LORI PRESTESATER SPENT HER CAREER BUILDING COMPANIES AND RUNNING P&LS. THEN SHE JOINED A 175-YEAR-OLD INSTITUTION AND ASKED WHAT IT COULD BECOME. Laurie McGraw sits down with Lori Prestesater, former Senior Vice President of Health Solutions at the American Medical Association, on the eight years she calls the pinnacle of her career, and the transition out of it. Most people would not describe the AMA as a high-growth opportunity. Lori came from payers, provider groups, and high-growth technology, and took on the work of turning a traditional publishing organization — one that put out books, codes, and data formats — into a data organization. She is candid that the hard part was never the technology. It was culture, change management, and leading by influence rather than authority, including with the physician volunteers who sit nowhere on an org chart. The conversation also goes where most leadership interviews do not: what happens when a woman who worked seven days a week and put herself last finally has to decide what she wants next. In this episode: - Why a high-growth executive chose a 175-year-old association, and what surprised her when she arrived - The CPT code set as the backbone of revenue cycle, and why it has to evolve as medicine does - CPT Intelligence — built on a private large language model, with content tagged using graph database technology — and how it supports autonomous coders, EHRs, payers, and prior authorization - Why the biggest challenge in any transformation is cultural, not technical - Building the data labs team with Sandeep Dhamale, and the platform he left behind - The credentialing product launched during her tenure: under two years in market, just under 150 customers, deployed across just under 700 locations, with customers reporting up to a 30% reduction in physician onboarding time - Six months to see a primary care physician in San Francisco, and why an incredibly cumbersome application process compounds the shortage for patients, health systems, and physicians alike - Taking the complex and making it simple — the skill she undervalued early in her career - Putting mission first when your instinct is growth: the art and science of medicine for the betterment of public health - Handing Health Solutions to Jeremy Knight, and why she believes he is better suited to the next chapter - Advising AMA CEO Dr. John Whyte on special projects during her transition - Moving back to Colorado after years of not living in the same state as her husband - Moving her mother, who just finished her term as board chair of a hospice organization at 88 - A new grandchild, a daughter navigating new motherhood, a newly married son - Where board work fits into what comes next, after years spent on the staff side of the table - Women Business Leaders, and the principle at its core: who mentors the mentors? - Why senior leadership gets lonely, and why you need people for the good times and the bad - The book Ask For It, and why she has given it to so many young women - Her closing advice: be confident, talk less and listen more, know your superpowers, backstop your weaknesses, and build a network that will advocate for you when you struggle to advocate for yourself Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw.

Send us Fan MailWhen a teenager expresses suicidal thoughts to an AI chatbot, what happens next?In this clip from our episode “Who Sets the Rules for AI in Medicine?”, hosts David E. Williams and John Driscoll and Dr. John Whyte, CEO of the American Medical Association, break down why minors need stronger protections from AI chatbots than adults do, and why the line between a wellness app and a medical device matters more than the industry wants to admit.Listen to the full episode here

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.

Why does searching your symptoms online always leave you more frightened than before? As former chief medical officer of WebMD, physician John Whyte spent years believing more information meant better health — until he saw how too much of it was making people spiral. In a world of health influencers, algorithms and AI tools designed to keep you clicking, he reveals why clarity and context is a better prescription.

In this special 50th Celebration Service at IBTI, John Whyte reflects on the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus. In a moment of confusion and grief, they walk a familiar path unaware that Jesus Himself is drawing near. This message invites us to consider how God may be present in the ordinary moments of our own journey, even when we don't immediately recognise Him.

Dr. John Whyte has spent his career at the intersection of medicine, media and public policy. Now, as CEO of the American Medical Association, he hears firsthand what physicians, patients and health leaders are most concerned about and what they expect from the future of healthcare. That perspective makes him an ideal guest for Season 11 of Fixing Healthcare with cohosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr. This season's guests bring more than impressive résumés and large social-media followings. They bring insight into what people across the country are actually talking about: the fears they express, the questions they ask and the expectations they carry into exam rooms, boardrooms and online conversations. Whyte has held leadership roles at the FDA and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. He later became chief medical officer at WebMD and chief medical expert for Discovery Channel. In each position, he has focused on translating complex medical issues into clear, actionable information. In this conversation, he shares what he is hearing now and why the answers will require both cultural and structural change. Key highlights include: Three concerns dominate for physicians. Whyte opens by identifying what he hears most often across the country: frustration with prior authorization and payment incentives in Medicare and Medicaid, anxiety about scope-of-practice changes, and uncertainty about how physicians should lead (rather than react to) the rapid rise of digital health and generative AI. Medicaid disruption and impact on children. Whyte explains that policy changes at both federal and state levels could leave vulnerable populations without coverage or access to care. He emphasizes that nearly half of U.S. children rely on Medicaid. Payment models and physician autonomy. The discussion explores tensions between fee-for-service, Medicare Advantage and value-based approaches. Whyte argues that physicians must retain meaningful choice in how they practice and get paid, even as consolidation and employment models reduce autonomy. Generative AI as “augmented intelligence.” Whyte notes that more than 80% of physicians now use AI tools professionally, largely for documentation and communication tasks. The real opportunity, he says, lies in improving diagnosis, personalization and continuous monitoring. Home as the future site of care. From wearables to smart diagnostic devices, Whyte envisions a shift away from episodic office visits toward continuous monitoring and preventive care. Outcome-based reimbursement. Pearl asks whether paying for outcomes could unlock broader adoption of AI-enabled tools. Whyte acknowledges the promise but highlights practical challenges, including patient complexity, burnout and the risk that efficiency gains could simply lead to higher patient volumes. The evolving physician-patient relationship in the AI era. With a growing share of patients using generative AI before appointments, Whyte encourages clinicians to view digitally informed patients as partners. Open dialogue, trusted sources and shared decision-making, he argues, will define effective care in the years ahead. There's so much more to this episode.

John Whyte, Deputy Director of UNRWA Affairs, details the conditions in Gaza where he has lived since the outbreak of the war.

On Monday, Israel formally notified the United Nations of its intention to sever all ties with the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa).It follows the Israeli parliament's vote last week to ban Unrwa from operating in Isael and Palestinian territories and prohibiting all Israeli state contact with the agency.The ban is not set to take effect for another three months but Israel has already contacted the UN secretary general officially withdrawing itself from a 1967 co-operation agreement with Unrwa.What are the implications of this ban, both immediate and long-term?Can Unrwa staff continue to carry out their work without co-operation from Israeli authorities and if not, can other agencies really fill the gap that UNRWA would leave behind?John Whyte, Unrwa's head of projects who is currently based in Gaza, joins In The News, to discuss the consequences of this ban on the Palestinian people, and whether the agency can continue to operate without Israeli co-operation.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

How many times have you turned to a search engine to diagnose your latest ache and pain? Perhaps you visit the doctor and leave the surgery confused and befuddled? Finding and implementing accurate health information - especially preventative measures - can be extremely challenging. It's hard to know what to believe online and some medical professionals are not known for their communication skills. In this LLAMA podcast episode Dr. John Whyte, Chief Medical Officer at WebMD, explains the business of sharing reliable advice.  In a world where information travels fast,  how do we navigate the myriad sources and figure out the best path forward.  Dr. Whyte, author of Take Control of Your Cancer Risk, also discusses his growing appreciation of gratitude and the power of purpose, as tools to prevent disease and enjoy optimum health.Recorded: Dec 6, 2021 | Read a transcript and show notes at the LLAMA podcast website.The Live Long and Master Aging podcast, a HealthSpan Media LLC production, shares ideas but does not offer medical advice.  If you have health concerns of any kind, or you are considering adopting a new diet or exercise regime, you should consult your doctor.Affiliation disclosure: DoNotAge.org is offering listeners to LLAMA a 10% discount on its range of products, including NAD boosters.

It is often stated that the average American fears spiders more than death. We can probably add sharks to that list too (did you know that the risk of being attacked, not dying, is 1 in 5 million?). After Jaws came out many Americans canceled their beach vacations. But what are Americans doing about the fact that 1 in 7 of us ultimately die of cancer? The popular narrative is that it runs in your family, and you get it or you don't. It turns out, however, that 70% of cancers are based on lifestyle choices. Last week I spoke with Dr. John Whyte, the CMO of WebMD and the author of Take Control of Your Cancer, now a bestseller on Amazon.Dr. Whyte and I spoke about some of the tangible things you can do to lower your risk of getting cancer, like sleeping more, and eating more fish. We started our discussion with a topic that is the focus of most of Dr. Whyte's day job - misinformation. In an age where opinions dress up like facts, it is comforting to know that every piece of content on WebMD is reviewed by a medical expert, and has a source, a link to the credentials of the reviewer, and a date. Dr. Whyte started a daily Coronavirus news show as a means of getting people information, which has changed so rapidly over the past 2 years. We spoke of the importance of staying relevant, and distilling what the public needs to know into manageable clips. John believes that if we give people better information, they will have better health. Fake news is a problem, but fake medical news is quite literally Dr. Whyte's problem, and it is killing people. Recently, Dr. Malone was a guest on Joe Rogan's podcast, which created an upheaval in the medical community. I wanted to dive into some of the controversial content with Dr. Whyte, so we touched on natural immunity versus vaccine-induced-immunity, and which the data says is more effective. As Dr. Whyte appropriately noted, nobody who is hospitalized with Covid thought they were the one that was going to have a bad outcome, and so it behooves us to do everything we can to protect ourselves. We still need more studies, and better instruments to detect various measures of immunity, until which it is not possible to definitively state if natural immunity is as strong as passive immunity.While there has been a lot of buzz about the low mortality rate of Omicron, John was quick to point out that it isn't just like the flu. Particularly for those people with underlying conditions, Omicron can push them over into acute states, and so while it may not be Omicron that kills them, their underlying condition might well. We ended with the discussion on cancer I alluded to at the start of the notes. 1 in 7 Americans die of cancer, and many more are diagnosed in their lifetime. Millions of cases are diagnosed each year, and 600K people die each year in this country of cancer. John noted that while we speak to patients often about how to reduce their risk of diabetes, and other chronic diseases, we don't often talk to people about how to prevent cancer.We know sleep is one of the most important factors in determining cancer risk, and that shift workers have significantly increased instances in hormone based cancer (i.e. Prostate, and Breast Cancer). Some governments have even started to reimburse those workers who have developed cancer at an earlier age. Dr. Whyte noted that what we eat is as powerful as a prescription drug (and my next guess will be Jon Hix, CEO of Season, who has created a platform for food as medicine). Data has increasingly shown that red meat causes an increased risk in rectal cancer. The biggest change folks could make, according to Dr. Whyte, is to consume more fish.  Stay tuned for more on food as medicine next week!
