Oregon hospitals are “on the brink” according to a recent Oregon Hospital Association report. Half of them are losing money on operations, and more than two-thirds say they don’t have the resources to keep up with patient care. The data is from 2024, and anticipated federal cuts to Medicaid make the outlook even worse. Becky Hultberg, the President and CEO of the Hospital Association of Oregon, said in the report that if the trends continue or worsen, the state will see “a cascade of service closures, hospital consolidations or hospital closures.” Hultberg also said, “Oregon already has the second fewest hospital beds per capita. We can’t afford to lose these beds.” Hultberg joins us to tell  us more about some of the interrelated and complex factors that have led to this state of affairs, and what she sees as possible solutions.

On this week's interview Paul sits down with Troy Clark. Troy is head of the New Mexico Hospital Association which represents most hospitals throughout New Mexico.

Finally, the conversation broadens out to the health care provider shortage and what can and should be done to address it. 

Howard Dulude, Interim President, Hospital Association of Rhode Island joins the show to discuss the closure of Anchor Medical, which will cause some 25,000 Rhode Islanders to lose their primary care physician, and how the closure fits into the broader issue of the state's healthcare crisis.

Rhode Island's largest hospital group, Lifespan, changed its name last June to Brown University Health. The name change and related agreements were billed as a way to improve patient care, medical education and biomedical research in the state. But making headway against Rhode Island's healthcare challenges is more difficult than changing a name. The state suffers from a lack of primary care doctors. Reimbursement rates for Medicaid and Medicare are lower than in neighboring states, putting Rhode Island at a competitive disadvantage. And the Hospital Association of Rhode Island advocacy group warns that Governor Dan McKee's recent budget proposal would hurt hospitals and the patients who rely on them. As president/CEO of Brown University Health, John Fernandez is on the frontline of facing these issues. So can Rhode Island improve healthcare while reducing costs? What is the answer for the state's medical reimbursement problem? And how is the financial outlook for the state's top two hospital groups? This week on Political Roundtable, I'm going in-depth with president/CEO of Brown University Health John Fernandez.

Charity is on a lot of our minds this time of year, and hospitals throughout Wisconsin thought it was perfect time to brag about their supposed largess. The Hospital Association just released a report about all the charity that non-profit hospitals are doing and claimed things like that don't happen in the free market. Too bad for them, the MacIver Institute, Wisconsin's premiere free market think tank, saw that report, and decided to look into that claim. We quickly found multiple academic studies from places like Harvard and John Hopkins that show for-profit hospitals actually provide more charity care than non-profits both in Wisconsin and across the country. Also, according to the IRS, non-profits are required by law to provide that care. True charity doesn't come from government compulsion. It has to be given freely, and the only place you'll find the conditions to do that is in the free market.

Hospitals and health systems can play a big role in addressing healthcare disparities in our nation. It's the focus of our latest podcast series. Today, we zero in on a statewide health equity initiative that is first of its kind in the nation.  Through a historic 1115 Medicaid waiver, Massachusetts hospitals have made a commitment to come together with the state to embed equity into the foundation of their operations.  “This really does entail an intentionality on the part of our hospital systems that I think is unmatched in many ways — an intentionality and a will and a drive and a desire to do this work," says Izzy Lopes, Vice President of health equity for the Massachusetts Health and Hospital Association. Health Disparities podcast host Dr. Mary O'Connor speaks with Lopes about the statewide initiative that aims to address healthcare disparities. Lopes explains why it's important to prioritize people over percentages, use data to drive health equity strategies, and collaborate with community partners to address patients' health-related social needs.  Never miss an episode – subscribe to The Health Disparities podcast from Movement Is Life on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hospital, clinics and pharmacies in Minnesota and across the country are reeling from a cyberattack. Change Health, which is a subsidiary of Minnetonka-based UnitedHealth Group was hacked on Feb. 21 by a ransomware gang known as ALPHV/BlackCat. A post on a hacker forum popular with cyber criminals claimed that United Health paid a $22 million ransom to recover access to data and systems.The speculated ransom payment would be the second-highest ransom payment in U.S. history if confirmed. Now the federal government has said it is working with UnitedHealth Group in its response. In the meantime, the hack is still wreaking havoc on the health care system. Minnesota Hospital Association CEO Dr. Rahul Koranne joined MPR News Host Cathy Wurzer to talk about the impacts in Minnesota.UnitedHealth Group has a statement on their website that reads in part, “We've made progress in providing workarounds and temporary solutions to bring systems back online in pharmacy, claims and payments. We continue to be proactive and aggressive with all our systems, and if we suspect any issue with the system, we will immediately take action.”

For the second time in Charting Pediatrics history, we brought a live audience together to watch the taping of an episode with a guest who has made an everlasting impression on our hospital system.

Under her leadership, Children's Colorado has been routinely identified as one of the country's top 10 pediatric healthcare systems. In recent years, her advocacy for greater pediatric behavioral healthcare is a notable example of her dedication to research and innovation.  In today's episode, we welcome Jena Hausmann, the CEO and president of Children's Colorado. “I think leaders really should be authentic and should role model, always, their true leadership self and impact. I do think it is important for any of us to see ourselves reflected in whether it's gender or race or ethnicity or age or you name it,” says Hausmann.  Some highlights from this episode include:   Jena's career evolution and how she landed in her current role How to make an impression in healthcare administration The role that mentors play in career growth  The example she aims to set for women in leadership How Jena's authenticity and vulnerability enhance her leadership The trends in U.S. healthcare that will impact how we care for kids For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org
