Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Healing the Gun Violence Epidemic through Health System Action
Q: Tell me, was there a particular experience or set of experiences that changed the way that you thought about gun violence and transitioned from not only as an injury that needed to be operated on, but actually as a public health crisis?
He describes recognizing gun violence as a public health issue with recurrence and geographic drivers, not just isolated events, and stresses the need to address underlying risk and protective factors through community and policy work.
Advancing Health Equity in a Time of Retrenchment: On Equity, Value, and the Work Ahead
Q: Lynn, let's start by making sure we're all using the term equity in the same way. What is equity and why is it important?
Equity is a state where everyone in every community can thrive, with access to resources and opportunities needed to optimize health, recognizing that different groups have different needs and thus require tailored supports to reach universal health goals.
How CMMI’s Mission Remains the Same Despite Changes in Leadership
Q: Abe, shifting gears slightly, drug pricing has emerged as a central policy issue. How do you see CMMI's role in addressing affordability while staying focused on delivery system transformation?
CMMI cannot set prices, but it can influence prices and access through delivery system innovations, value-based payment for drugs, outcome-based contracts, and strategies that promote biosimilars and efficient use of high-cost therapies, all while maintaining accountability through tested models.
Rethinking Leadership for Academic Medical Centers: Navigating the Challenges
Q: What advice would you give younger professionals aiming for AMC leadership roles?
Actively manage your career by articulating aspirations, seek mentors and sponsors, pursue opportunities to lead diverse initiatives, and build a broad systems perspective across the medical school, health system, practice plan, and university.
Rethinking Leadership for Academic Medical Centers: Navigating the Challenges
Q: What practical steps can current leaders take to prepare the next generation?
