    Episode 13 - Why American Healthcare Is Failing: A Medical Assessment

    SUBSCRIBE NOW - Season 2 coming soon! In Episode 13, hosts Jo O’Hanlon and Dr. Elisha Yaghmai close out Season 1 of the podcast by talking through Elisha's insights on why American Healthcare is failing all of us, regardless of insurance coverage, location, or socio-economic standing.   His assessment is built from his personal experiences we've gone through this season: Medical school, his medical career in myriad care settings and locations, creating healthcare innovations as one of the first pioneers of telemedicine care models, and starting a telemed healthcare business that eventually also included a physical clinic. America's healthcare system is broken and failing all of those that it is supposed to serve: Whether you feel the pressure as it crumbles or not, it is affecting all of us in ways most of us don't even see.  We hope that by educating viewers/listeners on the cracks in our broken healthcare system, we can begin to peel back the layers and learn and understand what's not working, why it's not working, and how we got here. Together we can find a better way.  **** Credits: Dr. Elisha Yaghmai, M.D. - Host, Executive Producer  Jo O'Hanlon - Host, Set Design, Producer Monica Salmeron - Director, Producer  Alexis Cruz - Videographer  Austin Engler - Video Editor Harmony Marketing - Marketing & Production **** Dear Healthcare, It's You: A new podcast investigating the failing US healthcare system and what we can do to change it.

    Episode 12 - Lobbying & Legislation: How Laws Affect Healthcare

    In Episode 12 hosts Jo O’Hanlon and Dr. Elisha Yaghmai dive into the process of lobbying in the United States and how it plays a role in legislation changes that specifically can affect healthcare options in America. Hear about the final events that led to legislation being passed finally requiring health insurance providers to cover telemedicine services after Elisha and his team had been fighting for that for 5 years to no avail.  The state legislation they finally got passed in Kansas was the first of its kind in the US, requiring insurance companies to pay for virtual services, and requiring them to not block healthcare providers from becoming certified as a preferred provider on their payer panel just because they were doing telemedicine.  The law finally went into effect in Jan 2019, which helped pave the way for nationwide adoption of the same policies 15 months later as the Covid-19 Pandemic became widespread.  At the end of it all, the biggest lesson learned is that our bureaucratic systems and the parties with the most power in healthcare can and do stand in the way of innovation. Implementing improvements in our healthcare system (or any system) in America shouldn’t be this hard.  Hear all about it in this episode.

    Episode 11 - Cost of Caring: The Personal Toll of Improving American Healthcare

    In Episode 11 hosts Jo O’Hanlon and Dr. Elisha Yaghmai take a step aside to talk about Elisha’s personal suffering during the early years of building a telehealth business (a new innovation for the US healthcare system at the time). Through several initial years of not getting paid for their telemedicine services, Elisha and his partners encountered one hurdle after another. Eventually, his partners pulled out of the venture, leaving Elisha at the helm alone to face extreme hardship on both professional and personal levels. But he saw that they had actually created something that solved a major gap in access to healthcare in America, he couldn’t let himself stop until he saw it become a reality. How does a change-maker, a leader in industry innovation feel when they’re hustling to make something happen for the world and they’re blocked at every turn? How do they feel when their partners leave and it’s just them alone left pushing for the acceptance of something revolutionary? How does it feel to pay such a high personal cost to make the world better? Hear about what drove Elisha to keep going even when the journey took such a great personal toll on him.  **** Credits: Dr. Elisha Yaghmai, M.D. - Host, Executive Producer  Jo O'Hanlon - Host, Set Design, Producer Monica Salmeron - Director, Producer  Ben Laffen - Videographer  Austin Engler - Video Editor Harmony Marketing - Marketing & Production **** Watch on YouTube or Listen on your favorite podcast app. Subscribe and get a peak behind the curtain of what really goes on in failing the American Healthcare System.

    Episode 10 - Telemedicine: How Health Insurance Providers Blocked Innovation

    In Episode 10, Dr. Elisha Yaghmai continues telling the story of the history of Telemedicine in America and the role he played in it. In episode 9, Elisha shared how he came up with the idea of using untapped technology to solve access to healthcare in rural communities.  But health insurance blocked their progress, refusing to offer coverage (and thus payment) again, and again, and again.  After several years of battling, Elisha and his team finally were able to get new legislation passed that required Insurance companies to cover telemedicine and teleheath in the State of Kansas, and which would be a president for getting coverage nationwide the following year. Hear all about their battle and how they finally won in this episode.

    Episode 9: Digital Healthcare: Pioneers in the Future of Healthcare Technology

    In this episode, Dr. Elisha Yaghmai tells the story of how he came up with the idea for using telehealth to solve some of the systemic issues he’d encountered in rural communities in theory remedying healthcare disparities for those communities. In 2024 we’re all familiar with virtual doctor appointments and other online primary care services. Many of us have utilized these services and they’ve become standard since their widespread introduction in the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.  Several years before that, in 2014, Elisha was facing physician burnout. Burdened by administrative loopholes and pitfalls, systemic neglect, and unethical practices (like hospitals concealing death rates), Elisha was angry every day. Desperate for a change, he was seeking a new way to help in healthcare. He figured out a way for virtual medical care to work, got other doctors on board, figured out what technology would work together to do it at a very low price point, recruited rural hospitals that wanted to implement this new service, and began practicing AND IT WORKED.  They had effectively solved the access to healthcare, except for one thing — they couldn’t get paid. Insurance wouldn’t cover it. And thus ensued a years long battle with one of the largest, most problematic portions of our healthcare system: Health insurance. More on that next week… Watch or listen in to get a peak behind the curtain of what really goes on in failing the American Healthcare System. **** Credits: Dr. Elisha Yaghmai, M.D. - Host, Executive Producer  Jo O'Hanlon - Host, Set Design, Producer Monica Salmeron - Director, Producer  Ben Laffen - Videographer  Austin Engler - Video Editor Harmony Marketing - Marketing & Production **** Dear Healthcare, It’s You — A new podcast investigating the broken U.S. Healthcare system.

    Episode 8 - Burnout: Insurance Coding & Psychological Corrosion

    In this episode, Elisha and Jo discuss the systemic issues in American Healthcare that brought Elisha to his first major experience of professional burnout. While still working in Seattle, Elisha started to experience more and more fatigue and psychological corrosion from working as a physician in a hospital setting. He doesn’t simply attribute his burnout to the seemingly unceasing work schedule he was under at the time, but rather that it was that paired with the mental taxation from the insurance hoops physicians were expected to jump through. Elisha explains how he was expected to code patients for billing in ways that ultimately can and do contribute to more systemic issues down the line — not just for patients, but for everyone (except possibly insurance companies)… Come back next week to hear what Elisha did next in the face of burnout which led him to a major shift in his professional trajectory.

    Episode 7 - Too Much Of A Good Thing: Working At A Multi-Hospital System

    In this episode, Elisha moves to Seattle to work as a hospitalist in a multi-hospital system — the complete opposite end of the spectrum of care from what he had just been experiencing as a hospitalist in a rural hospital in small-town Kansas.  In his role in Seattle, Elisha encounters two more major systemic flaws in the medical system: 1. Patients being subjected to continued treatment beyond what is kind or beneficial. Regularly, Elisha was faced with being one of many physicians on a patient’s case and being faced with a position where the patient’s quality of life was diminishing or just completely gone, but the families or decision makers who were looking for some sort of hope were continually sold on extended measures of care by other physicians in the system. This situation time and time again prolonged patients’ suffering, gave family members false hope, and wracked up more and more debt that would eventually fall to the family to pay once the patient had died.  2. Patients being irresponsibly and unnecessarily admitted to the hospital without any treatment or method of intervention even being attempted before admitting them. Elisha gives several examples of this, including those with incorrect information like the patient that was supposedly unresponsive, who Elisha found to be sitting up, conscious and coherent, having no idea why they’d admitted him, even though he resisted the admittance.  Through his time in Seattle, Elisha was exposed to incredibly diverse and difficult cases, which helped him learn an immense amount. However, he also got a look into the bowels of the profit-seeking nature of the larger healthcare beast in a way that would change his professional trajectory. More on that next week… Watch or listen in to get a peak behind the curtain of what really goes into becoming a doctor in America and how that influences the healthcare the American public actually receives.  **** Credits: Dr. Elisha Yaghmai, M.D. - Host, Executive Producer  Jo O'Hanlon - Host, Set Design, Producer Monica Salmeron - Director, Producer  Ben Laffen - Videographer  Austin Engler - Video Editor Harmony Marketing - Marketing & Production **** Dear Healthcare, It’s You — A new podcast investigating the broken U.S. Healthcare system.

    Episode 6 - Too Little, Too Late: Practicing Medicine at a Rural Hospital

    In this episode, we hear from Elisha about his move to a small rural community in Kansas to become the town’s hospitalist. While there, Elisha gets to exercise his medical skill autonomy — for better or worse — where there are few of the resources that larger city hospitals have.  Because the hospital in Parsons, Kan. has so few staff physicians and clinical resources, Elisha is forced to lean on a standard procedure in many rural hospitals: Bringing in relief doctors from elsewhere to cover the hospital any time a local hospitalist cannot work, such as on nights, or weekends. On his return to the hospital, Elisha finds a patient nearing death due to the gross negligence of the physician who had been covering the hospital and is faced with the reality that he cannot stop this physician from being brought on again and again at other hospitals across the nation. Elisha also encounters problems with the fractured healthcare system that can make it extremely difficult to transfer a patient in need to a more robust facility.  Constantly faced with situations where the facility and staff are not able to serve patients with the level of care they need, the time in Parsons wears on Elisha, and ultimately ends up being a short chapter in his early professional life before he moves to the opposite end of the spectrum of care in Seattle, Washington. More on that next week… Watch or listen in to get a peak behind the curtain of what really goes into becoming a doctor in America and how that influences the healthcare the American public actually receives.  **** Credits: Dr. Elisha Yaghmai, M.D. - Host, Executive Producer  Jo O'Hanlon - Host, Set Design, Producer Monica Salmeron - Director, Producer  Ben Laffen - Videographer  Austin Engler - Video Editor Harmony Marketing - Marketing & Production **** Dear Healthcare, It’s You — A new podcast investigating the broken U.S. Healthcare system.
