The following episode covers my intro to the episode and thoughts on the topic of new innovations used in hospitals as part of procedure including bloodstream infections and dialysis.

Oh, hey, some unexpected news. This interview is unavailable at this time. One of these days we may be able to make it available, and if so, this will be announced in our weekly email. So please subscribe by going over to our website at RelentlessHealthValue.com.

The episode emphasizes the remarkable progress made by the Relentless Tribe in improving outcomes for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and highlights the obstacles hospitals face in adopting expensive new technologies under the DRG payment model. The discussion also covers the significant impact of hospital-acquired infections, particularly those leading to sepsis, and explores the role of Medicare's NTAP (new technology add-on payment) in incentivizing the use of innovative treatments. The episode underscores the complex balance between cost and patient outcomes in healthcare.
