Is Big Food finally catching up to emerging brands on speed to market? As legacy CPG giants roll out protein- and fiber-forward innovations faster than ever, the team debates whether startups still hold the advantage. Plus, we give a heartfelt sendoff to Jacqui Brugliera as she departs BevNET after 12 years. Show notes: 0:23: Honoring A Legend. More Meetups! Heading West. Speedy Delivery. Creamy Everything. – Ray Latif and co-hosts John Craven and Mike Schneider mark Jacqui Brugliera's final show at BevNET after 12 years, sharing heartfelt praise for her impact as a teammate, friend, and steadying presence. The conversation then shifts to a recap of Taste Radio's recently held Miami meetup as well as an upcoming event in New York City on April 16. The hosts also discuss whether big CPG brands are catching up to entrepreneurial ones as they chase "better-for-you" trends like protein and fiber and whether legacy companies can truly match the credibility and branding agility of smaller players. They also riff on the rise of "creamy condiments" and highlight a new RTD Vietnamese coffee, a decaf sparkling coffee, buttermilk pancake mix, hop-infused cocktails, and a wave of new products from Athletic Brewing. Brands in this episode: Doritos, Smartfood, SunChips, Angie's Boomchickapop, Rebel Roots, Poppi, Fruities, CronchClub, Lasso, Tia Lupita, Bachan's, AleSmith, Athletic Brewing, Guinness, Fuzzee Coffee, North Shore Roasters, Phoenicia Diner

I sat down for a quick mini-pod with Mike Schneider to talk about one of the biggest topics in fingerboarding right now.. gatekeeping.. Is it helping the scene, or is it hurting it?Mike's been in the community longer than almost anyone, and with FlatFace, plus now bringing Blistered Fingerboard Wheels and Duck Decks under his wing, he's seen every era of fingerboarding. So he was the perfect person to get some honest insight from.This wasn't a full episode that one's coming early next year and we recorded this on the fly, so the video and audio aren't at the usual Bigspin quality. Thanks for bearing with it!I appreciate everyone who's been supporting the podcast, and I'd love to hear your take on gatekeeping in the comments. And huge thanks to Mike for jumping on and making time for this mini-pod.Support Mike!https://www.flatfacefingerboards.com/Support the show

From AI reshaping SEO to new expectations for patient engagement, leaders face both challenges and opportunities.

Healthcare marketers are navigating a landscape where martech is both exploding in scale and under pressure to prove its value.

The year was 1984. Prince came out with “Purple Rain.” Bruce Springsteen was touring for “Born in the USA.” And on the south side of Milwaukee, America’s polka king, Frankie Yankovic, performed at the Our Lady Queen of Peace parish festival. In attendance that day was six-year-old Mike Schneider. The Yankovic concert changed his life because it inspired Schneider to pick up the accordion. WPR’s Nick Rommel recently talked with the Wisconsin Polka Hall of Famer at a gig in Eagle.

In this morning’s deep dive, we spoke to consumer and money expert Joel Gibson about how Bunnings has monpolised the hardware industry. When we reached out to the hardware chain for comment, they were keen to dispute our assertion that it holds a leading stake in the market and insists big brands don’t equal bad brands. In part two of our look at Bunnings and how it’s managed to become cemented in Australia’s cultural zeitgeist, Sacha Barbour Gatt is joined by the chain’s Managing Director, Mike Schneider.Listen to part one on LiSTNR, Apple or Spotify now.

Headlines: Greens to push for 50 cent public transport nationwide, no survivors after Washington plane and helicopter crash, Australians facing long-term homelessness surges 25% in five years and Donald Trump calls for Elon Musk’s Space X to “go get” stranded ISS astronauts. Deep Dive: By all accounts, Bunnings is a true blue Aussie success story. What started in 1907 as a sawmill in WA now boasts more than 300 locations across Australia and New Zealand and reported revenue in 2024 of $19 billion. On top of that, the hardware giant has managed to crack into the cultural zeitgeist. Who doesn’t talk fondly about a weekend snag and peruse of the paint aisle? But amidst its praise and popularity comes quiet criticism about its monopoly over the Australian hardware industry, its mega profits, its sometimes sneaky marketing tactics and its ability to effectively wipe out the competition. So, why do we seem to love Bunnings, despite these things?On today’s special two-part investigation, Sacha Barbour Gatt answers that question with money and consumer expert, Joel Gibson.In part two, in your feed now, we ask Bunnings Managing Director, Mike Schneider, what he thinks of the answer.

The FBI has apprehended three minors in connection with a bank robbery that sent shockwaves through Houston, Texas. The suspects, aged 11, 12, and 16, have been dubbed "little rascals" by the agency, reminiscent of the mischievous characters from the 1955 TV series. According to the FBI's announcement on social media, "all three bank robbery suspects known as the 'little rascals' are in custody." The arrest follows allegations that the trio committed a daring robbery at a Wells Fargo bank in Houston on March 14. Details surrounding the identities of the juvenile suspects remain undisclosed, in line with legal protocols governing minors involved in criminal investigations. The Harris County Sheriff's Office, tasked with probing the incident, revealed that the boys entered the bank and presented a threatening note to a teller, as reported by ABC 13. Despite suspicions of carrying a weapon, authorities noted that none was displayed during the robbery. The boys purportedly fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash, making their escape on foot. In a bid to aid the investigation, the FBI released photos of the juvenile suspects on social media, appealing to the public for assistance. Remarkably, two of the suspects were identified and turned in by their own parents after the images circulated, underscoring the community's shock and disbelief at the involvement of such young individuals in a serious crime. Reacting to the unprecedented nature of the case, retired juvenile district court judge Mike Schneider expressed astonishment, stating, "The age of the younger two, that's unusual for a bank robbery." Schneider speculated about potential adult influence behind the alleged crime, highlighting a concerning trend where adults exploit minors for criminal activities. The minors have been charged with robbery by threat, according to FBI Houston. However, details regarding their legal proceedings remain unclear, including whether they are being held in a juvenile facility or have obtained legal representation. A criminal defense attorney consulted by ABC 13 outlined potential consequences if the suspects are convicted, indicating possible probation until they reach 18 or detention in a juvenile facility until they turn 19. As investigations continue, authorities are grappling with the complexities of addressing juvenile involvement in serious criminal offenses, raising broader questions about societal influences and the vulnerabilities of impressionable youth.

The FBI has apprehended three minors in connection with a bank robbery that sent shockwaves through Houston, Texas. The suspects, aged 11, 12, and 16, have been dubbed "little rascals" by the agency, reminiscent of the mischievous characters from the 1955 TV series. According to the FBI's announcement on social media, "all three bank robbery suspects known as the 'little rascals' are in custody." The arrest follows allegations that the trio committed a daring robbery at a Wells Fargo bank in Houston on March 14. Details surrounding the identities of the juvenile suspects remain undisclosed, in line with legal protocols governing minors involved in criminal investigations. The Harris County Sheriff's Office, tasked with probing the incident, revealed that the boys entered the bank and presented a threatening note to a teller, as reported by ABC 13. Despite suspicions of carrying a weapon, authorities noted that none was displayed during the robbery. The boys purportedly fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash, making their escape on foot. In a bid to aid the investigation, the FBI released photos of the juvenile suspects on social media, appealing to the public for assistance. Remarkably, two of the suspects were identified and turned in by their own parents after the images circulated, underscoring the community's shock and disbelief at the involvement of such young individuals in a serious crime. Reacting to the unprecedented nature of the case, retired juvenile district court judge Mike Schneider expressed astonishment, stating, "The age of the younger two, that's unusual for a bank robbery." Schneider speculated about potential adult influence behind the alleged crime, highlighting a concerning trend where adults exploit minors for criminal activities. The minors have been charged with robbery by threat, according to FBI Houston. However, details regarding their legal proceedings remain unclear, including whether they are being held in a juvenile facility or have obtained legal representation. A criminal defense attorney consulted by ABC 13 outlined potential consequences if the suspects are convicted, indicating possible probation until they reach 18 or detention in a juvenile facility until they turn 19. As investigations continue, authorities are grappling with the complexities of addressing juvenile involvement in serious criminal offenses, raising broader questions about societal influences and the vulnerabilities of impressionable youth.

This week on the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams interview Mike Schneider, Dealer Principal of Jim Taylor Motors in Fort Benton, MT. How does one become a dealer principal by 30 years old? What nuggets of knowledge has Mike learned in his automotive career? What is it like to be a dealer principal in a small Montana community? Mike Schneider knew from an early age that his goal was to become a dealer principal at a Ford dealership. Mike credits his time as a performance trainer for advancing his understanding of what makes a good, well-rounded manager. He learned that he couldn't expect sales to go up if, as the boss, he didn't put money into advertising, and in that same vein, he can't expect a better performance from a car salesman if, as a manager, he isn't promoting training. The new automotive mindset has moved away from the sink-or-swim mentality to more internal investments and personal investment to build up the sales team as a team. Management is the key skill that many people in the automotive industry struggle with, so listen in to see what lessons Mike Schneider can impart so you can take your automotive career to the next level! About Mike Schnider Mike Schnider grew up with a dad in that business, and as a kid, Mike worked on his dad's buy-here-pay-here lot in Spokane, Washington. During that time, Mike discovered his life goal to be a dealer principal of a Ford store. He started selling cars for a franchise auto dealer as a summer job in his second year playing college football. From there, Mike worked his way from sales to finance manager to the used care manager to general sales manager. Moving to the corporate side of the business doing performance training with dealerships around the country, the opportunity to purchase my Ford, Chevy, and GMC points became available. In 2019 Mike took over the dealerships and completed the full purchase of the facility and points in 2022, making Mike a first-generation dealer and sole dealer principal.

Last week's show was an encore episode with Dr. Aaron Mitchell (Encore! EP282), and we talked about buy and bill. To continue our exploration of specialty pharmacy intrigue, let's talk about so-called “bagging.” I wanted to get an overview of all of the different kinds of specialty pharmacy bagging. Bagging is a big deal. If you have anything to do with trying to control pharmacy costs or the clinical outcomes of specialty pharmacy patients, you too are going to want to understand what's going on here with bagging. I was thrilled to have a chance to chat with Keith Hartman, who is my guest in this healthcare podcast. He is the CEO of ContinuumRx. He's a pharmacist by education and has been in the pharmacy space for over 25 years now, touching just about every aspect of pharmacy from retail operations to long-term care and now, most recently, home infusion. This makes him an ideal person to chat with about this topic. And FYI, it was not easy to find someone to do so to clearly see the actions and reactions going on here because that's what this is all about: actions and reactions—how any self-respecting market distortion is going to cause a cascade of equal and opposite market distortions. So, let's cruise through the whole infused/injected specialty pharmacy historical play-by-play, shall we? It's like a “Who's on First?” routine—except very, very not funny. So, here we go. This is, of course, the semi-reductive abridged version; but let's do this thing. Once upon a time, the bagging story starts in ye olden days, meaning more than ten years ago, before specialty pharmacy drugs really became the massive profit centers for any party who can manage to get their fingers in the specialty pharmacy cookie jar. In these ancient and halcyon times, brown bagging was kind of a modus operandi. Don't forget, we're talking about infused or injectable drugs here, especially ones that need to be infused or injected in the provider's office. So, brown bagging means and meant when a specialty pharmacy drug is shipped directly to a patient, or a patient goes and picks up the specialty pharmacy drug at the pharmacy. Doc takes out prescription pad (this is in ye olden days, remember) and writes out the Rx. Patient picks up the drug from the pharmacy, which may be handed to them in a brown bag. Get it? But then they take that “brown bag,” as it were, to their doctor's office. The doctor takes the drug out of the brown bag and infuses or injects it. I say doctor's office because many times, in the olden days, that's where this went down. And this brown bagging had some issues, for sure; but specialty pharmacy drugs really weren't all that big of a thing either dollar-wise or frequency-wise. At some point in our story here, pharma manufacturers start seeing just exactly how much money the market will bear for specialty pharmacy drugs, and the prices of these specialty drugs go through the roof. At the same time, for a bunch of reasons I actually discussed with Dr. Bruce Rector (EP300), a whole bunch of these specialty pharmacy drugs start hitting the market all at once. So, these drugs have skyrocketing prices—and there's lots of them. At that point, some (certainly not all, but enough) CFOs at provider organizations were like—wowza, epiphany, light bulb moment—there's a lot of money that can be made here because buy and bill. In buy and bill, which I talked about last week with Dr. Aaron Mitchell, provider organizations get reimbursed the cost of the drug plus some percentage when they administer it—meaning the more expensive the drug, the more money a provider can make because a percentage of a bigger number is, of course, a bigger number. Add to that a party-sized container of other provider shenanigans to maximize revenue on specialty pharmacy patients—and that revenue got bigger every single year. A recent report just came out that, on average, for oncology drugs, some providers are making six times the cost of the drug. Six times the cost of a drug that can cost lots of zeros! Just wow—6x! That's real money. This is winning the lottery every single time a patient needing a specialty drug shows up on your doorstep. Continuing the tale here, this buy and bill health system extreme greed hits employers in their pocketbooks. And, of course, plan sponsors start desperately seeking relief. Who rides up on a white horse? PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers), of course. PBMs say that they will negotiate with drug companies and buy the drugs on behalf of the plan sponsors for much cheaper. Then they will ship the drugs purchased to the provider organizations. Thus, the plan sponsor only needs to pay providers to administer the drug, not that and some crazy markup on the drug itself. Ladies and gentlemen, white bagging has entered the building. White bagging is when the drug is not shipped directly to the patient à la brown bagging. It is when the drug is shipped to the provider. But wait … there's more to the story than a grand PBM gesture of goodwill. They see how much money the employers are used to paying providers for these drugs and realize that the PBM only needs to come in with a price that's less than that, at least at the beginning. So, over the years, weird stuff starts happening with rebates on the specialty drugs. Listen to the show with Scott Haas (EP365) for more on that. But bottom line, white bagging becomes not exactly a mecca of cost savings. PBMs are, as we all know, not known for their ability to moderate their profitability, after all. At this point in our story, let's just pause to say that provider organizations are very, very, very not happy with this whole white bagging intervention. Not only did a piece of the provider's specialty pharmacy cash cow get snatched by the PBMs, but there are also clinical issues with white bagging that we talk about on the show today. And some of these issues are not BS. Do not get me wrong. They are very real, and I do not want to minimize them. And so, provider organizations start to stand up their own hospital specialty pharmacies because then at least they can get some of the white bagging cha-ching. See what I mean? Plan sponsor, health plan mandates that the drug be filled in a pharmacy, hospital owns the pharmacy or part of the pharmacy … and now they have so-called clear bagging. Clear bagging is when one organization owns the pharmacy and the provider who will administer the drug. Clear bagging solves some of the clinical issues with white bagging, and the hospital also gets to take a cut. I'd be remiss not to mention here that some hospitals have worked very hard on their clear-bagging programs and definitely have tried to improve the quality of service here. You're going to have to listen to the show to hear about gold bagging and also the latest developments in this whole war employers and patients and taxpayers are fighting with PBMs and hospitals who are fighting with each other over who gets the money. Also, the continuing trend of brown bagging, especially as “in the patient's home” gets tagged on the end of lots of care delivery like “in bed” gets tagged on the end of lots of fortune cookies. Next week's show will dig into how exactly some providers are managing to get the up to 6x the cost of specialty pharmacy drugs when Medicare Part B at least says that they're only supposed to get ASP [average sales price] + 6% (ish). I just could not figure out how they were managing to get 6x just given that Medicare Part B rule, but yeah, they are—and we'll learn about that next week. You can learn more at continuumrx.com.

After that recent episode with Scott Haas (EP365), where we talked about the real deal with PBM contracting, I kicked into high gear trying to untangle this whole apocalyptic honky-tonk we call benefits for prescription drugs. Notice I did not say prescription drug benefits because that would imply that pharmaceuticals are only charged for under the umbrella of pharmacy benefits. Ha ha, that would be just too easy. No, some pharma drugs are charged as part of patients' medical benefits. An amazing primer for what that looks like in the real world follows. Just pointing out that any self-respecting healthcare market distortion deserves another, and if anything qualifies as a market distortion, it's buy and bill—what I talk about with Dr. Mitchell in this healthcare podcast. In the following weeks, we'll chat about how the market has responded to this buy and bill market distortion that we talk about in this episode. So, next week, we're gonna get into all the different kinds of bagging: the so-called brown bagging, the white bagging, the clear bagging … and what is this newfangled gold bagging? Spoiler alert there. Tune in next week. And here's another spoiler alert: While in this show today we chat about how provider organizations tend to make somewhere between 4.5% and 20% additional over drug costs, there was a recent study claiming that 4.5% to 20% is chump change. Some provider organizations are, in fact, making four times to six times the cost of the drug—a very expensive drug, mind you (lots of zeros here)—in profit. In the show in two weeks, I'm speaking with April Yongchu and Erik Davis from USI about exactly and specifically how provider organizations can manage to perform this “let's make hundreds of thousands of dollars today” magic trick. So, with that, here's your encore. In the April [2020] issue of Value-Based Cancer Care (that's a journal), there's an article talking about a keynote presentation and a study highlighting a big problem for patients with cancer: toxicity. It's a fact that some chemo agents are pretty toxic, but in this healthcare podcast I am talking about financial toxicity. The financial burden of cancer care has a seriously negative influence on patients' quality of life. This keynote speaker quoted in the Value-Based Cancer Care article implored his fellow oncologists: “Think twice before ordering costly interventions that may have little impact on the clinical course,” he said. This might be difficult for a number of reasons, and one of them is that oncology centers make money, a whole lot of money, sometimes the most money, from infusing cancer medications. It's this little payment paradigm called “buy and bill.” The cancer center buys the meds and then gets paid an additional fee to infuse the drug. This fee is a percentage of the drug cost. You've probably heard a lot lately about the skyrocketing costs of some of these cancer agents. Realize that if you're an oncology center, the higher the drug costs, the higher your revenue. Now consider the patient suffering under the weight of increased cost sharing and employers and taxpayers who are funding this strange payment model. In this healthcare podcast, I dig into this so-called “buy and bill” payment model with Aaron Mitchell, MD, MPH.

In INBW32, I talked about telehealth. In this episode, I'm talking about collaboration between healthcare stakeholders or the lack thereof. My grandfather suffered from heart failure. This was many years ago now. But when I say suffered, I mean it. As many of you know, when heart failure is uncontrolled, it is painful to go through or even watch a loved one go through. There was that one time when I accompanied my grandfather (and my grandma was there, too) on a trip to the emergency room, you know, because he was drowning in his own lung fluid and could barely breathe. And when we arrived, they were going to wheel him into one of the exam rooms. But my grandmother put her foot down. She did not want to go into that one exam room because the TV was broken in there. Yes, the two of them had been in the ER so many times that they were familiar with the pros and cons of the various exam rooms. The end of my grandfather's life was almost unbearable, and I can't even begin to estimate the hundreds of thousands of dollars racked up in ER visits and inpatient stays. He was in the ER once a month at a minimum, and he would come home disoriented and confused. Now, as everybody listening to this show knows, this anecdote is also a data point that is, dare I say, all too common. But to that end, let me just talk about heart failure data for a second. Patients with heart failure generate a third of Medicare spending and 40% of Medicare fee-for-service deaths. They are also responsible for 55% of Medicare readmissions. You'd think that if there were any chronic condition that we'd be looking to improve outcomes on, it'd be this one. So, everybody's on it, right? Oh, wait … heart failure readmissions have actually gone up in recent years. I just want to point out that in between ER visits and inpatient stays, my grandfather received effectively no education, no PCP or cardiology follow-ups, no community support. He did not get a case manager. He got no coaching. He got 25 pages of tiny, printed instructions just before the door hit him in the butt on his way out to the parking lot. Obvious point here, but to do any of this in-between stuff would have required collaboration between the hospital and others. And it was conspicuous in its absence. Look, this is sad and I'm not telling the story because I think it's unique. If I asked who else has a story like this one where a family member or a loved one got lost in the gaps between their care, I am suspecting that everyone would raise their hands—even those of you who have medical degrees. No matter how much any of us know or care or try to help, stories like my grandfather's are painfully and unequivocally common in this country today. OK, so how to improve care, especially for chronic care patients. At its core, and I am not telling anyone listening something that you probably have not already thought about at great length, but there are two important contributors to patient outcomes. Not the only contributors for absolutely sure, but here are two important ones: Nonfragmented patient journeys that adhere to evidence-based best-practice care. My grandfather and anyone with a chronic condition requires a patient journey that isn't a game of whack-a-mole. Carly Eckert, MD, says this so well in EP361. Steering patients to the best care setting, which is required to get the highest-value best-practice care and also reduce financial toxicity. Short but important sidebar: We know that financial toxicity is clinical toxicity. There was just a study that came out that said in 2030, a leading cause of death will be noncompliance to treatment due to patients abandoning care because it costs too much. Wayne Jenkins, MD, from Centivo (EP358) talks about other implications of financial toxicity for a half-hour. Also, there's another paper that, again, is just more on this point. At this juncture, it is not arguable. Financial toxicity is clinical toxicity. So, we need to get patients, people, customers to the next place that is the highest value for them. Doing either or both of these things—nonfragmenting the patient journey and making sure patients get to the next care setting—it requires collaboration. Let me quote Dr. Steve Klasko, who, until recently, was president and CEO over at Jefferson Health in Philly. He said—and this is an adaptation of an old Steve Jobs mantra—but Steve Klasko said that for hospitals, our old math was inpatient revenue, outpatient revenue, and in-person tuition and funding. The new math is going to be strategic partnerships around this healthcare at any address model. Right? But good collaborations don't just improve patient outcomes. Here's another benefit: They also make happier clinicians or employees. If every outside interaction is a friction point, where employees, clinicians, doctors, nurses are rubbed raw because every interaction becomes a battle, if that's the ecosystem that any given party has created for themselves, patients aren't happy and clinicians aren't happy. And since everything in healthcare spirals around that one relationship, the one between the patient and their clinicians, this could not be more vital. There's that famous Richard Branson quote, which I'll paraphrase: If you want to keep the customers happy, keep the employees happy. How anyone thinks that patients are going to get amazing care when those providing the care are miserable is just the very definition of magical thinking. All right … so, let's get into the hard thing about hard things: why with the lack of collaboration across the industry there are a lot of excuses for why parties cannot collaborate. For example, interoperability, HIPAA, legal, cyber, bureaucracy … Also, people are busy, COVID response, being overworked and burned out is a big deal. And I'm not saying that some of these are not valid, but the elephant in the room is this: In healthcare today, most (if not all) big organizations for sure and a lot of small ones have a business model that is built on revenue maximization. Look, when I'm referring to organizations as revenue maximizers, maybe I'm not talking specifically about specific departments and people working hard in those departments within any given organization. Organizations are not one-celled organisms, after all. But what I am saying is that, as a whole, healthcare organizations—the vast majority and certainly every so-called incumbent payer and health system—when you factor in the actions of the CFO, the actions of the billing department, the group that sets premiums, the one that sets prices, the group that incentivizes brokers, the group that sells to employers, the group that lobbies politicians, the group that writes the contract terms … if you factor in the whole organization, what you get is an organization who acts to maximize outcomes—financial outcomes, that is. As per my normal MO, I'm gonna say the quiet part out loud here. One big reason why parties do not collaborate is because they are thinking they are going to maximize their revenue by info blocking to prevent network leakage, or not sharing data with an employer because then the employer might steer the employee to an infusion center for their chemo, or drugs will get switched from the profitable one to the not profitable one. I just saw another article the other day, entitled “The Many Barriers to Payer-Provider Alignment on Value-based Care.” Two entities vital for a nonfragmented frictionless patient journey cannot figure out how to align incentives, share data, or even figure out what good looks like. Speaking industry-wide here, but if patient outcomes were the top of either the payer or the provider's organizational lists of priorities, I do not think that this would be the case decades later. Listen to the show with Kevin Schulman, MD (EP366); Scott Haas (EP365); or an upcoming one with Autumn Yongchu and Erik Davis coming out in a few weeks that just drives this point home. So, can you do well by doing good? Yes, you can. I have a degree from a business school, after all; but there is a line that gets crossed when maximizing revenue harms patients. And I'll tell you how you can tell if you're over the line. And again, I'm talking organizations here who have power and control in their local markets. I would say that a lack of collaboration is a symptom. If we all agree that collaboration is essential and some organization is not doing it, maybe it is a sign. It is an actionable bit of information that I hope, if relevant, gets contemplated. For example, back to my grandfather for a sec, it's pretty well known how to reduce heart failure revisits. There are more than a few care models that have definitely been shown to work. Here is one of them, and this was talked about in Dr. William Bestermann's Substacks. There was a nurse in the Carolinas—and I talked about this before—but there was a nurse in the Carolinas who decreased heart failure readmissions markedly by simply calling up heart failure patients and making sure they were doing OK and that they understood how to take care of themselves. She was caring, and she had relationships with these patients. That's all she did. So, hospital collaborates with a payer case manager or a CBO (community-based organization) or an MSO (management services organization), or maybe the hospital has pop health capabilities internally. I mean, we can manage to transplant important organs in this country, and most healthcare organizations cannot figure out how to work together well enough that a nurse calls up a bunch of patients? Is this some arcane or highly complex thing to do? No, it's not. But most are not doing anything even close to this because revenue maximization is the goal of one or more of the entities who would need to be a party to this, and everything else is just an excuse. If anyone is thinking interoperability right now, I've heard Don Lee say on The #HCBiz Show! often enough that there's lots of evidence at this point that interoperability has been solved from a technical standpoint. It's been solved for years. The problem is a business case problem. No one wants to be interoperable because … revenue maximization All right … aspirationally here, despite all of this, great collaborations happen every single day—collaborations that are bright spots and that definitely improve patient outcomes and reduce financial burdens short-term and long-term. Let me give you some examples: what 32BJ is doing in New York City (upcoming episode with Cora Opsahl talking about the cool things that they are doing with Mount Sinai); CINs (clinically integrated networks), like Lisa Trumble, who talks about SoNE HEALTH in EP349. There are MSOs that work with ACOs (accountable care organizations) and others. Listen to Shawn Rhodes (EP354); also what Nicole Bradberry and Kelly Conroy are doing in Florida (EP324). In an upcoming episode, Dave Chase from Health Rosetta: He's got one great story after another about how employers these days are teaming up with provider organizations, pharmacies, and their communities to put a serious dent in costs while raising patient outcomes and satisfaction. Doug Hetherington's episode (EP367) talks about direct contracting with hospitals. Katy Talento (EP350) talks about this also. Steve Schutzer, MD, talks about collaborating with other local orthopedic surgeons to stand up a now nationally recognized center of excellence in Connecticut (EP294). We also have some pharma companies who are developing some pretty great disease-centric resources for providers. Some pharma companies and some internal teams at those companies can actually be fair and good community players. Mike Levitt and the work that he has done on the Accountable Care Learning Collaborative, which is headed up by Dr. Eric Weaver, who has been on the show (EP277); or I'm sure after this show airs, I'm gonna hear about more. Please send them my way. Now, look … let's get real here. These collaborations may have been initiated with, let's just say, other beneficial side effects; but they all improve care and reduce costs. If I were gonna list some common and appealing side effects that could motivate some prospective collaborators to come to the table, some of the usual suspects are proposing that the collaboration will, for example, improve HCAHPS scores, quality metrics, star ratings; improve predictable spend; reduce shock claims; avenge your common competitor and steal their market share; gang up against a payer or some consolidated health system; improve OR utilization; or improve efficiency in some way. What I would say, though, is that if leveling up patient care happens and costs do not rise as a result, that's the shared priority I'd focus on. If someone gets some beneficial side action, this is kind of the definition of doing well by doing good. All right, so let's talk about the different kinds of collaboration just briefly. I'm gonna say that there's three kinds of collaboration: Collaboration along the patient journey by multiple parties who are all along the patient journey Collaboration by parties who can help inform the patient journey, but they're not necessarily on the patient journey themselves Collaboration by parties who can help navigate the patient journey I am mentioning these three because there's often sort of this insinuation that collaborators should have equal stature in the care journey or have similar roles, that if you're not actually on the clinical journey, then you don't have any responsibility or accountability for the clinical journey and, therefore, are not a worthy collaborator. That is limiting if you are trying to figure out who you might be able to collaborate with to help you. The patient journey is not like a movie showing all the minutes a patient spends in clinic, and then all the gaps in between visits are edited out. Care can be improved at the population level, at the community level. Care can be improved at the disease or the condition level when clinicians get needed insights or information or tools. I mean, frankly, to my mind, it shouldn't be considered a plus when a pharma company or a payer actually does something in the service of improving patient outcomes. It should almost be a requirement that they do. I don't mean by delivering care in any way. And for the record, most prior auth programs are the opposite of collaborative. Payers can collaborate by supplying data, as just one example. Heck, external collaborations are great, but we also could think about collaborating internally, like invite the CFO or maybe the gang rewarding brokers with sales competitions. I don't know. I'd consider ethically dubious: Invite them to come to some meeting where oncology patients are choosing to die rather than bankrupt their families. Communication is the first step to collaboration, after all. That's a place to start. Or life science types: They can supply knowledge and expertise about specific diseases or conditions with the purpose of improving patient outcomes. Informing the patient journey could be a collaboration with some of these amazing patient efficacy organizations or CBOs that are out in the community. Now, I think one barrier to collaboration that we all need to get over is the whole, I call it, stakeholder prejudice thing. Here's what Colton Ortolf wrote on Twitter the other day. He tweeted, “Hospitals are the Lance Armstrong of healthcare. Pissed [off] at all the [crappy] things they do economically, but also grateful for all the lives they save.” If we're gonna eliminate everybody in healthcare who has revenue maximization as their organizational goal, as aforementioned, there is going to be basically no one left standing. As Ge Bai, PhD, CPA, said in EP356, there's no angels and no demons in healthcare. Everybody is both. If we're talking about stakeholder prejudice, though, I would be remiss not to single out Pharma. When I mentioned them a sec ago, I bet some of your eyebrows went up. Here's my take on it. Consider Pharma's potential role in leveling up disease-/condition-specific outcomes. I mean, there are thousands, millions probably, of diseases and conditions and health problems out there that any given doctor or clinician has to be familiar with. Pharma has huge infrastructures and physicians and smart people who focused on, like, six of them. They know more about those six than anybody else. We pay a ton also for their drugs. It's my view that people along the patient journey should ask for what they want and need relative to the expertise that Pharma possesses. It should be about helping those providing care on the patient journey to level up the standard of care. Frankly, I'd expect collaboration from some of these entities. Ask for it on your own terms, and if all you get back is a sales pitch, you deserve better than that. Find somebody higher up on the food chain to talk to. And also, outcomes-based contracts … yeah, we need to figure out how to operationalize them so that really good drugs that actually produce outcomes like overall survival get paid for and those that do not do not. Point of note must be said: Colluding and conflict of interest is not cost neutral. If someone is getting things bought for them and then thinking, falsely, that it does not impact prescribing, that is not collaboration. Any of these revenue-maximizing hookups are not included in my definition of collaboration. So, in sum, ultimately, what we're talking about here is our legacy. As David Muhlestein, PhD, JD, talks about really well in EP364, we got to ask ourselves, What do we want to leave behind to our children and our grandchildren? Some of this is generational change, for sure. But seriously, talking about today, I mean, who wants to sign their family member up for what my grandfather went through? Right now, across the country, there are heart failure patients going through exactly what he did; and there are other patients with care journeys so dysfunctional that lives are shattered. Chronic care patients, oncology patients … and this isn't going to change unless we contemplate, first of all, what we can do today—right now. Even little things can matter a lot, but then also to really consider what we want healthcare to look like in 20 or 25 years and then start working back from that vision and collaborating today so that, slowly and surely, we reach a place with better care that is not financially toxic.

People are averse to change. It's a thing. It's a thing that affects even those of us who consider ourselves highly educated and/or very smart. Nobody likes disruption or, even worse, the prospect of disruption and the uncertainty that goes along with that. Nobody likes to feel like the rug just got pulled out from under them or that they've lost control of something, especially something important like their health benefits or how they care for patients. Changes to health insurance and healthcare, from any angle, are fraught with stress. A big reason for this is because health and healthcare are filled with so-called “one-way-door” types of decisions and decision points. If I cannot get the care I need today, or if the care I want to provide today to a patient does not go as desired, I feel like the door is one-way: Once I make a decision, I cannot go back. I can't click “undo” on that and go back through the door and arrive at yesterday. Health decisions, therefore, have a very “you got one shot at this” kind of feel. And it's that, right there, that just upped the ante considerably in the stress department for employees and then also for any clinician who is working with patients. It's life or death, and this is why making changes either to the insurance side or the care side of the equation feels like they will be so disruptive. It's a big reason why some self-insured employers or even fully insured employers won't mess with the status quo benefit designs or switch up their EBC (employee benefit consultant) or their ASO/TPA (Administrative Services Only/Third-Party Administrator), even if everybody in the entire company is currently complaining about the price and complexity of said status quo (it's kind of like the devil that you know) and even if it's possible to offer employees overall better-quality care at lower prices, meaning that everybody in the company could get a raise funded by the sometimes massive savings that could be had. I just heard a union leader the other day, and she said that every worker would have an extra $5000 in their pocket if their healthcare costs were what they should be. So, for many employers, the prospect of disruption is just too much. It's not in the CHRO's (chief human resources officer's) job description to open that Pandora's box. Nobody gets fired for doing what they did last year—I guess, until they do (one straw or another is gonna break the camel's back, after all). But in the meantime, we have this fear-induced festering inertia. Let me just point out one thing: Implicit in everything that I just said is the notion that one day everyone will have their familiar insurance card snugly tucked in their wallet, and then the next day, it will be ripped from their bloody fingers in a violent and unexpected fashion. Or, let's talk about provider organizations now. Say one's trying to move from the world of fee for service to the world of value-based payment structures with downstream risk, or direct contracts with employers. To do this well, let's chat about one aspect of this that health systems seem to struggle with that's been a topic of some conversation lately. There's an article cautioning that “practicing at the top of one's license” and its attendant need for team-based care is a giant fail and/or a money grab, or it could be. And it could be both of these things, don't get me wrong. Team-based care isn't a homogeneous construct. It would be like saying that all movies are bad because Super Baby Geniuses 2 was such a dog. I mean, team-based care—pretty much like team-based anything—if it's not implemented well, nobody on the team knows what they're supposed to be doing and nobody is accountable. There's no infrastructure supporting it. There was no testing or iteration or discussion about the intent. No one actually on the proposed teams was even consulted about the whole idea. And so, everyone starts to suspect, maybe rightfully or maybe not, that it's all financially driven and a cost-cutting exercise. On the show today, my guest, Ashleigh Gunter, warns about all of these exact things. You switch something up without going through the proper steps and stages, everybody gets very suspicious. And, nothing for nothing, their suspicion could be the least of the leader's problems. The initiative's ensuing failure maybe should be their biggest concern. Which is a shame if something was done in the spirit of better patient care, for example, because there's tons of research on the immense power of well-functioning teams as just continuing this one example. And there's just as much research and well-proven case studies showing that innovative benefit designs can be a 365-degree win when they cut out wasteful spending and navigate employees and plan members to high-value care. For all of these reasons and more, I wanted to get Ashleigh Gunter, who is an expert in change management, on the show to talk about how to succeed when you want to change something as touchy as healthcare and health insurance. This all really goes back to the show with Matt Anderson, MD, MBA (EP266) and what Robert Pearl, MD, writes about all the time. It's a skill we all need to learn to lead change. Many of us had to learn this the hard way because we see our vision so clearly and we want to make it a reality as fast as possible, but the result of our enthusiasm might be that we skip implementation steps that are really not optional. As Thomas Edison said (and I love this), “Having a vision for what you want is not enough. Vision without execution is hallucination.” So, to transform anything effectively, we have to put as much effort into the implementation as we do into the strategy. If we don't do that, then sadly, despite all of the best intentions, whatever we're trying to do is not gonna work and it might be labeled disruptive. So, I couldn't be more pleased to have learned a thing or two from Ashleigh Gunter about change management that avoids this disruption label.
