What if the fastest way to grow your healthcare organization is to slow down? In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott Middleton returns from Scotland straight into the thick of a merger — and what he's learning is reshaping how he thinks about change itself. Scott takes us inside the integration of TCPA and Providence Care into Your Health, where two very different models are colliding. One organization built 640 billing codes last year; the other built 40. One puts a single nurse practitioner in a building with no support; the other surrounds providers with nurses and community health workers. The opportunity is enormous — but so is the risk of moving too fast and scaring everyone away. What if the fastest way to grow your healthcare organization is to slow down?

The opportunity is enormous — but so is the risk of moving too fast and scaring everyone away. In this conversation, Jamie and Scott explore: Why a nurse practitioner alone is a "single source of failure" — and how staffing changes everything How to enter a building without threatening the provider they already love Why billing isn't bureaucracy — it's how Medicare knows you made a difference The art of giving people what they think they need now, and the rest over time Advanced care planning, DNRs, and why the right message sometimes needs a different voice This is a masterclass in change management disguised as a healthcare conversation. Listen now — and rethink what "disruption" really requires.

This episode of Quality Matters examines the growing role of digital wellness and chronic condition management programs and the challenge of measuring what truly matters. Host Rachel Harrington is joined by Peter Robertson of the Purchasing Business Group on Health and California Quality Collaborative and Kevin Masci of Omada Health to discuss how digital health solutions can help address rising healthcare costs, workforce shortages and fragmented care experiences. Peter and Kevin explain why meaningful engagement goes far beyond app downloads and login counts. Instead, successful programs focus on sustained participation, patient-centered goal setting, integration with primary care and measurable improvements in health outcomes. The conversation explores how employers, health plans and providers are evaluating digital solutions through clinical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, utilization measures and value-based contracting arrangements. The guests also discuss one of the most important challenges facing digital health: trust. Privacy, transparency, data security and clear communication about how patient data is collected and used all play critical roles in long-term adoption. The episode concludes with a Patient Voice segment featuring Brandee Hicks, who shares her firsthand experiences using digital health tools, highlighting both the convenience they offer and the ongoing challenges around interoperability, digital literacy and maintaining support after programs end.     Highlights Beyond Logins and Clicks Meaningful engagement isn't about how often patients open an app. It's about helping people achieve their health goals through sustained participation and measurable outcomes. Measuring What Matters Guests discuss the growing use of clinical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, utilization data and value-based contracting to assess digital health program performance. Trust Is Essential Digital health solutions must address concerns around privacy, transparency, data security and how patient information is stored and shared. The Patient Perspective Brandee Hicks shares how digital tools can improve organization, access and self-management while also revealing gaps in continuity, support and interoperability. Looking Ahead The future of digital health depends on better integration with primary care, more personalized engagement strategies and stronger measurement frameworks that prioritize patient outcomes.     Key Quote: "If we're really serious about improving health outcomes, we have to move beyond measuring clicks and logins. The real question is whether people are achieving meaningful progress toward their health goals—and whether these programs are creating lasting value for patients, providers and purchasers alike." — Kevin Masci     Time Stamps: (02:20) Meet Peter Robertson (03:45) Meet Kevin Masci (05:53) Why Digital Solutions Matter (10:01) Care Coordination, Not Care Fragmentation (11:52) Defining Meaningful Patient Engagement (15:07) Why Consistent Measurement Matters (18:32) Measuring Outcomes in Value-Based Contracts (21:12) Data Stratification, Risk Adjustment and Performance Guarantees (27:22) Privacy, Trust and Transparency in Digital Health (30:44) The Future of Digital Wellness and Chronic Care Management (35:08) Patient Voice: Brandee Hicks (40:25) Patient Challenges, Access and Continuity of Care (45:23) Key Takeaways and Closing Thoughts     Dive Deeper: Connect with Peter Robertson Connect with Kevin Masci Connect with Brandee Hicks Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Statistically speaking, men are less likely to seek care, both for prevention and treatment. This applies to physical health and mental/behavioral health. In recent years, this discrepancy has led to a widening gap in life expectancy between men and women. We discussed these differences, the importance of care for men, and even dived into some trends with Dr. Kelly Ruel, Sr. Medical Director for Aetna/CVS Health.  To learn more about topics discussed in today's episode, please visit:AFSPA Events - https://www.afspa.org/eventsFSBP Preventive Care, Virtual Care, and Wellness Programs - https://www.afspa.org/fsbp/wellness-programs/

It was 3 o'clock in the morning when Scott Middleton finally signed the papers. The merger was official. And within days, he was already on the road — visiting facilities, riding along with providers, and spotting the same gap everywhere he went: brilliant clinicians doing real work that was completely invisible to the system. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Jamie sits down with Scott Middleton, calling in from Boston, to unpack what he's discovering on the ground in the newly merged Your Health organization — and why tracking your time isn't about paperwork. It's about protection, proof, and getting paid for every minute of care you're already delivering. What you'll hear in this episode: The Dr. Jeeve story: a high-producing doc who managed a nursing home crisis by phone, saved a patient from an unnecessary ER visit — and never billed for it, leaving Medicare with no record of his intervention Why not documenting a visit before a hospitalization doesn't just cost you revenue — it makes you look like a bad provider, even when you did everything right How insurance companies like United Healthcare boldly take 15% off the top of every healthcare dollar — and why that math means providers can't afford to give their time away for free The TCPA pattern Scott keeps seeing: 15,000–18,000 visits a month, almost entirely in nursing homes, with zero follow-up once patients go home The new post-discharge standard: every patient leaving a nursing home gets a telehealth visit within 48 hours, then weekly follow-up for four weeks — no one gets left in the gap This episode is a masterclass in understanding that documentation isn't bureaucracy — it's how you tell your story, protect your reputation, and keep the care you've already given from disappearing. www.YourHealth.Org

Love the podcast? Send us a text!What does it really mean to support your body during and after breast cancer treatment?In this episode I am joined by returning guest Dr. Amy Comander and Meg McSherry, a breast cancer patient under Dr. Comander's care, for a thoughtful conversation about lifestyle medicine and breast cancer survivorship. Together, we explore the very real physical and emotional toll of treatment, including fatigue, weight gain, loss of taste, joint pain, hot flashes, sleep disruption, and the fear of recurrence. Dr. Comander explains how lifestyle medicine offers an evidence-based, whole-person approach to survivorship, grounded in six key pillars: physical activity, nutrition, restorative sleep, social connection, stress resilience, and reducing risky substances. She also shares how questions from patients led her to create the PAVING the Path to Wellness Program, now offered in group format to support breast cancer survivors with trusted, practical guidance. Meg offers an honest patient perspective on going through intensive HER2-positive breast cancer treatment, how hard it was to focus on nutrition and movement in the middle of chemotherapy, and how the PAVING program helped her feel more empowered as she moved toward survivorship.You do not have to do everything perfectly to support your health after a breast cancer diagnosis. This episode is a reminder that survivorship is not about perfection. It is about rebuilding with evidence-based tools, compassion, and community.Resources: Paving the Path to Wellnesshttps://www.pavingwellness.org/Support the showLatest News: Become a Breast Cancer Conversations+ Member!

If your online wellness program isn't selling, the problem probably isn't your credentials, pricing, or niche.It's your messaging.Most wellness practitioners — physical therapists, yoga teachers, massage therapists, health coaches, and holistic providers — are unknowingly marketing in practitioner language instead of client language.You're explaining your methodology.Your modules.Your certifications.But your clients aren't buying your framework.They're buying relief, clarity, energy, strength, confidence, and results.In this episode, I break down why your messaging isn't converting — and how to fix it so your online wellness program actually sells.If you've been wondering:Why your content gets engagement but not salesWhy discovery calls don't convert consistentlyWhy people say “this sounds amazing” but don't enrollWhy you feel like you're explaining yourself all the timeThis episode will help you shift from practitioner-first language to client-centered messaging that converts.In This Episode, You'll Learn:The real reason your online wellness program isn't sellingThe difference between practitioner language and client language (with real examples)Why clients buy outcomes — not credentialsHow to reframe your program description from the client's perspectiveThe simple messaging test to know if your copy will convertWhy clarity is leadership — not “dumbing down” your workPractical ways to collect and use client language in your marketing immediatelyYour expertise isn't the issue.Your translation is.When you learn how to communicate your work in language your client already understands, selling becomes simpler, cleaner, and more consistent.Important Links:Follow me on Instagram →  igniteyourwellnessbusinessReady to work with me?

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Amy Comander on The Breast Cancer Podcast 

Most wellness programs weren't built with parents in mind. Gym memberships and meditation apps don't help much when you're managing work deadlines while your kid is home sick. Or when you know your toddler can't wait for you to pick them up from daycare.Dr. Rosina McAlpine is back to talk about what actually works when organizations want to support working parents—not with token gestures, but with programs that address the real challenges.We discuss why working parents have the highest burnout and lowest mental health scores across the workforce, what family-friendly workplaces are doing differently, and how to measure whether any of it is making a difference.We also get into the equity vs equality question. It's not one we think about in this context, but it does work. After all, what we need is a workplace where everyone is able to thrive. * Dr. Rosina's 5-Point Guide*https://www.winwinparenting.com/closing-the-gap-in-parent-support-guide*Contact Dr. Rosina McAlpine*https://winwinparenting.com/https://drrosina.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/drrosina/*Contact Andrea Adams*https://thehrhub.cahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-adams1/

In this episode of Your Health University, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jimmie Williamson, Chief Behavioral Health Officer at Your Health, to break down why behavioral health belongs inside primary care—not outside it. Jimmie explains how telehealth lowered stigma, how mental health diagnoses (“F codes”) often correlate with frequent ER use, and why Your Health moved from intuition to data-driven referral models using tools like Power BI. They also map the full behavioral health ecosystem—from psych nurse practitioners to therapists to the psych pharmacist—and clarify when and how teams should refer patients for the right level of support. The takeaway is simple: earlier behavioral health intervention can improve lives, reduce hospital visits, and strengthen value-based care outcomes system-wide. www.YourHealth.Org

This year I have been highlighting some of local areas in the U.S. where people with Parkinson's take classes designed for their needs, provide social support, and community. It is truly magical to have this kind of central location just focused on your needs as a person with Parkinson's. Just last month we highlighted Parkinson's Body & Mind in Connecticut. They have done and continue to provide spaces where PWP can gather for exercise, wellness and community programs – all for free.  If you didn't listen to that episode, check it out soon. In this episode, we talk with the co-founders of InMotion, which offers community-based wellness programs for people with Parkinson's disease. They provide this service free of charge in the greater Cleveland area and online. They talk about giving People with Parkinson's the "power to change the script "and to "feel better every day." This is a true success story, and they continue to learn and grow.  Learn more by listening to this conversation with Dr. Karen Jaffe and Ben Rossi of In Motion. How might you form a similar organization in your part of the country to provide valuable wellness programs and a greater sense of community?

Why is financial wellness such a universally agreed-upon priority yet so painfully hard to deliver in practice? In this episode, I sit down with Jason Lee—founder of DailyPay, Salt Labs, and now Chief of Chime Enterprise—to break down why employees don't engage with financial programs, why saving feels like the world's most boring habit, and what it takes to design benefits that people actually use.Jason lays out why most employer programs are stuck in the 1980s, why rewards points sometimes function better than savings accounts, and why the best financial wellness programs should look less like coupon clubs and more like full-service hospitals—ER, diagnostics, and rehab floors included. We also explore how brand trust, design simplicity, and modern tech will shape the next generation of employee financial benefits.Related Links:Join the People Managing People community forumSubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Jason on LinkedInCheck out Chime EnterpriseSupport the show

Send us your desired health topic or guest suggestionsWhat if the secret to living longer isn't found in cutting-edge technology, but in the decisions you make every day? Dr. William Bruno's journey from conventional plastic surgeon to longevity advocate began with a shocking discovery: despite passing standard cardiac tests, he had established heart disease at age 49. This revelation transformed not just his personal health approach but his entire medical practice.Dr. Bruno pulls back the curtain on the medical tests that could save your life—but that most doctors won't offer - along with other proactive measures that form his "longevity pyramid," a framework that prioritizes foundational habits over trendy interventions.The conversation reveals three powerful longevity metrics that predict lifespan better than chronological age:  Moving from poor to even average scores in these metrics can dramatically reduce mortality risk—by as much as 40-50% in some cases. Most importantly, these are factors we can improve at any age through consistent habits.Beyond the science, Dr. Bruno offers immediately actionable advice. His message is ultimately empowering: approximately 80-90% of longevity factors are within our control. The path to a longer, healthier life isn't found in a pill or procedure—it's built through the small decisions we make every day.You can find Dr. William Bruno at:Wellness Program - https://www.williambrunomd.com/procedures/wellness-program/Website -https://www.williambrunomd.com/ Please Follow and Review this podcast if you would like to support the growth of this show.

Postpartum is hard and so is sleep deprivation….and you get a nice helping of both after you have a baby. Some well-meaning people might recommend you work on sleep training your baby early so that you can get back to getting normal amounts of sleep quicker. But is this a good idea? Does it even work? That's the topic of this episode. Specifically, I address co-sleeping and how that might be the solution to the sleep deprivation problem.   Helpful Links: — BIBLE STUDY - FREE Bible Study Course - How To Be Sure Of Your Salvation - https://the-ruffled-mango-school.teachable.com/p/how-to-be-sure-of-your-salvation   -- COACHING - If you're tired of shallow, cheap, meaningless connections in pregnancy that leave you feeling passed over and confused, The REAL DEAL Transformative Coaching might be for you.

SHOW NOTES: Many women who want to labor naturally want to know if waterbirth is a safe option for them.

SHOW NOTES: A lot of midwives and doctors will tell you on the front end that they are supportive of natural birth, but how can you tell for sure? It is not a good feeling to get to the end of the third trimester only to find out they've pulled a "bait and switch" on you and they're really not all that supportive of your birth plan or birth preferences. The best way to know for sure is to take the time early in pregnancy to do your due diligence by asking some well thought out questions and then listening well to HOW they answer.  This episode takes you through the process so that you'll have a good chance of choosing a practitioner who truly supports the type of birth you want.   Here's the list of possible interview questions for when you go to a meet and greet appointment with a midwife or doctor: https://go.yourbirthgodsway.com/blog/interviewquestions     Helpful Links: — BIBLE STUDY - FREE Bible Study Course - How To Be Sure Of Your Salvation - https://the-ruffled-mango-school.teachable.com/p/how-to-be-sure-of-your-salvation   — CHRISTIAN CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION - Sign up HERE for the Your Birth, God's Way Online Christian Childbirth Course!
