On this week's episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Dave Chase joins me to discuss challenges and opportunities of the current state of healthcare in the United States. Chase was named one of the most influential people in Digital Health due to his entrepreneurial success, public speaking & writing that recognizes healthcare's under-performance but contrasts that with a growing cadre of high-performing organizations that have solved healthcare's toughest challenges. Chase, widely published, co-authored the healthcare Book of the Year in 2014. In this episode, we discuss: -What is Health 3.0 and why human relationships take the forefront of this framework -How to target the quadruple aim of a better patient experience, better outcomes, lower costs and happier clinicians -Health Rosetta: The blueprint for wise healthcare purchasing -Physical therapy's important role in the emergent changes of Health 3.0 -And so much more! One of the many challenges facing our healthcare system is the inability of the current system to embody patient centered care. Dave stresses, "We have seeded authority to government, administrators, and algorithms and treating a computer screen rather than the patient… We are all sort of treated as commodities and raw materials for this machine." Public outreach is necessary to educate patients on all potential healthcare options. Dave believes physical therapists are aligned ideally with Health Rosetta because, "People will almost always choose the least invasive option first." Improving the healthcare system begins with restoring the incentives for patient centered care. Dave states, "Almost everything in our system is designed around the convenience of the healthcare system not the convenience of the patient." For more information on Dave: Chase is co-founder of the Health Rosetta that consists of 2 main pillars: Impact: The Health Rosetta Institute that is an education and certification entity that is like LEED/Fair Trade for healthcare; Media that includes the film and books. The Big Heist is the first fiercely non-partisan satirical film to tackle healthcare. In addition, they are publishing the CEO's Guide to Restoring the American Dream: How to deliver world class healthcare to your employees at half the cost; Investment: Backing the transformation of healthcare including the Quad Aim Fund, a seed stage venture fund. Chase was named one of the most influential people in Digital Health due to his entrepreneurial success, public speaking & writing that recognizes healthcare's under-performance but contrasts that with a growing cadre of high-performing organizations that have solved healthcare's toughest challenges. Chase, widely published, co-authored the healthcare Book of the Year in 2014. Chase was the CEO & Co-founder of Avado, which was acquired by and integrated into WebMD and the most widely used healthcare professional site - Medscape. Before Avado, Chase spent several years outside of healthcare in startups as founder or consulting roles with LiveRez.com, MarketLeader, & WhatCounts. He also played founding & leadership roles in launching two new $1B+ businesses within Microsoft including their $2 billion healthcare platform business. Chase is a father of two great kids/athletes, husband & oxygen-fueled mountain athlete.

On this week's episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Kim Marshall joins me to talk about oncology rehabilitation. Kim is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who recently directed her continuing education towards rehabilitation of the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment. In addition to becoming certified in the treatment of lymphedema, Kim completed the STAR training to address and treat other side effects of cancer including unspecified pain, neuropathy and fatigue. In this episode, we discuss: -The history of oncology rehabilitation and the role of physical therapists as a healthcare professional ally -What is lymphedema and how can physical therapists learn to treat this condition -Common side effects of cancer treatment and the influence on a rehabilitation program -Important components of patient education and an exercise program for oncology patients -And so much more! Direct access oncology patients may not always be aware of the need for specialized care. Kim believes, "We need to be a little bit more available to patients to make sure if we can't treat them then we're getting them in the right direction." Patient education is critical during the initial phases of cancer treatment. Potential side effects are best screened early on so they can be more easily managed throughout the treatment. Kim states it is important for patients to understand, "Unfortunately if you've undergone the treatment for cancer, you're going to have a new normal." Physical therapists are well prepared to be a primary healthcare provider throughout the cancer treatment process, from preparing patients for treatments to supporting patients during treatment and recovery. Kim stresses, "I would be an advocate for finding somebody who you can go over your laundry list, we should be the healthcare providers that patients can come and complain to along with their concerns and fears." Kim encourages those interested in oncology rehabilitation to think about the added challenges of this field but also the potential for personal growth from treating this patient population. She shares, "It is really rewarding. There is something about the diagnosis of cancer and facing your own mortality. I always tell my patients I'm on the good end of this in terms of putting people back together. It's challenging… Every patient is a little different in terms of symptoms and a little bit different in terms of where they are in their recovery." For more information on Kim: Kim received her doctorate of physical therapy from Western University and her physical therapy degree from California State University, Long Beach in 1985. She obtained her Masters degree in Biokinesiology from the University of Southern California in 1996. She has specialized in the treatment of orthopedic injuries for the past 20 years. Recently, Kim has directed her continuing education towards rehabilitation of the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment. Kim developed this interest after her grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer and, as a result of the surgery and subsequent treatment, her grandmother lost her shoulder mobility and developed lymphedema. In addition to becoming certified in the treatment of lymphedema, Kim completed the STAR training to address and treat other side effects of cancer including unspecified pain, neuropathy and fatigue. Kim co-founded Progressive Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation with Michael McKindley in October of 2004.

On this week's episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Christine Gallagher joins me to talk about practical strategies for entrepreneurs to implement today! Speaker, trainer, bestselling author and award-winning business coach Christine Gallagher is founder of ShesGotClients.com, a company dedicated to teaching women around the globe how to find more meaning, fulfillment and purpose in their life through the power of entrepreneurship. In this episode, we discuss: -5 red flags that can tell you if you need to delegate -What Christine calls "Genius Work" and methods of discovering your strengths -How to develop and manage a team that compliments your business needs -Christine's favorite project management tools -And so much more! Entrepreneurial people often try to "do it all," but a better strategy is to do what you are best at and delegate the rest. Christine advices, "Entrepreneurs who end up wearing all the hats start to feel like, 'Well, even if I don't know how to do this, it still needs to get done so I should do it.' But if that keeps coming up, that's something you need to pay attention to… That's when you know that that needs to be delegated." Sometimes it can be easy for entrepreneurs to lose track of how much time they are putting into their work. Christine talks about exercises for entrepreneurs to rethink what they spend energy on and how they are compensated. She shares, "Think about what [you] are worth per hour doing [your] genius work. Genius work is what you love, what you're extremely good at, what gives you energy instead of takes your energy away." As you develop your team, assessing strengths and assigning the right roles is key to getting the most value from each member. She stresses, "It really helps team members understand that they play an important role in the company and often because it's because of the strengths that they have." For more information on Christine: Speaker, trainer, bestselling author and award-winning business coach Christine Gallagher is founder of ShesGotClients.com, a company dedicated to teaching women around the globe how to find more meaning, fulfillment and purpose in their life through the power of entrepreneurship. Christine believes that when entrepreneurs find the courage to share their gifts and their message in a much bigger way, they will not only attract raving fans, enroll more clients, and enjoy more income, they also become a force for positive change in the world. After applying Christine's proven marketing methods, which she teaches via her Impact Academy and live workshops, her students and attendees typically experience a significant increase in subscribers, clients, sales and lucrative joint venture opportunities. Most importantly, they find a renewed sense of purpose and passion, allowing them to step into their bigger vision, connect to their "why" in order to serve at the highest level, and make a lasting, true impact in the world through a business they love. The Huffington Post declared Christine to be one of "16 Brilliant Business Minds on Twitter," she's won the Bronze Stevie Award for "Business Mentor/Coach of the Year" for 2014, and she's an Amazon bestselling author.

Happy New Year to the Healthy Wealthy and Smart family! To start off 2017, I had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. David Butler to the show to chat about his work, Explain Pain Supercharged, co-written by Dr. Lorimer Moseley. David is a clinician, an international freelance educator, an Adjunct Associate Professor with the University of South Australia and an Honoured Lifetime Member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association. His professional interests focus around the integration of neurobiology into clinical decision making and public and professional education in pain, stress and performance management.

Reconceptulizing pain as a protective signal instead of a marker of injury or disease is an important target concept to improve pain outcomes for persistent pain patients. David states, "The primary root metaphor out there has been pain is enemy. Therefore you see pain killers, war against pain, shotgun approach. It's a big battle but we're trying to change the primary metaphor to pain is protector so therefore pain softener, you can be sore but safe, hurt not harm and to get metaphors coming off this deeper, deeper conceptual metaphor." One of David's goals of Explain Pain Supercharged is to create a digestible curriculum for patient education. David believes, "Knowledge is the greatest pain liberator of all." Physical therapists are at the forefront of empowering chronic pain patients with effective alternatives to pharmaceuticals. David stresses, "Your own drug cabinet in the brain can be more powerful than anything else." For more information on David: David Butler is a physiotherapy graduate of the University of Queensland (1978). He has a graduate diploma in advanced manipulative therapy (1985), a masters degree by research from the University of South Australia (1996) and a doctorate in education from Flinders University (2010).

On this week's episode, Paul Potter joins me to chat about the elements of starting a cash practice from scratch. For more than 35 years, Paul Potter has successfully managed his own private practice and has authored On Fire: Ignite Your Passion with a Cash Therapy Practice and the Cash Practice From Scratch Course. He helps therapists fulfill their calling and create their own dream practice at his PaulPotterPT.com and CashPracticeFromScratch.com websites. In this episode, we discuss: -How to build an entrepreneur mindset and achieve professional freedom -How to align your strengths with your ideal client base -Why crafting a memorable patient experience will boost your practice and ultimately the profession -The six essential steps therapists should take to launch a successful practice -And so much more! Paul encourages every therapist to build their own brand and style of care as a way to stay motivated. Paul states, "Every therapist should own their own practice whether in business for themselves or not." Competing in the marketplace comes down to one key factor. Paul stresses, "The therapist that will become a little bit more consumer focused and step out of the older models, save the best from the previous models and the heritage we have as a profession, and bring that into the new 21st century, those are the ones that will survive, do the best job and have the best patient experience." To have a sustainable business in the long term, crafting a memorable patient experience can be an important differentiator. Paul believes, "There is a consumer movement happening where they are taking control of their healthcare dollar." From Paul's extensive experience, he has discovered that, "Private practice is born out of community and the more you can share that with accountants, my business friends, my wife, my good friends, those were so key in helping me launch a sustainable career that I still love 35 years later." For more information on Paul: Paul is a physical therapist and mentor who lives in Nebraska with his wife, who is also a therapist. They have four daughters. For more than 35 years he successfully managed his own private practice. He now guides therapists on how to start up their own practice at his website PaulPotterpt.com and podcast. Paul created the Cash Therapy Success Academy because he believes in the power and impact of therapy entrepreneurs creating small business. Therapy provided in large organizations is essential and make no mistake we need it. But the real magic begins with entrepreneurs –born with the unique gift to build successful businesses. Paul knows what it's like to begin a start-up for less than $100 when he lacked the necessary finances and self-confidence. He experienced what it's like to start all over when devastated by a life threatening diagnosis. After managing his own private practice for over 35 years Paul knows how valuable it is to have the support and guidance from family, friends and experienced mentors. The Cash Therapy Success Academy exists to help entrepreneurs like you create a fulfilling and profitable practice for yourself and those you care about. We provide quality resources and training through courses, books, and coaching found on the PaulPotterPT.com blog and Cash Therapy Success Academy.

On this week's episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Erin Jackson joins me to answer audience questions on healthcare law for physical therapists. Erin is a healthcare attorney, consultant, and health equity advocate. She also is a Managing Partner of Jackson LLP, a healthcare law firm in Chicago, and a Principal of Jackson & Co., a healthcare consultancy serving the compliance and business needs of providers and practices nationwide. In this episode, we discuss: -Why every independent PT practice owner needs a Privacy Policies and Procedures manual -How to know if your practice falls under HIPAA rules and regulations -Can referrals and profit sharing be kickbacks? -Creative solutions for pro-bono work -What a good legal representative should know and how to find the right one for your practice -Everything you need to know about treating Medicare patients if you're an out of network provider -And so much more! Before committing to your first job, Erin encourages reading the fine print to ensure it is the right fit for you. She recommends to not, "take one that really isn't going to allow you to treat in the way that you have spent all this time educating yourself to treat. You really deserve to be in an environment that advances your profession and professional existence in a way that matches your vision and all of your hard work for the past several years." There is a conflict of interest when incentivizing current patients to refer others to your clinic. Erin states the consequences are, "It potentially thwarts the accuracy of information about the quality of the services when people are getting financial benefit." Hiring a healthcare lawyer is essential when incorporating your practice to avoid unnecessary challenges. Erin states, "The number one mistake I see people making is they have had their accountants set up their businesses. Now most of the time this is okay if you're opening a widget store however different rules apply to opening healthcare practices." For out of network providers, the argument for treating Medicare patients has high risk. Erin stresses, "If you're not in trial and you haven't been caught or gotten in trouble for this stuff, I would say most people's risk tolerance is way too low to tolerate this sort of risk… If you want to see Medicare beneficiaries, then take Medicare." For more information about Erin: Erin Jackson is a healthcare attorney, consultant, and health equity advocate. She is the Managing Partner of Jackson LLP, a healthcare law firm in Chicago, and a Principal of Jackson & Co., a healthcare consultancy serving the compliance and business needs of providers and practices nationwide. In addition to her healthcare practice, Erin serves as the President of the nonprofit organization Inspire Santé. Using her healthcare knowledge and patient experience, she speaks to healthcare providers about the importance of maintaining a patient-centered practice. In the past year, she spoke at the APTA's Combined Sections Meeting, keynoted the Michigan Physical Therapy Association's conference, and appeared on podcasts like the APTA's MoveForward Radio. In 2017, she will be speaking at physical therapy conferences around the country and expanding her reach as an educator, consultant, and advocate. Websites: Jackson & Co.

Monique's experiences with overcoming chronic pain have taught her the importance of positive thinking and challenging personal fears and limitations.

" Monique is a strong believer that optimal nutrition and health looks different for everyone and requires self-reflection and experimentation. She recommends that you "Start to become a little more intuitive with your body and start to really notice what your body is telling you."

On this week's episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Dr. Jamey Schrier joins me to discuss the tools necessary for an automated private practice. Jamey is a private practice physical therapy owner whose mission is to teach clinic owners exactly how to free themselves from their grueling daily work schedule, how to make more money and have more free time. With his book The Automated Practice: Success Secrets for Working Less and Earning More which has been an Amazon #1 best seller and his online education course, The Automated Private Practice, he has helped hundreds of owners with concrete strategies to automate and grow their business. In this episode, we discuss: -How Jamey transitioned from a clinician to a successful private practice owner -The top three things that challenge private practice owners and what to do about them -Why successful automation is mostly about building the right team for you practice -The tools and technology Jamey uses to boost efficiency and grow his practice -And much, much more! Clarity is a key when transitioning from a clinician mindset to an owner mindset. Jamey stresses, "What do you want and how fast do you want it? Because we are in control, nothing else is controlling our future but us." Jamey believes that practical leadership is not accomplished through self-sacrifice but rather building a great team and effectively delegating duties. He states, "We can't do it all. So swallow your egos, swallow your pride, and be the real leader in your practice and bring great people on your team. Get people to take stuff off your plate that you don't like the most. Do it tomorrow—I promise you, it will come back to you 100 fold. " If your goal is to ultimately automate your practice, one of Jamey's biggest pieces of wisdom is, "You are not here to serve your business, your business is here to serve you. Build your business around you—build it around your superpowers, your natural ability, your passion. Build it around you and it will be the most successful business possible because you don't serve the business well by doing things you don't like, and frankly you're not good at." For more information about Jamey: In 2004, Jamey Schrier was facing the soul-crushing struggles of private practice ownership. He couldn't figure out how to grow his business without sacrificing his family, income or time. Armed with an insatiable curiosity, Jamey invested the next 9 years and over $300,000 to learn how to automate his practice. At the end of his journey, Jamey finally discovered the formula to creating a self-managed, profitable and stable practice that allowed more time with his family and more time to work "on" his business. Today, Jamey is sharing his methodology and what he learned to practice owners all across the country. His book, The Automated Practice: Success Secrets for Working Less and Earning More, has been an Amazon #1 best seller and his online education course, The Automated Private Practice, has helped hundreds of owners with concrete strategies to automate and grow their business. Today, Jamey spends most of his time teaching practice owners how to apply his methodologies through his revolutionary program called Lighthouse Leader. As Jamey tells the story, a Lighthouse Leader is a professional practice owner committed to achieving personal freedom from the day the day stresses of business ownership without sacrificing income or quality of service. His unique approach combines sound business principles with best practices that he learned over 20 years in business. Jamey's true gift is in his ability to share his wisdom in a fun, easy to understand and implement, way. Jamey lives in the Washington D.C. area with his wife, Colleen, and two kids, Jack and Gracie. When not having fun with his family, you can find him on the basketball court, the golf course or reading in his favorite spot on the porch.
