As we talk about the current zeitgeist moving us towards value and equity, we also have to think about how polarized our country is politically. Democrats and Republicans live in separate worlds, or “echo chambers,” with each side prone to bias or “motivated reasoning.” This has created an existential threat of tribalism where partisanship has turned Americans against one another.  The term that best describes our strife is “political sectarianism,” or the tendency of political groups to align on the basis of moralized identities rather than shared ideas or policy preferences.  However, the promise of value-based care is something that we should all agree on in a bipartisan way.  The Race to Value is both an economic and a moral imperative, and it can be actualized through relationship-based care, collaborative health models, and the power of advanced analytics. In this week's episode, we interview Michael L. Millenson, an internationally recognized expert on making American health care better, safer and more patient-centered. As a leading expert on health policy, quality improvement, and patient-centered care, he provides a deeply informed and unfiltered perspective on how to defeat political sectarianism to achieve analytics-based value innovation.  This intellectual conversation leaves nothing unsaid and will provide you with an enhanced understanding of the political challenges of value transformation and how analytics will drive collaborative health in the Information Age.

Today on Bagels and Blessings you will hear the testimony of Jeff Millenson.   He's been involved in Messianic music and ministry for many years.   It was pure joy speaking with him recently.  You will enjoy great music, including some tunes written by Jeff and performed by Liberated Wailing Wall.  It's always fun talking to someone who has been in the movement for a long time.   We chatted a bit about how Messianic tunes have changed over the years.  You'll love it!  Thanks so much for listening! 

Michael Millenson is a health policy strategist, consultant, legacy agitator of the status quo, and President at Health Quality Advisors. I was happy to sit back and play armchair expert as we attempted to deconstruct and "schoolhouse rock" what exactly "Healthcare Reform" actually means. With a new administration and perhaps a more cockeyed pessimist view on advancing the ball, could there be even the slightest chance that health care could suck less sooner than later? Well, that's what we're here to find out. Enjoy the show.

Author and journalist Michael Millenson is one of the original agitators of the status quo of healthcare. He is a friend, mentor, and someone I have consistently referred to as the “older, angrier, and more sagacious version of me.” His activism over the past 20+ years has paved the way for scores od patient advocates like me to grow our experiences into formidable and influential bully pulpits. And his book, Demanding Medical Excellence” is a template for what SHOULD be happening with our healthcare system but is regrettably not. He is particularly incendiary against hospital systems that place profit over purpose and who often have to be incentivized to do the right thing for their patients. You’re going to love this conversation.

The 'etiology' of this chat spawned froma twitter exchange regarding ACOs and whether they'll impact the care for seniors in any meaningful way. While a thread developed in response to the question, this chat will dig deeper and illuminate the current state of grandma's care and how high a bar the ACO need lift to in order to add value to grandma's experience of care - one pillar of the triple aim.
