In this episode, we explore the complex and often debated concept of value in prescription drugs. They discuss how different stakeholders—payers, manufacturers, providers, regulators, and patients—define value, and how methodologies like health technology assessments (HTA) and cost-effectiveness analyses shape drug pricing and access. With insights from leading experts, the conversation examines the controversies surrounding value-based pricing, including the role of real-world evidence, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and innovation incentives. Can we strike a balance between affordability, innovation, and patient access? And what does the future hold for value-based drug pricing in the U.S.?

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to former Congressman Robert Andrews, a graduate of Cornell Law School, an original author of The Affordable Care Act, and CEO of the Health Transformation Alliance (HTA). Rob is here today to speak about the fundamental importance of an effective health care system to every individual and some of the ways the US healthcare system can be improved.  During our 40-minute discussion, we discussed the complex landscape of healthcare in the US that tends to separate physicians and other providers from their patients. Rob estimated that 30% of the money spent in our healthcare system goes to people who are not directly involved in patient care, and “that's too much.”During our interview, Rob described how the HTA lowers overhead and improves outcomes by focusing on education, prevention and removing barriers to prescription and provider access.Please click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

We made the trek out to Templeton, Pennsylvania, for our second Human Trafficking Awareness Range Day event. If you've been listening for a while, you've no doubt heard us rave about the experiences we had last year, both good and bad. We doubled down on the experience this year and got a AirBnB and added two dudes to our crew. We split ourselves up and took even more individual courses than last year, and have a ton to speak on in this debrief conversation. From Breaching, to pistol grip and vision. to 2-Man CQB and precision carbine, there was so much we were able to learn and experience this year. All of that, coupled with getting to connect with, and meet, some truly stellar and exception people in our community, made this an incredible trip. Give this one a listen, see what you missed out on, and keep your eye on the HTA social media so you can make it out and join us next year!Visit our sponsors!Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comOne Hundred Concepts - www.onehundredconcepts.comRMA Defense - www.rmadefense.com code 'PreparedMindset5' to save 5%

Alan Down is a gardening broadcaster and writer and current HTA president, shortly to be replaced by Will Armitage after two eventful years.He studied at Cannington and Pershore College of Horticulture and after a spell working Germany, he developed and managed Hillier Nurseries' container grown and seed propagation nurseries for nine years.For the following 35 years, Alan built up Cleeve Nursery and Garden Centre, near Bristol and alongside hi wife Felicity, co-presented the long-standing ‘Garden Calendar' TV programme.On the podcast Alan talks about his role at the HTA including presiding over changes in structure and strategy.He discusses his desire to shift the terminology and emphasis of production horticulture from 'ornamental' to 'environmental' horticulture which runs alongside the topics the HTA engages with, including with the Government. These topics include the issues of trade and border checks, "the extra costs [growers] incur... and we continue to apply pressure to try and resolve the issues that are there. We also have huge concern about the few inspections that there are, which means that we are a threat in terms of importing pests and diseases which could be harmful to our industry and indeed to the country as a whole".He discusses the on-going shift away from peat. In the absence of official figures (since 2022) he estimates garden centre use of peat-based growing media is down to around 10%, but the picture with growers is more complex."Some have been growing peat-free for quite some time. Others are still trialling and finding out what medium works for them and how to handle growing plants in peat -free compost and others may not have even started. But we are there to support our members in this transition and we'll continue to do that."He and HortWeek editor Matt Appleby discuss the Lords Parliamentary horticultural inquiry of 2023 and the impact, if any, it has had since on the sector, which has partly been disrupted by the arrival of a new Government, Alan points out.But. Alan says, he believes the HTA is well-placed to influence the new administration as an institution which represents growers, landscapers and retailers. He talks about initiatives such as inviting MPs to visit growers on site and the opportunity exhibiting at Chelsea gives the HTA to meet them in a "in a more relaxed mood'.Matt and Alan talk about the health of horticulture shows including collaborations with GIMA, Alan's enthusiasm for more regional events and the HTA's own conference taking place on September 25 at the International Conference Centre in Birmingham.And as he celebrates his 50th wedding anniversary, he contemplates life after the HTA and what it might hold as well as his latest Desert Island plant.

As hard as it is to believe, its been just over three months since Josh has been on for a conversation, but he's finally back, and we have a lot to catch up on. From a training rotation to the dirty south, to our upcoming trip back to Ben Franklin Range for the annual HTA range day event, we get into what we've been doing both with the podcast, as well as the community, and what we have in store for some of our next steps. The last time we heard from Josh, we had just completed the three day Orion Training Group Flexible search course, and were in the first week of May. Fast forward to no the end of August, and we've had so much happen. Jumping from talking about a training rotation in Louisiana and the poison ivy that came with it, to talking night vision housings, personal preparation for the election, and rising global tensions, Josh and I get into a whole lot while catching up.

rWotD Episode 2624: R4M Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Wednesday, 10 July 2024 is R4M.R4M, abbreviation for Rakete, 4 kilogramm, Minenkopf (English: Rocket, 4 kilogram, Mine-head), also known by the nickname Orkan (English: Hurricane) due to its distinctive smoke trail when fired, was a folding-fin air-to-air rocket used by the Luftwaffe at the end of World War II.The R4M was used on several late war German combat aircraft, most notably the Messerschmitt Me 262, and could be fired from open ramps under aircraft wings or from tubes inside under-wing rocket pods. It featured a high capacity "mine shell" equivalent warhead filled with 520 g (1.15 lb) of the explosive-mixture HTA 41 (also known as HTA 15), which consists of 40% Hexogen (RDX), 45% TNT and 15% aluminium. The shell-walls of the warhead were only 0.8 mm (0.0315 in) thick.Besides the air-to-air warhead the rocket could also be outfitted with shaped charge warheads for air-to-ground use, then called R4HL for hohlladung (English: hollow charge). These warheads were called Panzerblitz (English: Armor-lightning) and existed in two primary versions: Panzerblitz 2 (PB 2), consisting of an 88 mm Panzerschreck warhead fitted with a ballistic cap, and Panzerblitz 3 (PB 3), consisting of the original 55 mm mine-warhead modified to be a shaped-charge.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:10 UTC on Wednesday, 10 July 2024.For the full current version of the article, see R4M on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

Episode 90 finds us with long time personal friend, and friend of the show, Henry O! Listen in as we catch up on what's been going on the last couple of months and find out what we've been obsessing about. Did you know that Texas has it's very own Sound Garden? Well, Susie got to play in it and had the time of her life, Katie has adopted a puppy called Goose, and Henry has made Fort Worth his permanent residence and put out a new album, The Garden.    As per usual, the episode is a little all of the place, but the chaos makes it fun, right?!    You can catch Henry the Archer playing all over the state in support of the new EP, but specifically, you can see them this Saturday at Division Brewing (Hi, Wade!) along with our friends in Mean Motor Scooter, and Denver Williams (who wrote the theme song for this podcast).    Listen to the podcast, listen to the album (The Garden by HtA), let us know your favorite song and what you think! 

Welcome to this month's episode of the P4A Let's Talk Rare podcast by Partners4Acess. Today, Georgie and Owen are joined by their colleagues Pina Haberl, Senior Director, and Sam Morrison, Executive Director at Partners4Access. Join us as we discuss the crucial role of patient experience data in drug development.  The conversation explores the need for drug developers to understand patient perspectives and gather data on their experiences, preferences, and needs. Pina and Sam highlight how patient experience data can improve drug development and clinical trial design while differentiating products in the market. They also address challenges in collecting and integrating patient data and the importance of involving patients early in the process.  Also discussed is how some regulators and health technology assessment (HTA) bodies have started to accept patient experience data in their decision-making processes, but there is still uncertainty and inconsistency in how it is used.  There is a call for more collaboration among stakeholders, including payers, policymakers, and patient groups, to establish best practices for collecting, analyzing, and utilizing patient experience data. Pina emphasizes the need for patients to have a seat at the table and be heard in decision-making processes. She mentions initiatives, such as partnering with patients and conferences, but acknowledges that there is still a long way to go. A study published in Cambridge University Press investigated the utilization of patient preference (PP) data in health technology assessment (HTA) bodies worldwide. An exploratory survey by the HTA International Patient and Citizen Involvement Interest Group gathered insights from 40 members across twelve countries. Results showed that 82.5% of respondents formally considered PP data in HTA reviews, yet only 39.4% reported its frequent inclusion in assessments due to time and resource limitations.  PP data moderately influenced decision-making processes and outcomes, with a higher impact on decision quality. Participants suggested patient advocacy groups should play a primary role in generating and submitting such evidence. The study highlights barriers to broader integration and proposes collaborative workshops for further investigation.

Fargro managing director Richard Hopkins speaks to HortWeek about spring optimism, the upcoming general election and peat, water, border inspections and crop protection.He says growers should talk to policymakers using policy asks from the HTA, AIC and NFU. Key issues are peat, plant health, plant protection products and water.On crop protection he says there is still no National Action Plan and why that is significant. He says he would like CRD to be an "enabler" so the industry can use the full range of plant protection products, but that would require a change of culture from being a regulator.On peat-free transition, he speaks about how demand is now coming from consumers and retailers. He says he would be more comfortable that reduction is driven by demand rather than legislation, which is unlikely to happen anytime soon anyway. Peat-free should be framed as an opportunity for growers to get on the right side of consumer sentiment. A 'cliff edge risk' exists because there will be a lack of production in the UK and imports could rise.Target Border Operating Model issues remain because this looks like a bad idea for 'plants for planting' as they are fragile and come in groupage loads. Inspection points could become 'infection points' and actually spread and pests and diseases he argues. Places of Destination inspections are his preferred option.A further issue is water. Growers need larger reservoirs. We have feast or famine at the moment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today, I'm so excited to introduce you to Kristy and her HTA Success Story. Kristy's story is one that is relatable to so many women. She came to me when she was in a really challenging season of life. For years she struggled with burnout, extreme stress & anxiety, adrenal fatigue, and debilitating fatigue that left her in bed if she wasn't working.  Very much like myself and many of my clients, Kristy had tried what felt like every modality under the sun to try and heal. And while the functional world offered her mild relief, she felt like she was walking on eggshells - avoiding stress at all costs and making sure she was taking all the right supplements and eating all the right food.  As a single mom with a demanding job, this just wasn't working for her! And even after being told she might need 7 years to recover, she didn't accept that as her reality.  Kristy has completely turned her life around in 8 weeks through HTA! Her story feels like one of those “miraculous” jaw-dropping inspiration stories that need to be shared across the world to inspire others to take the leap and believe in their own ability to self-heal.  In today's episode, she not only shares her story but also her advice for anyone who is on their healing journey. She is full of wisdom and actionable tips, and I know you're going to LOVE this episode.  As mentioned, the doors to my transformation program The Health Transformation Accelerator opened on January 31st and we are back BIGGER and BETTER than before with an extra month of coaching and 6 extra coaching calls!!

Former New Jersey Congressman and Health Transformation Alliance (HTA) CEO Robert Andrews joins Eric to discuss how HTA –  a cooperative of more than 60 of America's leading employers –and its members employers are fixing our broken healthcare system by sharing data, challenging the status quo and implementing innovative solutions. Robert shares many bright spots from HTA, including initiatives in medication management and infant mortality. He explains how the cooperative has saved its member companies well over $2 billion in healthcare costs to date.   About Robert As CEO of the HTA, Robert oversees the strategic direction of approximately 60+ major corporations that have come together in an alliance to fix the broken healthcare system. He is also the Chairman of the Board of Lolo Health, a health tech company that connects consumers to a high-value health experience. Andrews previously led the Government Affairs practice at Dilworth Paxson law firm for two years before joining the HTA.   Before private practice, Andrews served as a Member of the United States House of Representatives for nearly 24 years. Upon his departure from Congress, President Barack Obama praised Andrews' service as “an original author of the Affordable Care Act…and a vital partner in its passage and implementation” and cited his “tenacity and skill” in representing the people of New Jersey.   About HTA The Health Transformation Alliance (HTA) is a cooperative of more than 60 of America's leading employers coming together to fix the broken healthcare system. Formed by four founding members in September 2015, the HTA member companies collectively are responsible for over 8 million employees, dependents, and retirees with an annual healthcare spend of $30+ billion.  Some members include Walgreens, 3M, Marriott, Shell, Coca-Cola and NextEra Energy.

I just want to stop here and have a gratitude moment. I wanted to thank the Pittsburgh Business Group on Health for inviting me to do the keynote at their annual symposium. It was a big honor. But in doing so, I had the opportunity to play clips from both the podcast and also from people who helped out and gave me a custom clip special for the occasion. So, thanks to Matt Ohrt; Jodilyn Owen; Justina Lehman (who provided a clinical pathway example); Andreas Mang; Larry Bauer; Rob Andrews (my guest in this episode); Nicole Bradberry; Amy Scanlan, MD; Rebecca Etz, PhD; David Muhlestein, PhD, JD; Lisa Trumble; and Doug Eby, MD, MPH, CPE. If you'd like a copy of that presentation, which is all about care gaps and the impact of care gaps especially as it might relate to self-insured employers, click here to request it. I also again want to thank Havarti Risk Services and Keith Passwater for a super nice donation to support the show, as well as Employees First. Please support these organizations who have supported us and help us keep the lights on over here. I am so looking forward to the show today. It is with Rob Andrews, who is the CEO of the Health Transformation Alliance (HTA), which is a group made up of jumbo employers. I had wanted to get Rob on the show ever since I heard him say at the thINc360 conference in DC earlier this summer, “Morally abhorrent doesn't move the needle. What moves the needle is financial implications.” This interview was my chance to ask Rob Andrews, what are these financial implications of which you speak that move needles? Financial implications to whom? What kinds of financial implications are we talking about? And when that needle moves, what happens? In the show that follows, Rob says that when you improve the health of employees and dependents and actually just the health of the community, you as an employer improve your financials directly and also indirectly, which Rob talks about relative to maternal health outcomes as his exemplar because, as a case study, it's undeniably superb. It's really interesting how employers in a geography wind up footing indirectly a rather shockingly large bill for babies and uninsured or underinsured moms or moms on Medicaid avoidably going to the ICU and the NICU, which the hospitals tally up as hundreds of thousands of dollars in billed charges. The term million-dollar baby is a term, after all. Listen to the episode that follows for more on these indirect costs and how they happen, but let me focus on the direct bucks out of pocket right now because … yeah, study after study shows that, for self-insured employers, if you pay for the right things and you steer to the right providers in the right care settings known to actually improve health, a self-insured employer and the member do a whole lot better than if the employer kind of laissez-faire pays for any manner of things provided by anybody who can manage to submit a billing code—even if that billing code comes with a too-good-to-be-true discount. Rob talks about how the HTA has data to suggest that if you, as a self-insured employer, lean in on paying for the right things, readmissions go down 29%. Total cost of care is 15% lower. Drugs cost 25% less. So, none of this is theoretical, as we talk about how employers can create a win-win—better health, lower costs. There are jumbo employers in the HTA right now who are doing this. I love how Will Shrank, MD, has put it; and I'm paraphrasing, but it's a point that keeps getting reiterated in episode after episode here on Relentless Health Value: There's a difference between paying for what you want and just negotiating allegedly cheaper prices. Buying things is not a strategy. And that is true no matter what price you think you're paying. Also not a strategy is buying things and then cost shifting to plan members, by the way. I love how Josh Butler uses a grocery analogy to describe but one possible flashpoint. Strategy, on the other hand, means addressing root causes. It's a considered plan of action to achieve an optimized ambition. Here is the strategic stepwise that Rob offers on this: 1. Discern the difference between rumor and data. Get your data and get it objectively analyzed by an objective third party, self-insured employers. Similar to what Justina Lehman was talking about last week (EP414), then you have what you need to figure out the delta between the worst performers and the best performers on a risk-adjusted basis. 2. Now that you know what normal is and what good looks like, gang up and negotiate contracts that hold intermediaries accountable for outcomes and with performance guarantees. Address root causes and the excess and wasteful spend, in other words. Listen to the show with Dr. Will Shrank (EP413) for more on wasteful spend. 3. Be transparent with consumers/employers about relative quality. Educate them. You may also want to reward members who go to see those high-quality docs and/or make it expensive for them to go to the worst performers. There are lots of win-win case studies here on how well this works. Rob Andrews and I talk a bunch, as aforementioned, using maternal outcomes as a case study for lots of the points made; and this was done for several reasons. One is that, for some employers, maternity is a large chunk of their healthcare spend; so avoidably bad outcomes for moms and babies here is not only scandalous, as Rob Andrews puts it, in a country as wealthy as ours but also really costly—and many times avoidably so. Keeping even one mom and/or one baby out of the ICU or NICU can save hundreds of thousands of dollars. I said this already, and it's a brutal number worth repeating. But the good news is that there are really cost-effective pathways that actually work to keep moms and babies out of the most expensive care settings money can buy. Jodilyn Owen (on an episode coming up in about three weeks) talks about one of them in detail: how her maternal health clinic, which serves ZIP codes with, let's just say, a lot of social determinants of health going on, moms in her clinic have a lower rate of NICU admissions than even the fancy ZIP codes nearby. So, this can be done. Purchasers of healthcare just have to demand that it happens and pay for it to happen. Rob Andrews talks about this, and he also talks about why it is quite unlikely that payer or provider organizations themselves are gonna pick up this torch and make this happen unilaterally of their own volition. Now, he offers some nuance, and you should listen to that nuance.   You can learn more by emailing Rob at randrews@htahealth.com.   Robert E. Andrews is the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Health Transformation Alliance (HTA), an original author of the Affordable Care Act, and a former member of Congress. As CEO of the HTA, Robert oversees the strategic direction of approximately 60+ major corporations that have come together in an alliance to do one thing: fix our broken healthcare system. Formed by four founding members in September 2015, the HTA member companies collectively are responsible for more than 8 million employees, dependents, and retirees with an annual healthcare spend of $30+ billion. Through Robert's leadership, the HTA has launched value-driven solutions specifically designed to improve patient care and economic value through world-class data and analytics, pathbreaking pharmaceutical solutions, high-quality medical networks, and robust consumer engagement initiatives. To date, the cooperative has saved its member companies well over $2 billion in healthcare costs. Robert's leadership has been equally important in the HTA developing programs addressing racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare, mental health issues, and safe return-to-work programs following the pandemic. Robert served as a member of the United States House of Representatives for nearly 24 years. Upon his departure from Congress, President Barack Obama praised Robert's service as “an original author of the Affordable Care Act … and a vital partner in its passage and implementation.”   07:29 How did Rob get to his current role? 09:11 The problem of maternal health and mortality rate, and how self-insured employers wind up directly and indirectly paying for this. 10:36 Why economic consequences move the needle, and why sometimes they don't. 12:36 Why the best way to address costs isn't to re-shift costs but to address them directly. 14:34 Why compensation that isn't dependent on outcomes is a problem. 18:09 “Strategy's not what people say; it's what they do.” 21:40 How do you operationalize saving money with better outcomes? 29:46 How do employers turn conflict into collaboration? 31:41 What is the win-win-win structure among employers, payers, and providers in Rob's eyes? 34:13 To whom should the task of risk adjustment fall? 38:03 “Better contracts do improve outcomes.”   You can learn more by emailing Rob at randrews@htahealth.com.   Rob Andrews of HTA Health discusses how employers can save money and get better #healthcareoutcomes on our #healthcarepodcast. #podcast #digitalhealth #valuebasedcare #healthcare   Recent past interviews: Click a guest's name for their latest RHV episode!

Discussing recent Maui devastation from fires specifically in Lahaina, HI. Ilihia Gionson brings more than a decade of experience to HTA developing and executing strategies for federal, state and municipal government agencies, businesses, and non-profit organizations. He most recently was the founder and principal of Hiehie Communications, where he provided strategic integrated communications and community outreach services to a range of clients across Hawaii in hospitality, renewable energy, and sustainable development. He has also served as field representative and Hawai‘i communications director for U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard from 2018-2020, as well as executive assistant and communications director for the late Hawaii County Mayor Billy Kenoi from 2011-2016.In this newly created position developed through the recent restructuring of HTA, Gionson will be responsible for anticipating, gathering, analyzing, and interpreting opinions, attitudes, and issues that may affect the organization and its mission, Malama Kuu Home (caring for my beloved home) through the principles of regenerative tourism. He will also work with the HTA Board of Directors, executives, and staff to formulate communications and disseminate information to HTA stakeholders and the public about how the organization's activities will enhance community well-being. In addition, he will be responsible for HTA's government relations, media communications, issue management, corporate and social responsibility programs, information dissemination, and strategic communications.“Ilihia brings a strong background in community building and government relations to our HTA leadership team and we are excited to have him join as we continue to execute on our strategic plan,” said John De Fries, HTA president and CEO. “Effective communication and engagement is a key part of building greater collaboration between tourism and the community. His working knowledge of the unique tapestry of Hawaii, as well as the Hawaiian culture, has made him an effective strategist and communicator throughout his career.”With a strong history of guiding clients from within and outside Hawaii in sensitive and challenging situations, Gionson is well-versed in geographic and socioeconomic nuances across the islands. A kamaaina of Oahu and Hawaii Island, he is fully bilingual, trained in Hawaiian language and culture.“The visitor industry is a part of the fabric of Hawaii's society, amplifying our potential to help heal the world with the values that have guided us for generations,” said Gionson. “The industry has grown in ways that call upon us today to rebalance, realign and reprioritize. My hope is to continue the important work already taking place at HTA to build trust between the industry, the community, and our elected leaders through clear and responsive communication. At the end of the day, we are all neighbors and ohana in this home we love.”

There is a dynamic interplay between health economics, patient-centricity, and value assessment—an intersection that holds the key to unlocking better health outcomes, improved access to care, and sustainable healthcare systems.  With the principles of health economics guiding our decision-making processes in healthcare, we can allocate resources effectively and maximize the value delivered to patients. Patient-centricity lies at the heart of this convergence, emphasizing the importance of putting patients and their unique needs at the forefront of healthcare delivery. Despite decades of investment in patient-centered health care, decisions about access and value are typically made in the context of financial risk management, and often without the input of those who should benefit from care. In addition to a myriad of payment reform strategies, rising interest in cost-effectiveness evaluation commands a central place in the debate about how to measure and pay for high-quality, efficient, and equitable health care. This week on the Race to Value we are joined by Dr. Jason Spangler, the Chief Executive Officer for The Innovation and Value Initiative (IVI).  The IVI is a collaboration of scientists, patient organizations, payers, life sciences companies, providers and delivery systems dedicated to finding scientifically credible approaches to measuring value in healthcare.  The IVI provides the technical knowledge, resources, and collaborative learning platform that facilitate exploration and application of value-based care. In this podcast episode, you learn how partnership with patients, researchers, and industry and purchaser stakeholders can build consensus on the scope and inputs  needed for value assessment models.  Only by assessing true value in health care will we win the Race to Value!   Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 Podcast Introduction with background on Dr. Jason Spangler, the Chief Executive Officer for The Innovation and Value Initiative (IVI). 03:00 Support Race to Value by subscribing to our weekly newsletter and leaving a review/rating on Apple Podcasts. 04:30 Creating open-source models that allow researchers and decision-makers to explore, apply, and test scientifically credible approaches to measuring value in health care. 05:30 “The IVI is a nonprofit research organization that focuses on the science and the methodology for determining value, new medical technologies, and innovations.” 06:00 Health technology assessments (HTA) typically have only included payer perspectives (not the patient perspective!) 07:30 Going beyond the academic research understanding of value assessment to reflect real world patient experience. 08:00 How is patient-informed value assessment and comparative effectiveness research used to impact health policy at a national level? 11:00 Defining “value” from a health economist perspective provides the standard equation. 11:45 What is important to patients beyond the clinical outcomes – these must be measured too! 12:30 The costs of healthcare beyond the financial domain (e.g. time, future prospects, family) forces us to deviate from the simple value equation. 12:45 The “Value Flower” – the elements of value that are important to all stakeholders (e.g. QALYs Gained, Net Cost, Productivity, Equity, Hope, Knowing, etc.) 14:00 Asking patients what is important to them in the formation of specific patient-reported outcome measures. 15:00 “We typically look at cost effectiveness in terms of patient populations and averages. This must be balanced with individual patients or smaller patient communities.” 15:45 How good are we…really…in actually listening to patients?  Fee-for-service care complexity gets in the way of meaningful connection. 17:00 Using both qualitative and quantitative data to advance patient-centered innovation. 17:30 The IVI is driving innovation in value assessment through the Open-Source Value Projectwhich is a laboratory for advancing the science and im...

Hannah is a graduate of my most recent cohort, and she seriously takes trauma release and healing anxiety to the next level. Hannah shares her struggle with trauma - undergoing surgery at only a few weeks old, receiving a series of diagnoses and ultimately being bedridden only a few years ago. Hannah has struggled with debilitating anxiety throughout her life, and she was ready to finally get her life back. Her journey from anxiety to empowerment, from trauma to deep, deep trauma release and healing, and housebound to boxing is the example we all need to know that healing IS possible. We dive into what it took for her to create enough safety in the body through HTA so she could release the trauma that was holding her back. Hannah describes the experience of her trauma release that happened about midway through the program and what that release offered her in terms of healing. Hannah is an example of someone who does the work! You can see her dedication shine through as she touches on exactly how she got rid of her anxiety once and for all through the program. She is back to sleeping, working out, and enjoying life again. Listen in as Hannah shares how finding peace and healing through HTA changed her life in just 8 short weeks, and make sure to get a notepad and pen out to take notes on what she recommends others do to get started on their journey.

Megan shares a sneak peek from one of our live, in-person trainings.

They also talk about how it is the strategies that are important and having an identity level wherein you are able to create value from some of the negative things that are happening in your life and use it as a tool to improve yourself, learn, and allow more possibilities in your life.
