The $420 BILLION MSK PROBLEM… and the Patient-Centric Solution!! Interview with Lissa Taitano, Director of Clinical Operations for Livara Health
In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry sits down with Lissa Taitano, Director of Clinical Operations for Livara Health. Livara is a purpose-built musculoskeletal (MSK) management solution that combines care planning, delivery, and navigation to create a more connected healthcare system.
Lissa, a physical therapist by training with over 15 years of experience in value-based care, pulls back the curtain on how a truly patient-centric model delivers superior outcomes for both people and businesses. She details Livara's journey from a local clinic to a national leader, explaining how integrating a holistic, biopsychosocial approach—including physical therapy, pain reprocessing therapy, nutrition, and health coaching—led to patients getting "100% better, faster" while simultaneously reducing costs and surgical utilization.
This conversation is a masterclass in the future of MSK care. Jerry and Lissa tackle the tough questions every practice owner needs to ask, challenging the unsustainable fee-for-service status quo and outlining the essential mindset shift required to thrive.
Key Takeaways:
• Why the traditional, fragmented model is failing MSK patients and how a "quarterback" approach creates central accountability and a seamless patient journey.
• The power of a holistic, biopsychosocial model: Discover how addressing contextual drivers like stress, nutrition, and mental health is the key to unlocking better outcomes and preventing chronic pain cycles.
• How to build a powerful patient engagement strategy that extends beyond episodic clinic visits, using technology and personalized communication to meet patients where they are.
• The business case for value-based care: Learn how proactive, high-engagement models lead to dramatically lower costs (35-45%), reduced surgical utilization (40-53%), and higher patient satisfaction.
• The two things clinic owners must do today to prepare for the future: Collect and leverage your clinical outcome data, and be open-minded about changing your business model to prioritize value over volume.
Tune in for an inspiring and practical look at how getting upstream, owning the patient's entire MSK journey, and focusing on what's truly best for the patient is, unequivocally, the best path forward for business.
