  1. Battling physician burnout, one rap at a time

    Battling physician burnout, one rap at a time

    How many doctors have more than a million Facebook followers, their own YouTube channel, and a stage name? Zubin Damania, also known as ZDogg, MD, has carved out a unique niche – and a booming social media franchise – by skewering the dysfunction and absurdity at the core of what he calls "Health 2.0." For this episode of "Decoding Healthcare," athenahealth's CMO Kevin Ban, M.D., and podcast host Jessica Sweeney-Platt enjoy a wide-ranging conversation with Zubin about his twisty path from hospitalist to healthcare entrepreneur to the “constructive disruptor" he is today. We dig into the roots of and remedies for provider burnout, the failed promise of the data-hungry, soul-crushing EHR, and the role of collegiality and connection in restoring joy to medicine. We even get Zubin to freestyle some of the findings from athenahealth's recent survey on organizational capability. Who can't get down to that beat?

    Introducing the brick-and-mortarless hospital

    If the word "telehealth" conjures up for you images of scrappy startups challenging big hospital behemoths, get ready to check your assumptions. In this episode of "Decoding Healthcare," we learn how one of the largest health systems in the U.S. is disrupting itself, and virtualizing care, to better serve its patients and mission. Hosts Jessica Sweeney-Platt and Kevin Ban, M.D., hear from Marc Harrison, M.D., president and CEO of Utah-based Intermountain Healthcare, about how the 40-year-old nonprofit is striving to make high-quality care more affordable and accessible across a vast, largely rural region the size of the U.K. Harrison describes what it took to streamline 35 different telehealth programs into a “virtual hospital" with both B2C and B2B offerings. And we learn about the leadership challenges Marc faced – and the positive ripple effects he's seen – moving an old ship through new waters.
