Jeff Bennett, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer at Modivcare, is addressing and expanding supportive care services to provide transportation, personal care services, and remote patient monitoring. A lack of transportation leads to missed appointments and therapies, necessitating a coordinated approach to support vulnerable populations. Modivcare utilizes remote sensors and AI to enhance human engagement and coordination, and is designed to be both preventative and predictive, keeping patients healthy and out of the hospital.  Jeff explains, "Modivcare works on behalf of health plans, states, and risk-based entities. We provide supportive care services that meet the needs and address the needs of patients. One of those services is transportation, so non-emergency medical transportation. We also provide personal care services, which support members with activities of daily living, like bathing, meal preparation, and such. And then finally, I lead the monitoring organization, which provides services to monitor members or patients at home so they can live and age at home on their own." "The biggest need, at the top, is that our members have health-related social needs or SDOH needs. They also are living with chronic conditions, so they need supportive care services that not only provides that core service -- so there's the obvious "I need a ride" or "if I press the button because I've fallen and I need 911 to be called if I need an ambulance or my caregiver or family member to come help me." But most importantly, the services that they need are providing an engagement service. Really, what we provide is a supportive care service that drives human connection through cutting-edge technology that drives continuous engagement. They always know that we're here, and we listen to them. We understand their needs and try to address those needs, which could be healthcare-related, social-related, or simply loneliness. So it spans that broad spectrum. And any one of our services, we're delivering that core service, but we're also driving engagement and listening for what else the member needs." #Modivcare #SDOH #SupportiveCareServices #MedAI #DigitalHealth #CareCoordination modivcare.com Download the transcript here

Zakem assumes the role as California, like many governments, is accelerating its embrace of artificial intelligence. Justin Hendrix spoke with Zakem about the promise of state-led innovation and how to avoid its perils, what responsible AI governance might mean in practice, and how California might chart a course that's both ambitious and accountable to its citizens.

Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com We all know the quote from Peter Drucker, "If you can measure it, you can manage it."   It's pretty easy to apply when throwing a javelin but difficult when measuring success in complex software development projects. Today, we sat down with Jeff Gallimore, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer and founder of Excella. He brings with him decades of experience collaborating with teams on successful federal projects. We start by noting the fallacy of using one metric to measure success. While completing the initiative on time might make an agency administrator happy, that will change rapidly if compliance is not achieved, and scaling will break the system into pieces. Jeff has seen breakthroughs using a framework called DORA, DevOps Research and Assessment). The key metrics are deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, and failed deployment recovery time.  These metrics, now part of Google, are research-based and predictive of IT and organizational outcomes. They emphasize the importance of a holistic approach, avoiding single-metric focus, and the role of leadership and culture in fostering high-performing teams
