News You Can Use with hosts Dr. Nick & Dr. Craig. Tune in each month for healthcare news that Dr. Nick and Dr. Craig think you should know and what you can use.

This month: Shots, Bots & Lawsuits. Topics include: Vaccines, COVID and flu shots may come with a rough day, but there’s a payoff reducing the risk of serious illness, hospitalization and worse. AI-enabled documentation can capture care that was previously missed, but there’s a fine line between accurate coding and genuine upcoding. Whenever technology creates new revenue opportunities, someone will inevitably find a way to game the system. OpenEvidence to the judge. “No thanks” to a court demand for information in its Doximity lawsuit raises questions about legal strategy. Orthosomnia and Sleep trackers can reveal useful trends, but obsessing over the numbers may actually make sleep worse. Sometimes the smartest dashboard is the one you stop watching.

Value-Based Care Insights was started to empower health care organization leaders with the actionable guidance and strategic knowledge you need to optimize performance, as well as meet the demands of this increasingly complex health care environment. Care management is often viewed as one component of value-based care. But what if it is actually the engine that drives the entire model? On this episode host Daniel Marino sits down with Patty Resnik, a healthcare executive with deep experience in care management, population health, quality, and value-based care, to explore what it takes to build a high-performing and financially sustainable care management model. For organizations looking to move beyond value-based care contracts and build the infrastructure needed to improve outcomes, reduce avoidable utilization, and create a stronger patient experience, this conversation offers a practical look at where care management can make the greatest impact.

PopHealth Week (@PopHealthWeek) is brought to you by Health Innovation Media and discusses population health strategies for providers with your hosts Gregg Masters and Fred Goldstein. Why hasn’t a decade of value-based care bent the cost curve? On this episode host Fred Goldstein talks with David Muhlestein, PhD, JD, founder and CEO of Simple Healthcare, about the variable health reform has largely left alone: price. Drawing on years of ACO research and on federal price transparency data, Muhlestein explains how the same provider can be paid very different amounts for the same billing code depending on the insurer, why episode-level analysis beats claim-level repricing, and how self-insured employers can act on the gap through steerage, reference-based pricing, direct contracting and centers of excellence.

Show rebroadcasts at 5:30am, 1:30pm, and 9:30pm ET every weekday.

2:00 pm ET

Healthcare’s network defenders understand the core mission of cybersecurity is patient safety and the longstanding challenges that make effective remediation incredibly difficult. The complexity and scope of healthcare infrastructure leave many with vulnerable blind spots and a long list of action items, often without the staff, resources, or time to complete. Join host Jessica Davis and her guests on Health Stealth Radio for no-holds-bar insights into lessons learned, trends and news that actually matter, and where to find resources and support. All healthcare cyber facts – without the snake oil. On this episode Jessica invites Tara Lansing-Deis, Principal Security Consultant of First Health Advisory to talk about tactical, reactive approaches to medical device security in the clinical setting, as well as training needs for health tech management teams.

Show rebroadcasts at 7:00am, 3:00pm, and 11:00pm ET every weekday.

3:30 pm ET 

Digital Health Talks is a show featuring healthcare providers using technology to improve access to healthcare, patient experience, and clinical outcomes.

On this episode host Megan Antonelli is joined by Ben Smith, CISSP, Strategic Agentic Technology Specialist at SailPoint.

Zero trust sounds simple until you try to implement it in a hospital where clinicians share devices, legacy systems can’t be segmented, patients access care virtually across state lines, and AI agents are multiplying faster than you can inventory them. Add ambient AI documenting patient encounters, remote patient monitoring streaming data 24/7, and third-party algorithms making clinical recommendations, and suddenly “healthcare everywhere” becomes a CISO’s nightmare. This panel cuts through the theory to reveal what actually works when you’re securing distributed care, AI-powered workflows, and thousands of identities, human and non-human, that don’t fit traditional security models.

Show rebroadcasts at 7:30am, 3:30pm and 11:30pm ET every weekday.

4:00 pm ET New Show!

Welcome to Revenue Cycle Optimized, where real conversations across healthcare become practical insights for improving revenue cycle performance. Hosted by Stuart Newsome, the show brings together healthcare leaders, frontline professionals, revenue cycle experts, technology innovators, and other voices shaping the industry. Each episode draws on what we’re hearing across the market to explore real challenges, emerging trends, what’s working, and what healthcare organizations need to know to navigate an evolving revenue cycle. For a high-volume radiology organization, reverification involves more than running eligibility a second time. On this episode Stuart explores how to identify the right appointments, time the work appropriately, and respond when updated coverage changes the patient estimate, network status, or prior authorization requirements.

Show rebroadcasts at 8:00am, 4:00pm, and 12:00am ET every weekday.

4:30 pm ET

Talking the Walk is all about diving into real conversations that inspire, challenge, and move us forward, no shortcuts, just authentic journeys. Let’s take this first step together and start walking the talk! What does leadership look like as healthcare’s digital transformation continues to accelerate? On this episode host Tom Testa sits down with Calli Dretke, Executive Vice President and Chief Digital and Marketing Officer at CHIME, for a preview of CHIME26 Fall Forum, taking place November 11–14 in Denver. Dretke shares what makes Fall Forum unique, what attendees can expect from this year’s “Leadership, Elevated” theme, and how CHIME is creating opportunities for candid peer-to-peer conversations, interactive learning and meaningful connections among healthcare’s digital leaders. She also reflects on CHIME’s 35th anniversary, how the role of the healthcare CIO has evolved, and why community remains so important as leaders navigate the next era of healthcare technology.

Show rebroadcasts at 8:30am, 4:30pm, and 12:30am ET every weekday.

5:00 pm ET

The Shahid Shah Show – Straight talk on what works, what fails, and what the healthcare technology industry can learn from both. Hosted by Shahid Shah, a CTO with 25+ patents, two decades of hands-on health IT / med device / payer IT experience, and deep connections across hospitals, vendors, and government agencies. On the episode Shahid explains that deals often fail late in the process due to a single unseen stakeholder exercising a veto, highlighting the need for vendors to map this consortium rather than relying solely on a single champion. The discussion details how to identify key decision-makers and potential objectors, emphasizing the importance of understanding who gains or loses from a deal.

Show rebroadcasts at 9:00am, 5:00pm, and 1:00am ET every weekday.

When it comes to containing costs in healthcare, everyone has their two cents to give. But what do the real experts have to say? Tune in to Health Cent$ with Adam V. Russo, Esq., CEO and Co-Founder of The Phia Group, the show that gets right to the bottom line. Each week Adam and his guests make sense of it all by sharing their expertise and insights on effective ways to reduce the burden of costs while improving quality outcomes for patients. On this episode Adam invites Keith Smith, M.D, Medical Director at Surgery Center of Oklahoma to discuss transparent healthcare pricing and market-driven reforms. Dr. Smith discusses the founding of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma and its pioneering approach to posting all-inclusive, bundled prices online, which initially faced skepticism but eventually led to increased quality and lower costs in the local market. The model attracted self-funded employers and uninsured patients, and described the growth of the Free Market Medical Association (FMMA), which he co-founded to connect healthcare buyers and sellers.

Show rebroadcasts at 2:00am, 10:00am, and 6:00pm ET every weekday.
