    Why Membership Medicine Could Save Primary Care w/ Larry Kutscher, CEO, MDVIP

    Primary care physicians are burning out, and patients are paying the price. With the average primary care visit lasting just 15 minutes, the volume-based treadmill is pushing doctors out of the profession and leaving patients without meaningful, preventive care.  Larry Kutscher, CEO of MDVIP, joins host John Marchica to make the case for a fundamentally different model. They dig into why membership medicine may be the structural fix that value-based care never delivered, and how reducing patient panels from thousands to hundreds could be the key to restoring both physician fulfillment and long-term patient outcomes.  ================================================  🎙 ABOUT LARRY KUTSCHER  Larry has over 30 years of executive leadership experience driving transformation and growth for industry-defining businesses with a passion for building and inspiring high-performing teams, cultivating winning organizational cultures and creating value through operational innovation.

  2. Why Health Care Treats Instead of Prevents w/ Dr. Barry R. Davis, Author, The Preventioneers

    Why Health Care Treats Instead of Prevents w/ Dr. Barry R. Davis, Author, The Preventioneers

    Health care spends trillions treating disease, but far less preventing it. The gap between what we know works and what actually gets implemented may be the most expensive problem in medicine.  Dr. Barry Davis, physician, professor, and author of Preventioneers, joins host John Marchica to explore why prevention so rarely makes it from research to reality, and what it would take for health system leaders to finally close that gap. ================================================  🎙 ABOUT DR. BARRY R. DAVIS  Barry R. Davis is a physician-scientist, biostatistician, and clinical trialist whose career has centered on prevention — not only as a medical strategy, but as a societal responsibility.  He is Professor Emeritus of Biostatistics and Data Science at UTHealth Houston School of Public Health, where he previously served as Chair of the Department and Director of the Coordinating Center for Clinical Trials. He also held the Guy S. Parcel Chair in Public Health. Based in Houston and the Texas Medical Center, his work has shaped national and international approaches to cardiovascular prevention.  Dr. Davis served as Principal Investigator of ALLHAT, one of the largest hypertension trials ever conducted, and led SHEP, a landmark study demonstrating the benefits of treating systolic hypertension in older adults. He also held leadership roles in the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program (HDFP). He contributed to the early development of the SPRINT trial and later served on its Data and Safety Monitoring Committee.  In addition to directing large-scale trials, he has served on more than 150 Data and Safety Monitoring Committees and held leadership roles in national and international professional societies.  Across decades of clinical research and public health leadership, a recurring question emerged: Why does prevention so often struggle to gain traction, even when the evidence is strong?  Scientific insight alone does not guarantee action. Institutional incentives, political pressures, economic resistance, and human psychology shape whether early warnings are heeded. That inquiry ultimately led to The Preventioneers: Diseases, Disasters, and the Discoveries  That Changed Our World (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2026), a narrative history exploring how individuals across disciplines recognized danger early and what allowed some to succeed where others stalled.  Today, Dr. Davis writes and speaks about prevention, leadership, and the persistent gap between knowledge and action, offering perspective on how societies can respond more effectively to emerging risks before harm becomes widespread.  🎙 ABOUT HEALTH CARE ROUNDS  Health Care Rounds is a weekly podcast developed for health care leaders who are at the forefront of health care delivery and payment reform.

    The VA is one of the largest integrated health systems in the country, but it operates unlike anything in the private sector.
