Rushika Fernandopulle founded Iora Health, which was acquired by One Medical and subsequently by Amazon. Could Amazon ever achieve Iora's health equity goals? In this episode we discuss what a "successful" exit looks like for health equity under our current capitalistic structures, and what happens after you exit. In Rushika's latest start up, Liza Health, he is exploring new structures to protect the purpose of his product. Liza Health leverages AI to build power for patients. Building new products is only a start, Rushika shares. We need a movement behind us — we need a revolution from consumers.

Jacob and Nikhil sit down with Dr. Rushika Fernandopulle. Rushika is the former CEO and Co-Founder of Iora Health, a primary care provider centered around value-based care and Medicare that One Medical acquired for $2.1 billion. They discuss why we're still in the second inning of value-based care, intersections of tech and healthcare, what it takes for VBC to succeed, and more. [0:00] Intro[0:29] Early Days of Value-Based Care[2:34] Challenges in Commercial Value-Based Care[5:20] Adapting Care Models for Different Populations[13:08] Medicaid and Long-Term Care Issues[16:30] Big Tech's Foray into Healthcare[20:37] Amazon's Healthcare Strategy[21:09] Challenges in Serving Low-Income Seniors[21:43] Innovative Solutions for Patient Transportation[22:16] The Economics of Healthcare Visits[23:22] Building a Custom EHR System[27:34] The Role of AI in Modern Healthcare[33:17] Future of Primary Care and Policy Implications Out-Of-Pocket: https://www.outofpocket.health/

Twenty years before value-based care became a healthcare buzzword, Rushika Fernandopulle was told he had to choose: be a doctor or join "the dark side" of business. Instead, he chose both – building Iora Health from a bootstrapped startup into a billion-dollar healthcare company. In this candid conversation, Fernandopulle reveals the unconventional journey that helped transform American healthcare, from midnight meetings in Las Vegas speakeasies to breaking every rule in the traditional medical playbook.We cover:

According to a study, the future of primary care in the United States could undergo a major overhaul by 2030, with nontraditional providers like advanced primary care (APC) providers, retailers, and payers expected to capture around 30% of the market. Amid a growing movement towards a more patient-centered approach to primary care, Dr. Rushika Fernandopulle is leading the charge with a model that focuses on relationships rather than transactions. But what does this new model look like, and how can it transform the current healthcare landscape?This question is at the heart of the latest episode of Tuesdays With Morrisey, where host Adam Morrisey sits down with Dr. Fernandopulle to explore the future of primary care. The conversation delves into the limitations of the current system, the principles of a relationship-based model, and the challenges and opportunities in implementing such a change.Key points of discussion include:The need for a shift from a transactional to a relational approach in primary care.The role of team-based care and technology in enhancing patient outcomes.Strategies for patients to advocate for better care and support the evolution of primary care.Dr. Rushika Fernandopulle is a respected figure in the healthcare industry, with a background as an attending physician at the Massachusetts General Hospital, a faculty member at Harvard Medical School, and co-founder of Iora Health. His work has been instrumental in challenging the status quo and pushing for a more humane and effective healthcare system.

In 2004, Dr. Rushika Fernandopulle began to challenge the status quo and create an entirely new model of care delivery that finally put patients at the center of healthcare. Rushika Fernandopulle is the co-founder and former CEO of Iora Health, a value-based primary care group based in Boston that was acquired by One Medical in 2021, where he served as Chief Innovation Officer.

Shurika, ahem Rushika, I'm sorry I had to do the joke, is one of my best friends at Cornell. To be completely honest, I struggled drafting this Bio because I don't know how to describe her. She is interested in SO MANY THINGS. The best I can do is say she's an Engineering student at Cornell with a passion for philosophy, public speaking, debate, games, literature, and pretty much everything under the sun.In this podcast you will learn:How to navigate PKM with ADHDHow to use PKM to boost your relationshipsTips for managing time and energy with ADHDMY FREE ONLINE COURSES:

Cramming in patients, barely having time to eat lunch, spending hours at the end of the day writing notes from visits, and so many billing codes.

Last March, as the pandemic was picking up steam, I had the pleasure to interview a friend and colleague Dr. Rushika Perera, a rising star and Assistant Professor at UCSF. Before our conversation, I had heard about the lysosome but just had some vague notion that it is similar to recycling, an essential service for sure but not one I want to think about everyday. By the end of our interview, I was almost ready to scrap the microbiome and devote my life to becoming a lysosome-ologist. She’s just that convincing and passionate, having clearly found an ideal niche with broad relevance for cancer and other diseases. But that’s not all! Stay tuned for the end where Rushika gives her pro tips for making the successful shift from a bench scientist to leading your own lab.

"They're picked for one thing only which is empathy, being able to connect to another human being." Empathy, connection and humanity are at the core of how Dr. Rushika Fernandopulle is disrupting healthcare, one clinic, one patient at a time. The attributes described by the Co-Founder and CEO of Iora Primary Care are prerequisites to being a Health Coach in any Iora practice, working along side doctors, nurses and an entire team dedicated to each patient. Dr. Fernandopulle literally got sick and tired of delivering healthcare to his patients the same old way, so he threw out the old model and created something new. Eight years later, Iora has more than 700 employees, 48 practices from coast to coast, and is delivering primary care to tens of thousands of patients in 12 cities...and growing. Iora's mission of leading with humanity is right up our alley at Our Voices Matter which is why I couldn't wait to sit down with Rushika to get his backstory.

Everyone can agree that our current healthcare model is broken. But the question is, can we fix it from the inside? or do we need to start from scratch? My next guest, Dr. Rushika Fernandopulle believes in order to best address the looming crisis, we need to reimagine health care from the ground up, and build new primary care models from scratch. He is the founder of Iora Health, a next generation primary care practice designed to restore the humanity in healthcare. In recent weeks, we have seen similar primary care models like Qliance and Turntable Health fold under unsustainable business models. By what makes Iora Health different and successful to date? On this episode, Dr. Fernandopulle will share his secret sauce to success, what he believes is broken in primary care, what the future holds for quality medical care, and the inspirational backstory that led him to start Iora Health.  All this and more on today’s episode. Now, That’s Unusual. About Dr. Rushika Fernandopulle Dr. Rushika Fernandopulle is a practicing physician and co-founder and CEO of Iora Health, a healthcare services firm based in Cambridge MA whose mission is to build a radically new model of primary care to improve quality and service and reduce overall expenditures. In 2012 he was named an Ashoka Global Fellow, and is also a member of the Albert Schweitzer and Salzburg Global Fellowships. He was the first Executive Director of the Harvard Interfaculty Program for Health Systems Improvement, and Managing Director of the Clinical Initiatives Center at the Advisory Board Company. He is co-author or editor of several publications including Health Care Policy, a textbook for physicians and medical students, and Uninsured in America: Life and Death in the Land of Opportunity. He serves on the staff at the Massachusetts General Hospital, on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, and on the boards of Families USA and the Schwartz Center for Compassionate Care. He earned his A.B., M.D., and M.P.P. (Masters in Public Policy) from Harvard University, and completed his clinical training at the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts General Hospital. Key Interview Takeaways Although innovations in technology continue to evolve the healthcare space, the way we deliver care has remained stagnant. Healthcare is a series of fragmented transactions, and outcomes are not the focus. Dr. Fernandopulle’s motivation to tackle this issue came from a colleague’s plea, “Every day, I lose a little piece of my soul.” Most enter the medical profession with the intention of helping people, but the system gets in the way. “Half-ass, incremental change doesn’t work.” Dr. Fernandopulle had the simple insight that starting over was the only approach, and Iora seeks to rebuild healthcare from the ground up, starting with primary care. Dr. Fernandopulle set out to replicate the Southwest Airlines paradigm: Show up in the market, break the rules, and compel others to change in order to keep up. His mission is to transform healthcare by building a different model and demonstrating this new approach for others to follow. Iora operates on the idea that the doctor’s job is to radically empower her patients, giving them the tools to improve and maintain health in a system that keeps learning and adapts quickly. The most difficult part of developing the Iora model was designing the payment system. Dr. Fernandopulle rejects the fee-for-service model, and he sought payers (employers, union trusts, etc.) who were willing to pay for the relationship rather than individual transactions. The Iora system has been cost-effective in terms of patient/team experience, clinical outcomes, cost of care, and economic sustainability. Iora practices have 96-98% retention rates, and they have experienced 40-50% drops in hospitalizations. Behavior change is a slow process. The Iora model invests more money in patients early on, but typically sees big savings in healthcare costs by year three.

Rushika Fernandopulle, CEO of Iora Health, discusses how his desire to fix the "stupid system" that is healthcare led to the creation of Iora health and lets us in on what he believes is the secret to better patient care: empathy. He shares the lessons he has learned as a trailblazing entrepreneur and explains how he sought to turn traditional patient care on its head by transforming a transactional system into one based on relationships. Trevor, Steve, Rushika, and Iora's CFO Dave Fielding work through what it takes to survive in the evolving primary care space, how CMS will shift under the new administration, and where we are today in the value-based care movement that Iora helped pioneer.

Rushika is co-founder and CEO of Iora Health. We interviewed him at the Oliver Wyman Health Innovation Summit held in October, 2015.

Today's guest is Rushika Fernandopule, Co-Founder and CEO of Iora Health. Iora Health is restoring humanity to healthcare by providing a radically different model of primary care built from the ground up.  Iora Health's care model provides extraordinary service to patients to ensure improved health outcomes while also lowering overall plan costs. Our patients enjoy the benefits of better access to care, office and non-office based encounters (e.g. phone, text messages, and email), an accessible and transparent medical record, and robust educational offerings. Our practices, across the U.S., enjoy the benefits of smaller sizes, closer relationships with patients, and the opportunity to lead systemic change in healthcare delivery while working with a true team.
