Podcasts about Population Health Management

This podcast today is with Dr. Scott Conard, founder of Converging Health. You might remember him from the earlier episode (EP391). First of all, I enjoyed how it came to be. Brian Uhlig, an employee benefit consultant of some acclaim, came to me and offered to sponsor a show for someone else. Not himself. I gotta say, it's stuff like this that warms my heart. It's this village that we have here, this tribe of Relentless folks trying so hard to stand up for and help patients. So, thanks again to Brian Uhlig. Right now, Dr. Conard is doing a bunch of work with Mike Adams from 7-Eleven, helping their plan members. A lot of this work is centered on and about a few pretty striking but very common insights that many plan sponsors will find in their own data. It turns out about 70%, give or take, of people who wind up costing the plan whatever the high-cost threshold is in any given plan year. These higher-cost claimants didn't fall out of the sky unexpectedly, 70% of them. They were actually high risk but low cost in prior years. So, the trick is to find these individuals and help them not fall into the high-risk and high-cost part of the graph. If the goal is how to best manage a population of members, a lot of that is, again, identifying high-risk patients who are currently in the low-cost zone, who, any given plan year, are gonna go out of that zone and get into the high-cost area. So, if we're thinking about best practices to avoid this, I'm gonna run through Dr. Conard's list that we mostly run through in the show that follows. Lastly, we touch a little bit in the show today on community-run primary care. This is a community paying for primary care for community members, just like they pay the fire department and the police department. There's a town in Rhode Island doing this that Dr. Conard talks about today. In fact, Michael Fine, MD, is part of this effort in Rhode Island.  === LINKS ===

What is value-based care? How does value-based care work? How to optimize value-based care? What is population health management? What is cost control in healthcare? Our guest is Lori Prestesater, senior vice president of Health Solutions at the American Medical Association, discusses the evolution of value-based care delivery and the the three pillars of value-based care: population health and quality management, cost management, and alternative payment models. She shares CPT code news and examples of CPT code changes in healthcare payment models, like the rise of digitally enabled care during the COVID pandemic for telehealth and telemedicine services. AMA CXO Todd Unger hosts.

One of the big learnings from CalAIM: the enhanced care management models that work for adults dont work for childrenHow Medi-Cal is leveraging health plans as the organizers of social care because that's where the members areThe soon-to-be-released population health management service will address two big issues: standardized and equitable approaches to identifying high risk members and integrating state level benefits data, like for WIC Palav reminds us that CalAIM was built through listening:“Not everyone may know this, but CalAIM was generated from a statewide listening tour. Our previous state Medicaid director went around the state and literally asked communities… rooms full of plans, members, providers, what do you need from Medi-Cal that isn't working today? [The] smorgasbord of recommendations is what turned into CalAIM … Listening to the community and responding to the community's needs is in the core DNA of this program.”Relevant LinksListen to our related episode “Reflecting on Year One of CalAIM with Jacey Cooper”CalAIM dashboard Population health management policy guide California and other states require managed care plans to reinvest in local communitiesNY waiver summaryAbout Our GuestDr. Palav Babaria was appointed Chief Quality Officer and Deputy Director of Quality and Population Health Management of the California Department of Health Care Services beginning in March 2021.

But believing in them and interacting with them are two very different matters. Our recent international study showed 75 percent believe in angels, and of those, 36 percent indicated they've had an angel experience or encounter.   Whether you are a true believer, a healthy skeptic, or somewhere in between, Looking for Angels: A Guide to Understanding and Connecting with Angels will help you do just that. Written by Dr. Scott Guerin and renowned intuitive Nichole Bigley, this book shares the history of angels throughout religion, science, and psychology. In addition, detailed instructions are provided to learn how to connect with your spirit team.   Through true stories, data and insights, and expert tips, this book is an invaluable tool for anyone interested in learning more about these divine beings, as well as how to connect and communicate with them.   Looking for Angels is the definitive book on who or what angels truly are across all spiritual traditions and on how to call on them, recognize them, and work with them (even if you never thought you could). No other book on angels is as comprehensive or as practical. —Katy Koontz, editor of Unity Magazine      Scott Guerin, PhD   The driving force behind Dr. Scott Guerin's life has been his passion for unraveling the mysteries of God, Universe, and Source, and the intricate tapestry of their relationship with humanity.

Yeah, it's a fact that the vast majority of past and present provider and payer relationships are not exactly collaborative. They may better be described as fairly adversarial, actually—especially when viewed through the lens of provider organizations trying really hard to find a payment model that will enable them to do better by their patients and deliver better outcomes. We've had Justina Lehman (EP414), Ali Ucar (EP362), Dan O'Neill (EP359) talking about this from the provider organization standpoint. We also had Dan Serrano (EP410) and Will Shrank, MD (EP413) corroborating here. But after each of these earlier episodes, many comments and conversations ensued about said potential (or not) payer/provider collaborations. And there was a theme of many of these online exchanges. The theme was wondering if we'd all get laughed at for even talking about these rare and elusive Shangri-la scenarios. Like expending words and energy thinking about payers and providers working together was as crazy as being seen earnestly discussing, I don't know, whether mermaids know about pants or something. And that's why I wanted to get Josh Berlin on the podcast today: to talk about the why, the what, and the how of collaboration. I wanted to know if there really is a solid why here for the why collaborate, especially from a payer point of view. And when I say payer, I mean a payer kind of payer like a Blue Cross, United, Cigna, Aetna plan kind of payer. And I'm calling that out because payers are intermediaries in all cases except for their fully insured members. Except for that one book of business, entities actually taking the risk are taxpayers or self-insured employers. So, saving money on its face is not a super compelling value proposition. Listen to the show with David Contorno (EP339) for the why there. As we talk about in the interview that follows, though, what might be compelling is predictable spend, possibly—or even more compelling could be a competitive differentiation for that payer that leads to higher market share. Payer/provider collaborations can also lead to a more resilient market foothold that can stand up to threats from upstart competitors or big tech and big retail swooping in looking for a tasty slice of this $3 trillion industry. There's also the potential for a higher profit margin. And, oh, one additional reason to collaborate if you're a payer that we don't get into super heavily but I'd be remiss to not mention is the whole Star Ratings thing for Medicare Advantage plans, because stars equal big money. But a payer is not gonna get that Star Rating shekel if providers aren't delivering high enough quality care. Also, of course, we have HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) and other quality measures that have financial value ascribed to them. In the conversation that follows, Josh talks about different types of collaborations. Collaboration is a really very vague term, so what exactly is this collaboration, what does it entail, and how do you do it? Josh told me that there are five kinds of collaboration, and here they are in order of their depth of entanglement, I guess you could call it. 1. Sharing data back and forth 2. Use that data to identify areas of need and then do something programmatic together, like create clinical pathways or work on one very specific type of quality program. 3. A joint venture (JV)—you JV and work together on some sort of narrow network kind of product 4. Become capital partners in some way. 5. Having a risk-bearing kind of relationship—the provider gets a piece of the premium dollar So, that's the five types of collaboration. But here's the things you've got to tick through, that you have to really go through and make sure you've got all these things before you start. Otherwise, it'll be a monumental waste of time. 1. Complementary capabilities that enable scalability 2. A desire for sustainability in a market, and both have common goals and objectives and an agreed-upon time horizon 3. Both parties need to be pretty flexible. Rigid products have a shelf life. You've got to be willing to advance with market dynamics flexibly—know how to iterate around whatever it is you're doing. 4. Excel at collaboration. If you're going to collaborate, you have to know how to collaborate. And that's a cultural thing. 5. Compatible risk profiles—this means not just “taking risk” but knowing how to do it in a way that will work and navigating around things that could cause trouble when moving from fee for service to a more capitated way of going about things. Josh talks about some of them. Just to loop back around on #4 there, because … yeah, to collaborate, you need to collaborate. I call Josh out on this one, and he reiterates that … yeah, nothing to take for granted here. It might seem obvious, but it's so frequently an internal unknown unknown—at a lot of payers especially. I mean, if I'm a provider organization and you force me to only communicate with you through snail mail (ie, postage stamp, letter box, the whole nine), I don't know, I'd kind of get the vibe that I'm being enthusiastically ignored, which I just cannot square with a collaborative spirit of any kind. Josh Berlin is a founding partner of Rule of Three, which is a consulting firm. Rule of Three has clients that are physician practices, hospitals, health systems on the traditional side; and they also work with nontraditional organizations like Walmart Health and Wellness. They also work with payers, like regional blues and employer plans.   You can learn more at Rule of Three and by connecting with them on LinkedIn.   Josh M. Berlin, JD, is CEO of Rule of Three, LLC, with more than 25 years of experience, most of which has been in healthcare advisory in service to his clients. Most recently, he has served as principal and co-practice leader of Citrin Cooperman's Healthcare Practice and managing partner for IBM Watson Health's Strategic Advisory Practice, leading a unique group of consultants in each instance to serve clients across the full healthcare ecosystem (providers, payers, employers, governments, advocacy, etc). Prior to those roles, Josh served as a principal in the healthcare consulting practice at Dixon Hughes Goodman (now FORVIS), helping to lead their strategy consulting business, and served as a leader in all versions of KPMG (KPMG Consulting/BearingPoint and KPMG). Currently, he serves on the Boards of the Validation Institute, Population Health Management journal, and HealthTrackRx. Josh's expertise spans both the consulting and healthcare industries. Some of his clients have included the Hospital Corporation of America, the Department of Health and Human Services (including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), various pediatric health systems, the National Association for Healthcare Quality, Nebraska Medicine, Penn Medicine, the Ochsner Health System/Network, the BJC Collaborative, and The Leapfrog Group, as well as a variety of other healthcare organizations. Josh has developed long-standing client relationships at all levels of organizations, notably including some of the most prestigious C-suite executives in healthcare today.   06:06 Why should payers want to collaborate with providers? 09:46 “Collaboration … is bilateral. … Both sides, plan and provider, should be equally as interactive with the individual populations they work with.” 12:37 What are the must-haves for collaboration between providers and payers? 13:10 What are the five different types of collaboration? 16:03 What are the five characteristics you want to be focused on in partnership? 21:35 EP359 with Dan O'Neill. 22:16 In order to collaborate, do you have to be collaborative? 26:11 Ochsner as a great example of collaboration. 27:46 Episodes with David Carmouche, MD, and Eric Gallagher. 28:51 A collaboration failure in Haven.   You can learn more at Rule of Three and by connecting with them on LinkedIn.   Josh M.

If you're like most employers, you're constantly making decisions about the best way to allocate scarce resources. This is a difficult and high-stakes task that has only been made more important by rising costs, a down economy, and a red-hot labor market. OneDigital is here to help with the Moneyball Benefits Podcast.In this series, Director of Compliance and Innovation Scott Wham takes inspiration from the "Moneyball" philosophy that revolutionized professional sports in the 2000s and applies it to the world of human capital management. In episode five, Scott is joined by National Health and Wellbeing Practice Leader Shira Wilensky to talk about how a modernized population health management strategy can save employers money.

For the past few years, digital health has made great strides in providing new ways of healthcare access for patients. But this also means new challenges and obstacles have emerged. This year, at the Digital Healthcare Innovation Summit, leaders in women's health talked about how they and their companies are finding ways to help patients access healthcare more easily, as well as the creation of sustainable business models, understanding the market, and how to measure success. They also share their own experiences of working with patients and what inspired them to find new ways to help the underprivileged. Finally, they address generational needs and differences and discuss their hopes for the future of women's health. Links from this episode:  HealthEdge

“When we hear the phrase the return on investment, there is a predilection to jump towards cash returns on cash investment.
