  • Fun and Engaging Interview

    I had the opportunity to join Meredith as a guest on Working Healthcare and really enjoyed the conversation. 🚀🔥

    Meredith has a natural way of making the discussion feel conversational while still asking thoughtful questions and digging into complex healthcare issues.

    We covered Medicaid, Community Engagement, technology, AI, and some of the challenges of turning healthcare policy into something that actually works operationally. I appreciated the opportunity to go beyond the headlines and ... more

  • Chris Jones

    A very thought provoking and insightful podcast with Meredith Hirsh. On many levels this hit personally and professionally. The conversation highlights the critical need for advocacy throughout our healthcare system as a patient but also this podcast gave me greater insight on what HCPs play in improving the patient experience as well as being the patient sometimes themselves. A great discussion on a subject that deserves more attention.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 109 - Downcodes, Takebacks and Timely Filing: How Payers Really Win (ft. Chris Acevedo)
Q: What is the one thing you see that practices get wrong most often?
Educating advanced practitioners on when to press the stop button and ensuring proper documentation for incident-to billing; otherwise, misbilling leads to revenue loss and higher risk with payers.
Ep. 108 - Where Did All the Doctors Go? A Surgeon and Medical School Dean on What We’re Losing (ft. Dr. Chad Perlyn)
Q: Why did you decide to pursue an MD-PhD and then an MBA, and was it necessary for your leadership role?
He explains the strategic value of MD-PhD timing and how the MBA was a leadership development investment rather than a credential alone, essential for managing complex health systems.
Ep. 108 - Where Did All the Doctors Go? A Surgeon and Medical School Dean on What We’re Losing (ft. Dr. Chad Perlyn)
Q: At what point did you realize your career was not going to fit inside a box?
He describes how Haiti and leadership opportunities redirected him from a traditional surgeon path to systems leadership and eventually deanship, emphasizing that career pivots can open doors to broader impact.
Ep. 106 - Why Healthcare Keeps Saying No to Better Solutions (ft. Holley Miller)
Q: What framework does Holley suggest for leaders to implement change?
A four-part framework: clarify the problem that must change, determine whether the change is incremental or transformative, crystallize why it needs to exist for all key stakeholders, and start with a specific, high-impact starting point before expanding.
Ep. 104 - Reclaiming Joy When Medicine Loses Its Meaning with Dr. Alen Voskanian
Q: You've described burnout in terms of meaning and alignment—how would you define it for someone new to the topic?
Burnout is losing the sense of meaning and purpose in our profession, feeling like what we do is not aligned with our values, and experiencing chronic fatigue and a sense of not making a difference, even when busy.
