Paul Markovich, the CEO of Blue Shield of California, is on a mission to bring down health costs by reducing administrative overhead and negotiating lower drug prices. In this episode we dive deep into Paul’s call to action for healthcare leaders to tackle the affordability crisis head-on.

Even though our economy is running pretty much at or near full employment, we have record fiscal deficits… We cannot keep spending on this program the way that we are.

35:19On so many issues, Congress has not been willing or able to act. But when faced with horrifying stories of death and mismanagement, Congress finally passed legislation to reform the US organ transplant system. They did so because people like Donna Cryer, a transplant recipient and patient advocate, demanded a better system for Americans who need lifesaving organ transplants. Now, as the new law moves into implementation, the work continues. In this episode, Donna and I discuss: The new legislation that is breaking up the deadly organ transplant monopoly How ignoring the expertise and insights of patients dooms us to slow progress making healthcare safer and better Her advice for young people: “take your shot” Donna says we all need to start listening more closely to patients with lived experience: “I often think if you... had many people with great deals of experience and intelligence who were highly motivated to help you achieve your goal. Why would you not want to use them? Why would you not want to partner with them? Why would you work really, really hard to keep them away from solving the problem? And that's how people treat patients and patient advocates.” Relevant Links Donna Cryer’s testimony to the Senate Finance Committee on organ transplant system failures (just past the 48:00 mark) Summary of the new law to break up the organ transplantation monopoly More about the Global Liver Institute See more details about the Advanced Advocacy Academy Donna's organization launched Visit UNOS’ website About Our Guest Donna R.

Dr. Theresa “Terry” Cullen is on a mission to make Pima County, Arizona one of the healthiest counties in the nation. It’s a challenging goal, and one that will take dedication and a willingness to fight for what’s right. But, Terry is a self-described, life-long pugilist – with an approach to healthcare that goes beyond policies and programs. Everything she does is rooted in her deep belief in accompaniment; that her role is to walk alongside her patients and community offering empathy, dignity and respect. We discuss: Her work as a rural doctor with the Indian Health Service Deploying to West Africa in 2014 for the Ebola crisis Why the VA and DOD could not agree on electronic health records Her commitment to make Pima county one of the healthiest in the nation Terry reminds us that sometimes we need to step back and look at the work we do through a new lens: “My husband's an artist, and he challenges me all the time to look at something and look at the light. Look at the composition. Look at where it is. What's the pattern there? You know, and a lot of medicine is based on pattern, but think of a disruptive pattern. Think of a puzzle where the piece doesn't fit and what do you need to do to make that piece fit?

With the election just days away, Larry Levitt joins me to discuss where Harris and Trump stand on key health issues: reproductive health, affordability and Medicaid. While health has not taken center stage (as it has in the past), the outcome of this election will have profound impacts on every aspect of health in the years ahead. We discuss: Why the ACA is no longer a political battlefield The shifting dynamics of abortion as a single-issue vote Why medical debt and drug prices are key affordability issues to watch Whether we could see bipartisan progress on AI governance, long term care or PBM reform over the next four years Larry reminds us that health IS an economic issue: “People think of the economy and health care being separate issues, but they're In fact, not separate issues at all. I mean, we spend an enormous amount on health care. A lot of people's household budgets go to health care.

44:34In July, US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a landmark advisory declaring firearm violence a national public health crisis. The advisory builds on decades of work from Dr. Megan Ranney and other researchers who advocate taking a public health approach to reducing firearm violence. She joined us at Aspen Ideas: Health to discuss what this means: namely moving from a focus on law and order to centering harm reduction and prevention. Now, as the Dean of the Yale School of Public Health, Megan is applying the same systems thinking approach to focus on the big changes we need to drive health in the US. We discuss: What it means to be a great public health communicator How public health approaches were used to dramatically reduce automobile deaths over the last 50 years, and how the same strategies should be used now to tackle firearm deaths Her take on bridging the gap between medical care and public health Megan says this is the moment for public health reinvention: “This is a moment where we get to reinvent how we study, teach, and most of all, practice public health, not just locally, but also globally, as we come out of the COVID pandemic, and I think there's a real moral clarity, but also a moral imperative for us, as public health professionals, to seize this moment, to take this kind of pivot point that we're at as a field, and to move it forward in a direction that we will be proud of.” Relevant Links Megan Ranney testimony on gun violence as a public health issue Gun violence panel at Aspen Ideas: Health Surgeon General advisory on firearm violence Yale Q&A with Dean Megan Ranney Common health coalition Bipartisan Safer Communities Act UC Berkeley School of Public Health course on urban gun violence prevention More on Rahimi case About Our Guest Dr. Megan L.

Deena Shakir is an investor who is obsessed with expanding access to the basic health services people need and often can’t access: pediatric care, community health and women’s services. Her journey to investing passed through policymaking, journalism and big tech and her early techno optimism has given way to a much more nuanced and pragmatic view. She is able to see the big opportunities for impact hiding in plain sight. We discuss: The two obvious megatrends hitting healthcare: GLP1s and AI And the not so obvious opportunity: doing basic things better How Dobbs was an accelerant, not a deterrent, for investments in women’s health Why Public Health is great training for healthcare founders Deena is excited about “asset light” investments that combine new care models – like community health workers – and technology: “There are some things that won't change. And there are things that hopefully tech can help to navigate. And so these asset light models, these models that are leveraging under leveraged care workers – like community health workers that are providing culturally competent care – and at the end of the day, that are improving metrics and outcomes, are the ones that get me excited.” Relevant Links Lux Capital Jonathan Haidt article in The Atlantic titled “Why the past 10 years of American Life have been uniquely stupid” President Obama’s Cairo speech ARPA-H Sprint for Women’s Health Health companies Deena mentions that she invests in: Waymark Summer health Maven Clinic About Our Guest Deena's investments span stages and sectors, and include women's health, digital health infrastructure, health equity, foodtech, and fintech.

Government systems often take a lot of flack for their (sometimes) built-in inability to take risks and make big bets. So, what would it take to encourage the government to take those big, risky moonshots? For Health, that’s the role of ARPA-H – to fund new ways of improving health by investing in people with big ideas. We sat down with ARPA-H Director Renee Wegrzyn at Aspen Ideas Health to talk about how it’s going and what comes next. We discuss: Why ARPA-H is personal for President Biden. How ARPA-H’s special authorities – from flexible hiring to novel contracting – are its secret weapons for speed and scale. The critical role of Program Managers – single decision maker driving the vision and execution of each $50-$200 million initiative. Renee says ARPA-H gives her the ability to direct funds into areas that are sometimes left off the list of “must haves” for innovation: “...one of the only top down things I've done as a director is said, ‘Why aren't we funding more in women's health? We don't have any program managers in the pipeline that want to exclusively focus on this’. But I think we all inherently understand that women are underrepresented in almost every aspect of health. So I asked our [Program Managers].. who wants to raise [a] hand and pick a topic that is really either unique to women, or is disproportionately affecting women that we can do a sprint and invest around. And so I got six Program Managers to come up with topics, everything from Women's Health at home, to brain health, to understanding and quantifying pain – and through the Investor Catalyst Hub we have worked with investors to understand what kind of convincing scale do we need to get to for you to be the second investor. And we competed this across the country.” Relevant Links About ARPA-H ARPA-H Health Equity Factsheet The Minor Consult Podcast Episode ARPA - H Timeline Youtube Conversation with New Yorker writer White House FAQ Sheet on ARPA-H About Our Guest Dr. Renee Wegrzyn is the first director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), appointed by President Biden on October 11, 2022.

45:33The US is living through an affordable housing crisis - in fact, we are short millions and millions of affordable housing units. During the pandemic, homelessness flattened with an influx of resources to help keep people housed. But, those resources have long expired and now we are seeing an uptick in homelessness across the country. Jeff Olivet, the director of USICH (United States Interagency Council on Homelessness), says the problem is complex – but the math isn’t. We need more affordable housing. We discuss: Biden’s proposed budget, which includes guaranteed vouchers for every low income veteran and person aging out of foster care The new frontier; pairing emergency response such as shelters with robust prevention strategies How prevention starts with helping families through periods of financial crisis What happens when heat crises turn deadly for people who are homeless Jeff reminds us that the people affected most by the affordable housing crisis are those who have experienced trauma and domestic violence: “50 years ago, we still had domestic violence, we still had addiction, we still had mental illness, and we didn't have perfect systems to address that – but we had enough housing for everybody, and we did not see homelessness on the scale we see it today. So when we're responding to homelessness, it's critical to individualize support for people to make sure they have access to the care they need in terms of health and mental health and recovery and all of those important things. But if we don't solve the underlying structural stuff, the lack of affordable housing, the ongoing discrimination that people of color and LGBTQ people face in jobs and trying to buy a home or rent a home in the criminal legal system, in education, if we don't solve that underlying stuff, we're gonna keep seeing homelessness for a very long time to come.” Relevant Links Jeff Olivet testimony to Congress on strategies to reduce Veteran homelessness Federal actions to increase housing supply and lower housing costs HUD-VASH vouchers to support homeless veterans USICH guidance document for healthcare Article about the SCOTUS ruling About Our Guest Jeff Olivet is the executive director of USICH.

41:17California is the latest state to address healthcare affordability through cost growth targets. Elizabeth Mitchell – President and CEO of Purchaser Business Group on Health – Joins us to discuss the nuts and bolts of the 3% cost growth target recently adopted by the state. Healthcare affordability is a big issue across the country. More than half of us skip or postpone care due to cost and medical bills are a leading cause of bankruptcy. Reining in medical costs is also how we’ll free up resources for what we know works to build health in America: prevention, addressing the social drivers and fostering health in communities. We discuss: Two proven strategies to reduce healthcare costs: advanced primary care and effective specialty referrals Why better consumer “shopping” is not the path to healthcare affordability How price transparency gives employers new tools to negotiate, and reveals troubling facts about purchasing intermediaries Elizabeth reminds us how troubling it is that we don’t have clear prices in a sector that makes up 20% of the economy: “The idea that you can't find out what something is going to cost before you agree to it is outrageous. Name any other industry that refuses to show you a price. It is incredible to me that we are still fighting about transparency when it is 20 % of the US economy. I mean, this is a multi-trillion-dollar industry who feels no accountability to show pricing. So, I just think it is incredible that we do not have meaningful transparency yet.” Relevant Links California’s Office of Health Care Affordability sets cost growth target Federal hospital price transparency requirements Purchaser Business Group on Health (PBGH) website PBGH white paper on advanced primary care US Department of Labor clarifies the fiduciary responsibilities of self-insured employers purchasing healthcare About Our Guest As President and CEO, Elizabeth Mitchell advances Purchaser Business Group on Health’s (PBGH’s) strategic focus areas of advanced primary care, functional markets and purchasing value. Mitchell leads PBGH in mobilizing health care purchasers, elevating the role and impact of primary care, and creating functional health care markets to support high-quality affordable care, achieving measurable impacts on outcomes and affordability. At PBGH, Elizabeth leverages her extensive experience in working with health care purchasers, providers, policymakers and payers to improve health care quality and cost. She previously served as Senior Vice President for Healthcare and Community Health Transformation at Blue Shield of California, during which time she designed Blue Shield’s strategy for transforming practice, payment and community health.

The scope, scale and timeline of what California is trying to do with CalAIM is truly breathtaking. Two years after the launch of the ambitious program, which offers integrated medical and social care for California's 15 million Medicaid members, Dr. Palav Babaria joins us to discuss how it’s going and what comes next. Dr. Babaria is a primary care physician who leads quality and population health management for California’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal. We discuss: Which community supports are used most, or least? One of the big learnings from CalAIM: the enhanced care management models that work for adults dont work for children How Medi-Cal is leveraging health plans as the organizers of social care because that’s where the members are The soon-to-be-released population health management service will address two big issues: standardized and equitable approaches to identifying high risk members and integrating state level benefits data, like for WIC Palav reminds us that CalAIM was built through listening: “Not everyone may know this, but CalAIM was generated from a statewide listening tour. Our previous state Medicaid director went around the state and literally asked communities… rooms full of plans, members, providers, what do you need from Medi-Cal that isn't working today? [The] smorgasbord of recommendations is what turned into CalAIM … Listening to the community and responding to the community's needs is in the core DNA of this program.” Relevant Links Listen to our related episode “Reflecting on Year One of CalAIM with Jacey Cooper” CalAIM dashboard Population health management policy guide California and other states require managed care plans to reinvest in local communities NY waiver summary About Our Guest Dr. Palav Babaria was appointed Chief Quality Officer and Deputy Director of Quality and Population Health Management of the California Department of Health Care Services beginning in March 2021.

38:15If there’s one thing politicians do little of these days it’s change their minds. But, that’s exactly what North Carolina’s General Assembly did in 2023. Ten years after the ACA was passed, and in a historic bipartisan move, they changed their minds and voted to expand Medicaid. NC Secretary of Health & Human Services Kody Kinsley joined us to talk about what it took to get this done and how it’s been going so far. We discuss: How to get stuff done in a politically divided state One move that would dramatically increase access to healthy food in America - automatically enroll all Medicaid beneficiaries in SNAP Why NC Medicaid has gone deep on peer to peer support for prenatal care and mental health The importance of building a better narrative about the role and value of public health Kody points out NC’s strategy of investing in community organizations is creating both health and economic opportunities: “75% of our community based organizations are minority or women owned throughout those 33 counties. So, this isn't just about getting good access to what drives health in the long run. This is also about building that infrastructure and having a financing model that sustains it that is in the balance, a good value for the taxpayer.” Relevant Links NC enrollment dashboard Crisis warmline Healthy Opportunities pilots “NC Launches Additional Phone Support for People Experiencing Mental Illness or Substance Use Disorfer” [RELEASE] About Our Guest Kody Kinsley serves as North Carolina’s Secretary of Health & Human Services, overseeing a department with over 18,000 staff and a $38 billion budget.

One thing is clear from the last four years: public health leaders need to seriously upgrade their skills in communication and partnering. In this episode Anne Zink, who is stepping down as Alaska’s Chief Medical Officer, brings us a master class in both topics. Guiding the state through COVID she inspired both a Facebook fan group and the hashtag #ThinkLikeZink. Take a listen and you will see why. We discuss: How we might have avoided the politicization of COVID Partnering with Alaska’s tribes to get vaccines to every corner of the state The ways her background as a fine art major, mountaineer and emergency medicine doctor shapes her leadership approach Anne is committed to breaking the silos between medical care and public health: “Public health is population health and if you want to make a difference … public health and health care have to be braided together. We need to not think about this in terms of separate systems, but we need to think in terms of patients and to get there, public health is that key chief strategist for population health and needs to be at the table.” Relevant Links NPR Story on #ThinkLikeZink Article on the Five Reasons Dr. Zink is crushing it as a crisis communicator An interview with Alaska’s top doctor Article on the rural Alaskan towns leading the country in vaccination Case study on the partnership between public health and tribes for vaccine distribution in Alaska Information on the Watson Fellowship About Our Guest Anne Zink grew up in Colorado and moved through her training from College in Philadelphia to Medical School at Stanford and then Residency at the University of Utah.

The book is a deep dive into the expert network of patients, survivors and caregivers who are charting a new path of innovation and research. It is for anyone who feels alone, forgotten or lost in the shadows of suffering as they navigate a new diagnosis. But, it’s also for anyone working inside healthcare who is fed up with the status quo. We discuss: How patients – like those first affected by long COVID - accelerate solutions by making invisible problems visible That data liberation is often the foundation for patient rebel movements The pop up peer groups forming in Amazon reviews A framework for understanding, and embracing patient expertise: seekers, networkers, solvers and champions Susannah reminds all innovators to talk with people living with rare and life-changing diagnoses: “If you are going to try to understand the intersection of healthcare and technology, you need to put down your clipboard – which is the classic status symbol of a survey researcher – and get out there and just talk to people.

The majority of those things come from Palo Alto, Rochester, Minnesota [and] Boston. And, those patients are wonderful and they deserve to have algorithms trained on them and learning about them, but they are not representative of the rest of the country – let alone the rest of the world. And so, we have these huge disparities in the data from which algorithms are learning.

And so that requires a change in mindset of the scientific community about what is evidence, who generates evidence, who can contribute to evidence, what evidence is needed and what methods are we going to use to obtain said evidence?

42:57We may be politically divided, but when it comes to healthcare there is actually a lot we agree on as a nation. We want healthcare that is affordable. We want a healthcare system that is easy to understand and navigate. We want to know we will receive good care when we need it most. These insights are something our guest Natalie Davis takes to heart in her work at United States of Care. She and her team are fighting hard to help create a more dependable healthcare system for diverse and underserved Americans. We discuss: Why we should never use the term “value-based care” ever again. Braidwood vs. Becerra: The court case that may eliminate free preventive services for half of all Americans. The double whammy of US healthcare: system failures and personal shame. How to nurture listening and belonging on a team. Natalie says before you start listening, you need to consider who is being failed by the healthcare system and prioritize hearing their stories: “If we look at something like maternal health – which is a work that we're doing right now – if you look at the data, it is women of color, especially Black women who are left behind and facing a real failure of our system, which is causing morbidity and mortality. And so, for our organization, we are listening loudly to Black women and we are talking to people in communit[ies], we are talking in focus groups to really make sure we understand those issues. Because, if the people who are not served by this healthcare system are listened to and then served it will make the healthcare system function better for all of us.” Relevant Links United States of Care's website United Solutions for Care Patient-First Care (a.k.a.

The modern world, and the products we use everyday, are making us sick. But what if we could shift this trend and start to build health into everyday life? That’s exactly what Steve Downs and Thomas Goetz, co-founders of Building H, are working on. Steve, the former CTO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, joins us to discuss how Building H is helping companies and designers re-engineer products and “product environments” so they improve rather than harm health. We discuss: Shocking trends in American health: 48% of Americans are lonely, 35% dont get six hours a night of sleep and 60% of adult calories come from ultra-processed food. The mistake of thinking of our daily choices as “individual” decisions, when these decisions are profoundly shaped by our environments and the products we use. The Building H Index, which evaluates everyday products against five metrics of health: eating, physical activity, sleep, social connection, and spending time outdoors. Culdesac - A real-estate developer that is building “cities for people without cars”. Steve asks how we could broaden consumer product regulation to focus on broad health impacts, not just safety: "McDonald's is not responsible for all the food related chronic illnesses in America. But you might argue that they are, I don't know, 1.7%, responsible or 3.8% responsible … I think we ultimately need to get to a place where if your product is leading to unhealthy behaviors, which is leading to illness and disease and cost, there may need to be some accountability for that."

If you’re interested in participating in a short scoring exercise, please go to this site for details and sign up https://www.buildingh.org/index/volunteer-signup About Our Guest Steve Downs works at Building H as a co-founder. Prior to his role at Building H, Steve was the chief technology and strategy officer at Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) where he led a transformation of the Foundation’s practice of program strategy, putting in place an approach that is highly flexible and adaptive. Over his career at RWJF, Steve held a variety of management roles — including chief technology and information officer, assistant vice president of the health group, and founding leader of the foundation’s innovation portfolio — while also funding and working directly with a broad portfolio of innovators at the intersection of tech and health.

Summary Steve Downs discusses his work as CTO and Chief Strategy Officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. (02:00) Claudia Williams and Steve talk about his work at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation where he helped develop their strategy and grantmaking approach around building a “culture of health”.. Trying to be healthy in the modern world is like swimming upstream against strong currents. (05:58) Humans, who evolved as hunter-gatherers, are not well-suited for modern and sedentary life, leading to the rapid recent uptick in chronic diseases. We highlight the gradual erosion of healthy behaviors (diet, physical activity, sleep, social interaction) in parallel with the rise of chronic conditions. The Building H Index measures the health impact of everyday products and services. (10:36) Steve and a team of experts developed a project – the Building H index – to assess the health impact of everyday products and services, starting with 37 major products and services and expanding to 75 in a new iteration. The team aims to use a Health Impact Assessment framework to evaluate the potential health effects of the products and services we use everyday. Products can have negative (or positive) impact on a surprisingly broad range of health behaviors. (12:40) For instance, consuming fast food has a negative impact on nutrition but also on sleep, social interaction, physical activity and time spent outdoors. The Building H team aims to get companies to recognize their influence on health behaviors and work towards creating healthier products and experiences. Laying the groundwork for different approaches to product regulation. (14:08) Steve discusses how consumer product regulation could consider the aggregate of product influences, rather than just safety. He argues that companies should be held accountable for the externalities of their products on people's health, such as obesity and related illnesses. Steve suggests that measuring and internalizing these externalities could lead to different forms of regulation. Researchers at Harvard Business School are developing a framework for corporate financial statements that quantify a company's social impact in dollars and cents. How have companies reacted to the Building H index? (19:55) Some companies are eager to engage in conversations about product changes they could make to make them healthier. But that reaction is not universal. Some companies are curious, engaged, and want to improve, while others are indifferent or unresponsive. Steve highlights the constructive nature of the assessment, which is akin to a free product consultancy with actionable suggestions for product changes that could lead to a more positive impact on health. Could this lead to voluntary agreements across companies? (23:34) Companies could work collaboratively to avoid harmful practices like autoplay in video streaming services. Culdesac – a company building a car-free community in Arizona – won the top score on the 2022 Building H index. (25:41) Culdesac is building a car-free community in Tempe, Arizona, with shared bikes and scooters, lots of social spaces, and a grocery store. Many people want to live in an environment that supports and promotes healthier and more green choices. Moving beyond a model of behavior change based on individual choice. (27:38) We discuss how individual agency and choice is not always a useful way to think about health behaviors given the enormous influence from how the products we use and the environments we live in are designed. Steve: "If you tilt the playing field in a certain direction, the balls are gonna roll to one side." Steve suggests reimagining entertainment beyond screens and couches, envisioning a future where it's more physical, social, and outdoors. Building H is collaborating with the University of Washington's Department of Human Centered Design and Engineering to explore speculative design projects. How can universities and schools of public health be more impactful in creating the conditions of health in America? (33:30) Steve urges schools of public health to jump on this issue of the "product environment" since it is an underexplored topic for research and action. We need more research and measurement around the impact of product features on health behaviors. We also need more people to do research that is an input for an action, application or policy change that will influence health.…

26:40Rural America is facing a healthcare crisis. Home to 60 million people, rural areas face a 23% higher mortality rate compared to urban locations due to lack of infrastructure, lower socio-economic status and provider shortages. Indeed, rural areas have half as many primary care providers and an eighth as many specialists as urban locales. In this episode, Homeward’s CEO, Jennifer Schneider discusses how her company uses remote monitoring, telehealth and a novel staffing model to re-architect care delivery in rural America with the goals of improving access and health outcomes. We discuss: Why Jennifer and her co-founder decided to make Homeward a B Corp. How Homeward uses technology and non-physician providers to expand access to care in rural America. Lessons from Homeward’s early rollout in Minnesota. Jennifer says we often underestimate how large the rural healthcare market is: “I jokingly say [to] people when we started Livongo... we initially started in diabetes care. And people said, “That's amazing, it's going to be a huge business. There's 30 million people living with diabetes, so great that you did this nice little niche company for your next company”. And so well, how many people do you think live in a rural health care markets? [I] kind of get a blank stare. And the answer is – double the size [of] the population of people with diabetes… 60 million people live in… [a] rural market.“ Relevant Links Homeward website Lack Of Access To Specialists Associated With Mortality And Preventable Hospitalizations Of Rural Medicare Beneficiaries [Article] U.S. Government Accountability Office: “ACCESSING HEALTH CARE IN RURAL AMERICA” [PDF] Forbes: “Healthcare In Rural America Isn’t A Little Broken, It’s A Lot Broken: A Conversation With Dr. Jennifer Schneider, Founder And CEO, Homeward Health” About Our Guest Dr. Jennifer Schneider is the co-founder and chief executive officer of Homeward, a company focused on rearchitecting the delivery of health and care in partnership with communities everywhere, starting in rural America.

Before the phrase “social drivers of health” was commonly used, Community Health Centers had already developed a model of care that was holistic, grounded in social change and embedded in the community. At this year’s HLTH Conference in Las Vegas, I sat down with Dr. Kyu Rhee, the new CEO of the National Association of Community Health Centers. Dr. Rhee brings a fresh perspective to NACHC as a clinician and an immigrant with broad experience in policy, clinical practice and technology. We discuss: What medicine would look like if every doctor was trained in a community health center, not just in fancy hospitals. How CHCs knock quality metrics out of the park while improving equity. One secret to community embeddedness: Every CHC must name patients to at least half of the governing board seats. The new prescriptions to improve health: food and iPads. Kyu reminds us that changing an entire system can’t happen overnight, we need patience and passion: “Earlier in my career as a medical director, I was like, “We got to fix this!” And I think I had to learn that there's so many angles on how you see a problem … so that passion of advocating for health equity and the injustices, you have to be thoughtful about allowing that passion to be part of your purpose, but also being patient in the process.” Relevant Links Website for the National Association of Community Health Centers Economic Impact of Community Health Centre in the United States [PDF] America’s Health Centers by the Numbers [PDF] "How the Civil Rights Movement Gave Rise to Community Health Centers" [BLOG] About Our Guest Dr. Kyu (“Q”) Rhee, MD, MPP, joined the National Association of Community Health Centers as CEO in 2023.

Is whole health here to stay, or is it a shiny new object? Our guest today is Dr. Shantanu Agrawal, Chief Health Officer at Elevance Health. He falls soundly on the “here to stay” side of the ledger. He shares that whole health is not a side business for Elevance Health and its 47.5 million members. It is the core strategy for how the company will achieve value and affordability. And it’s also what patients want. We dive into: Whether the US could get better outcomes at the same cost by redirecting resources from medical to social care. Why and how Elevance developed its Whole Health Index. The Elevance foundation’s three-part focus: maternal health, food as medicine and substance use disorders. The need for a new quality paradigm that measures whole health, not clinical care for individual body parts. Shantanu calls for a deeper look at US health spending and outcomes compared to other countries: “People often make this comparison, ‘well, our health outcomes are generally worse, we spend a lot of money in health care’. However, when you actually look at the total expense on health and social care across all these countries, it actually looks pretty similar. We are more on par with our peers, or they're more on par with us from a cost standpoint. But it is true - our health outcomes are worse. Well, why is that? Well, maybe it's because we've emphasized health care, and not care of a person's health, which means being inclusive of social and being upstream and working earlier in their life. Perhaps if we do this, we will right size the equation for our country.” Relevant Links More information on Elevance’s Whole Health Index [PDF] Health Affairs article on “A Whole Health Population-Based Payment Approach” Committing to Whole Health: A Conversation with Felicia Norwood & Dr. Shantanu Agrawal [VIDEO] Distinguishing Health Equity and Health Care Equity: A Framework for Measurement About Our Guest Shantanu Agrawal, MD, MPhil is chief health officer at Elevance Health, where he oversees the enterprise whole health strategy, including medical policy and clinical quality, as well as the company’s industry-leading work to address health-related social needs and health equity.

For Dr. Tony Iton, we have to understand the past before we can shape the future. Our history of racism and exclusion laid the foundation for poor health in America. The way out is not simply delivering more and better services – it is building the voice and power of communities. Tony led The California Endowment’s nearly $2 billion and decade-long investment to test this approach. He shares his journey from Canada to the US to attend medical school and his eye-opening awakening to the stark disparities in Baltimore that led him to coin the phrase “your zip code is more important than your genetic code in determining health.” We discuss: The ABC’s of health equity in California: agency, belonging and fundamental conditions The power of narrative to shape policy choices towards either belonging or exclusion How California communities applied this framework to dramatically change school climate and reduce suspensions Tony calls on public health to move away from medicine and towards its community-oriented roots: “[Public health has] essentially tried to mimic the healthcare delivery system. And it doesn't belong on that stage, it's a very different kind of entity. Where public health actually proves itself to be authentic, is when it's in direct partnership with community. And it's about bringing the people who are closest to the pain into these decision making processes, so that we get true equity, we get solutions that are grounded in an understanding of how these things play out in people's lives. That's where public health is operating at its best and highest purpose.“ Relevant Links Building community power to dismantle policy-based structural inequity in health Building healthy communities: Five drivers of change Shifting from technocratic to democratic solutions: A radical vision for health and racial equality Unnatural Causes documentary About Our Guest Dr. Tony Iton is a Senior Vice President for Healthy Communities at The California Endowment.

If we want people to experience whole person health – states will have to do a lot of silo-busting to integrate, streamline and coordinate disparate medical, social and economic programs. Data will be the axis of the strategy, but who owns that data and what guardrails are needed? How do we encourage not just data but also technology sharing across state programs? Jess Kahn joins me to discuss state efforts to integrate programs, technology and data to support whole person health. She’s a partner at McKinsey specializing in state Medicaid and social service programs, public-sector data and technology. Before joining McKinsey she led Medicaid data and systems at CMS. We discuss: Dual lessons from COVID: the danger of public health data silos and the possibility of rapid innovation The technology and data infrastructure states are building for whole person health How states are partnering with nonprofit health data utilities The big miss from the national EHR rollout: user-centered design Jess highlights the dangerous gap in federal authority and accountability around the sensitive social data: "So the risks are really clear… this is data that tells you a lot more about the vulnerabilities people have … There isn't a federal agency that asserts that they have some kind of legal authority to set boundaries … Who's going to write that regulation? Who's going to tell state Medicaid agencies – or any entity for that matter – what the guardrails are around collection, around sharing, around ownership?” #healthcare #investments #housing #medicaid #health #socialdeterminantsofhealth #managedcare Relevant Links Health Data Utility Framework - a Guide to Implementation [PDF] Hubert Humphrey Quote in HHS Building Websites of Health Data Utilities Mentioned in Episode: CRISP Health Contexture CyncHealth IHIE About Our Guest Jess Kahn has over 25 years of experience in national, state, and local healthcare programs in government, not-for-profit, and corporate settings.

In this episode, recorded live at the Civitas Networks for Health conference in DC, I sit down with Jennifer Pahlka, author of "Recoding America", to discuss how to improve implementation and impact of big new policy initiatives. The book and episode are essential reading and listening for anyone trying to make government – or any ambitious project - work for people. We discuss: The dangers of treating the bureaucracy – not citizens – as the client Closing the gap between intellectuals (policymakers) and mechanicals (implementers) What policymakers can learn from agile Using data as a compass not a grade Jen points out that a waterfall approach to policy implementation is a pledge not to learn: “... When you see us trying to implement law and policy by always having information flow from the top to the bottom, and never letting it return back, that's the problem. There can be no software development involved in this at all. And we can still be in a waterfall.
