On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, Baruch Feigenbaum of the Reason Foundation returns to talk about developments in Michigan for a road user charge (RUC) model for funding roads. The concept is also referred to as mileage-based user fees (MBUF) by some.Feigenbaum, senior managing director of transportation policy at Reason, testified June 24 at a Michigan House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee about the concept, addressing concerns about privacy and other aspects. A pilot program included in both the Gov. Whitmer's and the Senate's proposed budgets would gather feedback from residents and examine implementation strategies. 

Emissão a partir do Estúdio 3 da RUC, dado que o Estúdio 1 está em remodelação técnica, como nos conta a Sofia Relvão.Esta conversa de Café à Mesa da Rádio é animada, como vem sendo hábito nos últimos tempos, pelo António Apolinário Lourenço e pelo João Pedro Gonçalves.

The Infrastructure Commission's draft 30-year plan is the kind of big picture thinking we've been saying is needed, instead of the ad-hoc, politically driven approach we have at the moment. Essentially, the Commission says we're going to need less schools and more hospitals because of the ageing population. It also says we're going to need more roads and better roads, and we're going to have to do some serious thinking about how we pay for them. Its draft plan doesn't go into too much detail, other than we're going to have to have more user-pays. Already, we've got one commentator floating an idea that I don't necessarily like, but which I think is inevitable. Because, as the Infrastructure Commission is hinting at, the current way we fund roading in New Zealand has “yesterday” written all over it. Once upon a time, it was probably feasible or sustainable for the government and councils to pay for it all. Or us to pay for it all through our taxes and our rates and not have to pay anything else on top of that. But those days are gone. Which is why I think Matthew Birchall from the New Zealand Initiative think-tank is onto something. He reckons that we should do away with the current road-user charging model —which has people driving the likes of diesel vehicles paying road user charges— and replace it with distance-based charging for all vehicles, on all roads. So the more you drive, the more you pay. He says with vehicles becoming more fuel-efficient and electric cars growing in popularity, the current model isn't fit for purpose. In the next decade alone, NZTA reckons it will be short of about $4 billion to $5 billion. That's the next decade, let alone the next 30 years. He says we need a fairer system that directly links road user charges to those of us who use the roads and how much we use them. And, aside from being a very practical way of getting the money needed for roads, I reckon it would also work in favour of people who think we should all be on public transport. Because, chances are, it might be cheaper in some instances to take the bus. Matthew Birchall calls his idea “smart road user charging” – or smart RUCs. He says: “Under this system, fuel excise duty would be gradually phased out and replaced with distance-based charging for all vehicles." He says road users would choose between an automated “pay-as-you-drive” system or a pre-purchased RUC licence, similar to the existing diesel RUC system. And he says charges would vary based on factors like vehicle type, weight, and time of travel, ensuring that costs are allocated efficiently and equitably. I'm not sure about the equitably bit because I imagine people living in our bigger cities who might not be big income earners might live further out of town and, therefore, might be stung more than wealthier people living closer to the city. But, broadly, I think it's a great idea. In fact, I think it's a no-brainer. I don't love it. But I think it is inevitable. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For this episode I'm joined by a man well known ex-loyalist paramilitary and one-time leader of the Lower Shankill Road's infamous UDA (Ulster Defence Association), Johnny Adair.Johnny speaks about his growing up in Belfast during some of it's most turbulent and violent times, his lifelong friend with UDA k*ller Sam McCrory and he came to join, and later lead the Lower Shankill Road's UDA C- Company. We discussed his days as an active paramilitary, his many near brushes with death and how he viewed his opposition, the Provisional IRA and the INLA/IPLO. I asked Johnny his thoughts on C-Company's victims and whether he has any regrets looking back. We spoke about the RUC's many attempts to both jail him, which they eventually would, and to recruit him as an informant. Johnny shares his surprising thoughts on the republican hunger strikers who died in 1981, whether he himself would have been willing to do the same if called upon and what life is like for him now, living away from the city that he once saw himself a defender of.PLEASE HELP OUT THE SHOW IF YOU CAN SPARE IT..

Stand-Up to RacismIn 1972 Catholic families – who had endured three years of sustained sectarian attacks on their homes – fled Annalee St in North Belfast. Last month - fifty-three years later - Catholic homes in Annalee St. were again the target of sectarian attack and families were forced to flee. In the last fortnight we have also witnessed the firebombing of homes in Ballymena, the Larne Leisure Centre and racist attacks in other parts of the North.The images of homes in flames in Ballymena reminded me of similar scenes I first witnessed in Belfast in August 1969. The film footage of that period is of streets ablaze, frightened families hurriedly stacking furniture on lorries or carrying their most precious possessions on their backs. Then it was the racism and sectarianism of the apartheid unionist state attacking nationalist and republican families, killing residents, destroying hundreds of homes and forcing thousands to become refugees in our own city.Regrettably, the same sectarian and racist fundamentalism that motivated those attacks still exists today among some in our society who campaign against housing for Catholics, hang effigies of political leaders on bonfires and use violent rhetoric to promote hate crime against immigrants and those they define as ‘others'. That is those who are of a different religion or colour, or sexual orientation. Defending NeutralityThe Israeli rogue state has set the world on a dangerous course. Its deadly assault on Iran, allied to its violent actions in Lebanon and Syria and its genocidal war on the Palestinian people, has cast a huge shadow over the Middle East. As its military forces continue to kill scores of Palestinians daily in Gaza and its war planes attack Iran the Israeli military imposed a complete siege on the west Bank. Over a thousand military checkpoints which provide Israel with absolute control over the occupied west Bank, were completely closed imposing a siege on the Palestinian towns, villages and isolated farms of that region.As the world focusses on the exchanges between Israel and Iran the Zionists' genocidal and ethnic cleansing strategy against the Palestinian people is escalating. Those western states that have refused to challenge Israel's murder of tens of thousands of Palestinians or stand-by international law, are now defending Israel's attack on Iran using the same unacceptable excuse that Israel has the right to defend itself.Pat Finucane - End the DelayIt has been ten months since the British Secretary of State Hilary Benn first announced that he was setting up an independent inquiry into the killing of Pat Finucane under the 2005 Inquiries Act. Last week he appointed Sir Gary Hickinbottom as the Chair of the Inquiry. Hickinbottom has been given responsibility for investigating one of the most high profile examples of state collusion between loyalist death squads and British state agents and agencies during the decades of conflict.As well as Hickinbottom, former Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan and international human rights lawyer Francesca Del Mese have been appointed as assessors to the inquiry. Their role is to advise the Chair but they will not be involved in any final report.It has been a long difficult road for Geraldine Finucane and her family to secure this Inquiry. Twenty-four years ago the British and Irish governments agreed at Weston Park to establish public inquiries into a number of troubles-related cases. Canadian Judge Peter Cory recommended inquiries into the deaths of: Rosemary Nelson, Robert Hamill, Billy Wright, and Patrick Finucane and also into the deaths of RUC officers Bob Buchanan and Harry Breen.

Description: In this episode of The Interventional Endoscopist, I dive divs into one of the most impactful developments in advanced GI care: the approval of dedicated Category I CPT codes for Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD). These long-awaited codes, one for upper GI and one for lower GI, go into effect on January 1, 2027 — and could finally unlock broader access, adoption, and reimbursement for ESD in the U.S. I discuss: The clinical value of ESD and why adoption has been slow How reimbursement barriers have held the technique back What Category I CPT code approval by the AMA actually means A detailed timeline of what happens between now and 2027 The role of the RUC, CMS, and commercial payers How GI practices, hospitals, ASCs, and coders should prepare Why this could signal a tipping point for training, education, and device innovation If you're performing ESD, planning to learn, or managing coding and billing for a GI practice, this episode is your roadmap.

How is reimbursement decided? Have an inside look from the committee itself as we unpack exactly how a new CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) code is created, assessed, and ultimately valued for physician Medicare reimbursement. In this episode of BackTable, Dr. Sabeen Dhand is joined by radiation oncologist Dr. Amar Rewari and interventional radiologist Dr. Curtis Anderson, both of whom sit on the RVS Update Committee (RUC).---SYNPOSISThe conversation covers who participates in the RUC, the preparation it takes to propose a new CPT code, and what it's like to collaborate with physicians from all specialties. They discuss the confidential yet crucial role of the RUC in determining physician work and practice expenses, advocacy efforts, and the impact of healthcare policies on reimbursement. The doctors stress the importance of physician engagement—especially through member surveys—and share how providers can get involved. The guests also touch on their personal journeys and motivations within the RUC and introduce Dr. Rewari's podcast, ‘Value Health Voices', which focuses on healthcare policy and economics.---TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Introduction and Importance of Surveys01:18 - Understanding the RVS Update Committee (RUC)6:36 - How Does a New CPT Code Get Introduced?09:44 - Challenges and Dynamics within the RUC20:52 - Health Value Voices Podcast22:51 - Transparency in Healthcare Policy24:39 - Future of Healthcare Payments29:00 - Getting Involved in Healthcare Policy33:43- Final Thoughts and Call to Action---RESOURCESHealth Value Voices Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cxnf4Il3QK3cvFFKxwPWL?si=212d084a09034cf2

On this week's episode of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation about states studying or piloting road usage charges (RUC).John Peracchio, a strategic adviser on intelligent transportation systems and mobility, and member of the Michigan Council on Future Mobility and Electrification, talks about key takeaways from a recent conference of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA), where RUC programs were a key topic.  Also discussed is what has been learned from other states and what it means that a proposal in the Michigan transportation budget would fund an RUC pilot. Hawaii has been especially aggressive in implementation, and Peracchio explains the unique nature.  As an advocate for increased funding for public transit, Peracchio also discusses how RUC could be structured to help.

In this episode of Equine Assisted World, Rupert Isaacson sits down with Dr. Helen Sharp, an equine journalist, academic, and co-founder of Groundwork EAS—an equine-assisted charity on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. A leading voice in both equine media and trauma-informed equine work, Dr. Sharp brings a unique blend of artistry, horsemanship, and therapeutic insight to everything she does.She writes for The Irish Field and Farmers Journal, and her career spans journalism, community arts, equine bodywork, and academic research. She holds a PhD and has a background in sculpture and performance art, with her creative and research work shown around the world. As co-director of Groundwork, she serves veterans, trauma survivors, and neurodivergent individuals through programs that fuse nature, horses, and compassionate partnership.This powerful conversation traces her extraordinary journey from the Hebrides to heroin recovery, from performance art to equine-assisted leadership, and why horses continue to be the greatest teachers of all.

Netflix-serien Adolescence er nok den mest omtalte tv-serie for tiden. Den handler om den tilsyneladende helt almindelige 13-årige dreng Jamie, som har dræbt en jævnaldrende pige. Spørgsmålet, serien rejser, er, hvorfor Jamie gjorde, som han gjorde, og hvert afsnit er en undersøgelse af, hvad der fik en helt almindelig dreng fra en helt almindelig familie til at dræbe et andet menneske. Serien handler om maskulinitet i krise - og om, hvordan denne krise kultiveres, formes og forstærkes på nettet. For hvor den analoge verden ikke har tid til drengenes frustrationer og identitetskrise, findes der fora på nettet, der har. Fora fyldt med ligesindede, der både tilbyder omsorg og radikale forklaringer. Udsyn vil - sammen med Kenneth Reinicke, lektor og mandeforsker på RUC - forsøge at udfolde, hvad det er for en identitetskrise, mange drenge og unge mænd tilsyneladende befinder sig i. Vært: Kaspar Colling Nielsen.

Når kvinder på portrætfotografier fra slutningen af 1800-tallet optrådte i herretøj med cigaretter og cykler, var det kodesprog for deres modernitet og kønslige orientering.

In 1984, the British government banned Martin Galvin from entering Northern Ireland. Galvin was a key figure in Noraid, the American organisation raising funds for Republican prisoners. In an explosive appearance on today's Free State, Martin Galvin tells the story of his journey in the republican movement. Ahead of a brilliant new RTÉ documentary he describes the events of that summer in 1984. Galvin was smuggled into the North and made an appearance at a rally where one man was killed by the RUC as they tried to arrest Galvin Joe and Galvin clash with Dion over the events of that day. They also discuss his work to get Gerry Adams a visa in America and how Sinn Fein went in another direction when they decided it was a time for pragmatists.Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.For more on Free State: https://freestatepodcast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Rosemary Nelson died in March 1999 after a bomb exploded under her car. The Red Hand Defenders took responsibility.

23 years after its emergence, the PSNI is still less than one third Catholic and the numbers attempting to join are according to the Chief Constable "below what's needed". Its latest recruitment campaign attracted a total of 3,500 applications but only 27% are perceived to be Catholic. The PSNI was born out of the Patten reforms of the old RUC but the changes which reforms brought about were painful for many who saw them as a betrayal. The controversial 50/50, Catholic / Protestant recruitment policy was seen as discrimination against Protestants. Allison Morris joins Ciarán Dunbar to explain the background of the PSNI and the current difficulties it faces. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"Jeg vælger at være på den måde, jeg er. Jeg er ikke født sådan her. Jeg ønsker borgerrettigheder på grundlag af værdighed og selvvalg. Jeg vil ikke være som alle andre. Jeg elsker at elske med kvinder". Sådan siger Joan Nestle, amerikansk forfatter og mangeårig aktivist i kampen for kvinders seksuelle frihed og ligestilling. En ny bog med titlen 'Hjertet begærer' fortæller om lesbisk kulturhistorie og de kampe, som kvinder, der begærer deres medsøstre, har måttet stå igennem siden det 18. århundrede. Hvordan er de lesbiskes historie blevet fortalt gennem tiden? Hvordan levede man som lesbisk før det blev socialt acceptabelt? Og er kampen tilendebragt? Det er nogle af spørgsmålene i dagens udgave af Kampen om Historien, hvor Adam Holm taler med Karin Cohr Lützen, ph.d. og lektor emerita i historie ved RUC samt forfatter til 'Hvad hjertet begærer'.

Nollag Shona Daoibhse.I enjoy Christmas time. It a time for family and friends and for relaxation. For children and Dadaí na Nollaig and presents. For visiting family. For good food – often too much good food - good craic and sitting at home watching a movie, listening to music and reading a good book. It's a time for remembering those who are no longer with us or for visiting those sick or in hospital.60 Years A Growing. As this year draws to a close it strikes me that I first became an activist sixty years ago. It was in September 1964. I was a student in St. Mary's Grammar School in Barrack Street at the bottom of Divis Street.  On my way to school I noticed that a shop front in Divis Street was plastered with election posters for the upcoming British General Election.  Liam McMillan, a local republican had his election office there. He displayed the Irish national flag in the shop window. The flag was illegal and the RUC, at the behest of Ian Paisley, an up and coming demagogue, using crowbars and pickaxes smashed their way into the election office and seized the flag. The republicans replaced it and there were a few days of street disturbances. The Divis Street Riots.  2024 – A defining year for UnityLast February the North's political institutions were re-established. This was an important development but more crucially Michelle O'Neill was elected as First Minister of the Executive. This was a historic moment in the constitutional transformation that commenced with the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. 

Rosaleen O'Kane was found in a burning flat in north Belfast in 1976, her body stripped and set on fire. Rosaleen was 33 years old. Why did the RUC not investigate her murder? Why were her family told her death might have something to do with 'black magic'? This episode was originally published in August 2023. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm diving into the future of marketing as 2025 approaches. Prepare for major changes in small business strategies, especially the increasing importance of trust—81% of consumers distrust social media content, preferring businesses over celebrities.

The Official SuperCoach AFL Podcast exclusively reveals and explains the brand new FLEX position!To bring Australia’s biggest and best fantasy game into a new era, SuperCoach will have an exciting new look from 2025 with the addition of a brand new position. In this episode, Al Paton, The Phantom, Patch, and Dos break down the brand new rule change that unlocks all-new strategies to explore while bidding farewell to surprise sub or injury-affected scores of yesteryear. The Flex player will expand squads to 31, and coaches will pick 23 players to start on field each round, up from 22. Crucially, weekly totals will be made up of the best scoring 22 of your 23 on-field players - effectively dropping the lowest score each round.The crew also discuss which players have caught their eye so far this pre-season and who they will be picking first the moment that Team Picker opens (stay tuned)!FLEX QUESTIONS ANSWEREDIs the salary cap increasing?No, the salary cap will remain at $10 million. But player prices will be adjusted across the board to allow for an extra player being selected in 31-man squads. So, for example, a player who would have previously been priced at $600,000 to start the season will be closer to $580,000 in 2025. The adjustments will occur across all price categories and will be relative (smaller for players at the cheaper end of the scale). Keep an eye out for $99k rookies! Can the Flex player be nominated as captain or vice-captain?Yes. The Flex player is treated the same as anyone else in your starting line-up and can be traded, substituted (with another player in the corresponding position or via DPP) or named C or VC. One factor to keep in mind - there is no emergency cover for your selected Flex player. If they don't play, the zero score will drop out of your total for the week but there will be no cover from the bench. How does best 22 scoring work and are emergencies included?Each round, you’ll score from your best 22 players only in any position, from your selected, on-field Starting 23 (including your Flex player selection). You’ll still need to ensure that your best available players are in your starting line-up. Select up to four Emergencies across the DEF, MID, RUC and FWD positions. Emergencies will continue to replace non-starting players in your starting line-up, in the same position (including any ‘bye’ player that you may have left in your starting line-up) and their score will only count if it is in your Best 22. What happens if my captain isn't in my best 22?If your captain’s doubled score is NOT in your Best 22 scores for the round, then their points will not count - you simply get your Best 22 scores only. Similarly, if your captain’s doubled-score is NOT in your best 22 scores, you do NOT automatically receive double points from your vice captain - your vice Captain only receives double points if your captain does not play for any reason.

DERVOS, 10/25/24, NYCRenewables have been breaking many of the mechanisms in our power markets, irrespective of structure. Across energy only, IRP, and capacity markets, we have been seeing "weirdness" in price action and regulatory responses as solar and wind continue to dominate new installs. It'll be an acronym stew: from PCM and RUC buying in ERCOT, adjusting ELCCs in PJM leading to capacity prices 10x'ing, to NEM 3.0 in CAISO. We want to contend with what this means today and then try to map a path into where it all leads tomorrow. Will these existing structures adapt, or will something new emerge?Speakers: Jacob Mays (Cornell), Brian Bartholomew (REV Renewables), Eric Goff (Goff Policy), Andy Reger (PA Consulting)Moderator: James McGinniss (DER Task Force & David Energy) This is a public episode.

Den politiske aktivisme er tilbage. Hver dag kan man læse om happenings, civil ulydighed og det, der er voldsommere, fra hele verden. Unge sultestrejker for klimaet foran Christiansborg. I England lukker klimaaktivister den mest befærdede indfaldsvej til London, mens andre smider suppe på Van Goghs solsikker. Dertil kommer de store politiske mobiliseringer på de sociale medier som #MeToo, BLM osv., der ønsker omfattende kulturelle og strukturelle forandringer. Som i 1970'erne er alt igen politisk. Udsyn taler i dag med lektor i samfundsvidenskab på RUC, Silas Harrebye, om, hvad der ligger til grund for den aktivistiske opblomstring, og om de problemer, aktivisterne adresserer, overhovedet kan løses inden for rammerne af vores liberale demokratier.

Hele sommeren er unge kenyanere gået på gaden i frustration over, hvad de selv kalder "de gamle regimer". Optøjerne har efterfølgende bredt sig til Uganda og Nigeria, der også rummer store frustrerede ungdomsgenerationer, som på trods af et relativt højt uddannelsesniveau, kan se frem til arbejdsløshed. Og der bliver stadig flere unge på kontinentet: I dag er 400 mio. afrikanere mellem 18 og 35 år, og i 2050 vil tallet være over det dobbelte. Det er bl.a. på den baggrund, at regeringen herhjemme netop har præsenteret sin nye Afrika strategi, "Afrikas Århundrede", der plæderer for mere samarbejde og flere investeringer på kontinentet, frem for den moraliserende og humanitære tilgang, Danmark traditionelt har haft. Sammen med Jacob Rasmussen, ph.d. og lektor på Institut for Samfundsvidenskab på RUC, undersøger Udsyn hvilke konsekvenser denne voldsomme demografiske udvikling vil have for Afrika og vores forhold til kontinentet?

Moore Street – Rising to our FutureThe campaign to save the 1916 Moore Street Battlefield site and those iconic buildings and streetscape that are forever linked to the most important historic event in modern Irish history has reached another potentially decisive moment.In May, An Taoiseach Simon Harris announced the establishment of “a Taskforce to take a holistic view of the measures required to rejuvenate Dublin City Centre, north and south”. The stated objective is to make Dublin City Centre “a more thriving, attractive, and safe cityscape; and a desirable location to live, work, do business and visit.” The Taskforce is expected to report this month (August).International solidarity needed to end Israel's genocidal warBy the end of this week more than 40,000 people, mostly children and women, will have been slaughtered by Israel in the Gaza Strip.  The Strip has been reduced to rubble and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been left without shelter, food, clean water and sanitation. This is an Israeli made humanitarian disaster.Day after day courageous journalists living under constant threat from Israeli snipers, drones and bombs continue to report Israel's targeted bombing of refugees;  the massacre of families living in tents; and of children starving because Israel is preventing food and medical aid from entering Gaza. In recent days Israeli soldiers deliberately destroyed a water treatment plant in the Tel Sultan neighbourhood of Rafah and an MRI machine at the Turkish hospital in Gaza. This is genocide.Féile ArisIt is Féile An Phobail time again. Well done to Kevin Gamble and all the Féile team for once again bringing us a truly outstanding Féile programme. There was a time, now receding in memory for many people and never in the memory of countless more who weren't born in those troubled times, when August,  and the anniversary of Internment, was marked by incursions of British troops and RUC into republican neighbourhoods and  days of rioting and deaths and injuries.Féile An Phobail has replaced all that. It started following the killing in Gibraltar of three local people, IRA Volunteers Dan McCann, Seán Savage and Mairead Farrell at the behest of Margaret Thatcher in March 1988 and the deaths of others at their funerals. Our community was demonised in a tsunami of invective by the establishment media and our political opponents. Féile was a communal response to that.

I gamle dage gik vi måske i biografen én gang om måneden - nu indtager vi hele sæsoner af serier, liggende i vores senge, mens vi som en form for børneherskere vurderer, om vi bliver underholdt hurtigt og effektivt nok. Vi har for længst vænnet os til, at musik stort set intet koster, og de seneste år er lydbogen slået igennem og er nu ved at udkonkurrere den fysiske bog. Problemet er bare, at som med alle de andre streamingprodukter er lydbøgerne så billige, at forfatterne stort set ingen betaling får. I dagens Udsyn diskuterer vi med lektor på RUC og ekspert i streaming, Rasmus Rex Pedersen, om vi er ved at nå en grænse for, hvor billige kulturprodukter kan blive, uden at hele det kulturelle økosystem kollapser.

Interview from Emerald Coast Conference in Sandestin, FL, talking with Dr. John Proctor about emergency physician billing, reimbursement, and advocacy. The advocacy of ACEP and the RUC are key to maintaining a viable financial environment in EM.

For a full transcript of this episode, click here. “Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation.” That's a quote by Edward R. Murrow and very apropos. I started thinking about this conversation that I had had with Brian Klepper, PhD, because so much going on right now—so many discussions and dissections taking place about primary care financial struggles, about what is value in healthcare. And the RUC (Relative Value Scale Update Committee) is, at a minimum, an underlying factor; but yet it doesn't come up. Almost ever. Merrill Goozner called the RUC the AMA's (American Medical Association's) “dark secret,” and I can see why. Just one procedural note before I roll tape with Brian Klepper. We're gonna go a little rogue today because you kind of got to understand what the RUC is before I can get into the two points I really want to make about it. So, here's my outrageous plan, which will shake up our standard Relentless Health Value format. Today, I'm gonna make the points I want to make after the interview, not before, like usual. I will, however, just mention the two points so you can keep them in mind as I talk with Brian. Here's the first point, and it's about the doomed financials of primary care. Why is it that primary care has a lot of times no business model unless part of the business model includes driving profitable downstream utilization? And when I say utilization, do I mean services with bigger RVUs (relative value units)? Why, yes, I think I do. We'll dig into this later. Here's my second point, and it's my view on the nature of any postulations that the “value of healthcare services” is equivalent to the prices that we pay for said services. Again, more on that later, but here is my original conversation with Brian Klepper. Brian Klepper is a longtime healthcare analyst and former CEO of the National Business Coalition on Health. Also mentioned in this episode are Merrill Goozner and Elizabeth Mitchell. People who have written about primary care: Scott Conard, MD; Paul Buehrens, MD, FAAFP; Larry McNeely; Primary Care Collaborative; Nisha Mehta, MD; Dan Mendelson; Tony Lin, MD; Juliet Breeze, MD; Raymond Tsai, MD; Linda Brady; Guy Culpepper, MD; David Muhlestein, PhD, JD   You can learn more in this article and on the AMA Web site.   Brian Klepper, PhD, is principal of Worksite Health Advisors and a nationally prominent healthcare analyst and commentator. He speaks, writes, and advises extensively on the management of clinical and financial risk, on high-performance healthcare, and on realizing the potential of primary care. His current focus is on high-performing healthcare organizations that consistently deliver better health outcomes at lower cost than usual approaches in high-value niches and how, integrated with advanced primary care, they can be configured into turnkey comprehensive high-value health plans that can disrupt the status quo.   02:29 What is the RUC? 06:26 Why is primary care not the “easy” specialty? 09:42 What are three low-value things per RUC? 10:33 EP436 with Elizabeth Mitchell. 10:38 What is a root cause of why primary care doesn't get paid more? 12:50 Why doesn't value equal money?   You can learn more in this article and on the AMA Web site.   @bklepper1 discusses #TPA and #primaryhealthcare and #mentalhealth on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #healthcareleadership #healthcaretransformation #healthcareinnovation   Recent past interviews: Click a guest's name for their latest RHV episode!

Have you thought about the evolving role of surgeons in today's complex healthcare environment? The latest BOSS podcast features the inspiring Dr. Frank Opelka, a true leader in the field of surgery. We left residency thinking that we were the leaders of the team. Our jobs told us that our value is in wRVUs. With the rise of AI, the reality is that information will be a leading influence on the team, and without proper understanding and supervision, we could be led with misinformation. From predictive medicine to the value of surgeons in a changing system, Dr. Opelka's expertise sheds light on a whole new dimension of patient care. “Medicine is not getting less complicated over time. It's getting more complicated, because our understanding of the science keeps growing. But our patient complexity is also growing. ” -Dr. Frank Opelka Key Takeaways Gain insights into the evolving landscape of surgery and stay ahead of the curve in healthcare advancements. Discover the importance of transparency in healthcare and how it can positively impact patient outcomes and satisfaction. Learn strategies to help patients attain their goals in care, leading to improved overall well-being and recovery. Explore the benefits of surgeon coaching for professional development and enhancing surgical skills. Uncover the potential of AI in shaping the future of surgery and its impact on patient care and surgical outcomes. About Dr. Frank Opelka Frank Opelka, MD FACS is a recognized expert in healthcare quality and health policy. He is currently the primary consultant having founded Episodes of Care Solutions, LLC. Dr. Opelka is the immediate past medical director for quality and health policy for the American College of Surgeons. He has served the College in various quality and policy roles for over 30 years. His expertise stretches from payment policy to systems design, quality measurement, and includes healthcare informatics. His roles have included an advisory capacity and surgical representative to various health policy and quality committees throughout the Washington DC landscape. He has testified and advised both houses of the US Congress as well as served in an advisory role to four presidential administrations and a long list of federal agencies. Dr. Opelka's early work involved standing up the Relative Value Update Committee, known as the RUC. In his recent work, he has moved away from defining surgeons by RVUs and promotes the value of a surgeon for the many contributions surgeons bring that are outside the boundaries of RVUs. Dr. Opelka served on the Medicare Episode Grouper development project that created open standards for defining surgical episodes of care. He currently serves as the chair of the board of the PACES Center which is the non-profit organization that continues to promote physician-defined episode definitions for use in price transparency. Dr. Opelka is involved in several consultant projects to better align surgical quality to meet the patients needs in finding care, to aid surgeons in driving improvement, and to assisting payers in understanding aligned incentives to reward care. In addition, Dr. Opelka's work in informatics highlights the importance of expertise in a generative AI world of knowledge management. He insists we are on the cusp of a knowledge explosion in healthcare and the importance of specialists to find the "signal" amidst all the "noise" has increasing relevance. It is less about EHRs and registries and more about trusted knowledge. He supports policy efforts to secure knowledge bases that are filtered by experts before seeking generative AI analytics. Finally, Dr. Opelka is an author and public speaker with countless contributions in texts, peer-reviewed journals, editorial staff and policy manuscripts.
