Podcasts about pophealth week

On this special “Making America Healthy Again” edition of PopHealth Week, Fred and Gregg take on a volatile question: what happens when a legitimate prevention agenda collides with abrupt, top-down decisions across the public health infrastructure? Anchored in recent federal changes to childhood vaccine recommendations and upheaval in advisory processes, the conversation traces how trust is built - or broken - through transparency, data visibility, and scientific governance. They explore the implications of reduced routine vaccine guidance, the removal and replacement of expert advisory committee members, and the risks of “flying blind” when surveillance systems pause or disappear. With measles resurgence as a real-time stress test, Gregg and Fred challenge the false binary of “medical freedom vs. public health,” and close with practical guidance: partner with trusted clinicians and evidence-based medical society recommendations while the policy environment remains unsettled.

On this episode Fred welcomes Nick van Terheyden, MD, ACPA-C (Dr. Nick) a digital health leader and CEO of Med Claims Compliance for a wide-ranging conversation on what it will take to turn today's AI hype into measurable healthcare value. Dr. Nick shares a pragmatic lens: start with the problem, map the workflow, then decide whether AI belongs in the solution and if so, what guardrails are non-negotiable. The discussion explores the real risks of generative AI (including confident “hallucinations”), the importance of transparency and accountability, and why “bolt-on” AI tools often fail when they ignore clinical realities. They also pivot to a vivid example of system strain: prescription access and cost—where refills can become “friction by design,” and where programs like Utah's PEHP “pharmacy tourism” reveal how extreme U.S. drug pricing has become. Finally, they unpack what GLP-1 weight-loss medications are teaching us about chronic-care economics and the predictable rebound after discontinuation."

Year-End Reality Check: Public Health, Medicare Advantage, and the Limits of AI. 2025 Year-End Reflections is a candid, unscripted look at the biggest shifts shaping population health and covered lives heading into 2026. Gregg and Fred tackle the year's most consequential story first: the destabilization of public health prevention and early warning, and why those blind spots may echo for years. From there, they unpack the affordability fallout of expiring enhanced ACA premium tax credits "QHP" (Qualified Health Plan) sticker shock, the coverage implications of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," Medicare Advantage as an ongoing trust stress test, and where AI realistically helps (admin/workflow) versus where it risks hype, bias, and added burden.

Meet Clay Johnston, MD, PhD, MPH, Cofounder & Chief Medical Officer, Harbor Health. They discuss why so many smart care redesign efforts end up as…yet another white paper. Clay talks about his “been there, rebuilt that” experience: you can absolutely reengineer pathways to reduce unnecessary procedures, shift work to the right team members, use tech for follow-ups, and improve outcomes. The problem is that in classic fee-for-service, the system often pays handsomely for the stuff you're trying to avoid (unnecessary utilization) and barely pays for what actually keeps people well (coaching, check-ins, prevention, navigation).

This week on PopHealth Week, Fred Goldstein had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Ashley Reynolds, Chief Product and Experience Officer at Glytec, a health tech company revolutionizing the management of glycemic control in healthcare settings. With a dynamic career path that began in the Navy as a corpsman and evolved through nursing, emergency care, and a Ph.D. in digital health, Ashley brings a unique perspective to the healthcare industry. His journey is a testament to his passion for transforming patient care through technology. Ashley's journey into healthcare began in an unexpected way. Originally a pre-med student, financial constraints led him to join the military, where he served as a Navy corpsman—essentially a combat medic. This early experience laid the foundation for his nursing career, where he worked in intensive and critical care settings. It was here that he discovered a passion for understanding the "why" behind patients' health conditions. This curiosity led him to pivot into population health and eventually to pursue a Ph.D. focused on how digital tools can drive behavioral change in healthcare. Over the years, Ashley has held leadership roles in health tech startups and healthcare systems, leading to her current role at Glytec, where he oversees product and customer experience with a focus on leveraging technology for better clinical outcomes.
