Turns out, seniors spend almost THREE WEEKS a year outside of their home to get healthcare. Think about how burdensome that is for them?! Moreso, 11% of all seniors spend 50 days or more...crazy. When we think about aging in place, this is why care in the home is so critical...

Talked to a health insurance exec at a brunch this AM. Asked him for some off the record thoughts on working with startups and what he really thought of pilots.
He said “It’s so cute that they think we’re serious. We just do them so our staff doesn’t get bored.”

We straight up need more home healthcare solutions.
It can’t be just outdated mom and pops, PE-backed rollups, Optum, Papa, Dispatch, and Signify.
We need smart, yet humble people to prepare for the tidal wave of demand.
What problems will you solve?
Medicaid “drives 44% more expenditure than commercial.” How can you accelerate adoption of your innovation while improving care for a disadvantaged population?
It’s time to read up on Medicaid related opportunities. @MadamMedicaid @AdimikaA

One of the best comments I heard today: we are in such a strange time in healthcare. We still send faxes but do surgeries using complete robotic functionality. It’s as if Fred Flintstone and George Jetson are trying to live together in the same house 🦖🤖
Get your vaccines. Minimize your risk of a hospital stay.
97% of the US Military (~1.3 million) was fully vaccinated by 2022.
The hospitalization rate in 2021 was the 3rd lowest rate of the past decade.
The hospitalization rate in 2022 was the lowest rate of the past decade.
The majority of hospitalizations were related to mental health disorders or pregnancy.
COVID-19 accounted for 1.5% of hospitalizations in 2021 & dropped 70% to under .5% in 2022.
Cancer (neoplasm) hospitalizations in 2020 & 2021 were identical & went down in 2022.
There was no measurable rise in circulatory system, immune disorder or nervous system hospitalizations.
Vaccines are not harming the young & healthy in the USA.
After the Shots
Back-to-School, Flu, Next Covid vaccine...
Vaccines are a hassle. They are also big drivers of public health.
Our family will be getting this seasons Flu and Covid shots soon. Please get yours for yourself and those you love.

One of the many reasons we need transformation of care delivery now:
Pushing the old algorithm too far ends up with a crisis–we need to invest in process before we need it, not when the emergency strikes. seths.blog/2023/09/the-big-o…
Flattery will get ChatGPT far, but the accuracy of the bio it wrote for me was lacking. #userbecareful
"Hey Google" got it right. Apple and Amazon with their Siri and Alexa personas dehumanized a lot of women.
Chat GPT should not masquerade a s a person.

Everyone can help save a life! Have #naloxone handy.

Site neutral payments are key to fairly and efficiently delivering right patient, right time, right place care. Consistent OOP for the patient will be essential to driving easy omni-channel access. Thanks @Farzad_MD for sharing this synthesis.
1/ You know what's one of the hottest issues right now in healthcare policy?
site neutral payments.
(@tradeoffspod @dmgorenstein episode just out)
one issue merits more discussion - would they be implemented in a way that saves money or holds total hospital payments neutral?
NaxSwab OTC is a simple, ready-to-use naloxone nasal swab demonstrating faster early absorption. prn.to/3UBzz4Q
Rainboots and business cards on order, sufficient umbrellas in house, and now I have my mantra (below) ... ready for #JPM2023.
Proud to be a part of making naloxone more widely available. #opioidcrisis #healthcare #innovation wsj.com/articles/opioid-over… via @WSJ
