  • Essence Healthcare and Humana: Moving from Episodic Care to Longitudinal Outcomes

    Essence Healthcare and Humana: Moving from Episodic Care to Longitudinal Outcomes
    Mar 31 2026
    In this Bright Spots in Healthcare episode, host Eric Glazer brought together payer and provider leaders to examine a major shift underway in specialty care. Historically, specialty models have been built around episodic intervention, stepping in after a condition has progressed. But as organizations take on greater accountability for outcomes and cost, that model is becoming harder to sustain. The conversation explored how AI, earlier signal detection, and more connected care models can help organizations identify risk sooner, guide members more effectively, and support better outcomes over time. Our guests include: Saria Saccocio, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Essence Healthcare Ross Lagerblade, Vice President, Value Based Strategies, Humana Mary O'Connor, MD, Chief Medical Officer & Co-Founder, Vori Health Together, they explored: How specialty care is evolving from reactive, episode-based intervention to models built around continuous visibility and earlier action How organizations are identifying risk that never shows up in traditional data, and what it takes to surface and act on those blind spots How leading plans are redesigning the member experience to create clearer, more guided pathways through complex specialty care journeys What it looks like to use AI and new data sources to scale outreach, triage, and coordination without increasing operational burden How clinically grounded models are ensuring members are directed to the right level of care at the right time, avoiding unnecessary escalation What it takes to align care delivery, incentives, and measurement around sustained outcomes rather than isolated interventions This episode offers an inside look at how leaders are building more proactive, coordinated specialty care models, and what it takes to make them work in practice.

Drawing on real-world implementation, it highlights how combining clinical expertise with data, AI, and coordinated care pathways can shift specialty care from reactive treatment to continuous management. Inside, you'll find insights on: Extending specialty care beyond traditional encounters to support members earlier in their journey Designing clinically grounded care pathways that guide members to the right level of care at the right time Using data, wearables, and AI to surface risk that is not visible in traditional workflows Reducing unnecessary escalation, procedures, and downstream cost through earlier intervention Building scalable models that combine centralized coordination with physician-led care delivery Why longitudinal accountability is becoming essential as expectations for outcomes, experience, and cost continue to rise To request your copy, reach out to show producer Nicole Roberts at nroberts@brightspotsventures.com Thank You to Our Episode Partner, Vori Health By combining a physician-led care model with data-driven insights and longitudinal support, Vori Health is helping extend specialty care beyond episodic encounters and into continuous, whole-person care.

    Texas A&M, HCA & Houston Methodist: What It Really Takes to Fix Rural Healthcare Access
    Mar 25 2026
    In this Bright Spots in Healthcare episode, host Eric Glazer convenes provider and health system leaders working at the front lines of rural healthcare transformation across Texas. The conversation explores what it actually takes to extend clinical expertise across distance, workforce shortages, and infrastructure gaps, and how organizations are redesigning care delivery to meet patients where they are. This is a candid discussion for leaders navigating real operational constraints while building models that can scale. Together, the panel explores how hybrid care, digital infrastructure, and new collaboration models are reshaping access across some of the most complex care environments in the country. Our guests include: Pothik Chatterjee, MBA, Executive Director, Digital Health Institute, Rice University & Houston Methodist Reyann Davis, MPH, Director of Value-Based Care, Rural and Community Health Institute, Texas A&M Health Indira Vadlamani, MD, Division Medical Director, Gulf Coast Division, HCA Houston Healthcare Together, they explore: How rural health systems are addressing structural barriers including workforce shortages, transportation challenges, and limited broadband access What it takes to redesign workflows and build repeatable operational playbooks that can scale across rural hospitals How virtual care models such as Virtual ICUs, remote monitoring, and multidisciplinary collaboration are extending clinical expertise beyond traditional settings What actually works when organizations combine centralized support, local care teams, and hybrid care models to improve access and outcomes How emerging technologies including AI, wearables, and remote diagnostics are enabling earlier intervention, improving efficiency, and reducing strain on clinicians This episode offers an inside look at how leaders are building practical, scalable models to close rural care gaps, and what it takes to make those models work in real-world conditions.

  • Turning AI into Real Results: A Population Health Blueprint from UC Davis Health

    Turning AI into Real Results: A Population Health Blueprint from UC Davis Health
    Mar 18 2026

    In this episode of Bright Spots in Healthcare, recorded live at the ViVE 2026 conference, Eric Glazer sits down with Dr. Reshma Gupta from UC Davis Health to explore how health systems can translate artificial intelligence and predictive analytics into real operational improvement.

    As Chief of Population Health and Accountable Care, Reshma focuses on turning data and predictive insight into measurable outcomes across prevention, care management, and accountable care programs. Her work highlights a central challenge facing healthcare leaders today: many organizations have the models, but far fewer have built the workflows, governance, and operational alignment needed to turn those insights into action.

    The conversation dives into:

    • Why successful AI initiatives connect predictions directly to clinical workflows, incentives, and operational ownership

    • How UC Davis Health expanded its high risk population health strategy into the Emergency Department

    • Approaches to measuring the value of prevention including avoided admissions and downstream outcomes

    • Where predictive analytics supports prevention and population health within accountable care models

    • How UC Davis developed the BE FAIR framework to evaluate predictive models for bias and equity

    • The governance structures that help health systems move quickly with AI while maintaining trust and accountability

    • Practical lessons for moving AI from isolated pilots into measurable performance improvement

    This discussion offers a practical blueprint for health system leaders working to strengthen prevention, population health, and accountable care through data driven insight. The organizations seeing real results are those aligning data, workflow, incentives, and governance so predictive insight translates into better decisions and measurable outcomes.
