Dr. Ali Khan has spent his career at the intersection of medicine, public policy, and value-based care. He's also been at the forefront of some of the country's most innovative care delivery models—from Iora Health and CareMore to Oak Street Health and now Aetna, where he serves as Chief Medical Officer of Medicare at Aetna, a CVS Health company. In this episode, Keith Figlioli sits down with Dr. Khan for a conversation about Medicare's future—and what it will take to make the promise of better, more affordable healthcare a reality. A general internist by training, Dr. Khan's path into healthcare began with a deep curiosity about the broader systems shaping people's health. That curiosity took him from Harvard Kennedy School to the exam room to health plans and startups focused on reimagining the primary care experience for complex, underserved populations. Throughout his career, he's gravitated toward organizations trying to solve public-sector problems with private-sector solutions—building care models that prioritize trust, access, and long-term outcomes. Now at the helm of a Medicare Advantage program serving 4.2 million members, Dr. Khan brings a unique vantage point. In this conversation, he shares hard-earned lessons on care model design, what payers and providers need from each other, and why Medicare is at an inflection point. He makes a compelling case for a renewed focus on the fundamentals—not just risk adjustment or benefit design, but operational follow-through, last-mile care coordination, and culturally grounded team-based models that scale. Dr. Khan and Keith discuss: Building care models that hold up under pressure. From Iora to Oak Street, Dr. Khan has seen firsthand that delivering better outcomes at scale requires more than mission—it takes structural rigor. He unpacks four key dimensions—cultural, clinical, operational, and technological—and explains why lasting impact depends on aligning all of them. Whether it's equipping care teams to deliver in complex communities or building systems that can flex and scale, success hinges on getting the foundation right. Why affordability isn't enough—and where Medicare Advantage must go next. With over half of Medicare beneficiaries now enrolled in MA plans, Dr. Khan argues it's time to move beyond the value prop of supplemental benefits and zero-dollar premiums. The next chapter is about proving clinical excellence at scale. That means prioritizing follow-through over features—removing last-mile barriers, improving care coordination, and designing experiences people actually trust.  From transactional to transformative: the evolving role of health plans. Plans have long relied on contractual structures to drive change, but Dr. Khan believes that era is fading. To deliver on the promise of value-based care, plans must shift from passive administrators to proactive partners—investing in infrastructure, surfacing actionable insights, and enabling providers to succeed across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial populations alike. Where AI meets care delivery. Dr. Khan reflects on the potential of AI to reduce clinical variation, improve medication management, and drive better follow-up for patients—especially those with chronic conditions. But he cautions that technology alone won't move the needle. To truly unlock AI's value in Medicare, plans and providers must embed it within human-centered systems, coordinate care in real time, and ensure new tools support—not replace—the relationships that matter most. As Dr. Khan notes, we're entering a “put up or shut up” era for Medicare Advantage, where scrutiny is high and proof points matter. Yet within that pressure lies opportunity—particularly for those willing to do the unglamorous work of identifying barriers, building connective tissue, and supporting clinical teams in the trenches.

LaSemana Nacional de los Ingenieros se celebra del 16 al 22 de febrero de 2025. Por octavo año consecutivo, Intel y Portland Metro STEM Partnership se han asociado con el Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro para llevar experiencias prácticas de diseño en ingeniería a los salones de clases de 4.º grado en todo el distrito.Los días 19, 20 y 21 de febrero, voluntarios de Intel y otros socios de compañías de TECNOLOGÍAS DE MANUFACTURA AVANZADA visitarán los salones de clases para apoyar a los estudiantes mientras participan en un emocionante desafío de diseño de ingeniería alineado con los estándares de ciencias para su nivel de grado. Las visitas incluirán tiempo de práctica de diseño, conversaciones con voluntarios y oportunidades para que compartan su entusiasmo por la ingeniería.El cuarto grado es un momento crucial para el aprendizaje de ciencias, tecnología, ingeniería, artes y matemáticas (STEAM, por sus siglas en inglés) porque las investigaciones muestran que un tercio de los estudiantes pierden el interés en las ciencias durante el cuarto grado, y que el interés de un estudiante en STEAM ya se encuentra establecido en gran medida cuando llegan a los grados superiores de escuela primaria y escuela secundaria. La misma investigación también muestra que la exposición temprana a STEAM, especialmente para las niñas, hace que los estudiantes tengan más probabilidades de tener éxito en ciencias y continuar en las áreas de STEAM en la universidad.Con este propósito, hay un día específico dedicado a las niñas durante la Semana de la Ingeniería: ¡El jueves, 20 de febrero es el Día de Introducción a la Ingeniería para Niñas! Obtenga más información y acceda a los recursos mediante nuestro sitio web.¡Puede ver las fotos de este evento tan popular y dinámico en el próximo boletín de Noticias de la Semana! Nuestros eventos destacados tuvieron lugar en el Plantel de Oak Street y en el programa de escuelas preparatorias de la Escuela en Línea de Hillsboro. El Plantel de Oak Street atiende a estudiantes de HSD hasta los 21 años, con el objetivo de apoyarlos en su camino para completar y recibir un diploma de escuela preparatoria. Dieciséis estudiantes de OSC exhibieron sus obras de arte en la Galería del Centro Cívico de Hillsboro del 7 de enero al 14 de febrero de 2025. Mostrando  creatividad emergente y perspectivas únicas, la amplia variedad de estilos, medios e imágenes presentan obras con temas tan variados como autorretratos, paisajes urbanos, flora y fauna, y paisajes naturales. Cada obra de arte representa un paso hacia la autocomprensión y la autoexpresión.Mientras tanto, sus compañeros del programa 9.o a 12.o grado de la Academia en Línea de Hillsboro organizaron un evento de caminos profesionales sobre Justicia Penal y Servicio Público el miércoles, 29 de enero. Este evento especial fue organizado por la maestra de CCP de Estudios Sociales y Criminología, Dee Moore, y contó con un panel de diálogo con especialistas de diversos campos profesionales que compartieron sus ideas y experiencias con los estudiantes.

CVS Health unveiled its earnings report during an investor call where CEO Karen Lynch outlined the company's plans for refining its business strategy. Lynch relayed to investors, "We are committed to improving margin in Medicare Advantage, and we will do so by pricing for the expected trends. We will do so by adjusting benefits and exiting service counties. We are committed to doing that." Her statement suggests CVS's resolve to make strategic adjustments and enhance operational efficiency and profitability in key areas, in response to current market dynamics.On the call, CVS Health acknowledged that its financial performance in the first quarter of 2024 fell short of anticipated benchmarks. Nevertheless, the company reported a focused approach on fostering growth and improving its healthcare offerings, specifically an increased investment in healthcare delivery assets like Signify and Oak Street.Highlighted on the earnings call were CVS's business strategies, including CVS CostVantage and TrueCost, aimed at promoting transparent business practices. According to CVS, the activation of these pharmacy models results in improved pharmacy retention, accelerated growth, and better cost efficiency for consumers.The company stated that recent shifts in consumer behavior have led to a decrease in front-store activity, affecting the pharmacy and consumer wellness sectors. This presented challenges but also gave rise to demand growth in the mental health and medical pharmacy domains along with supplementary benefits. According to CVS, increased enrollment figures reflect strong customer interest in the company's diverse solutions.CVS also pointed out the challenges affiliated with the Medicare Advantage business. In response, the company mentioned strategies such as analysis of past claims data, optimization of pharmacy benefits spending, and enhanced productivity initiatives, all aimed at mitigating these challenges while also boosting plan-level benefits and operational efficiency.Despite the difficulties linked to the Medicare Advantage business that shaped CVS Health's financial performance for Q1 2024, the company reported commitment to its growth plans. Acknowledging potential decreases in front-store activity, the company expressed continued dedication to innovation, with an emphasis on mental health and other supplementary benefits. CVS stated that its upcoming strategy seems poised to capitalize on the rising consumer demand in these sectors. Furthermore, their focus on healthcare delivery systems underscores their efforts to strengthen integrated healthcare solutions.While CVS Health ended Q1 2024 on a note of optimism, navigating the challenges posed by shifts in consumer behaviour and issues with the Medicare Advantage business will be crucial for the company moving ahead. The strategies CVS outlined on the call demonstrate the company's proactive stance in light of these challenges. However, their efficacy and impact on CVS's future performance will become more apparent in upcoming quarters. Execution of these strategies, sustaining its innovative spirit, and the company's ability to adapt to the evolving market dynamics will be key considerations for CVS Health in the foreseeable future.

Nuestro evento destacado es la remodelación del mapa de Estados Unidos en el patio de juego de la Escuela Primaria Butternut Creek. El mapa vuelve a verse de manera clara y vibrantemente colorido, gracias a una generosa donación de pintura de Ace Hardware y al tiempo de servicio del Comité de Padres y Maestros de Butternut Creek.  El mapa original se había desvanecido significativamente con el paso del tiempo, lo que dificultaba que los estudiantes exploraran y aprendieran. Entonces, el comité contactó a Ace Hardware y consiguió con éxito los materiales necesarios para restaurarlo a su antiguo esplendor. Los estudiantes y los miembros del personal están encantados con los resultados. ¡Muchas gracias a Ace Hardware y al Comité de Padres y Maestros de Butternut Creek! No habrá clases para todos los estudiantes el lunes, 15 de enero en conmemoración del Día de Martin Luther King, Jr. Las clases se reanudan para todos los estudiantes el martes, 16 de enero.

The future of care is not confined by walls; it thrives in the heart of homes, where compassion meets innovation, and healing becomes a daily experience. Home-based primary care with full-risk Medicare Advantage is a transformative model that not only brings health care to the doorstep of our seniors but also places the responsibility for their well-being squarely in the hands of dedicated providers, creating a proactive and patient-centered approach to aging with dignity and comprehensive care. By making primary care easier to access for our nation's seniors, we can deliver personalized care that meets their needs; help them stay healthy and feel better; and live well with existing conditions so they can prepare for what's ahead. This week we are joined by two executive leaders from WellBe Senior Medical -- the largest and fastest growing independent home-based medical group in the country. WellBe is a global risk medical group that provides longitudinal geriatric care to underserved, frail, complex, and homebound Medicare Advantage beneficiaries. In this episode, we feature Dr. Jeffrey Kang, Chief Executive Officer and Mike Stuart, Chief Growth Officer from WellBe Senior Medical. Dr. Kang is a geriatrician with extensive experience in global risk and primary care for frail, elderly, and disabled populations.  Mike Stuart has extensive experience in fostering partnerships with health plans, health systems, and provider groups and leads commercial strategy and partnership development for WellBe Senior Medical.  In this interview you will learn about the home-based care continuum, primary care innovation, mission-driven leadership, Medicare Advantage risk, and the future of value-based primary care. Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 An overview of WellBe Senior Medical – a global risk primary care group providing longitudinal geriatric care in the home. 02:30 Introduction to Dr. Jeffrey Kang, WellBe CEO (formerly served as ChenMed President, Walgreens SVP, Cigna CMO, and CMS CMO). 03:00 Introduction to Mike Stuart, WellBe Chief Growth Officer (formerly served in executive leadership roles at Somatus and Evolent). 05:00 An overview of the home care continuum (e.g. acute, post-acute, custodial, longitudinal primary care, DME, home infusion). 08:00 How WellBe is helping patients navigate and coordinate the fragmentation of home care point solutions. 10:30 A mission to help senior patients “lead healthier meaningful lives by delivering the most complete care”. 11:30 Opportunities to make care in the home more multidisciplinary, personalized, and SDOH-responsive. 12:00 Proactive vs. Reactive Care (leveraging analytics and unique provider skillsets for population health). 13:30 The clinical persona of the “frail elderly” and why WellBe focuses on this target population. 14:30 “Everything done in a primary care office can actually be done at home.” 15:30 “Home-based primary care is the best thing to do. You get better outcomes and better patient satisfaction.” 15:45 Is it possible to deliver high quality primary care (like ChenMed or Oak Street) in the home setting? 16:30 Referencing Marcus Welby, M.D. as an example of an empathetic approach to delivering care in the home (see Season 1 Trailer) 17:00 Care Fragmentation Challenges - NEJM found that the average Medicare patient sees a median of two PCPs and five specialist physicians per year. 18:00 “Quality of Life” is more important than “Quantity of Life” (why empathy and compassion matter most in caring for frail seniors). 19:30 Patients define a good doctor by bedside manner and respect given. 20:30 How the economics of full global risk enable complete care models for seniors. 20:30 Scalable home-based primary care is a new approach in value-based care. 23:00 WellBe's results (e.g. >50% neighborhood engagement, patient satisfaction is at 95%, and MLR improvement >40% in 3yrs). 23:30 The importance of reaching a 4 Star Rating in a Medicare Advantage plan.

Japan may once have seemed like a world away, but the most delicious elements of Japanese food and drink culture have become increasingly embedded in our American psyche. On this week's show, we celebrate the complexity and craftsmanship of Japanese drinking culture. We begin with Christopher Pellegrini, longtime homebrewer, Honkaku Spirits founder, and author of The Shochu Handbook. Originally from Vermont, Christopher now lives in Tokyo, where he has become a Japanese spirit evangelist. He introduces us to shochu, one of Japan's most popular distilled spirits, and one of the best-kept secrets everywhere else. Next, we hear Stephen Lyman, author of the James Beard-nominated book, The Complete Guide to Japanese Drinks. Stephen recounts the intriguing history of Takamine koji whisky, and the remarkable 19th-century Japanese chemist whose work inspired it. Finally, in Japan, drinks are always accompanied by snacks, often in a bar and eatery called an izakaya. Restaurateur Jackie Blanchard drops by to explain how a Cajun girl raised on Bayou Lafourche ended up crossing the world to open Sukeban, an authentic izakaya, right here on Oak Street the Crescent City.

Tony Sunseri Wholesale Distributors has been in business for 81 years, meeting challenges brought by World War II, Johnstown's devastating 1977 flood, the COVID-19 pandemic and many others. Tony Battaglia's grandfather on his mother's side of the family, Tony Sunseri, started the business on Railroad Street in downtown Johnstown. Over time, big chain stores edged out the mom-and-pops that formed Sunseri's customer base, and the Johnstown flood of 1977 destroyed businesses including many on Railroad Street where Sunseri Wholesale was originally located – a fire just a few years before the flood led to the Sunseri company's relocation to Oak Street. Anchored by a belief in treating customers right, generation after generation of the Sunseri family adapted to sustain the business through the decades.

Let's talk about financing and retirement assets! Do you have retirement assets? Are you really planning well for the future or are your eggs in one basket?Oftentimes, we find that business owners see their business as their sole asset (retirement plan), they may lack other retirement assets (such as a sizable 401K), and lack a succession plan – which could prove detrimental and end up costing them everything.Alicia Chandler, president of Indianapolis-based Oak Street Funding®, a First Financial Bank® company, is our guest expert.

Hey, thanks so much to kwebs14 for your super nice review on iTunes the other day. Kwebs wrote: [I have] learned so much, shared so many episodes with colleagues, clients … and gained so much value from regularly listening to [Relentless Health Value]. … Thank you … for providing the platform for so many that believe that we can consistently do better in healthcare. Thanks much for writing this. I think our Relentless Tribe is a unique group, and every day of every week I admire your willingness to hear some things that might be pretty hard to hear because they may hit pretty close to home. Dr. Benjamin Schwartz was talking about the podcast on LinkedIn the other day, and he said he doesn't always agree with guests or the discussion but he always learns something and each episode stimulates and challenges his thoughts and opinions. Yes … to all of this. This is our goal in a nutshell: to help those who want to do better in healthcare to have the insight, the information, the other side of the story, the differing opinion, whatever you need to conceive of the action that you want to take. So, thank you so much to everybody who listens. You are the ones who are going to make a difference, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do every day for patients and communities. Alright, so in this healthcare podcast, we are going to answer an FAQ—a listener question I have gotten a lot lately in various forms. Let me common denominator the inquiry: What does it mean to be clinically integrated, and how does a provider organization/practice/CIN (clinically integrated network) know if they are actually clinically integrated or not? Also, the corollary to this question, which is how do CINs—or anybody, really—know if they are clinically integrated enough to start thinking about taking on downside risk? I asked David Muhlestein this question, and then we talk about his answer for 25 minutes. So, like most things in healthcare, it is filled with nuance; but if I was going to oversimplify his answer in one sentence, it's this: Did the practice change how they are practicing medicine in order to drive predetermined outcomes? This is the litmus test for whether care is integrated. Did practice patterns change within participating entities from whatever they were before to a new way of working? Did the team(s) reorient with a goal to attain some documented patient outcomes, be those outcomes patient satisfaction and/or clinical endpoints and/or functional endpoints? If no sort of fundamental change happened, probably it's a no on the clinical integration question. Another litmus test question I've also heard is this: Is the practice looking to get paid more for successes they've already had in upside risk arrangements with kind of little or no desire to transform the practice into a new practice model? If yes, then again, it's gonna be a no on the clinical integration question. The thing is with all of this … well, let me quote Dr. John Lee, who said this pretty succinctly on LinkedIn recently. He said, “Downside risk fundamentally changes how you have to think as a physician and how you manage your patient cohort. You start thinking about team-based care and using analytics.” Yes … interesting. The point Dr. Lee is making — which is kind of inferred, actually, in the listener questions, so let me just state the obvious, which is so obvious it could easily be overlooked — if you are able to take on downside risk and succeed, you're probably clinically integrated. If you're not, you probably aren't. Said another way (this might get a little chicken and egg-y), do you clinically integrate so that you can get the kind of risk-based contracts that enabled Iora, for example, to represent 5% of One Medical's patient base and 50% of its revenue? I have heard similar profitability stories about ChenMed and Oak Street. They all have capitated downside risk accountable care contracts. And have you seen what some of their leadership teams are minting? Obviously, the capitated downside risk when you're integrated gig can be highly profitable. But ... seems like also the community and outcomes are kind of great. Are they doing well by doing good? I'll grant you I might be convinced based on what I've seen. Galileo is another one. Cityblock. But the fundamental question is, do you integrate first and then go after the contracts? Or is it best to wait until there's a decent accountable opportunity on offer and then, sufficiently incented, change the practice? I do not know. I do know, however, what Scott Conard, MD, said in episode 391. I will poorly paraphrase. He said that if better patient outcomes are desired, there must be clinical integration and practice pattern changes. He said his practice went ahead and instituted these changes to improve patient care and did so within a pretty full-on FFS (fee-for-service) environment. My conclusion with all of this? It takes strong leadership with team-building skills and a strong family/community-centric mission to pull off a successful foray into accountable care with downside risk. These same talented and mission-driven leaders probably could manage to improve patient care and lower costs in an FFS environment as well. The converse of this is also likely true: Weak and ineffectual leaders can make a quadruple nothing burger mess in even the best VBC (value-based care) model. Yes … lots to unpack there. I am interested in your thoughts. In this episode, as mentioned, I am speaking with David Muhlestein, who is the chief research and innovation officer with Health Management Associates, or HMA. He has spent the past decade-plus studying ACOs (accountable care organizations) and value-based care, trying to understand what works, what doesn't, and how you change the business models to be successful under these new models of payment. Here is a short version of David's advice to clinically integrate and be ready for downside risk: ·       Step 1: Understand where you are—this includes doing a very clear-eyed self-assessment. ·       Step 2: Assess the needs of your patient population and focus on things where your capacity meets the needs of the population that you serve in the most impactful way. ·       Step 3: Take the outcome of step 2—which is basically whatcha gonna do to fix the most consequential problems that your patients have—and identify the processes by which you will do this. ·       Step 4: Do not boil the ocean. Start with a subset of patients and figure out the exact plan to do better to manage that population—easier said than done, of course. (Betsy Seals, by the way said something along these exact same lines in the shows giving advice to Medicare Advantage plans. And Karen Root [EP381] also alludes to something similar as she talks about how to socialize innovation. So clearly, this advice can be universalized.)
