MediStrategy with Kip Piper Episode 11: Improving Prenatal Care and Birth Outcomes Via Mobile Technology: Interview with Juan Pablo Segura of Babyscripts Summary What if we could eliminate preterm birth by 2027? There’s an app for that. That is the moonshot goal of Babyscripts, a new model in pregnancy management that seeks to improve prenatal care and birth outcomes by supporting both pregnant moms and their physicians. The app has been adopted by several of the nation’s top health systems, including MedStar Health, George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates, Northwestern Medicine, UT Physicians, and Aurora Health. A graduate of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, Juan Pablo Segura is the Co-founder and President of Babyscripts, the only doctor-delivered digital health tool that employs remote monitoring and big data to detect problems sooner. The innovative Babyscripts technology has been recognized by Startup Health as a ‘Healthcare Transformer’ and by CTIA as a ‘Wireless Lifechanger.’ The venture was also a member of the inaugural GE Consumer Healthcare program. Segura is a sought-after speaker on the future of digital health and consumer empowerment in the healthcare space; he has given presentations at mHealth, HIMSS, WEGO Health, Health Datapalooza, and Health 2.0. Today Segura discusses how the Babyscripts mobile app can improve birth outcomes, more rapidly detect at-risk pregnancies, facilitate patient-doctor communication between office visits, improve patient satisfaction, increase reimbursement for obstetricians, and lower overall healthcare costs. Listen and learn how the Babyscripts team has ‘labored’ to create and test a groundbreaking, evidence-based mobile app available only through obstetricians.

MediStrategy with Kip Piper Episode 10: Value-Based Purchasing with Healthcare Consultant Nancy Kohler of Sellers Dorsey Summary Savvy consumers seek the best value for their money, evaluating the benefits of a product prior to purchase. Elsewhere in the economy, it seems obvious that we should hold a manufacturer accountable for delivering a quality product. With health care reform, this concept has at last been applied to medical care via the value-based purchasing model. Rather than simply paying fee-for-service which rewards volume, health care consumers, health plans, and purchasers - state Medicaid programs, federal Medicare program, and employers - can hold providers responsible for outcomes. As a consultant with Sellers Dorsey, Nancy Kohler provides assistance in federal and state health policy issues, financial analysis, and project management. Before joining the firm, she played a key role in the implementation and operational aspects of the Statewide Quality Care Assessment for the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. The initiative provided millions of dollars in revenue to the Commonwealth's many hospitals and modernized Pennsylvania Medicaid hospital reimbursement. Ms. Kohler's comprehensive portfolio of experience includes both large and small scale public health program operations, policy development and fiscal analysis. She spent 20-plus years at KePRO, dedicating the last six years of her tenure as the vice president of public programs. Nancy Kohler has her master’s degree in Health Services Administration and is a Registered Health Information Administrator and Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality. In this episode, she outlines the core characteristics of the value-based purchasing model, the challenges faced by Medicaid in transitioning to value-based purchasing, and the federal and state collaboration key to further reform efforts. Well-versed in how current legislative proposals might affect value-based purchasing, Kohler explores Congress' efforts to repeal and replace the ACA, the fate of MACRA, and HHA Secretary Price’s advocacy for relief from administrative burdens.

MediStrategy with Kip Piper Episode 09: Fighting Healthcare Fraud and Ensuring Medicaid Program Integrity: Interview with Bill Lucia, Chairman and CEO, HMS Summary “Fighting health care fraud is like playing Whac-A-Mole.” Our nation’s $3.2 trillion healthcare system is a complex beast.

MediStrategy with Kip Piper Episode 08 - Recruiting Top Physician Talent: Interview with Gil Carrara, MD, Leading Health Care Executive Recruiter This episode offers valuable insight into recruiting physicians for leadership, management, clinical, and scientific roles. Today's competitive policy landscape has fundamentally changed physician recruiting. Industry leader Dr. Gil Carrara discusses the changes in health care recruiting, and what health care organizations need to know to identify, recruit, and retain top physician talent. He offers tips for aspiring executives and physician leaders who want to position themselves for advancement. Topics covered also include how the new public rating systems for physicians, hospitals, and other providers is changing the industry and how “people analytics” are transforming recruitment, hiring, assessment, and retention practices. Understanding new developments in physician recruiting and retention is critically important to health insurers, hospitals and health systems, integrated delivery systems, accountable care organizations, life sciences companies, multi-physician practices, and government health agencies - as well as physicians seeking leadership and management roles in the healthcare industry. Subscribe in iTunes | Stitcher | SoundCloud | Libsyn | RSS Feed Takeaways: Health care organizations can do better to recruit top talent. Organizations need to understand that: ? Competition for top physician talent is fierce. ? Candidates are very aware of the marketplace and their value in that marketplace. ? Organizations need to articulate their organizational culture and share that with candidates. ? Candidates want to know about opportunities for career advancement within the organization. ? The process doesn’t stop with hiring — organizations must maintain sustained contact with the new hire. Recruitment and hiring practices in the health care industry are changing dramatically. In the past, hires hinged on the size of someone’s CV, the institutions they’d worked with, the universities they graduated from, or how well the candidate interviewed. Core competencies, and the means to accurately assess those competencies, are the future of successful recruitment. The new star rating systems (publicly rating health plans, hospitals, and physicians on their performance) is an industry game changer and will change how hospitals, health systems, health plans, and others operate and what they need in physician leaders. There are exciting new tools more effectively identify and screen top talent, like people analytics. ? People analytics herald a sea change in how human resource departments make hiring decisions. ? The approach gives more effective, unbiased assessments of candidates. ? It can help bring more diversity to the workplace, short-circuiting the tendency of hiring managers to hire people just like them. Innovations in the health care industry are changing the kind of leadership and management that organizations need. Big changes in the health care industry include: ? CRISPR, or gene editing, allows researchers to cut out faulty, damaged, or disease-causing pieces of DNA, replacing them with healthy pieces. This technology will potentially revolutionize how we treat diseases. ? Big data, or new ways of understanding the data we’ve already collected, will change the face of the industry. ? Consumer health care, including wearables, is pushing health care back towards the patient. There will be dramatic changes as healthcare is put back into the individual’s hands. How aspiring health care executives and physician leaders can better position themselves for career advancement. ? Educate yourself on the marketplace. Talk to other people, network, and learn about different companies and their cultures. ? Manage expectations: there are pluses and minuses to every opportunity. ? Work on your teaming skills. In healthcare institutions and life science companies, you work in teams. ? Demonstrate true management ability. Many physicians feel that they have management skills by leading residents, but that's not the same thing. ? Know how to interview, how to ask insightful questions and effectively answer questions. ? Develop your own personal brand, hold fast to it, and communicate that brand to hiring individuals. ? Know the value that you will be bringing to that particular organization—that’s part of your brand. About Gil Carrara, MD Gilbert J.
