Closing the Evidence Gap: What Happens When Evidence Reaches the Chart Most of the decisions made in your clinics today will not be backed by evidence about a patient like the one in the chair. Not because nobody studied it, but because the patient had two other conditions, or was seventy-eight, or was pregnant, and got excluded from the trial. Then they showed up anyway, and somebody had to decide. Brigham Hyde co-founded Atropos Health out of research that began at Stanford, where a doctor could ask what the data said about the patient in front of them and get an answer back in a day or two. This year that work moved into the EHR workflow itself. In this episode: • Know which clinical questions your literature tools answer, and which they never will. • Understand what evidence in the EHR workflow needs from informatics before go-live. • Learn how clinician review fits in without adding steps to the visit. • Hear how CMIOs are evaluating this category right now To stream our Station live 24/7 visit www.HealthcareNOWRadio.com or ask your Smart Device to “….Play Healthcare NOW Radio”.

Dr. Nick and Dr. Craig discuss a range of topics including: (1) vaccines, COVID and flu shots may come with a rough day, but there's a payoff reducing the risk of serious illness, hospitalization and worse; (2) AI-enabled documentation can capture care that was previously missed, but there’s a fine line between accurate coding and genuine upcoding; (3) whenever technology creates new revenue opportunities, someone will inevitably find a way to game the system; (4) OpenEvidence and its Doximity lawsuit raises questions about legal strategy; and (5) Orthosomnia and Sleep trackers can reveal useful trends, but obsessing over the numbers may actually make sleep worse.

Why hasn't a decade of value-based care bent the cost curve? On this episode host Fred Goldstein talks with David Muhlestein, PhD, JD, founder and CEO of Simple Healthcare, about the variable health reform has largely left alone: price. Drawing on years of ACO research and on federal price transparency data, Muhlestein explains how the same provider can be paid very different amounts for the same billing code depending on the insurer, why episode-level analysis beats claim-level repricing, and how self-insured employers can act on the gap through steerage, reference-based pricing, direct contracting and centers of excellence. He also unpacks "ghost rates," the negotiated prices listed for services providers never perform, which make up the large majority of insurer transparency files, and previews a consumer tool that uses AI to translate plain-language questions into total episode prices.

Securing the Machine Workforce: Identity, Zero Trust, and the Recovery Plan for When It Still Goes Wrong with Ben Smith of SailPoint Zero trust sounds simple until you try to implement it in a hospital where clinicians share devices, legacy systems can't be segmented, patients access care virtually across state lines, and AI agents are multiplying faster than you can inventory them. Add ambient AI documenting patient encounters, remote patient monitoring streaming data 24/7, and third-party algorithms making clinical recommendations, and suddenly "healthcare everywhere" becomes a CISO's nightmare. This panel cuts through the theory to reveal what actually works when you're securing distributed care, AI-powered workflows, and thousands of identities, human and non-human, that don't fit traditional security models. • Implementing zero trust without disrupting patient care or alienating clinicians • Taking control of AI agent identities • Medical device segmentation when legacy won't retire • Adaptive identity for clinicians and patients • Measuring security success in healthcare everywhere To stream our Station live 24/7 visit www.HealthcareNOWRadio.com or ask your Smart Device to “….Play Healthcare NOW Radio”.

Host Adam Russo invites Keith Smith, M.D, Medical Director at Surgery Center of Oklahoma to discuss transparent healthcare pricing and market-driven reforms. Dr. Smith discusses the founding of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma and its pioneering approach to posting all-inclusive, bundled prices online, which initially faced skepticism but eventually led to increased quality and lower costs in the local market. The model attracted self-funded employers and uninsured patients, and described the growth of the Free Market Medical Association (FMMA), which he co-founded to connect healthcare buyers and sellers.
