David Johnson's latest deep dive into the revenue cycle's dysfunctions is both sobering and necessary. The fall of Olive AI serves as a cautionary tale—not just about AI hype but about the fundamental complexity of healthcare. Technology alone can't fix a system built on fragmented processes, shifting payer rules, and misaligned incentives. Automation can help, but only when deployed strategically and with a deep understanding of your revenue cycle operations. Many solutions fall short here: They promise "transformation" but fail to address the underlying challenges of claim accuracy, denials, and payer accountability. At SparkChange, we believe in a different approach. Instead of overpromising an AI-driven revolution, we focus on targeted, data-driven, practical automation and analytics that work within your system and process's existing realities. We come in at the data level, ensuring system-wide alignment and driving measurable results—not theoretical savings. The industry doesn't need another Olive. It needs solutions that recognize that the revenue cycle isn't just a trillion-dollar business—it's the financial backbone of patient care.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Trump administration are taking a "meat cleaver" to the health care industry, says David Johnson, chief executive of 4sight Health. From job cuts to tariffs threats, from Medicare coverage decisions to vaccine policy changes, there's been a "frantic rush" of changes, Cybin Inc CEO Doug Drysdale told Investor's Business Daily. "I think there's been a bit of a rush and we're seeing some backlash from that publicly," Drysdale said. "But I suspect that will calm down eventually and reality will kick in. I think this is just the early stages of being fresh into new roles." https://lnkd.in/gpC69ck5

HR and benefits leaders are uniquely positioned to transform the health and care of their employees and their families. And I really mean that.   Since our inaugural client conference, Voyages, concluded just a couple of weeks ago, I’ve had a chance to reflect on the time spent with innovative HR and benefits leaders . . . changemakers for employee health and care. you can read my reflections in the blog here: https://lnkd.in/gU932taV   Thank you to Corey Luecht, Jennifer Weinstein, Lesli Marasco, Diana Morgan, Dr. Geeta Nayyar, MD, MBA, Courtney Gray Haupt, Aneesh Chopra, Tom Grote, Gina Jacobson, David Johnson, and so many others for sharing your insights and driving meaningful change in health and care.

In case you missed my discussion about the impact of a Trump administration and RFK on public health, here's the full segment on Scripps' The State of Our Union, which aired ahead of Trump's Congressional address. The executive summary is it's too soon to tell, but this administration shows no qualms about moving fast and breaking things.

Really looking forward to hearing from Paul Kusserow, co-author of "The Coming Healthcare Revolution: 10 Forces that Will Cure America's Health Crisis". The fireside chat will be moderated by L Gregory Jones, President of Belmont University. We were fortunate to host Paul in October at the inaugural Global Health Innovators Summit in Nashville. An informative and frank discussion of the five macro forces, and the five market forces, that will shape the future of healthcare - you won't want to miss this event at Parnassus Books on March 21st, 6.45pm.

🔥 When I saw this slide from last week’s Future of Healthcare Conference at the University of St. Thomas - Opus College of Business, I felt all kinds of dread.  This is our system.  We own it.  *The US spends 18% of its GDP on healthcare. The top 4 of the 10 largest industries in the US are Healthcare, Pharma, Prescription Drugs, and Healthcare Insurance. 💡 And YET, there are companies that are radically challenging the ailments of the system (and it's not all solved by AI):  The delivery of care (Nice Healthcare), reducing cost in the system itself (DOCSI and MOBĒ), and other virtual care companies that extend care options into rural areas where there are provider shortages.   💭 An ongoing challenge for payers and entities who take risk is who gets the benefit of cost savings of a patient who gets better over time, which often happens 18 months later. What is their motivation to change their fundamental structure of reimbursement/payment?  THIS is a larger question.  🌟 In the meantime, I would love to hear what other companies, especially in Minnesota, are directly impacting the cost, quality, and efficient delivery of care to those who need it most.  Who is on your radar? 🎤 Shout out: Paul N. Long, MBA for the suggestion to join the conference. #healthtechnology #thefutureofhealthcare * Slide source: David Johnson
