Robin Shah is an oncology subject matter expert, building a career around startups in the cancer care space. So, he regularly receives phone calls from people whose friends, family members or colleagues have been diagnosed with cancer and don’t know what to do. And Robin wondered how he could help people in this way at scale. How could he support cancer patients who didn’t know someone like him?

Thyme Care pairs human guidance with software and analytics to engage members with a cancer diagnosis, quickly connecting them to the right care and providing ongoing support through targeted, evidence-based interventions. On this episode of HLTH Matters, Robin joins host Dr. Jessica Shepherd to explain how Thyme Care’s tech-enabled team helps cancer patients find the help they need.

Removing the Policy Barriers to Home-Based Care—featuring Krista Drobac

When Krista Drobac first started thinking about home-based health care, she assumed that the biggest barriers to adoption would be cultural. But she quickly learned that policy was the problem. And then came COVID-19. Regulations were loosened, and we were allowed to experiment with caring for patients at home. So, how do we convince policymakers to preserve the advances in home-based care made during the pandemic and change the rules for good? Krista serves as Partner at Sirona Strategies, Executive Director of the Alliance for Connected Care and Founder of <a href="https://movinghealthhome.org/" target="_blank">Moving Health Home</a>, a coalition working to change policy to enable the home to be a clinical site of care. Krista has 25 years of experience in federal and state government policy and public affairs, and she consults on Medicare, Medicaid, digital health, social determinants of health and new care models. On this episode of HLTH Matters, Krista joins hosts Dr. Jessica Shepherd, Dr. Gautam Gulati and Dr. Jordan Schlain to explore the innovations in hospital-at-home and SNF-at-home we achieved during the pandemic. Krista discusses who benefits most from home-based care (and who might want to opt out) and describes how providers can identify environmental risks when they’re in a patient’s home. Listen in to understand why Krista advocates for value-based reimbursement models and learn what you can do to help persuade legislators to embrace home-based care. Topics Covered<ul><li>The regulatory barriers to moving health care into the home prior to the pandemic</li><li>How Moving Health Home was launched to preserve the innovation and advances in home-based care made during COVID</li><li>Who benefits most from home-based care and who might want to opt out</li><li>What the hospital-at-home model looks like and how it took off during the pandemic</li><li>The regulatory challenges Moving Home Health faces in executing SNF-at-home</li><li>How home-based care allows providers to identify environmental risks</li><li>Why value-based care reimbursement models are more appropriate for home-based care than fee-for-service</li><li>How home-based care might improve a patient’s mental and emotional health</li><li>Why we need a large-scale demonstration of the benefits of home-based care to change policy</li><li>The power of patient voice in convincing legislatures and hospital systems to embrace home-based care</li><li>How we might incentivize or persuade Americans to choose healthy food</li><li>How the social determinants of health or SDOH are influenced by policy</li></ul>   Connect with Krista Drobac<a href="https://movinghealthhome.org/" target="_blank">Moving Health Home</a> Connect with Dr. Jessica Shepherd, Dr. Gautam Gulati &amp; Dr. Jordan Shlain<a href="https://www.hlth.com/" target="_blank">HLTH</a><a href="https://twitter.com/JShepherd_MD" target="_blank">Dr. Shepherd on Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-shepherd-md-mba-5ba9ab66/" target="_blank">Dr. Shepherd on LinkedIn</a><a href="https://twitter.com/drgautamgulati" target="_blank">Dr. Gulati on Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gautamgulati" target="_blank">Dr. Gulati on LinkedIn</a><a href="https://twitter.com/DrShlain" target="_blank">Dr. Shlain on Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjordanshlain/" target="_blank">Dr. Shlain on LinkedIn</a> Resources<a href="https://essentialhospitals.org/" target="_blank">America’s Essential Hospitals</a><a href="https://www.cms.gov/files/document/covid-19-emergency-declaration-waivers.pdf" target="_blank">CMS COVID Waivers</a><a href="https://movinghealthhome.org/resource-items/studies/" target="_blank">Moving Health Home Studies</a><a href="https://frac.org/white-house-conference" target="_blank">White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health</a><a href="https://health.gov/healthypeople/priority-areas/social-determinants-health" target="_blank">Social Determinants of Health</a>

In this episode, Dr. Maulik Majmudar, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer at Biofourmis, shares about his company’s platform, which enables health systems and provider groups to scale their programs at the patients’ homes.

Dr. Majmudar explains how the Biofourmis platform can manage patients’ care remotely and uses digital tools that can drive better outcomes. He speaks about the health equity problem and how the Biofourmis platform combines virtual care delivery and the standardization of evidence-based therapies to make healthcare more acceptable, affordable, and accessible.
