Dr. Harlan Levine began his career practicing internal medicine but soon moved into business leadership roles at national healthcare organizations to help improve the dysfunction with payer-provider relationships that he experienced firsthand as a physician.At United Health Group, Dr. Levine joined as clinical lead of the team that launched Optum, where he subsequently served as chief medical officer for more than six years. He also led the health management practice at Towers Watson and served as executive vice president of comprehensive health solutions at WellPoint, among other roles.In 2013, Dr. Levine joined City of Hope, one of the country's largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations. City of Hope's uniquely integrated model spans cancer care, research and development, academics and training, and a broad philanthropy program that powers its work. City of Hope's growing national system includes its Los Angeles campus, a network of clinical care locations across Southern California, a new cancer center in Orange County, California, and cancer treatment centers and outpatient facilities in the Atlanta, Chicago and Phoenix areas.In addition to currently serving as president of health innovation and policy at City of Hope, Dr. Levine is also chair of the board of AccessHope. A spinout from City of Hope, AccessHope partners with the nation's most prestigious cancer research centers to help make leading-edge cancer care available to all, regardless of geographical location.Dr. Levine joined Keith Figlioli for the second episode of a Healthcare is Hard series exploring opportunities in oncology. Some of the topics they discussed include:Community practice vs. academic medical centers. Delivering personalized care and giving patients access to cutting-edge treatment is equally important, yet historically difficult to balance. In the first episode of this series, Dr. Stephen Schleicher from Tennessee Oncology shared how one of the nation's most successful community oncology practices is tackling the challenge. In this episode, Dr. Levine discussed City of Hope's model of putting academic research at the center and connecting it with community practices. He described how City of Hope is changing the direction of cancer care – not just delivering it – by giving patients faster access to emerging science.Defining value in oncology. Dr. Levine calls himself an outlier when it comes to value-based care in oncology because he thinks the industry missed a critical first step – defining what the term means. In most circumstances, discussions around value are centered around reducing cost. But Dr. Levine points out that a cancer patient defines value very differently. They define it as survival. They think about whether or not they returned to normal functionality in normal life, and what their experience was through the entire treatment process. He says the industry needs to recognize and customize models for these unique aspects of cancer care before the term VBC should be used in oncology.AI in oncology. Dr. Levine shared his outlook for the many ways artificial intelligence will change oncology – from drug discovery to care delivery. He believes AI will completely disrupt the approach to cancer care and that the revolution will happen quickly – not in seven to 10 years, but in three to five. He talked about the ways he sees AI changing how doctors deliver care, and why he's even more optimistic about its ability to accelerate research.To hear Dr. Levine and Keith discuss these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.

DeJuan Marrero meets with Tom Lemmen, President, and Scott Bradshaw, Owner, of WellPoint Wellness Center in Northwest Indiana to discuss their new venture in the area, the significance of being proactive about one's health, the motivation behind establishing WellPoint Wellness Center, and much more.
In 1965, a mail-order veterinary supplies business named UPCO was founded in San Diego, California. By 1979, it became Petco, and in 1980, the first Petco store located outside of California opened in Tigard, Oregon. Petco's significant growth began in the late 1980s after acquiring two pet supply chains, WellPoint and the Pet Department. The purchase not only expanded the footprint of the company but more than tripled the brand's store number from 40 to 130. In the early 1990s, Petco opened its first East Coast stores, and by 2001, Petco.com was launched. In 2013, the company opened its first Petco stores in Mexico, with one in Mexico City and another one in Guadalajara. Today, Petco is a successful pet health and wellness company, reflecting nearly six decades of providing thoughtful customer service to “pet parents” and their beloved pets. The brand has created an environment in which customer loyalty is built through the emotional connections nurtured by in-store employees. Mark Johnson, CEO of Loyalty360, spoke with Justin Tichy, Chief Operating Officer for Petco, about growing into a health and wellness company, building emotional loyalty with pet parents, and fostering an environment of engaged employees.

Almost everything about how marketing is done today, including the very notion of a brand itself, will require a complete re-imagination. Raja shares the forward-thinking ways all businesses must rethink their entire marketing landscape to remain relevant and be successful.

Retailers, providers, and payers are exploring the tradeoffs of different models for expanding into healthcare, from partnering to investing to build out independent outpatient health centers. Collaboration amongst payers, providers, and retailers may drive cost and care benefits for consumers while increasing health equity amongst disadvantaged populations. Near-term policy changes on allowing lower level healthcare practitioners to administer care currently dispensed by doctors as well as insurers considering maintaining pay parity for in-person and remote services should persist after COVID.

Episode #57 What an honor to have Andrew Ecker on the Podcast. After a proper introduction (by Andrew) I listen to him talk about native American history, traditions, honoring the Earth Mother, growing up in America and learning to heal from a childhood filled with challenges. From his website: https://thesacredseven.com Andrew Ecker, author of the ‘The Sacred 7’ Apache “NDE”, Irish and German American. Born into an inheritance of trauma, both his parents were addicted to drugs and died very young. Mom, Kathy Lindsey, died from a cocaine overdose whereas Father, Dale Ecker, from HepC caused from intravenous drug use. Growing up in the height of the Reagan and Clinton “War on Drugs” policies led Andrew down a path of destruction that included cocaine and heroin abuse until he made a decision to change his life while serving 3.5 years in federal prison for drug charges. Andrew found healing in his life through the use of ancient technologies including drumming and a ceremonial introduction process of his Native American ancestry he outlines in his book ‘The Sacred 7’. Andrew has been able to, in over 25 years of effort, facilitate over 4000 meaningful wellness with a focus on suicide prevention, substance abuse, individual and community development. This massive volume of work has allowed Andrew the honor of working with very diverse groups of people including tribal nations, schools, governmental organizations, churches, nonprofits, businesses, festivals, hospitals and drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Some of these groups include The Havasupai Nation, The Navajo Nation, The Hopi Nation, The Pascua Yaqui Nation, The Gila River Indian Community, The Tohono O’odham Nation, Patina Wellness Center, Native American Connections, Inter-Tribal Council of Nevada, NACA: Native Americans For Community Action, United States Veterans Administration, City of Phoenix, Maricopa County Public Health, United Health Care, Wellpoint , Buena Vista Recovery , Charles Schwab, Bain Consulting, Exp Realty, Cancer Treatment Centers of American, Credit Union Development and Education and many many more.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anyone developing a career in marketing, anyone seeking to understand how rapidly marketing is evolving, and anyone wanting to know how to get ready for this dramatic shift. TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… Raja shares his own journey as well as his insight on how technology has continually evolved in the last several decades and how marketing has had to change with it, evolving through four significant stages. What happens next in the fifth stage, or Fifth Paradigm as he puts it, will not be an evolution, but a revolution. Almost everything about how marketing is done today, including the very notion of a brand itself, will require a complete re-imagination. Raja shares the forward-thinking ways all businesses must rethink their entire marketing landscape to remain relevant and be successful. WHAT I LOVE MOST… Raja’s assertion that trust will be one of the biggest differentiators between brands, and that the key to trust will be to demonstrate your purpose and belief in it, and then boldly and consistently act with purpose to earn that trust!

Bill Myers Inspires 19 States along with numerous cities and counties in America have declared Racism as a public health crisis. How does racism affect public health? Why is racism now a public health crisis? Has racism always been a public health crisis? Dr. Woody Myers is the 2020 candidate for Governor of Indiana. A third-generation Hoosier, he is also a physician, former Indiana State Health Commissioner, business owner, husband, father, and grandfather. An Indianapolis native, Woody is a proud product of Indianapolis public schools and a graduate of Shortridge High School. He completed his undergraduate studies at Stanford University and went on to earn his medical degree from Harvard University at age 23 and a Master of Business Administration from Stanford University. Throughout his remarkable career, Woody addressed important problems with every organization he has led, generating real results and leaving each of them stronger and ready for the challenges ahead. Early in his medical career he worked as an emergency room physician and teacher at the Indiana University School of Medicine. As a young doctor, he saw first-hand the impact that disparity of income has on health outcomes. Patients with the best health insurance often received the best health care, while others did not and has spent his career fighting to change it. At the age of 30, Woody was the youngest to serve as Indiana State Health Commissioner and held his appointment under both Democratic (Evan Bayh) and Republican (Bob Orr) administrations. As Health Commissioner, Woody effectively led over 2,800 employees, oversaw five state institutions and worked every day to improve maternal and child health, chronic disease control, childhood immunization, and preventive health care services. During his tenure, Woody helped make Indiana a leader in AIDS education and gained national recognition when he fought to keep Ryan White – a teenager with AIDS – in school when his school district banned him following his diagnosis. In addition to being a doctor, Woody is a small business owner who has advised nonprofits and large health care companies on improving their products and services for the benefit of patients. Over his career, Woody served as the medical director for Indiana's largest health care company, and as chief health care officer for Ford Motor Company – where he worked with union officials to develop safety programs and high-quality, comprehensive health care benefits. Under Woody's leadership as the chief medical officer at WellPoint, Inc. he led the nation in measuring and improving the quality of health care for workers and their families. As a nationally recognized and accomplished leader in public health, Woody is uniquely qualified to lead Indiana in its fight to improve access to affordable, quality health care and to reduce prescription drug costs. Woody lives in Indianapolis with his wife Stacy. Together, they have five children and two grandchildren. Join Woody to make a brighter future for all Indiana. claudia@drwoodymyers.com. https://drwoodymyers.com ~ More About Bill Myers Inspires ~ Emmy Award-winning actor Bill Myers is an accomplished actor, jazz musician, filmmaker, writer, educator, and speaker.

Listen as Leonard D. Schaeffer, founding chairman and CEO of WellPoint and RAND’s 2014 Williams Laureate, discusses the effects of the Affordable Care Act.
In its quest to transform 70 to 80 percent of its physician practices to a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) over the next three years, WellPoint has adopted a "meet the practices where they are" philosophy, reports Julie Schilz, director of care delivery transformation for WellPoint. Each practice is at a different place in the transformation effort and requires specialized supports, she adds. Smoothing the transformation rollout is the simultaneous participation of 500 WellPoint practices in CMS's Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) program, whose goals dovetail with key PCMH principles --- as though WellPoint had another partner in its transformation initiative, Schilz notes. Just as important as practice support is transparency with health plan members, Schilz adds, especially when it comes to explaining the concept of the medical home neighborhood --- where care coordination is a collaboration between primary care and the specialist. Ms. Schilz shared the key features of WellPoint's transformation initiative, including results from its pilot program that have led to a system-wide rollout, during an October 24, 2013 webinar, "Aligning Value-Based Reimbursement with Physician Practice Transformation."

Hackers turned to Twitter to wreak havoc during preparations for the 9/11 ceremonies this weekend. They allegedly hacked into the NBC News account and posted false messages about a new attack on New York’s ground zero. It beat out some of the top thinkers in the world at Jeopardy. Now, IBM’s Watson computer has a pretty neat job to add to its resume. The company will work with WellPoint to bring Watson technology to the healthcare sector. The cyber world isn’t just about hacking into other people’s computers and shutting down networks. It can actually be used for very good causes like finding a long lost son.

Angela F. Braly, President and Chief Executive Officer of WellPoint, Inc, Healthcare Reform (September 2009)
Did you make more money in 2009 than in any other year of your life? I doubt it! In these financial times, most American's would have to say, "No." Most companies had problems in 2009, and some large corporations and banks even had to be bailed out by the government. Well, in today's podcast I present information from an article that came across my computer that shows how 4 out of the 5 major health insurance companies made more money in 2009 than the year before. The one company that did not make more money still profited quite nicely. It seems clear to me that these companies are not out to protect the public's needs. They sell themselves as being there to help the public, but, in reality they are like any other company that is oriented toward making a profit for their stock holders and CEO's. Regardless of your position on the question of universal health insurance in America, this information should make you question if health insurance companies need to be better regulated and whether these companies need to be investigated for their practices. Listen and you decide.
