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.

Send us Fan MailThe liver is the only organ in the body that can release stored glucose to prevent low blood sugar. So why has injected insulin never been able to reach it?In this clip from our episode “Finding a Solution for GLP-1 Side Effects”, host David E. Williams and Bob Geho, Founder and CEO of Diasome, break down the biological gap at the heart of diabetes treatment and how a father's decades of research into liver-targeted insulin delivery became the founding idea behind Diasome.

It was 3 o'clock in the morning when Scott Middleton finally signed the papers. The merger was official. And within days, he was already on the road — visiting facilities, riding along with providers, and spotting the same gap everywhere he went: brilliant clinicians doing real work that was completely invisible to the system. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Jamie sits down with Scott Middleton, calling in from Boston, to unpack what he's discovering on the ground in the newly merged Your Health organization — and why tracking your time isn't about paperwork. It's about protection, proof, and getting paid for every minute of care you're already delivering. What you'll hear in this episode: The Dr. Jeeve story: a high-producing doc who managed a nursing home crisis by phone, saved a patient from an unnecessary ER visit — and never billed for it, leaving Medicare with no record of his intervention Why not documenting a visit before a hospitalization doesn't just cost you revenue — it makes you look like a bad provider, even when you did everything right How insurance companies like United Healthcare boldly take 15% off the top of every healthcare dollar — and why that math means providers can't afford to give their time away for free The TCPA pattern Scott keeps seeing: 15,000–18,000 visits a month, almost entirely in nursing homes, with zero follow-up once patients go home The new post-discharge standard: every patient leaving a nursing home gets a telehealth visit within 48 hours, then weekly follow-up for four weeks — no one gets left in the gap This episode is a masterclass in understanding that documentation isn't bureaucracy — it's how you tell your story, protect your reputation, and keep the care you've already given from disappearing. www.YourHealth.Org

Send us Fan MailEvery year, one in five adults with Type 1 diabetes experiences a dangerous drop in blood sugar that renders them unable to treat themselves. These severe hypoglycemic events are still happening, even though many patients now use continuous glucose monitors and automated insulin pumps.Why has this trade-off between long-term A1C control and dangerous sugar crashes persisted for over 30 years?Bob Geho, Founder and CEO of Diasome, joins host David E. Williams to unpack the results of the company's 200+ patient Phase 2B OPTI-2 trial of HDV™ insulin. The study was presented recently at the American Diabetes Association meeting in New Orleans.In the trial, five patients using standard insulin experienced severe hypoglycemic events. This compares with zero such events among patients receiving HDV™ insulin. Meanwhile, HDV™ insulin matched standard-of-care A1C control.Bob also shares how the HDV platform is being studied for its potential to reduce side effects in GLP-1 therapy and to address insulin resistance, considered the root cause of Type 2 Diabetes.

In this episode, host Tony Davis sits down with Peter Avellino, Director in EisnerAmper's Healthcare Services Group, to explore the silent — and often overlooked — issue of revenue leakage in healthcare organizations. Peter breaks down what revenue leakage actually is, where it most commonly occurs, and why providers are losing money they've already earned. Together, they discuss the operational, documentation, coding, and denial management gaps that quietly drain financial performance — and the actionable steps leaders can take to stop it. If you're looking to strengthen margins and improve revenue cycle health, this conversation delivers clarity, insight, and practical next steps.

In this episode, Curtiss T. Stinis, MD, FACC, FSCAI, Clinical Professor of Medicine, Director of Peripheral Interventions, Interventional Cardiology, Scripps Clinic, joins the Becker's Healthcare Podcast to discuss the latest TAVR durability data, key differences between leading valve platforms, and what health system leaders need to understand about lifetime valve management.This episode is sponsored by Edwards Lifesciences.

Send us Fan MailAmerican hospitals now spend nearly $2 on administrative overhead for every dollar that touches direct patient care. Insurers earn billions in float by sitting on claims for weeks, providers borrow money just to stay liquid, and patients open bills for visits they barely remember.Don Peterson, Founder and CEO of PIM Health, joins host David E. Williams to discuss why healthcare's payment system is working exactly as it was designed to work, and how real-time claims adjudication at the point of care could eliminate prior authorization as it currently exists, cut administrative overhead from 12 to 15 percent down to 2 to 3 percent, and return hundreds of billions of dollars in waste back to patients, providers, and plan sponsors.

What happens when an HR professional finds themselves on the other side of redundancy?   In this episode of The Business of Healthcare Podcast, Tara is joined by Sarah Boxall, HR and recruitment professional with more than 20 years of experience across the private sector, local government, higher education, and the NHS.   Sarah offers a unique perspective on navigating organisational change, career uncertainty, and the realities of looking for work during a period of significant transformation across the health and care system. Sarah shares practical advice for anyone facing change, considering their next career move, or supporting others through workforce transitions.   In this episode, Sarah discusses: What redundancy feels like from the employee perspective, even when the process is handled well The emotional reality of delivering difficult news as an HR professional Why uncertainty can be more challenging than change itself How to approach job searching during periods of organisational disruption The importance of maintaining an up-to-date CV Understanding the "hidden job market" and where opportunities are often found Using LinkedIn effectively to build connections and discover new roles Identifying your non-negotiables when considering your next career move Managing mindset, resilience, and confidence during periods of career transition Why flexibility, purpose, and job satisfaction matter as much as salary   This is an honest and practical conversation for anyone navigating workforce change, supporting colleagues through uncertainty, or considering what comes next in their own career.   Find Sarah on LinkedIn here.

Most people don't fear change itself — they fear the moment before they know if they're going to be okay. And according to Dr. Jimmie Williamson, that gap between uncertainty and clarity is where organizations either hold their people together or quietly lose them. In this episode of Your Health University, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jimmie Williamson, Chief Behavioral Health Officer at Your Health, in the middle of a real organizational merger — making this conversation as timely and personal as it gets. Dr. Williamson draws on decades of clinical experience, behavioral health expertise, and his own career pivots (including leaving a 28-year career to step into healthcare) to walk us through what change actually does to the human brain and body — and what it takes to move through it well. Key topics include: Why even positive change triggers a physiological threat response — and what science says is actually happening in your brain The five stages of change people move through (shock, resistance, exploration, and beyond) and why getting stuck isn't a character flaw Dr. David Rock's SCARF model — the five psychological domains (Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, Fairness) that determine whether people feel safe or threatened during transitions What leaders most commonly get wrong when communicating change — and the one mistake that always creates a narrative vacuum Why insecurity in leadership is more dangerous than the change itself The one self-care practice you can start today if you're feeling the weight of uncertainty Change is positive. It is good. And it is inevitable. This episode will help you believe that — and act like it. www.YourHealth.Org

What does it actually cost when a doctor writes a verbal order over the phone instead of seeing the patient? Scott Middleton has the receipts — and the answer is going to make you rethink everything about how American healthcare spends its money. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott announces a landmark three-way merger bringing Your Health together with Transitional Care Professionals of America (TCPA) out of Georgia and Providence Care, a hospice organization in South Carolina. The combined organization will serve approximately 55,000 active patients — not patients on a list, but people being seen regularly — and Scott lays out exactly how he's going to run it. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Scott's family owning 80% of the merged company changes everything about how decisions get made — and who they get made for The difference between fee-for-service and value-based care, and why the ACO model means every unnecessary hospitalization literally comes out of Your Health's pocket How Your Health's risk-adjustment-based visit model (16 visits per year per risk point) was independently validated by a new government study — and why it works The three things Scott is asking every new employee to do in the first weeks: align with a nurse practitioner, track every minute of care management, and recruit like their livelihood depends on it — because it does Why Scott's new management philosophy is six words: "Keep them out of the hospital and see your damn patients" This isn't a corporate announcement. It's a playbook for how healthcare can actually work when operators run the company, providers see their patients, and every minute of care gets counted. www.YourHealth.Org

Send us Fan MailMore than 160 million Americans live in federally designated mental health provider shortage areas. Even those with insurance often spend months searching for a therapist who takes their plan and has availability.Mark Frank, Co-Founder and CEO of SonderMind, joins host John Driscoll to discuss why fixing the provider infrastructure had to come before solving patient access, and how a fully integrated platform combining measurement-based care with AI-powered tools between sessions is producing outcomes up to 275% better than traditional therapy alone.

And they usually find out what it's going to cost them two to three weeks before renewal.In this clip from our episode “Why Health Insurance Needs Transparency”, host John Driscoll and Ty Wang, Co-Founder and CEO of Angle Health, break down why unpredictable premium increases make it nearly impossible for small businesses to plan, and why the market has accepted this as normal for far too long.Listen to the full episode here

Heads up — this is Part 2 of Jamie's conversation with Jaclyn Taylor If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, go back and start there. It sets up everything we unpack today. Most healthcare teams are working hard. They're just not working together. And the patient is the one absorbing the cost. In this second half of the conversation, Jamie and Jaclyn move from the why into the how. What does it actually look like when a provider stops responding to today's schedule and starts managing an entire patient panel? How do you turn a community health worker, a pharmacist, a PT, and a social worker into one coordinated team instead of four parallel ones? And what's the difference between data that produces reports and data that produces decisions? You'll hear: Why "frequent touches" only work when they're connected — and how fragmented touches still land patients back in the hospital The quarterback model — what it actually means for a provider to own a patient's trajectory, not just their visit The shift from seeing patients to managing a population — and why most providers were never taught how Why we don't have a resource problem in healthcare — we have an orchestration opportunity How to use technology and data without drowning in either What "showing up" really means inside a system that isn't perfect yet This is the episode for anyone trying to lead change from inside a system that's still catching up.

Send us Fan MailNearly half of all Americans get their health insurance through a small business. Most of those businesses have no idea why their premiums go up every year and no real power to do anything about it.Ty Wang, Co-Founder and CEO of Angle Health, joins host John Driscoll to discuss why legacy insurers benefit from keeping small businesses in the dark on costs, and how rebuilding the health plan stack from the ground up on modern, AI-native infrastructure is finally making transparency and customization possible for the employers who have always needed it most.

She outlines four key areas where AI is reshaping the industry: care navigation, provider support, personalized patient experiences and proactive identification of care gaps. The conversation also explores value-based care, claims processing, interoperability challenges, workforce training and the importance of balancing technology with human-centered healthcare delivery as the industry moves toward more proactive and personalized care models. Karnuta is an associate professor in the Naveen Jindal School of Management's Organizations, Strategy and International Management Area as well as director of its Professional Program in Healthcare Management.

What happens when a world-famous chef starts questioning the food system, modern wellness culture, and the way we've been taught to think about health?   In this rerun episode of BS Free MD, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh sit down with Australian chef, author, and wellness advocate Pete Evans for a conversation that goes far beyond recipes and nutrition trends. Pete shares how his journey from professional surfer to celebrity chef eventually led him toward a deeper exploration of healing, intentional living, and the emotional connection people have with food.   The discussion dives into the power of real, minimally processed ingredients, the importance of reconnecting with cooking at home, and why food may play a larger role in overall wellness than many people realize. Pete also reflects on the cultural and spiritual side of eating — from slowing down and sharing meals to questioning the systems that shape modern health advice.   This episode is less about rigid diet rules and more about curiosity, awareness, and reclaiming a healthier relationship with what we put into our bodies.   In This Episode Pete Evans' evolution from celebrity chef to wellness advocate Why real food and cooking at home matter more than ever The connection between food, community, and emotional well-being How modern lifestyles may be disconnecting people from health The role of intentional living and mindful eating Why questioning mainstream narratives became part of Pete's journey Thoughts on healing, simplicity, and returning to foundational habits   About Pete Evans Pete Evans is an Australian chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, and television personality known for his focus on whole foods, wellness, and lifestyle-centered health approaches. Over the years, he has become a prominent voice in conversations around nutrition, cooking, and alternative health philosophies. He is also associated with the documentary The Magic Pill, which explored dietary approaches to chronic disease and metabolic health.   Welcome to BS Free MD — the podcast where medicine, freedom, family, culture, and curiosity collide. Hosted by Dr. May Hindmarsh and Dr. Tim Hindmarsh, BS Free MD is known for having bold, unfiltered conversations that challenge conventional thinking in healthcare and beyond. From wellness and medical freedom to culture, science, parenting, and current events, the show explores topics many people are thinking about — but few are willing to openly discuss. With a mix of humor, honesty, skepticism, and humanity, May and Tim bring on physicians, scientists, authors, advocates, and thought leaders for conversations designed to help listeners think critically, ask better questions, and live more intentionally. Whether you agree, disagree, or land somewhere in the middle, BS Free MD invites listeners into thoughtful dialogue without the corporate filter. Listen & Follow BS Free MD

What if every "non-compliant" patient was actually a signal that the system isn't working for them? In this episode, Jamie sits down with Jaclyn Taylor, Clinical Strategy Director at Your Health and a nurse practitioner who started her career as a home-based provider in 2020 — thrown straight into the fire of COVID, isolated patients, and a healthcare world rewriting itself in real time. What she saw inside patients' homes — medications scattered on tables, food insecurity, missing transportation — changed how she thinks about every chart she's ever read. You'll hear: Why a nurse-first pathway gives nurse practitioners a fundamentally different lens than a medical school pathway — and why patients feel it What working across home care, telehealth, trauma, and wellness teaches you about treating the whole human, not just the diagnosis Why trauma surgery turned Jacqueline into a believer in proactive, longitudinal care — and what gets missed when we only meet patients after something has already gone wrong The two words she uses to describe what's most broken in traditional healthcare: fragmentation and misalignment How empathy stops being a poster and starts being operational — built into the design of care itself If you've ever felt invisible inside the healthcare system, or if you're the one trying to fix it, this conversation reframes the whole game.

Send us Fan MailFor decades, value-based care has been healthcare's promised future. Most health systems have stayed in upside-only arrangements, and the data infrastructure needed to manage real risk has never quite caught up to the ambition.That may finally be changing. David Snow, Chairman & CEO of Cedar Gate Technologies, an IQVIA business, joins host David E. Williams to discuss why CMS's first mandatory bundled payment model signals the end of voluntary experimentation, and why the fragmented data problem that has undermined value-based care for a generation is only now finding a real solution.

What if the most important thing you did today wasn't on your task list? In the final episode of Your Health University's Values Series, host Jamie Preston brings back the full Patient Experience Team — Jennifer Kistler, Kim Metz, Whitney Myers, Carlos Heyward, and Rebecca Dillard — to explore the value that brings every other one to life: Service. Not the idea of it. The real, daily, roll-up-your-sleeves version that shows up in 60 extra seconds, one extra phone call, and the moments when you decide not to leave someone when they need you most. What you'll hear in this episode: Whitney's story of refusing to leave a patient on his worst day — and what true service looks like when the moments count most Carlos's creative solution for a patient in Charleston who keeps falling — and the phone call she made just to say thank you Rebecca's respiratory therapists who change cat litter boxes and wheel trash cans to the curb — because they noticed, and they could Kim's ICU story: braiding the hair of ventilated patients who couldn't do it themselves, because I would want someone to do that for me Jamie's deeply personal account of his wife's breast cancer diagnosis — and the profound difference between a healthcare team that says "this is what you need to do" and one that asks "what do you think?" Carlos's challenge to every listener: don't just adopt these values at work — make them yours Service is the reason you got into this. It's the thing that makes the hard days worth it and wakes you up the next morning ready to go again. Press play — and let this episode remind you exactly why what you do matters. www.YourHealth.Org

Send us Fan MailThe collapse of Dr. Casey Means' nomination this week has sent shockwaves through the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement. While the tech world debates AI, healthcare is debating the “Saphier Pivot,” the Trump administration's sudden shift from a radical MAHA outsider to a credentialed Fox News regular. With the Surgeon General's office at a crossroads, we have to ask: is the role still a beacon of public health, or has it become the ultimate prize in the culture war?John Driscoll, Chairman of UConn Health and David E. Williams, President of Health Business Group, diagnose the state of the Surgeon General's office, examining what the rapid pivot to Dr. Nicole Saphier reveals about the limits of MAHA's political power, and whether the nation's most visible public health platform can still move the needle in an era of historic distrust in federal health agencies.

In this episode, guest Antonio Ciaccia, president of consulting firm 3 Axis Advisors and founder/CEO of non-profit 46brooklyn Research, joins host Dan Karnuta for a discussion about U.S. drug pricing. The model is opaque because it runs on inflated list prices and hidden discounts created by government policy and industry incentives. Instead of competing on price, drug companies raise prices and offer rebates through intermediaries like pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), who control which drugs are covered. This system weakens normal market forces and concentrates power in the middle of the supply chain. Karnuta is an associate professor in the Naveen Jindal School of Management's Organizations, Strategy and International Management Area as well as director of its Professional Program in Healthcare Management.

Mutual respect is easy when everyone agrees. The real test comes when the pressure is on, the roles clash, and the person across from you sees things completely differently — and you have to choose, in that moment, what kind of teammate you're going to be. In this episode of Your Health University, host Jamie Preston is joined by the Your Health Patient Experience Team — Jennifer Kistler, Kim Metz, Whitney Myers, Carlos Heyward, and Rebecca Dillard — to explore one of the most demanding values in healthcare: Mutual Respect. Not as a concept, but as a daily practice that shows up in how we listen, how we disagree, how we treat the people we serve, and how much we're willing to learn from someone who doesn't look, think, or live like we do. What you'll hear in this episode: Why active listening is the foundation of all mutual respect — and what it looks like when someone has already "checked out" of a conversation Rebecca's moving story of a nurse who protected a patient's dignity in a single, graceful moment — without missing a beat How reverse mentoring flips the hierarchy and why Rebecca learned one of her most valuable lessons from Whitney Carlos's quiet act of mutual respect that resolved a conflict the room couldn't — just by listening Why conflict isn't the enemy of respect — and how Disney's creative process models what happens when mutual respect stays in the room Every patient is valued. Every voice belongs. That's not a slogan at Your Health — it's a practice. Press play and find out what it takes to really live it. www.YourHealth.Org

Most organizations put "Collaboration" on a wall. Few actually live it — and in healthcare, the cost of not living it isn't a missed deadline. It's a missed patient. In the first episode of Your Health University's brand-new Most organizations put "collaboration" on a wall. Few actually live it — and in healthcare, the cost of not living it isn't a missed deadline. It's a missed patient. In the first episode of Your Health University's brand-new Our Values Series, host Jamie Preston gathers four members of Your Health's patient experience team — Rebecca Dillard (VP of Organizational Experience), Jennifer Kessler (Division President of Product), Whitney Myers (Senior Solutions Advisor), and Carlos Hayward (Business Office Manager) — for an unfiltered conversation about what genuine collaboration looks like inside a fast-moving, mission-driven healthcare organization. No theory. No platitudes. Just the real, messy, mundane, and occasionally remarkable daily practice of people choosing to work together when it would be easier to go it alone.

Fifty to sixty percent of women will get a urinary tract infection at least once in their lifetime — and for many, it won't stop there. So why does almost every conversation about UTIs still end with the same answer: another antibiotic? In this episode of the Your Health University Podcast, host Jamie Preston sits down with Madison Browning, Executive Director of Clinical Services in the Specialty Department at Your Health, to explore what's actually possible when we stop reacting and start preventing. Madison oversees the urology and nephrology divisions and brings the kind of front-line clinical perspective that turns confusing medical information into something anyone can act on. Together, they cover: Why repeated antibiotic use can actually make you more prone to future infections — and what antibiotic resistance really means for your body The honest truth about cranberry: there is science behind it, but probably not in the form you've been using What D-Mannose is, how it works, and why it practically fills the hooks bacteria use to grab onto your urinary tract Vaginal estrogen — the most evidence-backed, most underused prevention option for postmenopausal women, and why the word "estrogen" shouldn't automatically trigger fear The lifestyle changes that cost nothing, require no prescription, and form the foundation of any prevention plan This isn't about abandoning medical care. It's about having a better conversation with your provider — one that goes beyond treating the infection in the moment and starts asking why it keeps happening at all. www.YourHealth.Org

Anyone can hold a title. The leaders people actually follow — the ones people go to the wall for — earn something that no org chart can give them. In this second and final part of Jamie conversation with Matt Whitehead, Chief Ancillary Officer at Your Health, the discussion moves from the mechanics of leadership into its soul. What does it actually take to make someone trust you? How do you build other leaders without fearing they'll surpass you? And when the blame starts flying, what does a healthy culture do instead? In this episode: The hospice house story — what it means when your leader takes off their dress shirt and slings furniture alongside you in the South Carolina heat Why you should never want to be the smartest person in the room — and what it signals when a leader does How Matt builds future leaders by putting them in every room, every meeting, and every hard conversation — before they need to be there The critical difference between blame (which looks backward) and accountability (which looks forward) What Matt wants people to say about him when it's all over — and why treating the janitor the same as the CEO isn't cliché, it's the whole thing This is the episode for leaders who are willing to ask themselves the harder question: not "am I good at this?" — but "who am I becoming?" www.YourHealth.Org

Most organizations take their best performer, hand them a title, and call it a promotion. What they don't tell that person is that everything that made them great at their job is now working against them. In this first installment of a two-part conversation, Jamie sits down with Matt Whitehead — Chief Ancillary Officer at Your Health — to explore one of the most overlooked transitions in healthcare leadership: the shift from being an exceptional doer to becoming a leader others will actually follow. In this episode: Why the moment Matt stepped into his first nursing home administrator role cracked the foundation of everything he thought he knew about leadership The dangerous myth that new leaders walk in as "instant experts" — and how that belief causes their teams to start managing them Why the dopamine hit of checking things off a to-do list disappears in leadership, and what you have to build to replace it How to delegate without losing your mind — and why being crystal clear on outcomes matters more than anything else Why conflict is never a problem to be eliminated — it's information to be used This episode is for every high-performer who has stepped into a leadership role and felt the ground shift beneath them. You're not alone — and it's not a flaw. It's the beginning. www.YourHealth.Org
