🚨🗣️ Pep Guardiola on whether he'd manage the England national team or not: "I don’t have any plans about my future, except to rest and recover the time I missed with my kids. Many things I’ve not done, I want to do."
"I don’t for one second think about anything related to football for the next years. I don’t think about it. I need to rest. I need to see what happened in my 17, 18 years in my time at Barcelona, Germany, and here. After we’ll see what happens."
More #AI innovations @ClevelandClinic, as @tremartyn discusses research he presented at #ACC25 on the use of artificial intelligence in screening for transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis clinical trials.
There is no question that we should reprice mispriced codes in the fee schedule, but FFS is ultimately limited in advancing the goals of physician payment reform
More population-based payments (for primary care and total cost of care) can help finance care that is hard to price and ease the tradeoff between cost containment and access (otherwise front and center when the cost containment = constraining fee growth)
This means that reform needs to consider the role of population-based payment in how the the various pieces fit together
In this piece, I consider:
A) the purpose of the APM bonus, which actually has deeper connections to sound benchmarking in ACO models than often appreciated
B) how a well-designed version of the APM bonus resembles more generous primary care capitation for ACO providers
C) how policymakers should have a higher comfort level going further with primary care payment reform in the context of ACO contracts, and
D) how we might therefore think about achieving several goals - pulling several pieces together - under the guise of holistic primary care payment reform that considers intersections with TCOC population-based payment...
True story: At CNBC, in a prior career, I covered an upstart health plan that really believed that tech - specifically machine learning/AI - would be the core lever to drive behavioral change for its Medicare population. That would improve outcomes & drive down costs. The plan hired a whole data science/engineering team with that thesis and raised tens of millions from tech VCs.
I recall speaking to the employees some years later, many of whom were looking for alternative roles at software companies.
Can you guess what the most effective intervention was of everything they tried?
A nurse visit to the home. Nothing else compared.

"We show that increased immigration significantly raises the staffing levels of nursing homes in the U.S., particularly in full time positions. We then show that this has an associated very positive effect on patient outcomes"

"You've got one industry that's fucked up and three players that fuck it up and now it's my turn to fuck them up."
In just 9 months, Mark Cuban's pharmaceutical company has generated over $25M in revenue while saving people millions of dollars.
Here's how they did it:
“Americans have been trained for 100 years to think that the hospital is the best place to be, the safest place. But we have strong evidence that the outcomes are actually better at home.”
The hospital-at-home movement is just getting started
