Any HIM students looking to learn more about Release of Information, come join my session!!

Need a recipe to get 50 Veterans and Stakeholders to spend a couple of hours in your clinic, twice a month? Read on. Start by dropping hints to your Veterans and Stakeholder engagements that something fun and exciting is on the way. Allow this to simmer for about a month, stirring the pot occasionally with a snippet of info or a picture or two. Careful not to overdo it. When the batter is warm and begins to rise, enlist a few other “cooks” to help with the plan. And just before they storm the doors for more info, send a flyer announcing the event. Now sit back, enjoy the book in the comfort of your home, and come to the clinic prepared to have fun, meet new people, and share your experiences with the book. Our Community Outreach team in Salt Lake City (Sarah Hallen, Andrea Westergard) partnered with Kimber Parry (Rural Health) to create a truly amazing event. The St. George VA Clinic Book Club. The books came in today (50 regular and 10 Large Print). Starting in August we will read, “The Book Thief”, by Markus Zusak. I can honestly say this book is in the top 5% of my reads over the last decade (and the movie isn’t bad, either). Reading a book and sharing in a communal setting is healthcare. It’s refreshing. It’s entertaining. And it doesn’t cost a lot of time or effort. A Book Club can bring your Veterans together in a powerful demonstration of what it means to be a community. That’s right. We’re changing the face of healthcare. One thriller at a time.

Coming soon, our discussion on the interesting and important subject. What a great line up of speakers we have for this. Claudio G.,Patrick Cohen , Charlotte Roux ,Kirsty Leivers Virginie Faucon MBA, Jessica Mahoney #axaglobalhealthcare #axahealth

Social Determinants of Health are the greatest factor that determines our health. Accountable Care Organizations have an outsized lift when it comes to social determinants of health, but also have the opportunity to make a tremendous impact in patients' lives! #socialdeterminantsofhealth #sdoh #populationhealth #populationhealthmanagement #aco #vbc #valuebasedhealthcare

Are you the crazy one? The rebel? The round peg in the square hole? Do you see things differently? We have created the Future Health HERo initiative with you in our mind, (inspired by Steve Jobs from 1997 and his famous manifesto): Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward! ... and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." — Steve Jobs, 1997 Steve's words spoke to you?

🎉 Wrapping up the 3-day marathon that was the Texas Association of Health Plans 2023 conference, I can't help but be in awe of Texas' progress, conscious of the size of the challenges that face the state, and optimistic about the future. Here are some of my top takeaways from Days 2&3: 📄 Texas Medicaid has new leadership and she’s got priorities: Emily Zalkovsky is a veteran of HHSC but she’s new to the Medicaid Director role and she’s here with clear priorities. That kind of direction is just what the field needs to engage and transform the delivery system. Expanding access to members, driving adoption of value based models, and expanding partnerships are just a few of her top 5 priorities. She’s clearly a leader to watch in this space. 💰 Value Based Care is here to stay y’all: It says a lot that Day 2 of the conference had a panel on some aspect of value based care during all time slots. It’s a reflection that the state of VBC is strong here in TX and it was great to see what models are working and seeing high levels of uptake (TCOC attributed to PCP still dominates the space) and to have honest conversations about what’s not working (need to move beyond ‘boilerplate’ models, need to involve specialty care, need to think about what types of providers are the right principal care provider—hint: it’s not always the PCP!) 🚩 Business as we know it no longer: A key thread running through the panel conversations and the conversations at the water cooler was the high level of disruption this space is experiencing. Whether it is the Medicaid redetermination process, the questions raised by artificial intelligence creeping into the workflows of both payers and providers, or the rising costs of RX due to GLP-1 and other high-cost pharmaceuticals, it is clear that 2023 was a year of turbulent change. And don’t look to 2024 for stability. I’ll have a full write up next week, for now, know that Texas is an exciting market for those looking to bring value into the health care ecosystem.
