This episode of PopHealth Week features Caitlin Donovan, Global Head of Uber Health. The Uber Health platform helps improve patient care by enabling healthcare organizations to arrange rides and services on behalf of others by using a centralized, easy-to-use dashboard or an API. We discuss their role in the healthcare industry, being a new player that brings innovative solutions to address patients’ needs with the technical processes they already know and manage well. Just like their well-known service, Uber Health counts on independent earners that can transport patients or deliver medications to them, an option that can benefit people like seniors, patients with complex chronic conditions, and employees who work for self-insured employers. Caitlin discusses Uber Health’s approach to overcoming care barriers and addressing patients’ social determinants of health by designing benefits for them and aligning incentives across healthcare. She also speaks about the three different ways they help employers facilitate access to care for their employees, and why it’s important to scale solutions while still meeting individual needs.

On today's episode of PopHealth Week, Fred and Gregg's guests are:Caitlin Donovon, Global Head, Uber Health, Rick Leach, JD, an Expert in Food Security and Public Health, Founder and former CEO, World Food Program, USA and current Chairman of the Food as Medicine Board at Avesis, LLC, and Benny DiCecca, CEO and President, Validation Institute. We discuss the role of certification of programs from an impact and efficacy point of view.

There’s an unspoken assumption when you go to see a doctor: the doctor knows your medical story and is making decisions based on that story. But the reality frequently falls short. Medical records vanish when we switch doctors. Critical details of life-saving treatment plans get lost in muddled electronic charts. The doctors we see change according to specialty, hospital shifts, or an insurer’s whims.

Stanford physician Ilana Yurkiewicz calls this fragmentation, and, she reveals, it’s the central failure of health care today. In this gripping narrative from medicine’s front lines, she shows how a system that doesn’t talk to itself forces doctors, patients, and their loved ones to go to heroic lengths to bridge the gaps. With lives at stake and little other choice, we all do so―but the system is hanging by a thread, and we need better solutions. Radiantly humane, empowering, and ultimately hopeful, Fragmented is a prescription for what really needs fixing in modern medicine.

Today is a special program on the 'NMP' Problem in Medicine. NMP stands for 'not my patient, not my problem" an infection in medicine so wide and so deep even the best of the best develop blind spots (implicit or confirmation bias) while we the patient often pay a very steep price. In my case, my Son Anthony John Masters may be it's latest victum, albeit this happens many times a day so who knows who suffering as we speak.

Host Gil Bashe interviews his colleague and executive producer of Health UnaBASHEd on the untimely, and avoidable death of his 38 year old son Anthony John Masters. For more information on NMP and to follow developments in the space visit Health Innovation Media, 'Tony Masters Forever: Friends Share Their Experience' and Reports from the bedside: Observations on the ‘NMP’ Culture endemic in many U.S. health systems; and follow @GreggMastersMPH on twitter tagging #TeamTony, #EndNMP and #NMP.

Let's end this unaccountable and sometimes fatal flaw in U.S, healthcare.

P.S. they were planning a wedding, not a funeral.

On PopHealth Week we contiune to discuss topline COVID-19 pandemic news which unfortunately shows no sign of slowing. In fact positivity rates, hospital admissions, deaths are all accelerating, a growing pool of 'long haulers' report a range of long term health consequences as part of their recovery, while a vocial minority downplay or discount the threat to the public at large, ie, 'much to do about nothing'.

On today's edition of our COVID-19 update series we dive a little deeper into some of the headlines from the COVID-19 dashboard to the current state of vaccine development and comment on the likely agenda of the soon to be installed Biden/Harris administration.

So first up is the U.S. COVID-19 dashboard where we've passed the grim milestone of 10.5 mil cases with death counts just shy of 1/4 million 240,857.

Most troubling is positivity rates and hospital admissions are all trending up putting health systems are at increased risk in terms of both capacity (beds) & staffing.

In the second installment of PopHealth Week's Covid-19 update (listen to first here), my guests included Nick van Terheyden, MD (@drnic1), Fred Goldstein, MS (@fsgoldstein) and Gregg Masters MPH (@2healthguru).

We provide an update on the Covid-19 pandemic including a novel approach to safe re-opens for business and educational institutions.

We also discuss the global and US specific stats including confirmed cases, deaths and where we stand on regional and national geo-cluster containment, and mitigation efforts including an update on the treatment and prevention (vaccine) horizon.

Dashboard via Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University:

Global Total Confirmed (as of 8/11/20)

Cases: 18,585,774

Deaths: 701,665

United States Total Confirmed

Cases: 4,775,621 25.6% share

Deaths: 156,906 22.3% share

This amidst a Covid-19 ‘balancing act’ factoring in the opposing forces of: Outcome 1: Stop the pandemic (get R0 below 1.0 via usual public health measures to contain or mitigate spread).Outcome 2: Keep economy going (nobody working takes its toll on health and wellbeing)Outcome 3: Protect the hospital system from overwhelm (flatten the curve, our clinicians are exhausted). We've a long way to go to see how this 'novel' coroniavirus chooses ultimately to run its course be be confronted by either effective treatment and/or prevention via one or more vaccines.

Stay tuned!

On This Week in Health Innovation, Thursday, May 2nd 2019 my very special guest is health economist, published author, popular keynote speaker and consumer health vvangelist Jane Sarasohn-Kahn.

In this episode Jane reveals the insights reflected in her new book 'HealthConsuming: From Health Consumer to Health Citizen' and unbundles the seemingly subtle but profound difference between 'consumption' and prident navigation and access of the health system as a 'citizen' with rights and obligations.

We'll discuss Jane's thesis of how health consumers in the U.S. might or can emerge as 'health citizens' where healthcare is a civil right, with privacy protections for personal health information (PHI), and the digital health innovations supporting a healthcare everywhere (and for everyone) model.

In the continuing series 'Live from @BIOconvention 2017' Health Innovation Media co-host Douglas Goldstein (@eFuturist) catches up with Richard Bendis, President & CEO, BioHealth Innovation, Inc who's mission is to put the 'Capitol Region' (Maryland, Northern Virgina & D.C.) on the life sciences map:

'The BioHealth Capital Region has unmatched biohealth assets from iconic federal institutions, world-class universities, top-notch healthcare facilities, and global and emerging bioscience companies. However, we have yet to fully realize the return on investment from these assets. This is largely due to the lack of a cohesive strategy in moving ideas from labs to the market. While other regions with far less assets have proactively addressed this opportunity by creating innovation-driven economic development organizations and initiatives. It is time central Maryland started to close this gap, and it is BioHealth Innovation’s mission to complete.'

The Seventeenth Population Health Colloquium organized by the Jefferson College of Population Health convened in Philadelphia, PA from March 27-29, 2017 at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel.

David Nash, MD, MBA Dean of the Jefferson College of Population Health served as master of ceremonies presiding over 2 1/2 days of power packed presentations by key thought leaders in population health sciences.

In today's uncertain and volatile climate, the practice of population health has taken on even more importance. As health care leaders, we understand the impact of social determinants on our nation's health. The fact that zip code is a better predictor of health than a person's genetic code is a clear indicator of the need to create healthier communities.

In this interview we chat with Michael J. Dowling the President and Chief Executive Officer of Northwell Health who weighs in on value based healthcare, the risk imperative and the importance of leadership in the pivot from volume to value.
