Podcasts about utah health care

What is “the promise of precision health”? It was almost the title of this podcast, because our guest today, Vivian Lee, answers that question every day through her work at Verily. As President of Health Platforms, she creates healthcare systems that work with their patients' unique lives. Vivian has also done similar work with the University of Utah Health Care, as the CEO and the Dean of their medical school. Under her tenure, the University of Utah was ranked first across the country in quality and safety. Vivian also sits on the Board of Directors of the Commonwealth fund, and the Board of Trustees of Boston Children's hospital. She's an expert in our healthcare systems, and has a lot of important things to say about the healthcare of the future. Do you have any thoughts? Please email us at hello@rosenmaninstitute.org. We post new episodes every Monday. “The Health Technology Podcast” is produced by Herminio Neto, hosted by Christine Winoto, and engineered by Andrew John Rojek

Never miss another interview! Join Devin here: http://bit.ly/joindevin. The mission of the Your Mark on the World Center is to end extreme poverty, improve health and mitigate climate change. I asked U.S. Senate candidate Jenny Wilson--who faces a daunting challenge in popular Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney--for her take on each of these issues. Poverty: Wilson acknowledged that even here in Utah, many children live in poverty, aren’t sure where their next meal will come from and that chronic homelessness continues in Utah. She asserts that she is in touch with these issues by virtue of her work on the Salt Lake County Council where she dealt directly with issues facing the homeless and other low-income Utahns. Health: After leaving the County Council, Wilson took a job with the University of Utah Health Care system. She has been a vocal advocate for medicaid expansion in Utah, helping to organize a campaign to get a ballot initiative approved for this November. Climate: Wilson acknowledges that there are many climate skeptics in Utah but says such views are out of touch with reality. She promises to advocate for returning the United States to international efforts to reduce carbon emissions and to otherwise protect the environment. She highlights her concern that the current administration will deregulate air quality leaving those living along Utah’s Wasatch Front with dangerously polluted air.

Making that change, and figuring out how to implement it within the existing system, can be difficult. Get some insights from the chief medical quality officer at University at Utah Health Care, Dr. Robert Pendleton, about what he’s doing to change that paradigm.

The Deseret News reports that opposing bills on Medicaid expansion have passed a state Senate committee. Sen. Allen Christensen says that his SB 153 would cover Utahns who earn up to 100% of the federal poverty level and who are medically frail. He says his plan would leave money available for other needy groups. Sen. Brian Shiozawa' SB 164 would implement many elements of Governor Herbert's Healthy Utah plan, which would help provide coverage for those who earn up to 138% of the federal poverty level. Sen. Shiozawa says that Sen. Christensen's plan would not return enough Utah tax dollars from the federal government to the state.
