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...

The #HCBiz Show!

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 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?

Building an Innovation Lifecycle Ontology
The #HCBiz Show!

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...
