I'm a speech language pathologist on staff at the Aphasia Center of California and I see clients with aphasia and other neurogenic communication disorders in my LPAA-focused private practice. I'm also a member of the Aphasia Access Podcast Working Group. Aphasia Access strives to provide members with information, inspiration and ideas that support their aphasia care through a variety of educational materials and resources.   I'm today's host for an episode that will feature Dr. Elizabeth Hoover, who was selected as a 2024 Tavistock Trust for Aphasia Distinguished Scholar, USA and Canada.   Liz Hoover is a clinical professor of speech language and hearing sciences and the clinical director of the Aphasia Resource Center at Boston University. She holds board certification from the Academy of Neurologic Communication Disorders and Sciences, or ANCDS, and is an ASHA fellow. Liz was a founding member of Aphasia Access and served on the board for several years. She has 30 years of experience working with people with aphasia and other communication disorders across the continuum of care. She's contributed to numerous presentations and publications, and most of her work focuses on the effectiveness of group treatment for individuals with aphasia. Liz, welcome back to the podcast.   So in 2017 you spoke with Ellen Bernstein Ellis about intensive comprehensive aphasia programs or ICAPs and inter professional practice at the Aphasia Resource Center at BU and treatment for verb production using VNest, among other topics. So this time, I thought we could focus on some of your recent research with Gayle DeDe and others on conversation group treatment.   Liz Hoover Sounds good.   Lyssa Rome All right, so my first question is how you became interested in studying group treatment?   Liz Hoover Yeah, I actually have Dr. Jan Avent to thank for my interest in groups. She was my aphasia professor when I was a graduate student doing my masters at Cal State East Bay. As you know, Cal State East Bay is home to the Aphasia Treatment Program. When I was there, it preceded ATP. But I was involved in her cooperative group treatment study, and as a graduate student, I was allowed to facilitate some of her groups in this study, and I was involved in the moderate-to-severe group. She was also incredibly generous at sharing that very early body of work for socially oriented group treatments and exposing us to the work of John Lyons and Audrey Holland. Jan also invited us to go to a conference on group treatment that was run by the Life Link group. It's out of Texas Woman's University, Delaina Walker-Batson and Jean Ford. And it just was a life changing and pivotal experience for me in recognizing how group treatment could not be just an adjunct to individual goals, but actually be the type of treatment that is beneficial for folks with aphasia. So it's been a love my entire career.   Lyssa Rome And now I know you've been studying group treatment in this randomized control trial. This was a collaborative research project, so I'm hoping you can tell us a little bit more about that project. What were your research questions? Tell us a little bit more.   Liz Hoover Yeah, so thank you. I'll just start by acknowledging that the work is funded by two NIDCD grants, and to acknowledge their generosity, and then also acknowledge Dr. Gayle DeDe, who is currently at Temple University. She is a co- main PI in this work, and of course it wouldn't have happened without her. So you know, Gayle and I have known each other for many, many years. She's a former student, doctoral student at Boston University, and by way of background, she and I were interested in working together and interested in trying to build on some evidence for group treatment. I think we drank the Kool Aid early on, as you might say.   And you know, just looking at the literature, there have been two trials on the evidence for this kind of work. And so those of us who are involved in groups, know that it's helpful for people with aphasia, our clients tell us how much they enjoy it, and they vote with their feet, right? In that they come back for more treatments. And aphasia centers have grown dramatically in the last couple of decades in the United States.   So clearly we know they work, but what we don't know is why they work. What are those essential ingredients, and how is that driving the change that we think we see? And from a personal perspective, that's important for me to understand and for us to have explained in the literature, because until we can justify it in the scientific terms, I worry it will forever be a private-pay adjunct that is only accessible to people who can pay for it, or who are lucky enough to be close enough to a center that can get them access—virtual groups aside, and the advent of that—but it's important that I think this intervention is validated to the scientific community in our field.   So we designed this trial. It's a randomized control trial to help build the research evidence for conversation, group treatment, and to also look at the critical components. This was inspired by a paper actually from Nina Simmons Mackie in 2014 and Linda Worrell. They looked at group treatment and showed that there were at least eight first-tier elements that changed the variability or on which we might modify group conversation treatment. And so, you know, if we're all doing things differently, how can we predict the change, and how can we expect outcomes?   Lyssa Rome So I was hoping you could describe this randomized, controlled trial. You know, it was collaborative, and I'm curious about what you and your collaborators had as your research questions.   Liz Hoover So our primary aims of the study were to understand if communication or conversation treatment is associated with changes in measures of communicative ability and psychosocial measures. So that's a general effectiveness question. And then to look in more deeply to see if the group size or the group composition or even the individual profile of the client with aphasia influences the expected outcome.   Because if you think about group treatment, the size of the group is not an insignificant issue, right? So a small group environment of two people has much more… it still gives you some peer support from the other individual with aphasia, but you have many opportunities for conversational turns and linguistic and communication practice and to drive the saliency of the conversation in a direction that's meaningful and useful and informative.   Whereas in a large group environment of say, six to eight people with aphasia and two clinicians, you might see much more influence in the needed social support and vicarious learning and shared lived experience and so forth, and still have some opportunity for communication and linguistic practice. So there's conflicting hypotheses there about which group environment might be better for one individual over another.   And then there's the question of, well, who's in that group with you? Does that matter? Some of the literature says that if you have somebody with a different profile of aphasia, it can set up a therapeutic benefit of the helper experience, where you can gain purpose by enabling and supporting and being a facilitator of somebody else with aphasia.   But if you're in a group environment where your peers have similar conversation goals as you, maybe your practice turns, and your ability to learn vicariously from their conversation turns is greater. So again, two conflicting theories here about what might be best. So we decided to try and manipulate these group environments and measure outcomes on several different communication measures. We selected measures that were linguistic, functional, and psychosocial.   We collected data over four years. The first two years, we enrolled people with all different kinds of profiles of aphasia. The only inclusion criteria from a communication perspective, as you needed some ability to comprehend at a sentence level, so that you could process what was being said by the other people in the group. And in year one, the treatment was at Boston University and Temple University, which is where Gayle's aphasia center is housed. In year two, we added a community site at the Adler Aphasia Center and Maywood, New Jersey, so we had three sites going.   The treatment conditions were dyad, large group, and then a no treatment group. So this group was tested at the same time, didn't get any other intervention, and then we gave them group treatment once the testing cycle was over. So we call that a historical control or a delayed-treatment control group. And then in years three and four, we aim to enroll people who had homogeneous profiles.   So the first through the third cycle was people with moderate to severe profiles. And then in the final, fourth cycle, it was people with mild profiles with aphasia. This allowed us to collect enough data in enough size to be able to look at overall effectiveness and then effects of heterogeneity or homogeneity in the group, and the influence of the profile of aphasia, as well as the group size.   And across the four years, we aim to enroll 216 participants, and 193 completed the study. So it's the largest of its kind for this particular kind of group treatment that we know of anyway. So this data set has allowed us to look at overall efficacy of conversation group treatment, and then also take a look at a couple of those critical ingredients. Does the size of the group make a difference? And does the composition of your group make a difference?   Lyssa Rome And what did you find?   Liz Hoover Well, we're not quite done with all of our analysis yet, but we found overall that there's a significant treatment effect for just the treatment conditions, not the control group. So whether you were in the dyad or whether you were in a large treatment group, you got better on some of the outcome measures we selected. And the control group not only didn't but on a couple of those measures, their performance actually declined. And so showing significantly that there's a treatment effect. Did you have a question?   Lyssa Rome Yeah, I wanted to interrupt and ask, what were the outcome measures? What outcome measures were you looking at?   Liz Hoover Yeah. So we had about 14 measures in total that aligned with the core outcome set that was established by the ROMA group. So we had as our linguistic measure the Comprehensive Aphasia Test. We had a primary outcome measure, which was a patient reported measure of functional communication, which is the ACOM by Will Hula and colleagues, the Aphasia Communication Outcome measure, we had Audrey Holland and colleagues' objective functional measure, the CADL, and then a series of other psychosocial and patient reported outcome measures, so the wall question from the ALA, the Moss Social Scale, the Communication Confidence Rating Scale in Aphasia by Leora Cherney and Edie Babbitt.   Lyssa Rome Thank you. When I interrupted you to ask about outcome measures. You were telling us about some of the findings so far.   Liz Hoover Yeah, so our primary outcome measures showed significant changes in language for both the treatment conditions and a slightly larger effect for the large group. And then we saw, at a more micro level, the results pointing to a complex interaction, actually, between the group size and the treatment outcome. So we saw changes on more linguistic measures. like the repetition sub scores of the CAT and verb naming from another naming subtest for the dyad group, whereas bigger, more robust changes on the ACOM the CADL and the discourse measure from the CAT for the large group.   And then diving in a little bit more deeply for the composition, these data are actually quite interesting. The papers are in review and preparation at the moment, but it looks like we are seeing significant changes for the moderate-to-severe group on objective functional measures and patient reported functional measures of communication, which is so exciting to see for this particular cohort, whose naming scores were zero, in some cases, on entrance, and we're seeing for the mild group, some changes on auditory comprehension, naming, not surprisingly, and also the ACOM and the CADL. So they're showing the same changes, just with different effect sizes or slightly different ranges. And once again, no change in the control group, and in some cases, on some measures, we're seeing a decline in performance over time.   So it's validating that the intervention is helpful in general. What we found with the homogeneous groups is that in a homogeneous large group environment, those groups seem to do a little better. There's a significant effect over time between the homogeneous and the heterogeneous groups. So thinking about why that might have taken place, we wonder if the shared lived experience of your profile of aphasia, your focus on similar kinds of communication, or linguistic targets within the conversation environment might be helping to offset the limited number of practice trials you get in that larger group environment.   So that's an interesting finding to see these differences in who's in the group with you. Because I think clinically, we tend to assign groups, or sort of schedule groups according to what's convenient for the client, what might be pragmatic for the setting, without really wondering why one group could be important or one group might be preferential. If we think about it, there are conflicting hypotheses as to why a group of your like aphasia severity might have a different outcome, right? That idea that you can help people who have a different profile than you, that you're sharing different kinds of models of communication, versus that perhaps more intense practice effect when you share more specific goals and targets and lived experiences. So it's interesting to think about the group environment from that perspective, I think,   Lyssa Rome And to have also some evidence that clinicians and people at aphasia centers can look to help make decisions about group compositions, I think is incredibly helpful.   Earlier, you mentioned that one of the goals of this research project has been to identify the active ingredients of group therapy. And I know that you've been part of a working group for the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System, or RTSS. Applying that, how have you tried to identify the active ingredients and what? What do you think it is about these treatments that actually drives change?   Liz Hoover I'll first of all say, this is a work in process. You know, I don't think we've got all of the answers. We're just starting to think about it with the idea, again, that if we clinically decide to make some changes to our group, we're at least doing it with some information behind us, and it's a thoughtful and intentional change, as opposed to a gut reaction or a happenstance change. So Gayle and I have worked on developing this image, or this model. It's in a couple of our papers. We can share the resources for that. But it's about trying to think of the flow of communication, group treatment, and what aspects of the treatment might be influential in the outcomes we see downstream.   I think for group treatment, you can't separate entirely many of the ingredients. Group treatment is multifaceted, it's interconnected, and it's not possible—I would heavily debate that with anybody—I don't think it's possible to sort of truly separate some of these ingredients. But when you alter the composition or the environment in which you do the treatment, I do think we are influencing the relative weight of these ingredients.   So we've been thinking about there being this group dynamics component, which is the supportive environment of the peers in the group with you, that social support, the insider affiliation and shared lived experience, the opportunity to observe and see the success of some of these different communication strategies, so that vicarious learning that takes place as you see somebody else practice. But also, I think, cope in a trajectory of your treatment process.   And then we've got linguistic practice so that turn taking where you're actually trying to communicate verbally using supported communication where you're expanding on your utterances or trying to communicate verbally in a specific way or process particular kinds of linguistic targets. A then communication practice in terms of that multimodal effectiveness of communication.   And these then are linked to these three ingredients, dynamic group dynamics, linguistic practice and communication practice. They each have their own mechanism of action or a treatment theory that explains how they might affect change. So for linguistic practice, it's the amount of practice, but also how you hear it practiced or see it practiced with the other group participant. And the same thing for the various multimodal communication acts. And in thinking about a large group versus the dyad or a small group, you know you've got this conflicting hypothesis or the setup for a competing best group, or benefit in that the large group will influence more broadly in the group dynamics, or more deeply in the group dynamics, in that there's a much bigger opportunity to see the vicarious learning and experience the support and potentially experience the communication practice, given a varied number of participants.   But yet in the dyad, your opportunity for linguistic practice is much, much stronger. And our work has counted this the exponential number of turns you get in a dyad versus a large group. And you know, I think that's why the results we saw with the dyad on those linguistic outcomes were unique to that group environment.   Lyssa Rome It points, I think, to the complexity of decision making around group structure and what's right for which client, maybe even so it sounds like some of that work is still in progress. I'm curious about sort of thinking about what you know so far based on this work, what advice would you have for clinicians who are working in aphasia centers or or helping to sort of think about the structure of group treatments? What should clinicians in those roles keep in mind?   Liz Hoover Yeah, that's a great question, and I'll add the caveat that this may change. My advice for this may change in a year's time, or it might evolve as we learn more. But I think what it means is that the decisions you make should be thoughtful. We're starting to learn more about severity in aphasia and how that influences the outcomes. So I think, what is it that your client wants to get out of the group? If they're interested in more linguistic changes, then perhaps the dyad is a better place to start. If they clearly need, or are voicing the need, for more psychosocial support, then the large, you know, traditional sized and perhaps a homogeneous group is the right place to start. But they're both more effective than no treatment. And so being, there's no wrong answer. It's just understanding your client's needs. Is there a better fit?   And I think that's, that's, that's my wish, that people don't see conversation as something that you do at the beginning to build a rapport, but that it's worthy of being an intervention target. It should be most people's primary goal. I think, right, when we ask, what is it you'd like? “I want to talk more. I want to have a conversation.” Audrey Holland would say it's a moral imperative to to treat the conversation and to listen to folks' stories. So just to think carefully about what it is your client wants to achieve, and if there's an environment in which that might be easier to help them achieve that.   Lyssa Rome It's interesting, as you were saying that I was thinking about what you said earlier on about sort of convincing funders about the value of group treatment, but what you're saying now makes me think that it's all your work is also valuable in convincing speech therapists that referrals to groups or dyads is valuable and and also for people with aphasia and their families that it's worth seeking out.   I'm curious about where in the continuum of care this started for the people who were in your trial. I mean, were these people with chronic aphasia who had had strokes years earlier? Was it a mix? And did that make a difference?   Liz Hoover It was a mix. I think our earliest participant was six months post-onset. Our most chronic participant was 26 years post-onset. So a wide range. We want, obviously, from a study perspective, we needed folks to be outside of the traditional window of spontaneous recovery in stroke-induced aphasia.   But it was important to us to have a treatment dose that was reasonable and applicable to a United States healthcare climate, right? So twice a week for an hour is something that people would get reimbursed for. The overall dose is the minimum that's been shown to be effective in the RELEASE collaborative trial papers. And then, you know, but still, half, less than half the dose that the Elman and Bernstein Ellis study found to be effective. So there may be some wiggle room there to see if, if a larger dose is more effective.   But yeah, I think it's that idea of finding funding, convincing people that this is not just a reasonable treatment approach, but a good approach for many outcomes for people with chronic aphasia. I mean, you know, one of the biggest criticisms we hear from the giants in our field is the frustration with aphasia being treated like it's a quick fix and can be done. But you know, so much of the work shows that people are only just beginning to understand their condition by the time they're discharged from traditional outpatient services. And so there's a need for ongoing treatment indefinitely, I think, as your goals change, as you age, and as your wish to participate in different things changes over a lifetime,   Lyssa Rome Yeah, absolutely. And I think too, when we think about sort of the role of hope, if you know, if there is additional evidence showing that there can be change after that sort of traditional initial period, when we think that change happens the most, that can provide a lot of hope and motivation, I think, to people.   Liz Hoover yeah, we're look going to be looking next at predictors of change, so looking at our study entrance scores and trying to identify which participants were the responders versus the non-responders that you know, because group effects are one thing, but it's good to see who seems to benefit the most from these individual types of environments.   And an early finding is that confidence, or what some people in the field, I'm learning now are referring to as actually communication self-efficacy, but that previous exposure to group potentially and that confidence in your communication is inversely correlated with benefits from treatment on other measures. So if you've got a low confidence in your ability to communicate functionally in different environments, you're predicted to be a responder to conversation treatment.   Lyssa Rome Oh, that's really interesting. What else are you looking forward to working on when it comes to this data set or other projects that you have going on?   Liz Hoover Yeah. So as I mentioned, there's a lot of data still for us to dig into, looking at those individual responders or which factors or variables might make an impact. There is the very next on the list, we're also going to be looking very shortly at the dialogic conversation outcomes. So, it's a conversation treatment. How has conversation changed? That's a question we need to answer. So we're looking at that currently, and might look more closely at other measures. And then I think the question of the dose is an interesting one. The question of how individual variables or the saliency of the group may impact change is another potentially interesting question. There are many different directions you can go.   You know, we've got 193 participants in the study, with three separate testing time points, so it's a lot of data to look at still. And I think we want to be sure we understand what we're looking at, and what those active ingredients might be, that we've got the constructs well defined before we start to recruit for another study and to expand on these findings further.   Lyssa Rome When we were meeting earlier, getting ready for this talk, you mentioned to me a really valuable video resource, and I wanted to make sure we take some time to highlight that. Can you tell us a little bit about what you worked on with your colleagues at Boston University?   Liz Hoover Yes, thank you. So I'll tell you a little bit. We have a video education series. Some of you may have heard about this already, but it's up on our website so bu.edu/aphasiacenter, and we'll still share that link as well. And it's a series of short, aphasia-friendly videos that are curated by our community to give advice and share lived experiences from people with aphasia and their care partners.   This project came about right on the heels of the COVID shutdown at our university. I am involved in our diagnostic clinic, and I was seeing folks who had been in acute care through COVID being treated with people who were wearing masks, who had incredibly shortened lengths of stay because people you know rightly, were trying to get them out of a potentially vulnerable environment. And what we were seeing is a newly diagnosed cohort of people with aphasia who were so under-informed about their condition, and Nina that has a famous quote right of the public being woefully uninformed of the aphasia condition and you don't think it can get any worse until It does.   And I thought, gosh, wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to point them to some short education videos that are by people who have lived their same journey or a version of their same journey. So we fundraised and collaborated with a local production company to come up with these videos. And I'll share, Lyssa, we just learned last week that this video series has been awarded the ASHA 2025 Media Outreach Award. So it's an award winning series.   Lyssa Rome Yeah, that's fantastic, and it's so well deserved. They're really beautifully and professionally produced. And I think I really appreciated hearing from so many different people with aphasia about their experiences as the condition is sort of explained more. So thank you for sharing those and we'll put the links in our show notes along with links to the other articles that you've mentioned in this conversation in our show notes. So thanks.   Liz Hoover Yeah, and I'll just put a big shout out to my colleague, Jerry Kaplan, who's the amazing interviewer and facilitator in many of these videos, and the production company, which is Midnight Brunch. But again, the cinematography and the lighting. They're beautifully done. I think I'm very, very happy with them.   Lyssa Rome Yeah, congrats again on the award too. So to wrap up, I'm wondering if there's anything else that you want listeners to take away from this conversation or from the work that you've been doing on conversation treatments.   Liz Hoover I would just say that I would encourage everybody to try group treatment. It's a wonderful option for intervention for people, and to remind everyone of Barbara Shadden and Katie Strong's work, of that embedded storytelling that can come out in conversation, and of the wonderful Audrey Holland's words, of it being a moral imperative to help people tell their story and to converse. It's yeah… You'll drink the Kool Aid if you try it. Let me just put it that way. It's a wonderful intervention that seems to be meaningful for most clients I've ever had the privilege to work with.   Lyssa Rome I agree with that. And meaningful too, I think for clinicians who get to do the work.   Liz Hoover, thank you so much for your work and for coming to talk with us again, for making your second appearance on the podcast.

MedEvolve collaborates with tens of thousands of physicians and 50+ provider organizations nationwide, who in 2022, submitted $3.8B worth of claims with their assistance. They have over 90 employees, and their annual revenues are close to $20M. Matt has over 24 years of management consulting experience in the healthcare sector and is very skilled in the evaluation, design, and execution of process improvement programs and the development of new technologies that can be applied across the entire revenue cycle. He spent most of his early career assisting health businesses of all sizes in aligning people, processes, and technology as a revenue cycle consultant with Stockamp/Huron, PwC, and Deloitte. Matt also founded and served as the CEO of Interpoint Partners, a provider of business intelligence solutions, which he sold to Streamline Health Solutions in 2011. He remained in the company after he sold it as the Chief Strategist of Revenue Cycle and later as the Senior Vice President of Solutions Strategy until 2014. Before taking a full-time position at MedEvolve, he managed worldwide sales for NantHealth and offered consulting services to healthcare technology and service companies around the country. Quick recap Summary Matt Seefeld's Journey and My Life Link App Matt Seefeld, a former Deloitte consultant turned healthcare software entrepreneur and recovering alcoholic, discussed his personal and professional journey with Michael. Matt shared how his experiences with addiction and recovery inspired him to create a free app called My Life Link, connecting people struggling with various addictions to a supportive digital community. Michael agreed to promote the app and show notes on his platform to help those in need. They also touched upon the skills and challenges required in entrepreneurship and leadership. Concerns Over Healthcare Challenges and Transformation Michael, who has a long-term experience in healthcare administration, expressed his concerns about the challenges and reluctance in the healthcare industry to make necessary adjustments and take risks. He highlighted the increasing older population's need for more healthcare providers, yet many are closing their practices. Matt furthered these concerns, pointing out the rising costs of delivering care, the apathy in the system, and the lack of transparency in payment and administrative processes. He emphasized the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of the business side of healthcare, likening it to Henry Ford's early 1900s revolution in the automotive industry. Transforming Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management Matt emphasized the need for a significant transformation in the healthcare industry, particularly in revenue cycle management. He identified the issue as one of high turnover, low wages, and a lack of motivation due to the high number of touches required to get payment for services. He suggested reducing touches and using non-emotional objective data to hold people accountable for their work. He also pointed out the problem of select patients in certain communities, which is a result of the high cost of healthcare services. Matt proposed that AI and machine learning technologies could help transform the industry, but only after identifying the areas where human involvement is crucial. Finally, he stressed the importance of helping providers drive margins and retain their independence to ensure access to quality healthcare services. Employee Clarity, Ownership, and Attitude Matt and Michael emphasized the importance of employees understanding their roles and the company's mission. Matt argued that lack of clarity on these points often leads to workplace dissatisfaction. Michael concurred, stressing that employees should take ownership of their experiences and strive to improve processes. He also highlighted the need for discipline and a positive attitude to make work more enjoyable and fulfilling. Both agreed that this approach benefits not only the individual but also the organization as a whole. Overcoming Burnout Through Self-Actualization Burnout in the workplace affects individuals differently despite having the same job and workload due to factors like mindset, energy levels, and approach to life. Michael and Matt emphasize the importance of self-actualization, discipline, and taking ownership of one's goals, using the example of a potential professional athlete who needs to be obsessed with achieving their dreams through consistent actions and effort. Self-Worth, Maladaptive Behavior, and Goal Setting Matt spoke about the challenges of self-worth and maladaptive behavior. He emphasized that individuals should not derive their self-worth from external factors such as other people's opinions or career success. Instead, he advocated for setting personal goals and building a lifestyle based on intrinsic values, highlighting that this approach fosters greater satisfaction and reduces stress. He also shared his own career journey, expressing regret for not following his instincts earlier in his career, and offered advice to his younger brother, encouraging him to pursue his passions without fear of failure. Goal Setting, Emotions, and Discipline Matt and Michael discussed the importance of setting and achieving goals, as well as the role of thoughts and emotions in their pursuit. Matt emphasized that one should question whether they are in the right role and passionate about their work. Michael suggested writing down daily goals and dealing with negative thoughts by understanding their triggers and learning from them. They both agreed on the need for discipline and consistency in pursuing goals, and the impossibility of escaping one's own thoughts by changing locations or circumstances. Matt's Journey to Sobriety and Lifelink App Matt emphasized the importance of living in the present moment and not dwelling on future worries or past failures. He shared his struggles with anxiety and how it manifested in his sports activities as a child. He also discussed his journey towards sobriety and the creation of the sober app, Lifelink, with his twin brother. Matt highlighted the importance of personal responsibility in overcoming addiction and encouraged listeners to seek help if they were struggling. Selflessness and Kindness: Making a Positive Impact Matt emphasized the importance of selflessness in life, stating that focusing on others and serving them without expecting anything in return had a positive impact on himself and those around him. He shared his hope to inspire others to continue this selfless spirit even after he's gone. Michael also shared a personal experience where his small act of picking up litter and disposing of it properly made a positive impact on someone else's day, highlighting the significance of such simple acts of kindness. Empathy, Gratitude, and Helping Others Michael and Matt discussed the importance of helping others and being grateful for their own blessings. Matt shared how a simple act of kindness, like coaching a child in baseball, can make a significant impact on someone's life. They also discussed the value of empathy and how it can lead to a ripple effect of positivity. Matt encouraged people to take small steps towards helping others, and invited listeners to connect with him through his LinkedIn and LifeLink app.

This week I have a replay of a powerful interview with Debra Dickinson. Debra became disabled and thought she would be unable to travel as she always dreamed of doing. When she was told she might not have long to live, Debra decided it was time to start checking things off her bucket list. The first thing was travel. What Debra discovered was that hitting the road and finding quiet and peace is actually the thing that saved her. Listen in to her powerful story.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week I'm thrilled to bring you an episode of What's Next!

She is also the author of Tomorrowmind.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… organizations seeking to foster greater resilience and creativity in their teams.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… when the going gets tough, there's a natural inclination to retreat to our foxholes and safe places. Gabriella suggests we can prepare for these moments by learning and teaching our teams skills for resilience. The result is a powerful trickle effect: resilient leaders encourage resilient employees, and resilient employees create a competitive advantage for the organization.    WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… the path before us does not revolve around any one single change. It's not about a pandemic or recession. The work to be done is preparing for the entire body of challenges rather than reactively responding to each one that we encounter.    Running Time: 26:07   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani on Social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Gabriella Online: Official Website LinkedIn Instagram   Gabriella's Book: Tomorrowmind

We talk with Greg Johnsen, CEO at Lifelink Systems, Inc. #TogetheRx we are transforming patient engagement across the healthcare industry by giving hospital systems and life sciences companies advanced conversational technology to interact with patients where they spend their time — messaging on mobile devices. Our technology turns the smartphone into the next-generation healthcare worker, capable of handling complex workflows at unlimited scale. Information technology has come a long way, but successful user engagement has proven to be a surprisingly daunting last-mile challenge. Healthcare is complicated and the digital tools offered to patients reflect that, which results in low adoption and satisfaction. Delivering digital patient experiences remains a strategic priority, but the healthcare industry needs to reimagine patient-facing technology. The challenge remains: How do we make the complex exceedingly simple, exceedingly intuitive? It turns out that the simplest, most intuitive human interface is a conversation. It's natural, requires no training, is infinitely flexible, self-directed, and responsive. With smartphone adoption rates approaching 90%, the opportunity to engage in conversation-based information exchanges is in the palms of everyone's hands. Today, any human with a mobile phone can converse with complex IT systems with ease, and immediately, by relying on smart, context-aware digital assistants. The technology for enabling conversational AI will transform consumer engagement strategies across every industry sector, but it will have an especially profound impact on process-centric customer care industries. Like Healthcare. Conversational AI not only closes a service gap, it improves the quality of the service itself while also providing the engagement horsepower to scale up service operations profitably. Digital assistants carry the encoded protocols, orders, and best practices to the patient in the form of smart, engaging conversations. Importantly, conversational AI technology doesn't replace human expertise and services, it augments care teams by taking on all of the redundant, high-volume processes. Companies that are taking advantage of this powerful new technology are transforming the patient experience, and dramatically improving customer service across the board.

Alex De Quesada Sr. is the classic American success story. Unable to complete medical school in Castro’s Cuba, he moved to the U.S. “with $5” in his pocket and ended up at a hospital in Jacksonville, Florida.

Listen to guest host and fellow Cuban Randy Batista interview Dr. De Quesada in Radio Cade’s first Spanish-language episode.

Please join host Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino with guest Amy Tippins of Rock Scar Love. Amy Tippins founded RockScar Love Designs® in 2010, seeking to realize her dream of owning a business while using that platform to inspire, empower, and enrich the lives of others. Her generous and empowering spirit permeates all aspects of the business – from the unique one-of-a-kind branded apparel to her poignant blog and her perky tweets. Rock Your Scar.Pay It Forward.

A message with the high purpose of helping others embrace their scars and use their challenging life experiences to pay it forward by helping others do the same. After receiving her liver transplant over 18 years ago, she began to see the unlimited opportunities people in the global community have to pay it forward. “If people can simply accept themselves and embrace both their physical and emotional scars, they will create an environment that has potential to give rise to something amazing,” says Tippins.  Tippins uses her personal time to speaking at multiple community and charity events about overcoming adversity and turning heartache in triumph. She also volunteers time with multiple organizations in her community. She has volunteered at Camp Independence and Camp Second Chance. Tippins also enjoys public speaking with Lifelink of Georgia, Georgia Transplant Foundation, National Kidney Foundation and other civic organizations. Her past activities include Atlanta Jaycees, United States Master's Swimming Association, and coaching basketball with Camp All American.  She also loves include cooking out, yoga, spin class, entertaining and modeling.
