Rhode Island's largest hospital group, Lifespan, changed its name last June to Brown University Health. The name change and related agreements were billed as a way to improve patient care, medical education and biomedical research in the state. But making headway against Rhode Island's healthcare challenges is more difficult than changing a name. The state suffers from a lack of primary care doctors. Reimbursement rates for Medicaid and Medicare are lower than in neighboring states, putting Rhode Island at a competitive disadvantage. And the Hospital Association of Rhode Island advocacy group warns that Governor Dan McKee's recent budget proposal would hurt hospitals and the patients who rely on them. As president/CEO of Brown University Health, John Fernandez is on the frontline of facing these issues. So can Rhode Island improve healthcare while reducing costs? What is the answer for the state's medical reimbursement problem? And how is the financial outlook for the state's top two hospital groups? This week on Political Roundtable, I'm going in-depth with president/CEO of Brown University Health John Fernandez.

There's hopes New Zealand's efforts to stop smoking don't go up in smoke. The latest New Zealand Health Survey shows daily smoking rates have remained steady over the past year. They were just under 7%, which is down from 13% five years ago. Auckland University health economist Paula Lorgelly told Mike Hosking we might be tripping at the finish line. She says we're seeing more steady drops which could have continued if New Zealand had passed legislation the previous government introduced. However, the survey found that 1 in 4 18-24 year olds are vaping, as Kiwis seemingly replace cigarettes with vapes. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 340B drug pricing program is designed to give hospitals the flexibility to use their savings toward the types of patient care and support that their communities need the most. How does that work for hospitals that decide to use their access to 340B to provide the discounts directly to patients who cannot afford their drugs? Paul Orth, 340B program manager at University Health Kansas City Truman Medical Center, sits down with us to discuss how his health system's direct drug savings program is helping both uninsured and underinsured patients.How the program worksOrth says his system's direct savings program is built into the system that prescribes medication electronically from its clinics and its hospitals' electronic medical records system. When the prescriptions that generate from those visits are sent to a system pharmacy, 340B eligibility codes are attached that allows the pharmacy to know that they are eligible to receive the drugs at the 340B-discounted price plus a dispensing fee.Underinsured patients also benefitOrth says University Health describes its direct savings model as an uninsured program because that describes the key patient population that benefits from receiving the 340B price. But that assistance also is available for underinsured patients who otherwise would be expected to pay more in prescription drug copays than the 340B price. Drugmaker restrictions are a barrierOrth says this program is the difference between patients receiving a needed medication and going without one, which prevents hospital readmissions and emergency department visits. But he also notes that drug company restrictions limiting 340B pricing to a single contract pharmacy are negatively affecting the program, ultimately adding another barrier for access to care. Resources:340B Health Urges HRSA To Block J&J Plan To Replace 340B Discounts With RebatesJ&J Implements 340B Rebate Model Despite HRSA Opposition340B Health Equity Report 2023

Long Covid looks to be impacting more than just our health - but our wallets too.  New research suggests the illness is costing the country $2 billion a year in lost productivity - not including health costs.  The figure comes from analysis across the ditch suggesting it's likely costing Australia 0.5 percent of its GDP.  Auckland University health economist Paula Lorgelly told Mike Hosking it reinforces the need to wear a mask and isolate to stop the spread.  “Let's try and avoid giving it to somebody and therefore lessening the chance of giving somebody what may be a lifelong debilitating illness.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This podcast is sponsored by University Health. Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. Much of this is due to a long history of systemic racism and bias. Studies show that when Black women suffer from severe injuries or pregnancy complications or simply ask for assistance, they are often dismissed or ignored in the health care settings that are designed to care for them. Today we talk with Dr. Traci Johnson and Dr. Tiffany Ruffin from University Health about their efforts to improve these outcomes. Through their program, EleVATE, University Health offers group prenatal care, mental health services, and education for moms-to-be — an initiative that is not only empowering moms but leading to better outcomes.

The turn to a new year is the time to set new goals. And who better to set them with than a person who has achieved a career far beyond many of us ordinary mortals—but has the honesty and humility to reveal where she falls short. Dr. Nicole Fox is Associate Chief Medical Officer, Associate Professor of Surgery, Medical Director of pediatric trauma, and Medical Director of CDI for Cooper University Hospital, a level 1 trauma facility in Camden, NJ. She made for a great guest to kick off season 3 of Off the Record. This was one of my favorite interviews to date, very personal and revealing for the both of us. I keep trying to get Nicole to start her own podcast and if you listen you'll understand why. On the show we discuss: • Nicole's biggest accomplishments of 2023 and progress on the path of Ikigai (a Japanese concept related to finding purpose and reason for being) • Nicole (and my own) process for annual review and goal-setting, both personal and organizational • Striking the balance: Developing goals that challenging and therefore worthwhile, but also reachable/achievable. • Cooper Health's Q1 2024 CDI goal: In-depth department audit, aligning people with interests and strengths. You'll want to hear this. • Making goals “sticky” so they don't fall off Feb. 1 • Failures, getting “smacked upside the head” at age 40 and moving from personal accomplishments to mentoring and growing others as we age • Other tidbits from her interesting life, including the first OTR Spotify playlist entry of 2024 (Willie Nelson makes a first and long-overdue appearance).

Join Dr. Michelle Robin as she invites Mark Hulet from the YMCA of Greater Kansas City to share some lessons and insights he's learned over the course of this year. He'll speak about what it means to reflect and forgive, and why sometimes we can get stuck in a place with relationships by thinking about what should be next – when really it's important to first pause and find gratitude in those relationships. As he prepares to start his 24th year at the YMCA, he'll also explain the impact their nonprofit has had on families' lives in Kansas City this year – and why they couldn't do what they do in the community without their volunteers.  About Today's Guest:  In July 2023, Mark Hulet became the 11th chief executive officer to lead the YMCA of Greater Kansas City since it was founded in 1860. Hulet has served as interim president and CEO from January 1, 2023. Hulet's background includes all aspects of YMCA leadership, philanthropy, operations, and support. He began his YMCA of Greater Kansas City career in 2000 as an executive director of a Y membership center, and has held various positions including chief operating officer, senior vice president of capital assets and risk, and vice president of membership. As interim president and CEO, Hulet successfully launched the current strategic plan to address organizational culture, operational excellence and sustainability as the Y recovers from the pandemic. During the pandemic, Hulet led the reopening of Y centers and programs as chief operating officer, including mobilization of resources and programs to provide childcare for essential workers, combat social isolation for older adults and support vaccine distribution throughout greater Kansas City. Over the years, Hulet has provided operations and philanthropic leadership and established innovative partnerships. Projects have included partnerships for the Y to operate community centers in Platte County and North Kansas City and bringing the University Health primary care clinic to the Linwood YMCA/James B. Nutter, Sr. Community Center. In addition, he led capital projects including the construction of the new Kirk Family YMCA in downtown Kansas City, MO, and the renovations of the Linwood and Atchison Y's as part of the largest capital campaign in the Y's history. A longtime Kansas City resident, Mark has two sons, Keagan and Killian, and three grandchildren, Gracelynn, Raiden, and Ruari.  Mentioned in the Episode:  YMCA of Greater Kansas City  YMCA – find a location around the U.S.  Your Wellness Connection  Volunteer at the YMCA of Greater Kansas City
