health after retiring. Public is free, but you pay the price of waiting Over 36% of patients have waited more than four months for surgery The Government's target is 5%, which is why two-thirds of elective surgery in NZ now happens in private facilities (some of that is publicly funded). People wildly underestimate what private costs Most Kiwis think a hip replacement is under $10,000. It's about $27,700–$33,100. Prostate cancer surgery runs around $26,700–$32,300 and breast cancer surgery is around $9,400–$31,100. Ultimately, it's about quality of life. One Auckland man was quoted $165,000 for back surgery, couldn't pay, and sat at home on nine pain prescriptions until the public system took him. Insurance fixes that, but the premium quadruples by 65 Health insurance for a non-smoking office worker is about $170 a month at 35, but it's about $676 at 65. By 75 you're nearing $1,000 a month — over $100,000 across that decade. Over-65s claim more than three times what 35–49-year-olds do.

Can artificial intelligence restore humanity to my patient interactions? In this episode, Dr May Lin and Dr Brent Sugimoto explore how ambient scribing and smarter administrative tools free physicians to be truly present with their patients, allowing technology to become a bridge in patient care rather than a barrier. Our guests also tackle the ethical and policy dimensions of how AI affects family medicine in both the exam room and the classroom. They identify the current moment as an opportunity for residency programs to shape how AI is used in family medicine, emphasizing that if today's residents are not trained to use AI tools ethically and wisely, their future patients may miss out on the benefits of technology-assisted care.Hosted by Omari A.

He currently serves as co-chair of the AAFP/Rock Health “Advancing AI and Digital Health for Primary Care Initiative.” Brent ventured into artificial intelligence after the birth of his first child—when parenthood made him rethink the boundaries of his professional and personal lives—and co-founded a startup called Decoded Health, which leveraged technology from DARPA to build tools to make primary care sustainable. Since then, Brent has worked to increase family medicine's engagement in AI/ML as a potentially transformative and disruptive technology through physician education and policy work within the specialty. Brent is excited to be a member of this task force, as he believes health technology literacy will be a critical competency for future family physicians.

After more than two decades as a board certified OBGYN and over a decade as a specialist in sexual medicine and menopause, I have come to believe that one of the biggest obstacles in women's healthcare is not the absence of treatments or research. It is dismissal.This is not just something I see in my patients. I have lived it too. I share a story from my own birth experience that I have not talked about much publicly, and it changed how I think about what it means to navigate a system that was not built to listen to women. If it happened to me, someone who worked inside that system every day, I think about what it means for women who do not have the same access or the same voice.That is also what led me to write Brown Girls' Disease. The women who struggle most in this system are almost always the ones who have been told the longest that nothing is wrong, and I wrote this book for them. We talk about what is in it, who it is for, and why the title means so much more than it might seem at first.My mission has always been simple. I want women to feel seen, heard, and believed. This episode is about why that still matters so much.Highlights: Dismissal is one of the biggest obstacles in women's healthcare today.Why siloed medicine means women fall through the cracks.The story behind the phrase brown girls' disease.Why naming a condition can be part of patients healing.The movement to end dismissal in women's health.About the Book:Brown Girls' Disease: A Guide to Sexual Health and Empowerment Through a South Asian Lens by Dr. Sameena Rahman is available for pre-order now on Amazon, releasing October 6th.The book covers foundations of sexual health, the intersection of culture, religion, and colonization with sexual dysfunction, medical bias and implicit bias, trauma and mental health, and conditions including vaginismus, persistent genital arousal disorder, libido and arousal concerns, vulvodynia, perimenopause, menopause, and postpartum sexual health.Get in Touch with Me:WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstackPre-Order My Book

Alex Rampell and Olivia Moore speak with Lassie cofounders Steijn Pelle and Frédéric Renken about bringing AI to one of the most overlooked parts of the economy: small businesses. Inspired by time spent working inside dental practices, Pelle and Renken set out to automate the administrative work that keeps healthcare providers away from patients. They discuss how AI agents are changing billing, insurance claims, patient payments, and other operational workflows, allowing practices to spend less time on paperwork and more time delivering care. The conversation explores AI agents, software that performs work rather than simply storing information, onboarding AI into real-world businesses, and why healthcare administration offers one of the biggest opportunities for automation. Along the way, they discuss product design, go-to-market strategy, and what it takes to build AI systems that operate reliably in complex business environments.   Resources: Follow Steijn Pelle on X: https://x.com/steijnpelle Follow Frédéric Renken on X: https://x.com/fredericrenken Follow Alex Rampell on X: https://x.com/arampell Follow Olivia Moore on X: https://x.com/omooretweets Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Dr. Kellie Owens, is an assistant professor in the section of medical ethics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. She's a sociologist and empirical bioethicist studying how digital technologies are woven into the fabric of healthcare and society and how governance structures can better support those affected by technological change. She also leads the responsible AI review process for the Division of Applied AI Technologies and with the IRB. Part 1 Dr. Owens began by indicating that by AI, she means any computer system that's designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, which could be things like recognizing patterns, interpreting data, making predictions, or even making decisions. In the health care context, that means AI systems that analyze complex. medical data that assist with diagnosis or risk prediction that can help automate some routine processes.  She wants to talk mostly about the less fun side, the sort of limitations and potential harms that we have to be aware of to make sure that we're using this technology responsibly. Her focus today is on the people and process side of AI integration and not the technical side. Examples raised today focus specifically on health care implementation. She indicated that there are increasing calls from AI developers and users and regulators and folks in ethics to increase evidence standards for implementing new AI systems. The majority fall outside of FDA regulation, which means they really haven't undergone any formal review for safety and efficacy. The stated goals of ambient documentation, ambient scribes, are to give doctors more time with their patients or more time with their families. We are going to have to vigorously defend that time savings. Otherwise, that free time will be used in plenty of ways that don't touch the problem of physician burnout at all. She wants to be really intentional about how we think about time savings and efficiency regarding AI.

"We have an untapped army of 200,000 PAs that really could step up and drive some change in the healthcare system if we weren't restricted,” says Dr. Jennifer Kolb, capturing her motivation for pushing to update practice regulations for physician associates that date back more than 50 years.  As Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President of Clinical Affairs at the American Academy of Physician Associates, Dr. Kolb has been in the middle of the fight at the state and federal level to grant PAs more independence from physicians, full billing rights, and the increased ability to practice across state lines, among other changes.  In this pertinent conversation with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Kolb explains how these updates could help close huge gaps in access to healthcare, better manage the fight against chronic diseases and improve patient outcomes.   Dr. Kolb also addresses:  Why the name shift from "assistant" to "associate" took her years to fully appreciate; How a 10-year gap in life expectancy across Chicago zip codes shapes her view of health equity; Why PA's shouldn't wait for permission to start making change in their communities.

Today's episode of the Punk CX podcast features a chat I had with Sri Narasimhan, the VP of Enterprise Customer Experience and Insights at CVS Health, where he leads efforts to drive meaningful organisational changes based on customer, client, and patient feedback. We talk about a whitepaper that he recently co-authored with Simile CEO Joon Park on using generative agent simulations in health care, the problem they are solving with this new approach, whether that means they will no longer be doing research with ‘real' customers, how they have built their AI “agentic twins”, the impact of this approach and how their customers (patients) are responding to their use of AI. This interview follows on from my recent interview – Start with Strategy, Iterate Like a Band – Interview with Craig Crisler of SupportNinja – and is number 597 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.
