| 235: What CEOs need to know in 2025 (Part 1) | 21 Jan 2025 | 00:27:42 | |
While the new year often feels like a time to reset and regroup, 2025 has started off in a sprint. As pressures continue to grow across all sectors of the industry, it’s no secret that leaders need to think and act differently in order to succeed in the new year. With so many swirling changes, it can be hard to sort through the most important topics, trends, and perspectives to focus on. That’s where Advisory Board—and Radio Advisory—come in. This week’s conversation is the first of a two-part series that digs into what healthcare leaders need to have on their radar in 2025. Host Abby Burns invites Advisory Board experts Natalie Trebes and Max Hakanson to break down what Medicare Advantage breakups, untenable drug costs, and evolving cyber threats signal about changing power dynamics across the healthcare industry. Stay tuned for part 2 of the conversation next week, where we’ll cover the state of health systems and, of course, what we expect to see in the policy landscape this year.

| 225: Patients are back – so why aren't hospital margins? | 08 Oct 2024 | 00:26:19 | |
For years, health systems have been holding their breath to see if patient volumes would finally return to pre-pandemic levels. Because—per conventional wisdom--if volumes return, then so will operating margins. Right? Not so fast. In this episode, host Abby Burns invites Advisory Board experts Sebastian Beckmann and Elizabeth Orr to explore why with the positive volume forecast we see in our projections won’t automatically translate to a healthy financial outlook.

| 224: The $400M referral problem (and steps to fixing it) | 01 Oct 2024 | 00:24:57 | |
Two weeks ago on Radio Advisory, we told our listeners that the number one area of focus for health system growth is operational excellence, and a major part of that is capturing all of the revenue on the table from your medical group. Healthcare organizations have spent the last decade buying up medical groups and physicians, in part because of the “promise” of downstream referrals. It is a long-held belief that physician employment leads to higher referral integrity. But according to an Advisory Board data analysis, that doesn’t hold true - just 55% of total referral revenue attributed to employed PCPs is realized in-network. This week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board physician experts Eliza Dailey and Colleen Wagner to unpack where referral leakage actually happens and share the real (and relatively easy) steps organizations can take to reduce referral leakage.

| 123: Is private equity healthcare's bad guy? | 12 Jul 2022 | 00:36:23 | |
Private equity tends to get a bad rap when it comes to healthcare. Some see it as a disruptive force that prioritizes profits over the patient experience, and that it’s hurting the industry by creating a more consolidated marketplace. Others, however see it as an opportunity for innovation, growth, and more movement towards value-based care. In this episode, Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board’s Sarah Hostetter and Vidal Seegobin to discuss the good and bad elements of PE and what leaders can do to make it be a valuable partner to their practices.
