The Disrupted Podcast

Lost In Misinterpretation


Listen Later

What if the reason your boss wants you in the office has nothing to do with your productivity — and everything to do with their ego? Scott Middleton admits it: he walked around his 30,000-square-foot corporate office on a Friday afternoon, found nobody, and got irritated. Then he caught himself. The data said his team was productive. The irritation was his ego talking.

That moment of self-awareness opens a much bigger conversation about what happens when leaders — in business and in healthcare — stop reading the evidence and start acting on assumption. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott and Jamie dig into:

  • Why most CEOs pushing return-to-office mandates are solving for ego, not outcomes — and the New York Times data that proves it
  • How Your Health is shifting from counting patients to measuring risk scores — and why that changes everything about how care teams are built
  • The "legs grow back on January 1st" problem: how the Medicare system loses patient diagnoses every year and why hospice patients often appear healthier right before they die
  • Why misinterpreting hospice rules is putting patients on the wrong track — and costing providers in ways they don't see coming
  • The role of chaplains in advanced care planning, and why getting that right could reduce hospitalizations and change end-of-life outcomes
  • South Carolina's jump from 49th to 26th in healthcare quality rankings — and what it means for the rest of the country
  • Scott closes with a mission statement that's hard to argue with: at 67, he could have retired. He didn't. If this conversation lights something up in you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.
