\n\nThe results of the 2024 elections are in: Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States, and we are all but certain to have a Republican trifecta at the federal level. Admittedly, there’s a lot we don’t know about what healthcare will look like under a second Trump administration—a lot will depend on who is appointed to key leadership positions overseeing federal health agencies and Congressional committees. But while we wait for those appointments, what can we anticipate based on President-elect Trump’s first term, campaign, and the Republican platform?
\n\nThis week, hosts Rachel (Rae) Woods and Abby Burns invite Advisory Board experts Natalie Trebes and Ben Palmer to break down the implications of a second Trump term on the healthcare industry. They unpack how power dynamics have shifted since the first administration, and what we’re likely to see on issues like the ACA, enhanced subsidies, Medicaid, drug pricing, abortion, and more.

\n\nThe Associated Press and other media outlets have called the presidential election for former Vice President Joe Biden (although legal challenges to ballots continue), and now the question that remains is: what will a Biden administration's health care priorities be? In this episode, Rae sits down with Advisory Board's Christopher Kerns to talk about what health care moves a Biden administration might make right away and what the Trump administration might do in the coming months before Inauguration Day.

\n\nJobs in the health care industry often come with demanding hours and inflexible work scenarios. As back to school season has resulted in unusual and variable schooling scenarios, women are taking on a disproportional childcare duties while serving on the frontline of a global pandemic.

\n\nThe healthcare industry's movement towards value-based care has been one of the biggest topics in healthcare over the past few years. In this episode, Rae sits down with Advisory Board's Ben Umansky and Natalie Trebes to talk about where the healthcare industry currently stands on the path to value-based care, how the COVID-19 epidemic is impacting the industry's movement down that path, and the questions providers should be asking themselves about risk.
\n\nAddressing systemic racism has taken the national spotlight for much of 2020, but the most important first step in addressing systemic racism is addressing the inherent racial biases we have. In this episode, Rae sits down with Advisory Board's Micha'le Simmons and Matt Cornner to discuss how to identify and address inherent racial bias, and how to work through the often uncomfortable feelings that come with addressing those biases.
\n\nMost health care executives know that workforce diversity is important, but the issue can often get lost among seemingly more urgent issues that need to be addressed. Rae talks with Micha'le Simmons, research lead with Advisory Board's HR Advancement Center, to discuss why workforce diversity should be a top priority for every health care organization and what executives can do to address workforce diversity both with the staff they already have, and when hiring new staff.
\n\nIn recent weeks, a number of large companies have made big announcements about wearables they're developing, from Amazon's Halo, to Fitbit's newest device, to the latest Apple Watch update.

\n\nThe Covid-19 epidemic has accelerated digital health in an unprecedented way, forcing health systems to examine their digital health strategy.

\n\nThe Covid-19 epidemic has already had a seismic effect on healthcare providers, and the impact is likely to last for a long time. In this episode of Radio Advisory, Rae sits down with Intermountain Healthcare CEO Marc Harrison for part one of a two-part conversation. Hear his perspective on how the Covid-19 epidemic will change the delivery of healthcare, including how he believes the epidemic will affect the telehealth, payment models, mergers and acquisitions, and more.
\n\nTo date, much of the news reporting on the path to a Covid-19 vaccine has focused on the development of the vaccine itself. But as Ezekiel Emanuel writes, finding a viable vaccine is just one of 22 steps that he argues the federal government and congress must make immediately. In this episode, Rachel (Rae) invites Zeke to discuss the challenges ahead, and shares why manufacturing and distributing an effective Covid-19 vaccine is something every leader in health care should start planning for now.
\n\nHost Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with Dr. Jeremy Boal, the Chief Clinical Officer of Mount Sinai Health System, to have a candid conversation about his experience being on the frontlines of a Covid-19 surge and why it is so important for health care leaders to remain vigilant during this time. In this episode, you'll hear what Mount Sinai did to make sure the health system stayed ahead of the novel coronavirus, what they might've done sooner given more time, and how leaders should cultivate a curiosity about what is yet to come in order to be prepared when it does.
\n\nIn this second episode on consolidation, Host Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with health system expert, Ben Umansky, to talk about the impact Covid-19 may have on hospital consolidation. For many years, experts have been predicting an extreme view of what hospitals could look like in the future—including a world of mega health systems and the death of the independent hospital. Together, Rae and Ben explore the how real that prediction is, unpack the true long-term impact of Covid-19 on consolidation, and offer the no-regrets tactics every organizations should take regardless of size.
\n\nIn the initial surge of Covid-19, many were expecting a buyer’s market for physician groups. Now that most independent groups have managed through the initial surge, these practices are looking for new partnership opportunities beyond acquisition. The desire for partnership is true on both sides–physician aggregators like private equity firms, health plans, health systems and other medical groups all have their eyes set on independent physicians and are re-evaluating what they can offer. Host Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with physician practice experts Sarah Hostetter and Julie Riley to talk about the current state of physician consolidation, the types of health care players forming partnerships, and how partnerships can build up and support independent practice.

","summary":"The realities of the pandemic mean that some physician groups will need to explore new partnership opportunities in order to weather the storm. However, it’s increasingly looking like there won’t be a major shakeup in physician ownership. Instead of looking to sell, independent practices are looking to maintain autonomy while exploring new opportunities for partnership. In this episode, Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with physician practice experts, Sarah Hostetter and Julie Riley, to give an update on physician practice financials, discuss the state of physician aggregation, and offer our perspective on the impact of Covid-19 on physician consolidation.

\n\nWhile many consumers seem willing to go to stores or out to eat amid the Covid-19 epidemic, they are not as willing to return to health care settings to see their doctors. Some are even unlikely to visit the ED if they have symptoms of a heart attack or appendicitis. How can health care leaders re-engage and communicate with their patients to alleviate their fears? Host Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with consumerism experts Rebecca Tyrrell and Colin Gelbaugh to talk about the results of Advisory Board’s newest consumer survey and how patient preferences should impact health system’s communication strategy.
