Vasanta Pundarika built her career inside healthcare investment banking before launching Lotuspring, an advisory firm focused on women's health and behavioral health. She spent nearly 20 years advising healthcare systems, treatment providers, and growth stage companies on mergers, financing, and operational strategy while watching the industry repeatedly misunderstand the people it claimed to serve.The conversation starts unexpectedly with anthropology, bread, and language. Vasanta explains how she spent years changing the pronunciation of her own name to make other people comfortable before eventually reclaiming it. That thread opens into a much larger discussion about adaptation, identity, and what institutions quietly train people to tolerate.From there, the discussion moves into behavioral health, women delaying care, and the invisible labor that healthcare business models routinely ignore. During COVID, Vasanta noticed men's behavioral health units refilled faster than women's units. The reason had nothing to do with demand. Women were still home managing caregiving responsibilities, children, aging parents, and households while their own mental health collapsed in the background.The episode examines what happens when healthcare companies become “snazzy big brands” before building real clinical substance underneath. Vasanta describes the tension between mission and margin inside healthcare startups, private equity backed care models, and behavioral health expansion. The conversation pushes on who benefits when healthcare scales aggressively, who absorbs the operational pressure, and how patient trust erodes long before executives notice it on a dashboard.They also discuss patient advocacy culture, anthropology as systems analysis, healthcare capitalism, prior authorization, investor language, and why some clinically excellent companies never survive long enough to scale.RELATED LINKSVasanta PundarikaLotuspringWomen's Health HorizonsSakhi for South Asian SurvivorsNACDPrinceton University Anthropology DepartmentFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Send us Fan MailAmerican healthcare spends an estimated $110 per member per month just to administer itself, before a single service is ever delivered. Most of that cost exists because health data still cannot move freely between the systems that need it.Michael Meucci, CEO of Arcadia, joins host John Driscoll to discuss why two decades of interoperability policy have failed to solve the data fragmentation problem facing health systems and payers, and why liberating that data and redirecting the administrative spend it currently requires could be the single biggest lever available for improving both the cost and quality of American healthcare.

Brad Power spent years advising major corporations on systems design, process engineering, and decision making before lymphoma shoved him into the patient side of American healthcare. Instead of accepting the experience at face value, he started reverse engineering the machinery around cancer itself. Brad is the founder of Cancer Patient Lab and Open Cancer AI, two projects built around a blunt reality most patients discover too late: the healthcare system rewards people who know how to navigate it. Everyone else risks getting steamrolled by information asymmetry, insurance barriers, administrative friction, and institutional incentives designed around efficiency instead of human survival.The conversation starts with Harvard Business Review and Tumblr blogs before moving directly into the darker architecture underneath modern cancer care. Power explains how hospitals optimize for throughput, how insurance companies reward operational consistency over personalized medicine, and why many patients quietly end up needing a crash course in oncology, reimbursement policy, and behavioral psychology while fighting for their lives.The discussion digs into CAR-T therapy, functional testing, AI assisted decision support, and the growing collision between personalized medicine and standardized care pathways. Power argues that engaged patients often get better outcomes because they learn how to push for off guideline treatments, contest denials, and ask smarter questions. The counterpoint lands hard: patients should never have needed to become experts in the first place.The episode also explores the cultural consequences of AI entering cancer care. OpenAI advertising, data privacy, trust erosion, pharmaceutical influence, and “agentic AI” all collide inside a healthcare economy already drowning in distrust. Power sees artificial intelligence as a force multiplier for patient literacy and access. The larger system still decides who gets approved, who gets delayed, and who gets left behind.By the end, the conversation lands exactly where modern healthcare keeps forcing people to land: survival increasingly depends on learning how the machine works before the machine works on you.RELATED LINKSBrad PowerCancer Patient LabOpen Cancer AIHarvard Business ReviewResearch to the PeopleCAR T Cell TherapyFEEDBACKLike this episode?

The American healthcare system is built around a simple idea: get sick, get treated. But what if the problem isn't how we treat illness — it's that we've never seriously tried to prevent it? In this first installment of a two-part conversation, Jamie sits down with Brody Wall, Division President of Operations at Your Health, to trace the arc from a broken, reactive healthcare system to one where data tells you what's coming before the patient even knows something is wrong. Brody's path to healthcare wasn't through a textbook — it was through a father who was a Methodist minister and a mother who spent her career caring for underprivileged children. The mission was always there. The data just became the most honest way to fulfill it. In Part 1, Jamie and Brody cover: Why fee-for-service healthcare financially rewards volume of sick visits — not health — and how that one incentive structure explains why 17-20% of America's GDP goes to healthcare costs with outcomes that still lag behind other developed nations What Your Health was flying blind on before it committed to building a real data infrastructure — and what gut-feeling decisions look like when data finally proves them wrong How social determinants of health (Z codes) and behavioral health conditions (F codes) reveal which patients are actually at the highest risk of hospitalization The finding that changed everything: patients with four or more behavioral health conditions were ten times more likely to have multiple ER visits — and the clinical response that followed This isn't just a conversation about numbers. It's about what happens when an organization decides that preventing the crisis matters more than reacting to it. Part 2 drops next week. www.YourHealth.Org

Send us Fan MailEighty-one percent of physicians are already using AI in practice, more than double the rate from just three years ago. The tools are moving faster than the rules, and nobody has agreed on who gets to write them.Dr. John Whyte, CEO of the American Medical Association, joins hosts David E. Williams and John Driscoll to discuss why the medical community needs to lead the conversation on AI guardrails rather than wait for Washington to catch up, and why the most urgent regulatory question right now involves AI chatbots in mental health, where one in six American adults are already using them with no meaningful oversight in place.

By the time the paper hit version 71, Dr. Nirosha Murugan had already done the hard part. The data were real. The experiment had worked. A team of researchers had used a wearable bioreactor to trigger limb regeneration in frogs, a result with obvious implications for regenerative medicine. But the science still wasn't getting over the line. The problem wasn't the work. It was the translation.On this episode of Standard Deviation, host Oliver Bogler talks with Dr. Nirosha Murugan, a biophysicist and Tier II Canada Research Chair in Tissue Biophysics at Wilfrid Laurier University, about what happens when a scientist working at the edges of quantum biology, bioelectricity, and tissue regeneration runs headfirst into the unwritten rules of academic publishing. Murugan's research asks biologists to think beyond molecules and chemistry alone, and to consider the physical signals, electromagnetic fields, and invisible forces that shape development and healing. It is ambitious science. It is also exactly the kind of work that can make gatekeepers nervous.Bogler follows Murugan through the less glamorous part of discovery: the hidden curriculum of getting a paper published, securing scientific credibility, and learning that data do not simply “speak for themselves.” Murugan describes how jargon buried the pitch of her own work, how a lack of editorial support left her at a disadvantage, and how the JEDI program at the Life Science Editors Foundation paired her with a former journal editor who taught her how to structure a manuscript, write a cover letter, and survive peer review.The result was publication in Science Advances, but the larger story is about power. Who gets taught the rules of biomedical research. Who has access to grant writers, editors, and institutional polish. Who is left to brute-force their way through the maze. And how one scientist, having finally found the map, now makes sure her own trainees do not have to learn it the hard way.RELATED LINKSDr. Nirosha Murugan⁠Wilfrid Laurier University⁠Life Science Editors Foundation⁠JEDI Program⁠Science Advances paper on limb regeneration⁠FEEDBACKLike this episode?

Dr. Jess Peatross trained in conventional medicine and worked as a hospitalist before she started questioning why so many chronically ill patients kept getting worse inside the healthcare system she trusted. Her perspective carries weight because she spent years following every protocol exactly as taught before walking away from hospital medicine entirely.Raised in Huntington, West Virginia during the opioid crisis, she entered medicine believing the system existed to heal people. Instead, she found hospitals driven by billing codes, liability management, and pharmaceutical dependence while patients with chronic illness, autoimmune disease, mold exposure, and chronic pain cycled endlessly through appointments and prescriptions.Dr. Peatross explains what pushed her toward functional medicine, cannabis therapy, and prevention focused care after watching patients improve only after leaving conventional treatment pipelines behind. The conversation tackles physician burnout, chronic illness stigma, healthcare incentives, and the growing collapse of trust between patients and institutions.The discussion also moves into supplements, environmental toxins, ultra processed food, and the uncomfortable economics behind keeping people permanently sick but continuously billable. Dr. Peatross describes the professional backlash that comes with challenging medical orthodoxy while Matthew connects her experience to the broader erosion of public trust across American healthcare.Together they unpack what happens when patients stop believing the system can help them and start searching elsewhere for answers.RELATED LINKSDr. Jess PeatrossInstagramMarshall UniversityBrave New WeedFEEDBACKLike this episode?

AI and Generative Biology: Authoring Life, Redesigning Healthcare, and Building Guardrails: Physician and molecular biologist Dr. Adrian Woolfson, co-founder of Genyro, a biotechnology company specializing in synthetic genome design and construction, and author of “On the Future of Species: Authoring Life by Means of Artificial Biological Intelligence,” discusses the convergence of AI with synthetic/generative biology that could make biology programmable and enable genome design and construction beyond traditional gene editing. Woolfson argues that the technology is morally neutral but is arriving rapidly and requires public awareness, governance, and guardrails due to risks, including misuse by authoritarian regimes and biological warfare. He discusses evolution's trade-offs and why he favors limiting human applications to curing disease and extending healthy longevity, while opposing germline modification; he explains germline vs somatic editing and cites the flawed, unethical case of a Chinese scientist attempting inherited HIV resistance. They examine sickle cell disease cures costing $2–$3 million, scalability issues, and trade-offs like malaria protection, and highlight non-medical benefits such as engineered crops, biomaterials, desalination, and DNA-based information storage.

What if failure isn't the opposite of winning — but the gift that makes it possible? In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, Your Health CEO Matt Staub opens up about the present he gave himself at 40: permission to fail. Then he shows what that looks like when life tests it — walking Jamie through a 2025 that brought prostate cancer, his daughter's surgery, the loss of his father, and professional hardship, and the quiet strength it takes to look back and say, "That was a good try. I'm still here. I'm hard to beat." In this episode, you'll hear: How Matt reframes a loss into a "fall forward" — and the simple habit he uses to do it The agonizing leadership question of when to let someone you care about fail Why accountability, done right, is one of the best gifts you can give a friend The danger of only celebrating big wins — and how complacency quietly creeps in Why the only voice that truly matters is the one inside your own head If you missed Part 1, start there for the full arc. Then settle in here for the deeper, more personal half — and walk away with a new relationship to the losses in your own life.

Healthcare supply chain technology is evolving rapidly, but systemic data fragmentation and operational inefficiencies are moving even faster.    In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton and Scott DeGroot are joined by Mark Holmes of InterSystems and Michael LaRocca of Ready Computing to discuss the shift from legacy networks to proactive, AI-driven decision intelligence.     The panel explores the severe consequences of a 10% global surgery cancellation rate due to supply failures, noting that a single canceled orthopedic procedure can cost up to $250,000, while the human toll can be tragic. They address how a lack of visibility leads to duplicate data entry and supply hoarding, outlining a blueprint for a smart data fabric. By leveraging real-time telemetry and agentic AI, healthcare organizations can automate inventory replenishment and resolve disruptions before they impact care. Scott DeGroot concludes by challenging healthcare leaders to audit their tech stacks and bridge the gap between clinical and supply chain data.   Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Intro  (02:12) Meet InterSystems and Ready Computing leaders  (08:28) Ready Computing's 15-year history of system connection  (10:43) InterSystems' 48 years of mission-critical data tech  (12:29) The life-or-death stakes of healthcare supply chains  (17:29) Global surgery cancellations inflict severe financial penalties  (21:13) Interoperability standards stitch disconnected databases together  (24:43) The "swivel-chair effect" and supply chain hoarding  (30:40) Supply Chain Orchestrator powers proactive data orchestration  (34:45) Channels360 unifies case management and logistics workflows  (40:11) Practical applications of RAG and agentic AI  (55:16) Expanding rural healthcare infrastructure strains traditional supply lines   Additional Links & Resources: Connect with Mark Holmes: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-s-holmes/ Connect with Michael LaRocca: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mlaroccaready Connect with Scott DeGroot: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-degroot-4600368/ Learn more about InterSystems: http://www.intersystems.com Learn more about Ready Computing: https://readycomputing.com/ Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

Most companies recruit interns to take work off someone's plate. Your Health does the opposite — and it's why several of its current executives, including a Chief Information Officer, first walked in the door as interns. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Heather Bower, Director of Experiential Learning, who has taken the reins of Your Health's internship, mentorship, preceptorship, and apprenticeship programs. Heather shares how a long-standing program is being rebuilt with structure, data, and intention — organized into semester cohorts, anchored by a four-day all-company orientation, and designed so every intern owns a project with genuine stakes. In this conversation, you'll hear: Why "get interns because they're cheap" is exactly the wrong spirit — and what replaces it How one MBA intern's shadowing experience redirected him toward nursing school The "spreadsheet whisperer" intern who taught regional leadership to pull data faster What surprises interns most once they're inside healthcare: the human complexity How Your Health uses feedback loops to move interns toward roles where they'll actually shine If you're early in your career and unsure where you fit, this episode is a map to possibilities you may not know exist.

Send us Fan MailFor decades, cancer treatment has rested on three pillars: surgery, chemotherapy, and external beam radiation. A fourth is now taking shape, and it is drawing billions in investment from some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.John Babich, Founder, President, and Chief Scientific Officer of Ratio Therapeutics, joins host David E.

Andrew Archibald, CEO of MEDMIN, breaks down why the UK's private healthcare sector has been stuck in operational chaos — and what he's doing to fix it. Built on a model where NHS consultants moonlight as private practitioners with zero business infrastructure, the system has forced brilliant surgeons to spend Sunday mornings writing their own invoices. MEDMIN steps in as a total practice management partner, handling admin, billing, marketing, and patient relations so doctors can focus on medicine. The results speak for themselves: new-to-practice consultants see 300% income growth within three years. Andrew also makes the case for embracing AI tools as a non-negotiable business move, and shares how MEDMIN is scaling toward a UK-wide brand that serves both doctors and patients. Key Takeaways: 3:34 — Curiosity is a professional strategy: Andrew attributes his entire career trajectory to a compulsion to understand how systems work and why they break, which drives him toward roles others avoid. 6:08 — COVID exposed a healthcare system already running on empty: the UK's waiting lists doubled during the pandemic and have never fully recovered because the NHS was underfunded through the 2010s before the crisis hit. 15:17 — The problem is personal: top-tier surgeons are spending Sunday mornings reconciling invoices instead of recovering, and that hidden administrative tax is the core inefficiency MEDMIN was built to eliminate. 24:42 — The ROI of removing friction is measurable: consultants who join MEDMIN as new-to-practice doctors grow their earnings by 300% between year one and year three. Quote of the Show (19:21):"People have just learnt to put up with inadequate systems. The healthcare system in the UK is very poor at investing in technology, in the administrative things that make the whole thing get better. And it's about time to say: stop accepting it." — Andrew Archibald Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Send us Fan MailThe COVID-19 pandemic proved vaccine platforms can move at unprecedented speed. It also revealed how dangerously narrow the world's response really was, built almost entirely on a single technology.Dr. Dan Barouch and Kris Brown, Co-Founders of Vector Sciences, join host David E. Williams to discuss why durable pandemic preparedness depends on having multiple vaccine platforms rather than just one, how their Rheovax platform uses mucosal immunity delivered through the nose to block transmission rather than just prevent severe disease, and why public trust in vaccines depends on being honest about what each technology can and cannot actually do.

Farla Efros is a senior retail executive and former CEO who built and sold companies before facing her own breast cancer diagnosis. She brings that same operational mindset into a healthcare system that expects patients to manage complexity while they are at their most vulnerable.She was on a client call in Spain when the diagnosis came through. A clear mammogram had missed it. An MRI caught it. Within hours, she was ordering binders, building a plan, and structuring her treatment like a turnaround strategy. Every appointment became a meeting. Every doctor faced an agenda with dozens of questions. She paid out of pocket for PET scans that were denied and hired a third party firm to validate her treatment path when her own doctors resisted outside input. The conversation tracks what happens when a high-functioning executive enters a system built on delay, denial, and fragmentation. Efros describes negotiating for tests, managing physician relationships, and assembling an “executive board” of advisors across conventional and alternative care. She calls the experience “the worst client I ever had,” exposing how administrative burden shifts onto patients and families.The tension sits between what worked for her and what is inaccessible to most. Her approach requires confidence, time, and fluency in navigating power. The system rewards that behavior while quietly failing patients who cannot replicate it. Insurance coverage still left her paying out of pocket. Doctors pushed standard protocols over precision medicine. Survivorship offered little support once treatment ended.This episode examines how cancer care operates as a series of incentives rather than a coordinated system, and why patients are forced to become operators just to get through it.RELATED LINKSFarla EfrosFarla Efros on LinkedInF*ck CancerF*ck Cancer on AmazonAccentureCTOAMPULL QUOTES“I treated cancer like the worst client I ever had.”“They wouldn't approve the test, so I paid for it myself.”“Every appointment was a negotiation.”FEEDBACKLike this episode?

Whoever scores the most goals wins. Simple — until you leave the field and try to keep score in your actual life, where there's no referee and no final whistle. So how do you know if you're winning? In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Your Health CEO Matt Staub sits down with Jamie Preston to redefine what a win actually is. Matt opens with the daily ritual that grounds him — making it to the gym — and the moment he realized the win wasn't the scale or the heavier lift, but the discipline of showing up at all. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the heaviest weight at the gym is the front door — and what that teaches about every goal The hidden cost of only celebrating the big wins (hint: it's called burnout) What a humbling match-play golf loss taught Jamie about changing the goal instead of the game Why Matt believes pressure is a privilege — and how he leans into it Who actually decides what counts as a win, and what to do when there's no scoreboard This is the half where winning gets redefined from the outside in. Press play, then come back next week for Part 2 — where it gets personal.

Sixty percent of Medicare's mental health workforce is made up of clinical social workers — and they're being reimbursed at 75 cents on the dollar compared to clinical psychologists. That's not a footnote. That's a workforce crisis hiding in plain sight. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jimmy Williamson — social worker, NASW Vice President, and seasoned Capitol Hill advocate — for one of the most practical, non-partisan conversations about politics and healthcare you'll hear anywhere. Jimmy just returned from a full day of lobbying on the Hill, and he breaks down exactly what that looks like, what's at stake, and why every healthcare employee — not just the C-suite — has a role to play. You'll hear: Why clinical social workers are fighting to move their Medicare reimbursement rate from 75% to 85% — and how it would actually save Medicare $420 million How the Department of Education's reclassification of nursing and social work is quietly capping the next generation's borrowing limits and shrinking the workforce pipeline The Farm Bill's Hot Foods Act and why a working single mother's ability to buy a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store is a healthcare issue Why politicians want to hear from constituents — and how to get your voice in front of the right people without spending hours doing it The first move anyone can make this week to stop being a bystander and start being a citizen This episode won't make you angry.

In 2020, Emily Mendenhall drove from Washington, DC to Okoboji, Iowa, a town of 800 that swells to 200,000 every summer, and walked into a pandemic that looked nothing like the one dominating national headlines. Inside gas stations and bars, masks marked you as an outsider. In one stop, a man told her family they would not be served if they kept theirs on. Her 6 year old daughter cried, confused. Mendenhall, a medical anthropologist at Georgetown University, did what she always does. She started asking questions. Over months, she interviewed neighbors, former classmates, and local officials, including her own brother in law who helped lead the local COVID response. The result became Unmasked, a case study in how community identity, economics, and politics shaped public health decisions in real time. That work led directly into her latest book, Invisible Illness: A History, from Hysteria to Long COVID, where she tracks a much older problem. Patients with chronic illness, especially women, often fail to meet medicine's demand for proof. Without a clear diagnosis, they lose access to care, insurance coverage, and legitimacy. Mendenhall argues that long COVID did not create this failure. It exposed it.This conversation centers on how healthcare systems reward certainty and punish complexity. Long COVID clinics send patients to 17 specialists without resolution. Insurance structures require diagnoses that many conditions cannot provide. Medical training still struggles to integrate trauma, mental health, and chronic disease into a coherent model of care.Mendenhall brings lived experience into the conversation. After COVID, she dealt with months of fatigue and escalating anxiety that altered her baseline health. She does not claim the label of long COVID, but she understands how quickly the system becomes harder to navigate once symptoms stop fitting clean categories. The stakes are not theoretical. In the United States, access to healthcare, disability benefits, and treatment still depends on whether a condition can be measured, coded, and reimbursed. For millions living with invisible illness, the burden of proof becomes the illness itself.RELATED LINKSEmily MendenhallInvisible Illness: A History, from Hysteria to Long COVIDScience PoliticsGeorgetown UniversityFEEDBACKLike this episode?

What if the patient never noticed the merger at all? For Matt Staub, that's not a failure — it's the goal. In this episode, Your Health CEO Matt Staub sits down with Jamie to talk through the company's merger with TCPA and Providence Care — a move that brings together similar footprints in primary care, palliative, hospice, skilled nursing, and assisted living across South Carolina and Georgia. As a 23-year healthcare veteran going through his first merger, Matt is candid about the tedious due-diligence "earnest money" phase, the EMR transitions ahead, and why he refuses to let "what could go wrong" crowd out "what could go right." You'll hear: Why "mass moves mass" — and what scale actually buys patients in care management and data analytics How Your Health breaks 50,000 patients into groups, teams, and "hubs" so no one falls through the cracks The "change is hard" philosophy and the discipline of productive (not just effective) communication How the spirit of agape — godly love — still threads through a company that's evolved far past its original name What success looks like in six months: patient retention, mission and margin If you lead through change — or live through it — this one will reframe how you think about getting bigger without losing what made you matter.

At 25, Jace Yawnick was building a career in health and wellness sales, chasing growth, status, and the usual young adult fantasy of getting somewhere fast. Then his body stopped cooperating. Fatigue turned into chemotherapy. The diagnosis was primary mediastinal B cell non Hodgkin lymphoma, and the rest of his life split into before and after. Now in remission, he talks about cancer the way people actually live it, not the way nonprofits package it. He gets into survivorship, mental health, young adult isolation, and the deadening absurdity of prior authorization. One of the sharpest parts of the conversation lands on a simple American insult disguised as policy: treatment innovation means very little when insurance can still deny the scan, the drug, or the next step. Jace has seen that firsthand, including during routine monitoring after active treatment. This episode tracks what happens when a young cancer patient becomes a public voice and refuses to play mascot. It covers oncology, insurance, remission, advocacy, and the long mental hangover that follows survival. It also names the part too many institutions dodge: the system works great right up until it doesn't, and when it fails, patients get handed the bill, the panic, and a camera if they want anyone to care.

Healthcare is filled with great ideas, promising technologies, and passionate clinicians, but why do so many innovation efforts fail? In this episode, Dale Ellicott joins Dr. Andrea Austin to explore what it really takes to create sustainable change in healthcare. From his early experiences introducing groundbreaking rehabilitation technologies to his current work at Rely Health, Dale shares lessons about resistance to change, organizational alignment, and the importance of putting patients first. Together, they discuss the realities of value-based care, the challenges clinicians face when navigating fragmented healthcare systems, and the growing role of AI in supporting, not replacing human connection. Dale explains how Rely Health combines agentic AI with human care navigators to help patients schedule appointments, access transportation, connect with primary care, and overcome barriers that often lead to poor outcomes and avoidable readmissions. The conversation offers practical guidance for clinicians, leaders, and innovators who want to move beyond pilot programs and build solutions that truly improve healthcare delivery. They discussed: How a values-based decision shaped Dale's career in healthcare innovation Why healthcare organizations struggle to adopt new technology The dangers of "pilotitis" and failed innovation projects How AI-powered care navigation improves patient follow-up Lessons for clinicians who want to become successful change-makers

What if the most important care in the entire healthcare system is also the most underfunded? While hospitals and inpatient reimbursements rise with inflation, the physician fee schedule has quietly declined roughly 33% in real terms over 25 years — and this year it's facing another cut. In this episode, Jamie Preston sits down with Your Health CEO Matt Staub, just back from Capitol Hill, where he spent a record-setting 95-degree day meeting with seven legislative offices to advocate for physicians, providers, and the patients they serve across rural South Carolina, Georgia, and beyond. What follows is part field report, part reflection on why preventive primary care saves money and lives — and why we plan meticulously for weddings, retirement, and vacations, but treat our own health with a "call us if something happens" approach. In this conversation: Why a 2.5–5% physician fee cut hits frontline rural practices hardest The bipartisan doctors' caucus and the real appetite for reform Why winning can come from a loss — the Kobe Bryant mindset on process over outcome How a Disney ride (Spaceship Earth) reframes humanity's whole story around communication The case for proactive, team-based primary care over reactive sick visits Press play for a conversation about advocacy, communication, and a simple, powerful idea: the change you need to make starts with you.

What if educating your people so well that they could leave was exactly the point? At Your Health, that's not a risk to manage — it's the philosophy that built an entire learning ecosystem. In this episode, Jamie talks with Aubrey Wall, who came to Your Health from a background in education and now leads Your Health University, the organization's learning management system and continuous-development engine. Aubrey brings an educator's eye to a fast-evolving healthcare environment, where best practice changes by the day and meeting patients where they are demands that staff never stop learning. Here's what you'll hear: Why a healthcare company runs 12-month, Department of Labor–registered apprenticeships — including programs in management, value-based care, population health, and hospice aide preparation How gamification is being built into nurse instruction (straight from Aubrey's dissertation research) The difference between Your Health University (your classroom) and the Hub (your resource library) How LinkedIn Learning delivered roughly $4.2 million in CEUs to staff last year Meeting Leah — the new AI assistant that helps employees find exactly the right course If you've ever believed growing your people is a cost rather than the whole point, this conversation will change how you think.

Send us Fan MailThe World Health Organization projects a global shortage of 10 million healthcare workers by 2030. No training pipeline can close that gap. The only path forward runs through technology.Dr. Bertalan Meskó, Founder & Director of the Medical Futurist Institute, joins host David E. Williams to discuss why digital health is first and foremost a cultural transformation rather than a technological one, and why the most important thing any health system leader can do right now is learn how to use AI as the connective interface between an increasingly complex ecosystem of tools, patients, and clinical teams.

At 20 years old, newly arrived from Puerto Rico and trying to build a future in science, Benjamin Suarez Jimenez found himself sitting in front of two senior faculty members accused of plagiarism. He knew the material. He had done the work. His mistake came from failing to cite class notes during an exam because nobody had told him that was expected. In a matter of minutes, he watched what felt like his entire career flash before him.On this episode of Standard Deviation, host Oliver Bogler examines the hidden architecture of academic science through the experiences of Dr. Benjamin Suarez Jimenez, Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester and a neuroscientist studying PTSD, anxiety, trauma, and spatial cognition through virtual reality and video game environments.Benjamin traces his path from Puerto Rico to the mainland United States, through the NIH, Columbia University, and eventually to leading his own laboratory. Along the way, he encountered a series of barriers that had little to do with scientific ability and everything to do with access to unwritten rules. From academic gatekeeping to grant writing expectations, he learned that success in biomedical research often depends on knowledge that never appears in a textbook.Oliver explores how those invisible obstacles shape careers, influence research funding, and determine who gains access to opportunity. The conversation also examines the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Program at the Life Science Editors Foundation, which pairs scientists from underrepresented backgrounds with experienced scientific editors. Through that mentorship, Benjamin transformed a critical grant proposal into a successful pilot award that helped launch an NIH R01 application.The discussion extends beyond one scientist's experience. Benjamin describes helping a former mentee navigate dissertation roadblocks that threatened her graduation, illustrating how institutional bureaucracy can delay careers and discourage talented researchers. Together, they explore the hidden administrative burden, cultural barriers, and bias that many scientists carry alongside their research, and what happens when someone who receives support turns around and opens the door for others.RELATED LINKSLife Science Editors FoundationBenjamin Suarez Jimenez LabDr. Benjamin Suarez JimenezBenjamin Suarez JimenezFEEDBACKLike this episode?

This episode of Quality Matters examines the growing role of digital wellness and chronic condition management programs and the challenge of measuring what truly matters. Host Rachel Harrington is joined by Peter Robertson of the Purchasing Business Group on Health and California Quality Collaborative and Kevin Masci of Omada Health to discuss how digital health solutions can help address rising healthcare costs, workforce shortages and fragmented care experiences. Peter and Kevin explain why meaningful engagement goes far beyond app downloads and login counts. Instead, successful programs focus on sustained participation, patient-centered goal setting, integration with primary care and measurable improvements in health outcomes. The conversation explores how employers, health plans and providers are evaluating digital solutions through clinical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, utilization measures and value-based contracting arrangements. The guests also discuss one of the most important challenges facing digital health: trust. Privacy, transparency, data security and clear communication about how patient data is collected and used all play critical roles in long-term adoption. The episode concludes with a Patient Voice segment featuring Brandee Hicks, who shares her firsthand experiences using digital health tools, highlighting both the convenience they offer and the ongoing challenges around interoperability, digital literacy and maintaining support after programs end.     Highlights Beyond Logins and Clicks Meaningful engagement isn't about how often patients open an app. It's about helping people achieve their health goals through sustained participation and measurable outcomes. Measuring What Matters Guests discuss the growing use of clinical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, utilization data and value-based contracting to assess digital health program performance. Trust Is Essential Digital health solutions must address concerns around privacy, transparency, data security and how patient information is stored and shared. The Patient Perspective Brandee Hicks shares how digital tools can improve organization, access and self-management while also revealing gaps in continuity, support and interoperability. Looking Ahead The future of digital health depends on better integration with primary care, more personalized engagement strategies and stronger measurement frameworks that prioritize patient outcomes.     Key Quote: "If we're really serious about improving health outcomes, we have to move beyond measuring clicks and logins. The real question is whether people are achieving meaningful progress toward their health goals—and whether these programs are creating lasting value for patients, providers and purchasers alike." — Kevin Masci     Time Stamps: (02:20) Meet Peter Robertson (03:45) Meet Kevin Masci (05:53) Why Digital Solutions Matter (10:01) Care Coordination, Not Care Fragmentation (11:52) Defining Meaningful Patient Engagement (15:07) Why Consistent Measurement Matters (18:32) Measuring Outcomes in Value-Based Contracts (21:12) Data Stratification, Risk Adjustment and Performance Guarantees (27:22) Privacy, Trust and Transparency in Digital Health (30:44) The Future of Digital Wellness and Chronic Care Management (35:08) Patient Voice: Brandee Hicks (40:25) Patient Challenges, Access and Continuity of Care (45:23) Key Takeaways and Closing Thoughts     Dive Deeper: Connect with Peter Robertson Connect with Kevin Masci Connect with Brandee Hicks Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dr. Sarah Matt trained as a burn surgeon, working in a field where patients arrive with catastrophic injuries and survival depends on speed, skill, and resources. She left the bedside after confronting a limit that medicine does not like to admit. One physician can only see so many people in a day. The system surrounding those patients decides the rest. She moved into health technology, held leadership roles in startups, and built global infrastructure at Oracle to scale care across populations. Then she watched billions of dollars in digital health and AI initiatives stall out when they hit real clinical environments.This episode follows that pivot from surgeon to strategist and back into direct patient care in rural New York, where she now treats uninsured patients, migrant workers, and communities pushed to the margins. The conversation centers on a persistent failure across healthcare systems. Products get built for regulators, executives, and investors instead of the people who use them. The result shows up in failed adoption, broken workflows, prior authorization delays, and rising physician burnout.The discussion cuts through health policy language and lands on lived consequence. The system rewards speed over usability, scale over trust, and compliance over care. Patients absorb the fallout. Physicians carry the liability. The incentives remain intact.RELATED LINKSDr. Sarah MattThe Borderless Healthcare RevolutionThe Clinical RealistJessica FedererSovatoFEEDBACKLike this episode?

What if your healthcare team already knew what happened during your hospital stay — before you even explained it? What if someone on your care team noticed you were struggling on a Saturday and simply showed up? In this episode, Jamie sits down with Christopher Laffey, Nurse Practitioner at Your Health, to break down what a truly connected, proactive model of care actually looks like when it's working. Christopher practices in North Charleston, SC, where his team — nurses, therapists, social workers, community health workers, and more — functions less like a traditional office practice and more like a living, breathing safety net woven around each patient's real life. What you'll hear in this episode: Why most patients are failing not because nobody cares, but because the system itself is fragmented — and what doing it differently actually looks like on a Tuesday morning The real difference between "patient-centered" as a marketing phrase and patient-centered as a daily practice (hint: it involves seeing the medication bottles on the kitchen table) A powerful real-life story of a bedbound patient whose caregiver suddenly disappeared — and how the team mobilized over a weekend, on their own time, to prevent a hospitalization The single mindset shift every clinician needs to make the transition from visit-based thinking to longitudinal care Why "value-based care" doesn't mean discounted care — it means the organization is accountable for your outcomes, not just your appointments If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling more confused than when you walked in, this episode will show you what healthcare can feel like when it's actually designed around you. www.YourHealth.Org

In the late 1980s, a child exposed to fallout from the Chernobyl disaster lay in a hospital bed while doctors told his family there were no clear answers and no reliable path forward. Decades later, that same child, Yan Leyfman, walks into exam rooms as a hematology oncology fellow, expected to deliver clarity inside a system that still runs on delay, uncertainty, and institutional self preservation.This episode traces the throughline from early life shaped by radiation exposure and hospice level uncertainty to a career inside academic medicine, translational research, and oncology media. Yan built his identity around survival and usefulness, moving from patient to physician while carrying the memory of what it feels like to sit on the other side of the table. He helped launch MedNews Week during the COVID crisis to push back on misinformation and expand access to medical knowledge, stepping into a public role while still in training.The conversation stays grounded in the friction between personal narrative and system reality. Clinical training demands efficiency, hierarchy, and emotional distance. Cancer care demands time, clarity, and human connection. Those forces collide in real patient encounters where prior authorization delays, insurance barriers, and fragmented care pathways shape outcomes as much as any treatment protocol.Yan speaks openly about mentorship, belonging, and the drive to make meaning out of survival. The discussion pushes further into what the healthcare system actually rewards, what it quietly strips away, and how quickly empathy can erode under institutional pressure. The episode also examines the role of medical media, where education, industry influence, and narrative control often blur together.This is a conversation about identity under construction, about what happens when someone who remembers powerlessness steps into a role that carries authority, and about whether that memory can survive long enough to change anything.RELATED LINKSYan Leyfman on LinkedInYan Leyfman on InstagramSurviving ChernobylFEEDBACKLike this episode?
