Exploring the possibilities of a new healthcare.

Let’s get real: Healthcare is broken. You know it. I know it. Every clinician who came into this field from a desire to care for others, knows this to be undeniably true. We feel it everyday when we enter our clinics, hospitals, and practices. We feel the burden of time-based productivity metrics, utilization rates, and the expectation to behave like cogs in a giant, soul-crushing machine aimed at extracting revenue from our patients in exchange for “units” of treatment.

Healthcare should be about one thing: PEOPLE! Yet how many clinics, organizations, or healthcare professionals live their lives by the numbers? Metrics & spreadsheets drive most of our healthcare decision makers and administrators. That leaves patients -the people we serve- lost in the mix. Patient’s feel lost, forgotten, and ignored by a system that prioritizes efficiency & productivity over their own personal experiences, priorities, or goals.

It’s time for clinicians to finally stand up and say what we’ve all been thinking for so long: enough is enough!

It’s time for healthcare organizations to commit to serving the individual needs of each unique patient that they are charged with serving.

156: Should State Licensing in Healthcare Go Away?

Rethinking State Licensure in Healthcare for the 21st Century

State-based licensure for healthcare professionals has been the status quo for over a century. But in an era defined by digital health and telemedicine, is this 19th-century solution still fit for purpose? In this episode, I explore the historical context of state licensure, the modern-day challenges it poses to telehealth, and practical solutions for breaking down regulatory barriers. Drawing insights from my experience as a state licensing board member and recent academic research, we dissect the structural flaws that limit patient access, drive up costs, and stifle innovation in healthcare. Here's the original post on state licensure in healthcare that fueled this episode.

What we cover in this Episode:

-The origins of State-Based Licensure
-How Technology has Changed the Healthcare Regulatory Landscape 
-The Real-World Impact of State Licensing in healthcare & the Barriers it places to providing/receiving care
-Possible solutions or alternatives for State-based healthcare licensing 
-How value-based care and regulatory policy are intertwined
