Welcome to the very first episode of The Healthcare STARcast! In this kickoff conversation, host Subbu Ramalingam dives deep into Subbu’s fascinating journey from growing up in an entrepreneurial household in Chennai, India, to becoming a thought leader in the U.S. healthcare industry. Subbu shares how his early experiences in technology and finance ultimately led him to discover his true purpose in healthcare, using data and analytics to make a tangible difference for patients.
Throughout their discussion, Subbu unpacks the philosophy of "Vivega" — the art of discerning the right priorities amid the chaos of modern healthcare — and explains why it’s crucial to break down silos between star ratings, risk adjustment, quality, and cost. He reflects candidly on building high-performing teams, the importance of ethical leadership, and why even metrics-driven healthcare is fundamentally about people, not just numbers.
If you’re a healthcare leader, operator, or someone interested in transforming managed care, this episode delivers practical guidance, inspiring stories, and a preview of what’s to come in future deep dives. Get ready to reimagine what’s possible at the intersection of clarity, compassion, and value-based care!
