Moving to Value Alliance

Thanks so much for joining us, William Bestermann, and sharing your incredible expertise on optimal medical therapy! Improving patients' lives while reducing spending – that's getting value from healthcare, plain and simple.

Steve Wiggins is an accomplished healthcare entrepreneur and visionary who is currently the inspiration and driving force behind two unique ventures that healthcare influencers should be aware of. One is Oxbridge Health, an episodic bundle company and OpenNetworks, a unique decentralized and transparent platform that allows for the creation of unique and custom networks for employers to service the unique needs of their employer populations. My friends at the Moving to Value Alliance carry on a spirited and informed conversation with Steve that covers his accomplished career in healthcare and finishes with his important and prescient vision for a changed healthcare ecosystem that embraces aligned, decentralized, transparent pricing and contracting. Steve’s vision includes insight into an outsized role for Ai technologies that augment outcomes focused payment models including bundles…….that are informed by and held accountable through data and analytics. Steve warns about innovation getting too far in front of itself, but finishes with an upbeat outlook for payment reform and care transformation. This is one of my favorite episodes and I encourage you to listen and to learn more about Steve’s ventures. #paymentreform #caretransformation #episodesofcare #decentralization #transparency #healthcare #digitalhealth #accountability #valuebasedcare #Ai #APMs #employeehealth #employers #future Christine Arnold Raju Kattumenu Lisa Trumble John Rodis, MD Steve Schutzer, MD Mary Tracy Mock Neal Kaufman Jay Silverstein Brian Klepper Karen van Caulil, Ph.D. Peter Hayes Chris Deacon

?? New Podcast Episode Alert! ?? In the latest episode of our #MTVAUnscripted podcast, MTVA Board members Lisa Trumble John Rodis, MD and Steve Schutzer, MD sit down with Steve Wiggins a healthcare entrepreneur with 40 years of experience pioneering new models in care management and payment structures. Steve’s journey with the healthcare system began in college, when his best friend suffered a life-changing injury that left him paralyzed. Since then, Steve has founded and led multiple companies – including his latest ventures, Oxbridge Health and OpenNetworks, which use bundled payments, episode-based financing and flexible provider networks to deliver value. For Steve, the logic of episode-based financing is clear to patients: “It’s the same unit that the beneficiary or the patient consumes health care, and so you’re aligning the payment with the patient experience, they can relate.” In this conversation, Steve shares how decentralization, transparent pricing, and innovative plan designs can help fix American healthcare. Plus, we discuss how policies like the Transparency in Coverage Rule and No Surprises Act are pushing the industry toward greater fairness and cost predictability. ??

?? Why do Americans pay so much for medications? ?? Are drugs worth the prices we pay? ?? How can we measure the true value of a drug? In the latest episode of our podcast #MTVAUnscripted, MTVA Board members Lisa Trumble John Rodis, MD and Steve Schutzer, MD sit down with Pramod John, Chairman & CEO of VIVIO, a Public Benefit Corporation, to unpack these critical questions! Pramod cuts through the complexity of the pharmacy benefit world, bringing a data-driven, no-nonsense approach to understanding drug costs and value. ??? “It’s not the drug that you’re paying for, it’s the outcome.” With #DrugSpending consuming an ever-larger share of U.S. healthcare costs, it’s time to rethink the traditional PBM model. For Pramod, the solution is simple and achievable: We can fix our broken market with a smarter, outcomes-focused approach. ?? Don’t miss this insightful and inspiring conversation!

A new administration brings new leadership to healthcare agencies, and questions of how they will shape the future of American healthcare. Our guest on the most recent episode of #MTVAUnscripted is a trailblazer who’s been leading innovative approaches for decades. David B. Nash, MD, MBA joined Steve Schutzer, MD, John Rodis, MD and Laura Wadsten to discuss the past, present and future of #PopulationHealth and #PhysicianLeadership! As an outspoken medical school department chair at Thomas Jefferson University in the early 2000s, Dr. Nash was handed a major undertaking: Create a new school. There was no roadmap, but he succeeded, founding the first college of population health in the U.S. — months before the passage of the Affordable Care Act. From scraping together funding from the private sector, to creating a textbook of population health (there was none available at the time), and helping other universities launch their own schools of population health, Dr. Nash is committed to helping build the healthcare leaders of the future. We discuss medical school curriculum, the importance of aligning economic incentives with health outcomes, and what the health industry needs to do in the next few years to deliver on its mission. “The issue is, taken as a whole, how can we say that our industry is improving health? The facts don’t support it. That’s the tough reality.” >>>Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eYMyajm8 #MovingToValueAlliance #HealthcarePodcast #Podcast #TransformingHealthcare #Obamacare #ValueBasedCare #HealthOutcomes #Mentorship

I am thrilled to be a part of the MTVA Unscripted Podcast. Thank you for having me Steve Schutzer, MD, John Rodis, MD and Lisa Trumble.

Great conversation from SoNE HEALTH on the patient-centric nature of #valuebasedcare, and the importance of the patient-provider relationship in delivering quality care! As David Howlett, MD said: “With value-based care, we're getting paid for the value of the service that we give the patient, which means that if we are following guidelines for treatment of their chronic problems, following guidelines for treatment of their acute problems, and doing preventative services, we're actually doing a lot for that patient and giving a lot of value. So, it allows us more time to spend with our patients, more time to do prevention, more time to develop relationships with the patients and give better care, and actually have time to talk to the patients and make shared decisions about their health care.” #healthcarepodcast #crushingHealthcare
