In this debut episode of Quality Talks With Peggy O'Kane, Founder and President of NCQA, Peggy is joined by Dr. Sachin Jain, CEO of SCAN Group and SCAN Health Plan, to explore a provocative question: Why isn't health care better at getting better?Measuring—Not Missing—What Matters: Anxieties about access and affordability plague everyday people. But quality measurement's focus is elsewhere. Is health care chasing the wrong metrics and missing the big picture? The Complacency Crisis: Sachin says the core issue is a reluctance to embrace real reform, noting the industry's tendency to want improvement without being willing to change fundamental practices. He calls for a bolder approach. Rethinking Medicare & Medicare Advantage: Sachin challenges rosy view of traditional Medicare, and describes how a legal battle over a flawed Medicare Advantage star rating raised questions about how measuring quality affects care. Simplifying for Impact: Sachin proposes focusing on three or four areas, emphasizing patient experience, ease of access and basic care for common conditions. He urges cost transparency, simpler administrative processes and renewed competition.Key Quote:“ If we all just took care of our own part of the ecosystem, we'd get 20, 30% better. But instead, the most industry talking points are about, ‘Hey, we don't get paid enough for what we do.' Everyone who's making money claims that they're losing money on X, Y, or Z lines of business. Everyone complains about regulatory capture, so there's just a bit of having normalized the abnormal. And I think that that's the thing we have to undo if we're going to actually make the kinds of forward progress that we're hoping to make as an industry.”-Sachin Jain, MDTime Stamps:(01:44) Inspired by Our Mentors in Health Care(04:27) How Does Health Care Get Better?(7:28) The Trap of Toxic Positivity (11:34) Misplaced Nostalgia for Traditional Medicare(18:05) The Stars Program Controversy(22:13) Simplifying Health Care MeasurementLinks:Connect with Sachin Learn More About SCANConnect with PeggyLearn More About NCQA

In this episode, Dr. Sachin Jain, CEO of SCAN Group, shares insights into his organization, SCAN Groups's first report showcasing their impact on seniors and the unhoused population, the health plan side of the business, and much more.
The SCAN Group, which offers Medicare Advantage plans along with primary care and other services to older adults, recently released its first-ever Environmental, Social and Governance report. The purpose was to showcase the ways in which the organization is supporting employees, members, patients and communities, and advancing social aims for the company. Among the company's points of pride is its work to address homelessness among older adults, according to Jain. It offers many clinical programs for the older population, including an Independence at Home program. With the release of the MA rate for 2025, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is sending a message that it would like to cut payment to MA plans. The SCAN Group's MA model is different than other MA companies in that it enables providers to actually own the risk themselves. Jain's interest in social justice originated, in part, from his parents who grew up at the time of Indian independence and his early exposure to inequality and racism, he said.Follow us on social media:X (formerly Twitter): @McKHomeCareFacebook: McKnight's Home CareLinkedIn: McKnight's Home CareInstagram: mcknights_homecareFollow SCAN Group on social media:X (formerly Twitter): @SCANHealthPlanLinkedIn: SCANShow contributors:McKnight's Home Care Editor Liza Berger and Sachin Jain, MD, CEO, SCAN Group

On this episode of DGTL Voices, Ed welcomes Dr. Sachin H. Jain, President and CEO, SCAN Group & Health Plan. Together they dig into accepting gifts from vendors, ways to meaningfully improve and disrupt the experience of care, the future of retail and big tech in healthcare, and so much more!
Sachin Jain is setting out to build a very different kind of company—a nationally scaled nonprofit health plan, grounded in Scan's founding story of 1970s community activists seeking a new future of health for vulnerable communities. In the last two years the 4.5 star Medicare plan has announced a merger with Care Oregon, launched verticals focused on delivering health services to people experiencing homelessness and LGBTQ elders, and expanded to new markets. We discuss: What's possible with a longer time horizonHow equity and social drivers are becoming the new hustleWhy healthcare should borrow less from other industriesHow “no margin, no mission” is creating ethical laxityUnfinished business from our time together at ONCSachin calls for a new era of accountable leadership:“We need more ethical leadership in health care. And what I mean by that is we need to make sure that the words on the wall of every healthcare organization, the ethical compass, the values, the mission statements, the vision statements, actually mean something, and that the behaviors of leaders actually align to things. I think we've gotten lost in this glib “no margin, no mission” chatter, that creates this ethical laxity in organizations to begin doing things like aggressively billing their patients, or, you know, going so far as to repossess their assets when they can't pay their bills.”Relevant LinksDr Sachin Jain on Combining SCAN Group and CareOregon: “We're Trying to Build a Very Different Kind of Company”L.A.'s state of emergency on homelessness: How a street medicine team is treating patients in a unique waySCAN launches new Medicare Advantage plan for LGBTQ+ seniorsHow One Health Plan Reduced Disparities in Medication AdherenceAbout Our GuestDr. Sachin Jain has worked in clinical medicine, academia, government, big pharma, and the health insurance industry.

Even before the pandemic began in 2020, the number of health care organizations appointing chief health equity officers had started to grow. Is this a role for 1 person only or do initiatives to tackle health care disparities and other issues begin at a higher level? And how can change really be accomplished so there is a measurable effect on health outcomes? In this episode of Managed Care Cast, we speak with Sachin Jain, MD, MBA, who joined SCAN Group and Health Plan 2 years ago as president and CEO. He discusses an effort, recently described in an article in Harvard Business Review, about how SCAN made 10% of senior managers' annual bonuses dependent on how well the gap in medication adherence among diverse populations was reduced. The former CareMore executive shares why executives at the top of organizations need to champion and lead initiatives to reduce health care disparities and do more than “virtue signaling” on health equity issues.

The Future of Healthcare is shaped by technology but moves at the pace of policy, incentives and culture. Today we look at a panel discussion from August at the Health Evolution Summit. FTA “How do we change the culture of medicine and pick up on what happened in COVID, which is we adopted a new pace of change, a new sense of urgency to respond to a clear and present danger? How do we actually feel the other types of danger that aren't necessarily clear and present to accelerate the pace of change within health care more broadly?” asked Sachin Jain, MD, President & CEO, SCAN Group and Health Plan, during the Health Evolution Summit 2021 in late August. Joining Jain on the stage were Jon Perlin, MD, President of Clinical Operations and Chief Medical Officer, HCA Healthcare, Farzad Mostashari, MD, CEO and Founder, Aledade, and Chris Chen, MD, CEO, ChenMed. “This is a moment that really is disruptive. COVID has forced change. To quote the famous philosopher Yogi Berra, ‘The future ain't what it used to be,'” Perlin said. “That future has been accelerated and there are things that are incremental, but I think COVID forced us to think differently, to really think about a step change in performance.” — What policies and incentives are most important to maintaining the pace of innovation in healthcare? #healthcare #healthIT #cio #chime #cmio #himss https://www.healthevolution.com/insider/what-it-will-take-to-maintain-the-accelerated-pace-of-innovation-in-health-care-post-pandemic/ (https://www.healthevolution.com/insider/what-it-will-take-to-maintain-the-accelerated-pace-of-innovation-in-health-care-post-pandemic/)

Loneliness: It's hurting us. Dr. Sachin Jain, President and CEO of SCAN Group and Health Plan, has been talking about and treating the scourge of loneliness for years. Now he discusses this with Gaurav Rohatgi on the latest episode of *The Resonance Test.* Jain reveals the roots of his obsession: It started with an undergraduate course with Robert Putnam and his book *Bowling Alone,* which “showed us all the importance of social connection to social outcomes.” The dialogue ventures into the world of social media (“We've substituted a lot of community participation with online connection”) and COVID (a friend of Jain's said about the pandemic: "I've spent more time with my son in the last six months than I had in the previous five years of his life”). Jain recalls his Togetherness Program at CareMore, in which “small nudges ultimately translated into fewer admissions and better health outcomes for the people who were part of the program” and covers his recent work at SCAN: “We employ a number of our senior citizen members to make regular outreach phone calls to fellow members.” It's a fascinating and occasionally paradoxical conversion. Jain says that loneliness “is not a complicated problem to solve,” while at the same time maintaining that “This isn't simple work—it's simple on the surface but it's quite meaningful and quite emotionally complicated when you actually dig into it.” We suspect you'll dig it a lot.
