Radio Advisory Advisory Board

Healthcare leaders have dozens of priorities on their plates, and achieving innovation is not as simple as just buying a new technology or implementing a new care model. Frankly, it can be overwhelming not just to see innovations through, but even to get started. So, what does it really take to innovate? And how do you align your organization’s challenges with the solutions or innovations that are being presented to you?


In this special episode, live from Advisory Board’s 2024 Clinical Innovation Summit, guest host and Advisory Board digital health expert John League invites Dr. Ayo Ajaiyeoba from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City, and Elliot Green, cofounder and CEO of Dandelion Health, to dive deep on the realities of innovation. Throughout the discussion, they explore what it takes to get started, how to act in the face of ambiguity, and how you should be thinking about tools like data and partnerships to achieve your goals.

It seems like a no-brainer for healthcare organizations to allocate time and attention to a health condition that is guaranteed to affect 50% of adults during their midlife years—but that hasn’t been the case.


We’re seeing momentum around making menopause mainstream—from the White House directing research funding, to Hollywood stars talking openly about menopause, to the rise of femtech companies geared toward helping consumers navigate the clinical and social effects of menopause. But though 100% of women in midlife will experience this clinical event, the reality is that most women’s health programs are primarily focused on what our guests have referred to in the past as the “bikini approach” to women’s health, and have largely ignored the needs of women in the post-reproductive years. From a clinical and financial standpoint, this is a missed opportunity. And given 80% of the healthcare workforce is women, and one-third of those women are in midlife, it’s also a competitive vulnerability.


That’s why this week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board women’s health experts Kara Marlatt and Gaby Marmolejos to explore how provider and employer leaders can build systems that account for and address women’s health needs “beyond the bikini.”

In recent years, we’ve seen large retailers like CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and even Amazon add to their care delivery portfolios, specifically through offering low-acuity primary care services. But it seems like the tide may be shifting. In April, Walmart announced that it’s shuttering its primary care operations and virtual care arm—and it’s not the only one scaling back. The fact is, a number of retailers are retrenching on primary care operations.


In this episode, host Abby Burns invites Advisory Board experts Vidal Seegobin, Natalie Trebes, and Eliza Dailey to unpack exactly why Walmart and other retailers are pulling back on primary care delivery, and why the conventional explanation –"healthcare is too complex”– falls short.

Generative AI is one of the most widely discussed topics in the industry today. There is continued excitement, mounting anxiety, and dozens of questions for health leaders to answer. While the healthcare industry has been working tirelessly to adapt to the almost unbelievable rate of change, many organizations struggle with how to ethically implement and scale Artificial Intelligence.


This week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Duke University Health System's Chief Information Officer, Dr. Eric Poon, to discuss how Duke has approached ethical implementation of AI—and how their efforts started long before ChatGPT existed. Throughout the conversation, they discuss the early challenges Duke faced, offer tactical guidance for successful implementation, and explain why proper governance is critical to ethical AI adoption.

The healthcare industry has been rocked by the pandemic and thrown headfirst into a new era of technological and therapeutic revolution. Yet, in the midst of all this change and uncertainty, healthcare leaders are expected not just to survive, but actually drive value for their organizations, patients, and communities. The problem is, “driving value” is not only complex, but it’s also ambiguous. Leaders who talk about value across the industry may not even be talking about the same thing. So, how should the industry think about driving value and what does it take to get this right?


In this episode, live from Advisory Board’s 2024 Value Summit, host Abby Burns invites Stacey Richter, healthcare entrepreneur, co-president of Aventria Health Group, and host of the Relentless Health Value podcast, to break down what “value” in healthcare actually means, where organizations go wrong, and how we can work to improve value across the industry.
