    • Why Financial Care Is the Next Frontier in Patient Experience with Seth Cohen, President at Cedar

      This podcast is brought to you by Outcomes Rocket, your exclusive healthcare marketing agency. Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to⁠ outcomesrocket.com


      Patients are now bearing an unsustainable share of healthcare costs, and providers who ignore the financial side of care are putting both outcomes and revenue at risk.

      In this episode, Seth Cohen, President at Cedar, discusses how the affordability crisis is being felt at the front lines, with patient out-of-pocket costs rising faster than overall medical spending, and the majority of Americans now in high-deductible plans that they often cannot afford. He explains why a small share of uninsured patients generates 35% of the dollars owed and how that financial stress undermines any claim of “healing” if it ends in ruined credit and anxiety. Seth introduces Cedar Cover as a proactive digital coverage safety net that goes beyond billing to connect patients to Medicaid, ACA plans, financial assistance, copay programs, and other benefits, already delivering a 97% success rate in Medicaid applications, pharmacy subsidies, and higher reimbursement on denied claims. Looking ahead, he predicts the crisis will worsen and argues that caring for patients means helping them access every resource. 

      Tune in and discover how reframing billing as part of care can create mutually beneficial situations for patients and providers.

      • From Ideas to Patients: The Mission of Physician Entrepreneurs with Dr. Arlen Meyers, President and CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs

        This podcast is brought to you by Outcomes Rocket, your exclusive healthcare marketing agency. Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to⁠ outcomesrocket.com


        What happens when clinicians have groundbreaking ideas, but no roadmap to bring them to life?

        In this episode, Dr. Arlen Meyers, Professor Emeritus of Otolaryngology, Dentistry, and Engineering at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the Colorado School of Public Health, and President and CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs, discusses how SOPE helps clinicians transform ideas into innovations that reach patients. He explains why most healthcare professionals lack formal entrepreneurship training and how that gap leaves them unsure of what to do with their ideas. He explores the rising challenges of burnout and moral injury in medicine, and how fear, ego, and identity keep many clinicians from pursuing new paths. He also shares how SOPE uses “radical candor,” idea euthanasia, and practical entrepreneurial frameworks to help innovators pivot, persevere, or let go.

          AI will only build trust if we’re honest about both its potential and its risks. 

          In this episode, Anthony Lee, executive communication coach and head of Heroic Voice Academy, discusses how AI is reshaping conferences, clinical workflows, and the craft of speaking. He contrasts the adoption of beginner-level AI in healthcare with cutting-edge innovation at events like TED AI, highlighting the urgent need for more experimentation, compelling stories, and faster learning. Anthony explains how AI can support peer review, pre-consult patient interviews, and patient education while always keeping a human in the loop. He also explores job displacement, the speed of AI-driven disruption, and why strong communication and prompting skills are becoming non-negotiable. Finally, Anthony shares his “green room” lessons, from choosing events based on the producer, audience, and peers to preparing for the stage by speaking to three specific people in your mind.

            • The Hidden Cost Of Siloed Data And How AI Finally Breaks It Open with Doug Fridsma, CMIO at Health Universe and former federal leader in health IT

              This podcast is brought to you by Outcomes Rocket, your exclusive healthcare marketing agency. Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to⁠ outcomesrocket.com


              The future of healthcare hinges on unlocking siloed data and enabling agentic, AI-driven innovation.

              In this episode, Doug Fridsma, CMIO at Health Universe and former federal leader in health IT, discusses the historic shift from paper to electronic records, the challenges of data consolidation, and why lazy data must be activated to improve patient care. Doug breaks down how modern agentic AI, ambient technologies, and orchestration layers can ultimately make health systems more agile, much like the transition from mainframes to personal computing. He also explores the creation of horizontal platforms that integrate once and deploy multiple solutions, the importance of standards such as FHIR and CDA, and the need to empower bottom-up innovation within large healthcare systems. Finally, Doug argues that future transformation depends on patients themselves, just as the automobile reshaped medicine a century ago.
