Radio Advisory Advisory Board

Women experience healthcare differently compared to men – women consistently have worse outcomes when it comes to chronic diseases, feel unheard, and are oftentimes left out of education and research. Women's health also gets conflated with maternal health, but we know women's health is so much bigger than pregnancy.


Improving women's health outcomes requires a more holistic approach to caring for women, but allocating more dollars when working with limited resources may feel unsustainable to some organizations.


In this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board's Gaby Marmolejos, Kara Marlatt, and Ellie Wiles to discuss why there's a strong business case to better meet women's needs, including but not limited to maternal health.

It's no secret that the US is in the midst of a behavioral health crisis—and with the impacts of unmet need affecting every corner of the industry, many leaders are feeling powerless to sustainably address it.


In this episode, guest host Abby Burns invites ChristianaCare's Chief Biopsychosocial Officer, Erin Booker, to discuss how Erin is driving—and making the case for—a comprehensive and holistic behavioral health care strategy.

In the past few months, we have talked a lot about high-cost drugs. We've done episodes on new innovations, equity implications, the rise of weight management drugs and more. While there is a lot to be excited about, there is a lot to be anxious about too, like high costs and impending legislation. A lot of the industry is tempted to "wait and see" what the new era of drugs will bring, but the reality is that "new era" is already here.


That's why, in this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board pharmacy experts Rachael Peroutky and Chloe Bakst to discuss how the industry should be thinking about this new era of drugs, and why healthcare organizations can't afford to sit around today and strategize later.

It is no question that we are in an unprecedented era of technological change. Large language models and the rise of generative AI have dominated industry conversations in recent months, and for good reasons. It's clear that AI is here to stay, but what isn't so clear is how the industry should adopt it. Should you run headfirst into experimentation? Or wait for data and case studies before implementation?


In this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board digital health experts Ty Aderhold and Elysia Culver to discuss how the industry needs to be thinking about AI adoption and integration. Throughout the conversation, they discuss what we can (and cannot) learn from past technologies, what it means to be an "early mover" or "fast follower," and why taking an incremental approach can empower your business strategy.

During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, the federal government and insurers implemented several measures to expand coverage options and better ensure ease of access to healthcare services. One of the most significant policies was the expansion of Medicaid programs and the requirement that individuals be continuously enrolled through the end of the PHE. The expanded eligibility ended when the PHE expired in May 2023, and the industry is reeling from the whiplash of coverage changes. In this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board health plan experts Chelsea Needham and Sally Kim to discuss what you need to know about Medicaid redeterminations, how health plans are responding, and what this means for the healthcare industry.

As healthcare organizations look for ways to weather financial hardships, many leaders are looking at strategic partnerships to sustain their business. The word "partnership" gets thrown around a lot in healthcare and can mean a lot of different things. But what defines a good partnership, and how do you know if one is right for your organization?


In this episode, Host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites John Muir Chief Strategy Officer George Sauter and President of Optum's Market Performance Partnership Chris Pass to discuss why they decided to partner back in 2019, what they've gained, where they had to compromise, and how they define success.
