RISE Radio

During this 36-minute podcast, we talk to Heather O’Toole, M.D., chief medical officer at Innovation Care Partners, a clinically integrated network and an accountable care organization in Arizona.

Dr. O'Toole, this year’s recipient of RISE’s Martin L. Block Award,  discusses the quality initiatives that have inspired her, including opioid safety in the ambulatory setting and training physicians on advance directives, as well as how the projects changed during COVID.

Our guest is Ana Handshuh,  principal of CAT5 Strategies and the chair of the RISE Association's Quality and Revenue Community.  Handshuh, who served as the chair of this year's RISE National, shares her key takeaways from the virtual event, and thoughts on COVID, behavioral health, and why broadband access should be a social determinant of health. 

In this podcast, we talk to RISE Managing Director Ellen Wofford about the evolution of RISE during COVID, converting live events to virtual ones, and upcoming plans to host hybrid events that offer both a live-stream option and in-person learning. We also discuss RISE Association communities and opportunities to network via user groups. 

In this podcast, we explore some of the regulatory issues that commercial ACA plans needs to watch in 2021. Our guests are Gabriel McGlamery of Florida Blue's marketplace business and Josh Weisbrod of Network Health in Wisconsin, both members of the RISE Risk Adjustment Policy Committee.

RISE Editorial Director Ilene MacDonald talks to members of the RISE Risk Adjustment Policy Committee about the Biden administration's health care priorities, mechanisms the administration can use to achieve these priorities given a split Senate, and regulatory issues that Medicare Advantage plans need to watch in 2021.
