Understanding menopause is crucial for everyone, not just women. This natural biological process can have far-reaching effects on relationships, workplaces, and communities. By recognizing that menopause impacts the lives of partners, families, and colleagues, we can foster empathy, support, and awareness that ultimately leads to a healthier dialogue surrounding women's health. It’s time to break the stigma and encourage open conversation about menopause, creating a more supportive environment for those experiencing it. I invite you to dive deeper into the topic of menapause with the article below. The power of knowledge will lead us forward.

It's a positioning thing. Where Walgreens is flailing to find strategic fit with primary care (via its $6 billion write-down of VillageMD), Elevance Health plans to build a $4 billion business unit focused on chronic care management. Per company CEO Gail K. Boudreaux: “This will help us continue through having a focus on advanced primary care; it’s still very much focused on our chronic patients and complex patients. We are still building specialty care enablement. In time, Elevance Health will have full ownership of what we expect will be a leading platform for value-based care delivery and physician enablement at scale.” It's a competition thing. "The new partnership with Clayton Dubilier & Rice is “a necessary move as Elevance looks to hold its own [against] mega brands like CVS Health and UnitedHealth Group, which have entered the delivery space in a more aggressive manner,” Forrester analyst Arielle Trzcinski writes here in emailed comments. Elevance said its partnership with CD&R aims to create a new advanced primary care offering supported by care coordination, referral management and health coaching." And it's a thing still locked in the conceptual past. The next cycle of evolution in the business and economics of healthcare *works* with a more original narrative, a different screenplay altogether, a new genre, something that creates space to expand what Stacey Chang (via Kent Lawson) calls the 'impact horizon'. There's a difference between "primary care" and 'continuous health engagement' as ideas for big innovation. The former is an obsolete framing, with almost no kinetic energy to power anything other than a margin squeeze. The latter is a new economic concept, a foundation upon which to shift the center-of-gravity for the American Way of Healthcare. From "Hospitals Declare War on Corporate Insurance", by Paul Keckley: To industry watchers, the war is no surprise. It’s been simmering for years but most recently inflamed as operating margins for most hospitals eroded while profits among corporate insurers led by Big 6 (UnitedHealth, Humana, Aetna, a CVS Health Company, Elevance, Cigna Healthcare, Centene Corporation) swelled at double-digit rates. To outsiders, it’s not quite so clear. Corporatization seems embedded in the business models for both. And both appear complicit in well-documented beliefs that the health system is failing as unnecessary higher costs make it less accessible, affordable and effective. As the War intensifies, each combatant is inclined to make their cases aggressively contrasting “us” against “them.” ********* Market innovation is really about management innovation. And the process starts by positioning strategy at a system level. The goal isn't to "fix" a broken engine, but to enable 'gravitational pull' into a new orbit for competition and collaboration.

I’ve been thinking about how vital it is to foster strong connections—whether with my former colleagues, media and agency partners, or LinkedIn connections. Relationships and connections are what most people value and seek out. While we don’t typically research our connections to ensure they’re the perfect fit (and probably shouldn’t!), at POCN, we take the guesswork out of it. At POCN, we ensure you're connecting with the right NPs and PAs, making sure your commercial engagements resonate and make sense to your audience. Start building your meaningful connections today with POCN Group. #HealthcareMarketing #Personalization #DataDriven #POCNGroup #NursePractitioners #PhysicianAssistants

Mentorship and Volunteering have been my two most important investments this year. The conversations, learnings, and successes have led to rewarding results, fundraising, collaborations, and growth. 🤝 📈 Summarizing some of the results of these collective engagements: ▶Partnerships are being built on the coattails of a culture fit. Do not hide your portfolio and your vision. ▶Leadership focuses on people, processes, and innovation. Science alone does not drive adaptability - company health and sustainable commercial & operational differentiation matters. Are you innovative and efficient? If not, someone else will be, and collaborators will be watching the ecosystem! ▶Adopt an early commercial mindset – This will shape your development plan, resourcing, and collaboration readiness ▶Have you assessed your opportunity landscape? Do you have a dynamic tracking system, or do you know where to spend your time? It should not be used for data gathering. Implement AI where it matters the most (to predict success) ▶Take a step back. Do not rush, especially business development and collaboration processes. Remember, you become good at anything you keep doing repeatedly – choose wisely 💡 ▶Scientific offering is not your only value proposition. For those who recollect MBA 101: It's not always what you can do, but it’s the things that you offer that no one else wants to do that also count. What else is part of your offering? As you can tell, we covered a lot of ground! These are just a few results of a relentless investigation into each organization’s value proposition, differentiation, and ways of uncovering what can help enhance value and effectively communicate the message. 📈 🔬 🎯If you are an investor, BioTech company or a Pharmaceutical Executive, here are 3 high-quality events you want on your radar over the next 2 weeks 🎯 ⚡MAY 9th Merck Digital Sciences Studio Preview showcase: Request to Join:  🔗https://lu.ma/mdss-ps2024 ⚡MAY 14th Bio NJ (NJ’s affiliate of Bio) 14th annual Biotech-Investor-Pharma Bio partnering conference.

This article is a powerful reminder of the critical need for equitable healthcare. It reinforces my commitment to advocating for our patients, ensuring they have access to the care they deserve. Access to care is so important, we must strive to prevent such situations from occurring. This is why I became a pharmacist – to fight for patients to receive affordable medications, treatments, and comprehensive care. Patient care always comes first! https://lnkd.in/gYDZ6gCA

Really appreciate seeing this attention on the Advancing Menopause Care Act in CQ and Roll Call and on #menopause in general. As this article explains, leaders on both sides of the aisle are committed to improving women’s health experiences with #menopause and throughout midlife.    That’s a key driver for our work at Astellas Pharma we work to ensure that policymakers and other stakeholders understand the value of awareness, education, and solutions to help women thrive through this natural phase of life. https://lnkd.in/eShswpvW

How Personalized Medicine Can Benefit Older Adults? Personalized medicine holds particular promise for improving the healthcare of older adults. Here's why: **More Effective Treatments: Traditionally, medicine treats a condition the same way in everyone. Personalized medicine considers factors like genetics and lifestyle to tailor treatments to the individual. This can lead to more effective treatment plans for older adults. **Reduced Medication Risks: Older adults often take multiple medications, increasing the risk of negative side effects. Personalized medicine can help identify medications that work well together and avoid those that might cause problems. **Improved Overall Care: Personalized medicine goes beyond just physical health. It can consider an older adult's preferences and goals to create a more comprehensive care plan that improves their quality of life. There are challenges to implementing widespread personalized medicine, but the potential benefits for older adults are significant. Do you have questions about personalized medicine?

So proud to be leading the way in applying GenAI in healthcare. Lot's of great ideas and it was fantastic to bring great thinkers, leaders and AI pioneers from across pharma to share ideas, challenges, progress and priorities. This combines top guiding of mine: 1) Put your money where your mouth is 2) Don't just talk, do 3) Disrupt yourself or be disrupted 4) Listen and learn from your customers

While you can’t physically stay young forever, you just might be able to feel it.      I recently came across this article from The Aesthetic Guide discussing prolonged youthfulness and advancements that are changing the landscape of aging.      We are in an era of life-altering research where “a newfound appreciation for longevity and health span converges with science and aesthetics, to change the landscape of aging.” The result? A multi-billion-dollar industry in which businesses are investing in various areas of and approaches to healthy aging.     This is only the beginning; medical aesthetics will play a significant role in the future of the aging industry, and I am excited to be at the forefront of innovation for solutions that can benefit generations to come.     https://lnkd.in/gsvFg3C9     #Innovation #Investment #MedicalAesthetics

I've never posted anything that can be viewed as having a negative tone, but I share this with positive intent drawing attention something we can and must make better. Clearly, we have some of the most caring and brilliant people in U.S. healthcare, yet we must make patient experience better. Here's one idea. Let me know if you agree--or disagree. #patientexperience, #healthsystems, #healthinsurance, #healthcare
