Radio Advisory Advisory Board

It's no secret that healthcare is becoming more and more personalized – or “bespoke” – as increasingly sophisticated diagnostics and therapeutics continue to explode into the market. This vast pipeline is redefining the industry in several ways—but there is real risk associated if the stakeholders responsible for developing, delivering, and paying for these innovations aren’t baking health equity into their business models.


Last week, in the first episode of our run up to the Advisory Board Clinical Innovation Summit: Revolutions in Specialty Care, we discussed Advisory Board’s prediction for the future of oncology. This week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board experts Amanda Okaka and Fanta Cherif to break down the health equity conundrum presented by precision medicine: Will precision medicine reduce health disparities, or exacerbate them? The answer depends on the actions—big and small—of industry leaders.

There has been a lot of change in the oncology space in the last few years. These changes have brought new pressures, like workforce strain, increased competition, rising spend, and more. While many leaders are worried about the "right now," it is crucial to consider how you can best position yourself for the future of cancer care.


That's why, in this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board specialty care experts Lindsey Paul and Julia Elder to discuss why preparing for the future means making changes today. Throughout the conversation, they discuss how current pressures are changing the field of oncology and four ways cancer care will change by 2030.

According to economist Jim Rebitzer and healthcare consultant Bob Rebitzer, the healthcare industry has failed in achieving what many other sectors have accomplished – improving products, while simultaneously reducing costs over time.


In this episode, recorded live at The Players 2024 Championship, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invited Jim and Bob to discuss the central premise of their book, Why Not Better and Cheaper? They discussed the root causes of this challenge – including incentives, prevailing professional and social norms, and competition – that the industry must confront to deliver better and cheaper healthcare.

Radio Advisory has commemorated Nurses Week every year since we started production in April 2020. A lot has changed since the early days of the pandemic, but the reality is that we’re still grappling with a workforce crisis defined by rising burnout, turnover, and shortages. Celebrating nurses just one week out of the year will not suffice in addressing these complex issues.


In this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with Advisory Board nursing experts Monica Westhead, Allyson Paiewonsky, and Ali Knight to discuss why the industry needs to pivot towards more sustainable strategies for their care teams, what leaders should be thinking about when training and supporting nurses, and why "top-of-license care" is an incomplete solution.

In this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites the 24th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Alex Azar to discuss what "transformation" actually means, what conditions need to be in place to mitigate financial loss, and what leaders can do to advance towards industry-wide transformation.

You might be burned out from talking about burnout. But the truth is, healthcare workers are still suffering from high administrative burden, reduced autonomy, and a cycle of turnover and retirements that we cannot escape. In response, industry leaders are looking to the latest and greatest technologies to unburden their workforce and improve the mental wellbeing of their staff. But will the promise of a tech-enabled clinical workforce live up to the hype?


In this special episode, recorded live from ViVE 2024, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Dr. Nele Jessel, Chief Medical Officer at athenahealth, Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld, President of the American Medical Association, Dr. Syl Trepanier, SVP and System Chief Nursing Officer at Providence, and Dr. Tina Shah, Chief Clinical Officer at Abridge, to discuss the state of the workforce crisis, how new technologies are redefining work, and why emerging technologies like AI might not be a silver bullet.
