Medicaid Transformation: Past, Present, and Future with Alan Weil of Health Affairs
The #HCBiz Show!
Medicaid Transformation. 1115 waivers. Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) programs. Expansion. Contraction. We’ve been at this for a long time. Why isn’t Medicaid transformed already? Well… it turns out that this is really difficult work. First off, there are complex political and ideological issues. Even if we all agree that we want the best healthcare for every American – a conceptually easy outcome to rally behind – we don’t all agree on what that looks like, how to get there, or how to pay for it. Second, it takes a long time for policy levers to play out in the...

Should Patients Be Charged for Messages to their Doctors?
The #HCBiz Show!
Cleveland Clinic recently announced that they would begin . This flies in the face of everything the industry is talking about when it comes to patient engagement and value-based care. At the same time, it is quite unreasonable to think that a doctor should be available for questions at any time, for free. How can we protect the clinicians' time AND provide the patients with the care and attention they need? And why are we moving away from value-based care? Craig Joseph, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Nordic Consulting Partners, and Matt Lambert, MD, Chief Medical Officer for Curation...

Take it All With a Grain of Salt
The #HCBiz Show!
Don and Shahid discuss NCQA's Health Innovation Summit (November 2022) and FHIR Dev Days (June 2022). They explore these events as examples of how to interpret what you hear at conferences, in industry media, and even on podcasts like this. The discussion covers a lot of ground including: What is NCQA? What is HEDIS? What does it mean to move from Electronic Clinical Quality measures (ECQM) to Digital Quality Measures (DQM)? Can FHIR really do all that!? Specified, but not implemented (this is important) Why is it hard to innovate and sell innovations in the quality measure space? How...

Can I Buy You Lunch (and tell you about my product)?
The #HCBiz Show!
Some people tell doctors that anything more than a cup of coffee is a conflict of interest. What about executives? Is it ok to take them out to lunch? What about a trip to the Super Bowl? Is there a line? Where is it? On this episode, Don and Shahid discuss a recent LinkedIn discussion where a healthcare executive called shenanigans on himself and his colleagues for accepting gifts. The gift is a symptom... not the underlying issue. Tune in to find out what the issue is and how to fix it. Plus, learn why Don hates RFPs and how we can do those better too.

Building an Innovation Lifecycle Ontology
The #HCBiz Show!
It's easy to experiment with new tech and produce products that look and sound innovative. It's much harder to tie your innovation efforts to strategic objectives with measurable outcomes and then scale the solution across your organization. The former leads to "death by pilot". The latter makes a difference in people's lives. We need a more disciplined approach to innovation if we want to make a difference. In this episode (Ep. 201) we introduce the concept of the Healthcare Delivery Organization Innovation Lifecycle Ontology or HDO-ILO. That's a fancy way of saying that we are attempting to...

Putting Ambient Intelligence into the Clinical Workflow at Scale with Peter Durlach
The #HCBiz Show!
There’s no shortage of development when it comes to AI and ML in healthcare. The technology is already powerful and continues to advance. The challenge, as always, is getting things into the clinical workflow. And doing so at scale. Nuance has a plan to help innovators and health delivery organizations find alignment and get the right tools integrated into the clinical workflow quickly. Nuance started with ambient intelligence in the sensory realm. In computing, refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. Today, Nuance’s Dragon...
info_outlineThe CMS Patient Access Rules are coming. And they’re easy to cheer for. We’re giving patients their data and that’s a huge win! We all love that!
But what we don’t love is when FraudulentHealthcareApp.com collects patient data and sells it to the highest bidder to support targeted marketing, or whatever other nefarious act they can come up with. Well, the health plans don’t get to pick and choose which apps they connect to. What if their member wants to use FraudulentHealthcareApp.com? What’s their recourse? How can they educate and protect their members?
On this episode, we’re sharing another of Shahid’s recent panels. This one from Health Data Unbound, and it’s like an #HCBiz super panel as we’ve had all 4 of the panelists on the show in the past. The panel asks the question: “How Will Patients Securely Connect 3rd Party Apps To Their Data Once Patient Access Rules Kick In?” And they will be kicking in on July 1st of this year (2021).
Shahid Shah is our moderator, and he’s talking with:
- Andrew Adrian-Karlin, Director of Business Platform-Product, Highmark Health (Episode #148: Partnering with Payers)
- Gunjan Siroya, Principal Partner & Sr. Vice President, Netspective (Episode #69: An Open Source Industry Platform for Provider Directory)
- Ron Urwongse, Director of Strategy and Innovation, CAQH (Episode #13: Are We Asking Providers the Wrong Questions?)
They cover this core question and discuss the tools and frameworks health plans can use to protect their members and themselves.
And then, as he always does, Shahid asks the most important question. Is this going to make a difference for the patients/members? Will it help them pick a health plan? Will it help them find out if their doctor is covered? Their meds? Will it help them better understand how much things are going to cost them out of pocket? Because if not, what the hell is the point?
It’s easy to get caught up in the implementation, especially when you’re dealing with regulatory requirements. Question 1 is naturally… how do we meet the regs so we don’t have a problem? That, as Shahid puts it, is institution first thinking. The smart health plans… the member-centric health plans are asking, how are we going to use this to make things better for our members?
It’s a great discussion. You’re going to love it and I’m so happy we get to share it with you.
On that note, thank you to Satish Kavirajan, Managing Director at the Actionable Intelligence Network (AIN) for letting us share this with you!

The Health Data Unbound Virtual Conference: Innovations in Health Data Sharing for the COVID-19 Era and Beyond, hosted by Actionable Intelligence Network, was held on November 10-12, 2020, and is now an on-demand event. While there have been many events on interoperability and data sharing, what’s unique here is the focus on the BUSINESS rationale for health data sharing. The conference focuses on the emergent need for interoperability of all kinds, implementation of appropriate sharing of patient information, high priority use cases, value propositions, and companies with enabling technologies, business models, and strategies.
