The speakers discuss the challenges of finding associates, the impact of corporate consolidation, financial realities, and the burden of student debt. They also delve into the appeal of corporate contracts, work-life balance, and the importance of patient relationships in the context of personalized care versus corporate efficiency.   takeaways Corporate dentistry is on the rise, affecting private practices. Finding associates for private practices is increasingly challenging. Student debt is a significant burden for new dentists. Corporate contracts often offer higher starting salaries but come with hidden costs. Work-life balance varies significantly between corporate and private practices. The consolidation of dental practices is driven by financial backing from private equity. Patient relationships are crucial for personalized care in dentistry. The financial realities of running a dental practice have changed post-COVID. Dentists need to be aware of the terms in their contracts with corporate entities. The future of dentistry may lean more towards corporate models, impacting patient care.   titles Navigating the Dental Landscape: Corporate vs. Private The Challenges of Finding Dental Associates   Sound Bites "There's always a need for it."

Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Greg Lehman's Approach 03:06 Understanding Tendinopathy and Its Implications 05:59 The Role of Tendon Stiffness in Rehabilitation 09:06 The Complexity of Tendon Rehabilitation 12:01 The Importance of Individualized Treatment Plans 15:03 Exploring the Connection Between Metabolic Health and Tendon Pain 17:59 The Debate on Stretching and Tendon Health 21:04 Compression and Its Effects on Tendons 24:06 Managing Activity Levels During Rehabilitation 26:54 Evaluating Loading Protocols for Tendon Recovery 30:08 Muscle-Tendon Imbalance and Injury Risk 33:10 Research Insights on Tendon Adaptation 36:34 Understanding Tendon Strain Dynamics 39:04 Exploring Tendon Rehabilitation Protocols 42:54 The Role of Muscle in Tendon Health 46:24 Isometrics and Their Evolving Role in Rehab 56:36 Patient-Centered Care in Tendon Rehabilitation   Takeaways The diagnosis often does not dictate treatment in rehab. Tendon stiffness is a key factor in rehabilitation. Individualized treatment plans are crucial for effective rehab. Metabolic health can significantly impact tendon pain. Stretching may still have a role in tendon health. Compression effects on tendons are complex and not fully understood. Maintaining activity levels can be beneficial during rehab. Loading protocols should be tailored to the individual. Muscle-tendon imbalances can increase injury risk. Research continues to evolve our understanding of tendon adaptation. Tendon strain is influenced by joint angle and muscle contraction. Isometric holds may not be the only effective method for tendon rehabilitation. Patient-centered care is crucial in designing rehabilitation programs. Performance goals should be integrated into rehabilitation strategies. Muscle strength plays a significant role in tendon health and recovery. The body can adapt to protect injured areas, complicating rehabilitation. Isometrics can provide analgesic effects, but results vary among individuals. Conscious isolation of muscle groups may be necessary for effective rehab. Tendons respond to load, regardless of the type of contraction used. Understanding individual patient goals is essential for effective treatment.   Greg's Website: https://www.greglehman.ca Greg's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greglehman?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY1JK0-KyV8C2O6j4k0Nv2xCnekXbXyAyevDP_vAwhwrFPt-vdPlgeJV6U_aem_5GCz-V50wzOwW-ZtfDIKzw Greg's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greglehman/ Greg's Twitter: https://x.com/GregLehman?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Notes here: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-125-tendons-with-greg-lehman/

While most assume leaving traditional practice means seeing fewer patients and making less money, Dr. Lenzkes revealed he was able to pay back all his loans in the first year of his new practice model - demonstrating that patient-centered care can be financially viable while improving doctor satisfaction and patient outcomes.EPISODE SUMMARYDr. Brian Lenzkes shares his journey from a traditional insurance-based medical practice to a direct primary care model, highlighting the fundamental problems in today's healthcare system. In his previous practice, he struggled to provide quality care while seeing 20-22 patients daily, dealing with endless paperwork, and fighting insurance companies. The breaking point came when he realized the system rewarded sicker patients rather than preventing illness. Now practicing direct primary care, he sees 6-10 patients daily, spending quality time with each one and focusing on metabolic health and prevention. The transition required courage and initially meant a pay cut, but resulted in better patient care, improved work-life balance, and professional satisfaction. Dr. Lenzkes explains how direct primary care reduces costs for patients while allowing doctors to practice medicine the way they envisioned. The conversation reveals how the traditional medical system contributes to physician burnout and high suicide rates, while alternative models like direct primary care offer hope for both doctors and patients.NOTABLE QUOTE"If someone gets diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and the doctor hasn't warned them at least 5 times, the doctor is committing malpractice.

US health systems are slowly adopting a patient-focused approach. Shanil Ebrahim, Partner in National Life Sciences & Healthcare Consulting Leader at Deloitte Canada, explains its benefits to Jim Cagliostro.    Episode Introduction Shanil explains why healthcare needs to move away from the ‘'one-size fits all'' approach to patient care, why patients should be treated as partners, rather than recipients, and the impact of a healthcare model designed around systems. He also outlines why patient-centered care is an investment in quality and efficiency and highlights the benefits of adaptability in leadership.   Show Topics   Patient care goes beyond managing health conditions Healthcare is designed around the needs of the system  ‘'Patient feedback should shape everything we do'' Funding the cost of change A champion for patient care Improving the patient experience leads to better outcomes Leadership tip: embracing adaptability      05:12 Patient care goes beyond managing health conditions   Shanil said patient-centered care is designed around patient preferences.  ‘'Ultimately, when you think about that term, at its core, patient-centered care is about ensuring that healthcare systems and all of their processes are fundamentally designed around the patient's needs or their experiences or their preferences I should say. And this approach goes beyond just treating diseases or managing health conditions. It's about considering patients as active participants in their own healthcare, which means that any sort of treatments or healthcare plans we develop, it's not about just focusing on clinical guidelines alone, but how do we deeply integrate that with the individual's lifestyle or their cultural background or their personal preferences into how those treatments are actually planned and executed?''    10:45 Healthcare is designed around the needs of the system Shanil explained how the historical context of healthcare models affects patient care today.  ‘'…your question really gets at the heart of many challenges that we face in healthcare today, irrespective of where you are, whether you're in North America or globally, and you have to consider that historically, our healthcare models were designed more around the needs of the healthcare system than the needs of the patient. All you have to do is look at things like financial models of all of these health systems, which is focused on volume and paying for services that a doctor provides over value of the services or take healthcare organizations like hospitals where they prioritize operational efficiency, where you have a ton of metrics around that over personalized care. And even though we may make patient-centered care sound easy and obvious, transitioning to that type of care is a big paradigm shift when you consider that historical context. And it requires both a shift in mindset and operations.''   11:48 ‘'Patient feedback should shape everything we do''   Shanil explained why the starting point is to consider the patient perspective.  ‘'And to me, first and foremost, it starts with leadership commitments, whether your ministers or C-suite execs at hospitals to re-envision what healthcare should look like from a patient's perspective. And this means aligning the organizational culture with patient-centric values and training your workforce to adopt this approach in every interaction in every decision. And when you think about what are practical first steps that you can actually take, it often involves gathering extensive patient feedback to understand their experiences and needs better. Something that we talked about obviously just at a length. And this feedback that we get from these patients should shape everything we do from policy to bedside manner. And technology plays a pretty crucial role here because it can be leveraged to improve communication with patients. It can be leveraged to offer more personalized health management tools or provide healthcare professionals with real-time data that is much more patient-specific, so that they can continue iterating in terms of what they need to do on a daily basis.''   16:19 Funding the cost of change  Shanil said the initial cost of transitioning to patient-centered care should be viewed as an investment in quality and efficiency.  ‘'Now in the US, where the healthcare system is more privatized, funding might come through insurance reimbursements or through investments by private health systems where they're looking to improve patient satisfaction and reduce long-term cost. You can't think about this as a short-term game, and you have to be able to measure what the value of the investment is now on something that hits long-term as well. And this is where whether your insurer or providers like hospitals, they could also tap into incentives offered by government programs or payers for meeting certain patient care standards and patient outcomes as well. So that's kind of giving you a contrast between those public health systems and the private healthcare systems, right? But regardless of the country, the initial cost of transitioning to patient-centered care needs to be viewed as investments. And these investments, by the way, Jim, are not just financial. They're investments in quality and efficiency, that over time lead to cost savings, right? Because you are reducing interventions over time, you're reducing hospital readmissions over time, and you're also improving the management of chronic conditions. So right now, if we're aligning with those value-based care models, which by the way is gaining a lot of traction worldwide, it provides that financial incentive to improve those patient outcomes and that naturally supports a care approach or a patient-centered care model.''   19:15 A champion of patient care Shanil said the role of patient experience officer is increasing but change starts with the CEO.  ‘'The question is how do we enable patient experience to be at the heart of the organization, because that's what ultimately it is, right? And usually it is a step-wise approach. So the first thing that we end up trying to see is who's going to be the champion? And largely, we want it to be the CEO of the organization. If it really comes from the top and they have their strategic priorities and strategic comparatives centered around the patient, it sends a message to not only the C-suite, but across the organization as well. So that's where we usually like to see it's starting right from the top. Now as we start to see this penetrate or proliferate throughout the organization, it's an interim solution, which is where you would want someone who owns this as a mandate going forward once the CEO has actually set its goals and the role of the patient experience officer is increasing quite a bit, and especially in larger, more modern type of healthcare settings because it bridges a gap between clinical care and patient satisfaction and someone has a mandate to continuously challenge that. Like isn't it great if we end up seeing the type of conversations that is happening between the patient experience officer and the CFO, which may end up having different imperatives where the CFO is not only thinking about the long-term cost, but of course thinking about the short-term cost as well and focused on operational efficiency indicators, whereas the patient experience officer is thinking about the long-term value that we're providing as a healthcare system.''   22:55 Improving the patient experience leads to better outcomes  Shanil said capturing and measuring the outcome data is the key focus.  ‘'In a value-based healthcare model, the focus is squarely on patient experience and outcomes. Because the fundamental principle behind this is that these factors directly correlate with the effectiveness of care. And in terms of reducing costs or the burden on the healthcare system, and a better patient experience often leads to higher levels of patient engagement, which is critical for the success or uptake or adoption of treatment plans and ultimately improves overall health outcomes, which is the end goal of whatever we're trying to do, right? So even in simpler words, when a person or a patient feels supported and valued, they're just much more likely to actually follow medical advice and maintain their health regimens. This kind of connecting on the diabetes example that I actually provided earlier as well. And when it comes to the measurement, you can measure these patient outcomes over time to see how effective it is, whether it's measuring recovery rates or complications or taking holistic approach and measuring quality of life, which there's a significant amount of instruments or questionnaires around it, and they all serve as indicators on how we're effectively doing this and how effectively this value-based system is actually operating. But to be able to do that, and this is also turning out to be a fundamental problem or enabler that we need to fix, is we need to be able to capture all of this, this outcome data and these experiences that patients are having, and then we need to measure that data and have some analytics to offer us insights into how we're doing.''   26:32 Leadership tip: Embracing adaptability  Shanil explained why adaptability has helped him to stay ahead.  ‘'…this is not just from a personal standpoint, but I also think about it from my team and the entire ecosystem because we're moving from traditional models of healthcare and healthcare delivery to highly tech enabled healthcare, and that shift is going to continuously increase as well, right? And ultimately, when you think about that tech enabled world, it's not about new software or fancy tools, it's just about a whole different way of thinking about patient care, thinking about patient data differently, thinking about how we improve effectiveness differently. And adaptability, ultimately thinking about all of these types of changes and in these type of contexts, for me as a leader, it means leading my team through this transition, ensuring that they are not only trained in new technologies, but they're also mentally prepared to embrace these type of changes, which is different because now it involves shifting our mindset from this is how we've done it previously, to what's the best way to do this now. And one thing I love about adaptability is that there's a lot of these sub-characteristics that are inherent to it to enable you to think differently. Because adaptability means you have to keep an open mind. Adaptability means that you have to be willing to learn continuously. It means you have to be resilient; you have to show that you're not afraid to pivot when the situation calls for it. And this approach, or this principle or this guiding principle, we'll call it, has not only helped me personally stay ahead, but it has also ensured that I can help lead my teams to continue to deliver high quality solutions to our clients no matter what changes come our way. So that would be the number one thing that I would share with your audience.   Connect with Lisa Miller on LinkedIn Connect with Jim Cagliostro on LinkedIn Connect with Shanil Ebrahim on LinkedIn    Check out VIE Healthcare and SpendMend    You'll also hear:    Healthcare is about people; Shanil's passion for improving patient care: ‘'….the reason I do this personally is because one, I'm really passionate about it and it really stems from personal and professional commitment to making healthcare better and more accessible, especially for underserved and vulnerable populations, which has been a common thread throughout my career in terms of serving those populations.''    Moving away from the one-size-fits-all approach to patient care: ‘'… we need to involve patients more directly, ensuring that they have easy access to their health information. We have to support them through various channels that respect their time, that respect their preferences, respect their individual life circumstances. And it's all about moving from your classic one-size-fits-all approach to something that is more tailored, more holistic, and responds to the needs of the patient.''   Creating a healthcare experience where patients are partners not just recipients: ‘'…if we truly want to do this right, we have to measure the true value from it because all the things that I'm saying are also hypotheses that are based off of research…..And the ROI should be that if we provide tailored approaches to patients, they'll be better managed. They will get to positive outcomes faster, which means incurring less costs in the long run and everyone should benefit.''   Why patient-centered care means a focus on the patient journey: ‘'And any sort of position, whether you call it a patient experience officer or someone wearing the hat of a C-suite executive that champions a patient experience, they would be focused on the patient journey through the healthcare system and ensuring that we're empowering the patient's experience. And one of the main reasons for creating such a role is let's have someone who systematically addresses and improves all aspects of patient experience.''   What To Do Next:   Subscribe to The Economics of Healthcare and receive a special report on 15 Effective Cost Savings Strategies.   There are three ways to work with VIE Healthcare:   Benchmark a vendor contract – either an existing contract or a new agreement.

“I realized that 95% of the scheduled surgeries, like shoulder/knee repairs, back fusions, even some pelvic floor surgeries, they're no more effective than doing nothing at all, on average.” - Heidi Ojha Heidi Ojha, founder of Aware Health and recently a part of our MSK roundtable, joined me this week in studio to talk about why there are so many unnecessary surgeries performed in this country, why these surgeries happen in the first place, and how she's trying to change that. Heidi's worked as a clinician before founding Aware and estimates that about 95% of scheduled surgeries led to no more positive outcomes than doing nothing at all. This is especially alarming given that MSK is the biggest chronic spend on most health plans. Heidi and I also expanded on the notion that behavioral health plays a huge part in why and how so many surgeries are performed. Outside of the cost to the plan, unnecessary surgeries are often risky for the patient and can lead to complications, and even other surgeries that add even more risk. Join us this week to find out how we can stop unnecessary surgeries from happening.

In this conversation, Dr. John Stenberg, Dr. Cameron Bearder and Dr. James Beadle discuss various topics related to upper cervical care. They emphasize the importance of patient-centered care and collaboration among chiropractors. They also explore the boundaries and standards in upper cervical care and the need for adaptation and growth in the chiropractic profession. Takeaways Patient-centered care and collaboration among chiropractors are essential for providing the best care for patients. The chiropractic profession needs to adapt and grow to meet the changing needs of patients. Defining and measuring positive patient outcomes is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of upper cervical care. The debate between upper and lower angle analysis highlights the need for further research and understanding in the field. Technique assumptions should be questioned and evaluated based on scientific evidence and patient outcomes. Assessing and monitoring patients is crucial in upper cervical care to evaluate progress and make informed treatment decisions. Pre-post examination data, the holding pattern, and patient feedback are valuable tools for assessing progress. Treatment should be individualized based on the patient's specific needs and response to care. Symptoms play an important role in assessing progress, and it is essential to set realistic expectations for improvement. Measuring and monitoring outcomes is important to show results and document progress. Measuring the sustainability of changes made through interventions is crucial. Understanding the frequency and intensity of interventions required to maintain changes is important. Different individuals may require different layers of intervention and careful dosing. Patterning and objective data collection can help in sustaining changes and avoiding dysfunction.

The current system of cancer care is not built to optimize for patients, according to our speakers. Clinical trials optimize for sponsor outcomes. Hospitals and clinics optimize for payer reimbursement. Translational research optimizes for publication impact. Electronic health records are optimized for billing efficiency. Join us in-person or online as Katie Coleman (cancer survivor, founder of the Chromophobe and Oncocytic Tumor Alliance and team member at the Rare Cancer Research Foundation) and Rare Cancer Research Foundation President Marshall Thompson advocate for a better way. Putting the patient at the center of the cancer research and care ecosystem requires new tools and capabilities. Patients are uniquely positioned—as both ultimate source and beneficiary of all cancer-related samples, data, and findings—to power a change in the way we approach oncology innovation in the clinic and in the laboratory. The first steps toward a patient-centered oncology research, collaboration and clinical exploration program are possible today, and RCRF is building toward a future that empowers all cancer patients to participate in and benefit from the promises of modern personalized medicine. About the Speakers Katie Coleman is a devoted and innovative software engineer whose experiences navigating an ultra-rare kidney cancer profoundly shaped her career and purpose. Her passion lies not only in finding solutions that improve that patient experience but also in leveraging her technical expertise to translate these solutions to reality in ways that provide patients opportunities to enable research and medical advances. As the product engineering lead at RCRF, Coleman's role transcends typical engineering boundaries. She marries her technical expertise with a personal commitment to advocacy, striving to propel research and improve outcomes for those battling rare cancers. Coleman is founder of the Chromophobe and Oncocytic Tumor Alliance. Marshall Thompson is a multi-disciplinary scientist, software engineer, and business leader with a strong interest in applying cutting-edge software practices to genomic-scale biological problems. Thompson completed his undergraduate studies at the University of New Mexico, where he earned degrees in biology and computer science. Marshall went on to earn a doctorate in genetics and genomics from Duke University. Thompson has a wealth of experience in the software and business industry, with skills in software architecture and development, consulting, product development, technical marketing, sales engineering, support, and support management.

In this episode of the BackTable Podcast, host Dr. Ally Baheti and Dr. Paramjit “Romi” Chopra discuss the processes involved in successful interventional radiology practice management. Dr. Chopra is an interventional radiologist practicing in Chicago, IL. He is the founder and CEO of Midwest Institute for Minimally Invasive Therapies. Dr. Chopra advises young IRs against going solo, and he suggests finding people who've done it before, to avoid “reinventing the wheel.” Dr. Chopra emphasizes the importance of adopting a patient-centered approach, building systems, developing business sense, and understanding risk. He shares his own experiences of building systems using Salesforce and explains the concept of ‘omni-channel healthcare delivery'. He particularly discusses the importance of patient, provider, and payer relationships, and he offers solutions for dealing with inherent complications. The episode also covers identifying the right electronic health record and developing an effective inventory management system. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Medtronic IN.PACT 018 DCB https://www.medtronic.com/018 Reflow Medical https://www.reflowmedical.com/ --- SHOW NOTES 00:00 - Introduction 05:41 - Shift from Academic Medicine to Entrepreneurship 09:40 - Patient-Centered Care in Interventional Radiology 11:13 - Challenges of Starting an Independent Practice 17:49 - Role of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in Modern Healthcare 26:15 - Challenges of Implementing EHRs in Interventional Radiology 35:30 - Misconceptions about Outpatient Based Labs (OBLs) 37:01 - Understanding the Payer System 38:19 - Challenge of Insurance Coverage 51:43 - Practice Management Companies --- RESOURCES MIMIT Healthcare: https://mimithealth.com/physicians-executives The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It by Michael E.
