"This is unsustainable! I can't do it any more! says a young ER doctor." In discussion with Dr Andrea Austin, we unravel underlying issues of provider burnout and patient dissatisfaction. How to bridge the two? Tune-in to this important episode!

Although the overall burnout rate for doctors post-pandemic is improving, those for ER doctors is worsening.

We have a health care crisis and we'll be going sideways if no change occurs. Very timely as both Drs Voelter and Austin's book hit our book shelves: The Next Tango and Revitalized are practical books to guide everyone in health care - doctors and patients and all the other actors from the 5P - to roll up your sleeves, pressure test your own assumptions and get to work.

Don't miss this uplifting episode and meet the authors!

"Health care is one of the most, if not the most, regulated industry - and for good reason" says Dr Paul Sherrington, author of Chapter 5 of The Next Tango, A Patient Guide - The Policymaker View.

Learn more from Paul's insights as he shares about both his professional & personal background, and how they relate to policymaking. Hanna Boëthius and Paul discuss how to look at patient engagement in policy (and beyond), and what he thinks will aid our communication and collaboration between the 5P's the most in 10 years time.

"No one P can do it alone - payers and providers especially are like Siamese twins" says Caitlin Masters, author of the 'payer' chapter 4 in her discussion with Book editor Verena Voelter.

The intent of this chapter is to help the curious reader to understand the idiosyncrasies of payment models in health care - for pills, procedures and services. How does this work between hospitals and health insurances, between pharma companies and payers? Caitlin summarizes it swiftly in 3 key takeaways:

1) focus on prevention and have a holistic view on the patient needs "that is the foundation to create value!";

2) payers and providers must collaborate, there is no other way as they "share the same customer - the patient!"; and

3) "you can't improve what you don't measure" - payers and providers have to trust and find ways to share data around high risk patient populations so that you can start identifying where the 50% of wasted healthcare delivery cost occur.

Nienke and Hanna are eager to hear your thoughts and perspective on the pharma sector's role in transforming healthcare.

"The goal is to conduct research projects WITH the people, rather than FOR or about them.", the authors of the provider view in Chapter 2, Claudia Witt & Claudia Canella, say about their participatory research methods, as part of The Next Tango, A Patient Guide.

Follow along as Hanna Boëthius chats to Claudia and Claudia about their very hands-on chapter that provides almost a blueprint for other researchers and institutions in how to engage in collaborative research fit for the individual stakeholders. What is the role of digitalization and digital tools? And how do we communicate between the 5P's in 10 years' time? Don't miss this very unique episode of a patient in dialogue with providers !

Let's continue the Dance of collaboration in health care !

We're excited to kickoff this season with the launch of our latest book "The Next Tango - A Patient Guide" which is a testament to bringing Value-Based Health Care to reality.

Join us on a fun episode with the Master of VBHC in action and the music as a vehicle to great leadership !

Curious?

Dr Klasko provides a clear picture on how the music can make health care healthier and its leader happier. Listen to his top 3 recommendations on how we can bring Sia's Courage to Change and Pink Floyd's a brick in the Wall to start making changes tomorrow: 1) reform education of providers; 2) transform current faculty in academic leadership positions 3) push hard of collaborative negotiation. He concludes: " we need to talk to each other and get incentivized on collaboration. There's plenty of additional nuggets such as "teaching humanics & creativity instead of tech and Krebs cycles" - "the patient as a the consumer - how radical ?" - "partner with the people we serve" - why don't we have primary care that's actually nice to you?"

Tune in and join the movement on transformational leadership and patient-consumer centricity.

This is a unique episode bringing a Digital Health Strategist to the podium. Rado endorses that digital is always a means to an end and not a means on itself - it helps health care professionals do their job better. It doesn't replace doctors or nurses, but can help them do their job better by bringing back time to the doctor-patient relationship and carving out nuisance admin bureaucracy. Co-creating digital innovation enforces collaboration - "we've been living too long in silos". Now, digital technology is a vector to capture insights and to bring in more perspective from all actors along the 5P value chain.

Today is a special episode very close to our podcast host's Verena Voelter's heart: Shaping a new culture of collaboration for and with young emerging doctors. No better guest than the Medical director of the Swiss based ETH school of bachelor medicine.

We discuss on both the system needs to create fertile environments to encourage creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, couple with the next generation of MDs picking up on these opportunites and become more pro-active in solution-finding and creativity.

This is an episode filled with practical example of what a modern Medical curriculum looks like! A must-hear for all Medical students, PhDs, residents and beyond (and teachers and lecturers as well for that matter)

Today we welcome one of our favorite guests and experts on the collaboration scene in health care --> Nienke Feenstra, GM Takeda in France. She was also recently featured at our #5PFlagship2023 event (direct link to the post production video here)

In this anniversary episode we're discussing practical ways, tips and tricks, on how to build bridges among key players along the 5P value chain: pharma - policy - provider - patients. It's a must-have for anyone who wants to get inspired that change in healthcare is indeed possible through a deep mindset and culture shift.
