This week Sid talks to one of the biggest and brightest stars in country music – Lainey Wilson. Back in May, he drove up to Nashville and got to have this conversation in person at Lainey’s farmhouse outside of town. The occasion was a Southern Living cover shoot, and Lainey and Sid sat down on a pair of comfortable chairs in her speakeasy-style basement, which is where she writes a lot of her songs. Lainey couldn’t have been more welcoming as a host, even though she’d been touring nonstop for her latest album, Whirlwind . She’s also hosting the CMA Awards in mid-November, and she’s appearing in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel Reminders of Him early next year. But Lainey has clearly not forgotten her small-town roots in Baskin, Louisiana, or the importance of good friends, family, and her faith. She talked a lot about how she stays grounded, how she keeps holding on despite a wild few years in Nashville, and the importance of keeping her people close. She also told some funny stories about her fiance, Devlin Hodges, who goes by Duck, and how she and her family celebrate Thanksgiving.

Building a Future-Ready Orthopaedics System: Leadership, Integration, and Value 36:08

vor 16 Tagen36:08

What if a health system could be massive and still feel local to every patient it serves? We sit down with Dr. MaCalus Hogan, chair of orthopedic surgery at UPMC, to unpack how a hybrid model—academic, community-employed, and private partners—can deliver scale without sameness. Dr. Hogan shares the leadership habits that shaped his path (mentorship, humility, listening first) and how those habits translate into practical decisions that align surgeons, hospitals, and health plans around value. We pull back the curtain on horizontal integration—building trust and shared standards across regions—before moving into vertical integration that connects financing, bundles, post-acute care, and data. Dr. Hogan explains how UPMC leveraged CJR-era lessons to create surgeon-built programs for quality and cost, mirrored within a 4M+ member health plan. Expect clear insights on center-of-excellence designations, optimizing post-acute spend, and the realities of TEAMS participation. We also dig into consolidation with eyes wide open: comparing contracts, unlocking economies of scale, and reinvesting savings into community access points like ambulatory surgery centers and subspecialty services where patients actually live. Looking 15–20 years ahead, Dr. Hogan argues the big will get bigger, but winners will collaborate, not copy-and-paste. Markets differ, payer mixes shift, and culture matters. The future favors systems that listen locally and act decisively—standardizing where it helps, flexing where it counts. If you care about orthopedic leadership, bundles, payer alignment, and how to grow without breaking what works, this conversation offers a grounded playbook. Enjoy the episode?

Moving beyond typical discussions of value-based care, Dr. Mather reframes the entire conversation. "Value-based care is financial innovation to solve important healthcare problems," he explains. These problems extend far beyond cost control to address clinician burnout, prior authorization burdens, care gaps, declining profitability, and health equity. For surgeons planning their careers, understanding this broader context proves essential. The discussion dives deep into why procedural bundles like CJR and BPCI have limitations despite their promise. "Bundles are a building block," Mather notes, explaining their volatility problems and how they've made value-based care appear to be a "joints and spine initiative" rather than engaging entire practices. He then explores the complex world of condition-based bundles, global risk, and capitation models, illustrating why the shift from fee-for-service feels like "entering a dark forest" for many surgeons.…

Whether you're contemplating your first practice or considering a job change, this conversation offers invaluable guidance from those who've successfully navigated multiple transitions. AOA Emerging Leader Aaron Brandt, MD, had a discussion with Antonia Chen, MD, FAOA, and Clayton Nuelle, MD, about transitioning jobs early in your career, and how to decide what your non-negotiables are for your workplace environment. What drives these transitions? As our guests reveal, it's often a combination of "push factors" moving you away from your current situation and "pull factors" drawing you toward new opportunities. Despite the statistic that over 50% of surgeons change their first job within three years, these transitions are rarely discussed openly, leaving many physicians feeling isolated when considering a move. Both physicians share candid insights about creating personal lists of "negotiables" versus "non-negotiables" when evaluating both current and potential positions. Both surgeons advocate for transparency with leadership when considering opportunities and leveraging mentorship networks to find positions aligned with your evolving career goals.

Virtual Reality (VR) training is impacting orthopaedics for both residents and educators. The ease of access and affordability of virtual reality education allows residents to practice and be better prepared in the OR, while also allowing the educators to assess the resident’s performance and teach them the best habits and actions to operate at the highest level. While typical training methods give haptic feedback to residents, virtual reality allows both haptic and real data feedback to assess competency. In addition to the different types of feedback that VR provides, it also can help foster mentorship both live or on demand, which helps promote a synchronous learning experience for the mentor and mentee. Dr. Goel expresses his excitement and optimism about the future role that VR and AI will play in the world of orthopaedics to provide the best training to future orthopaedic surgeons.…

Douglas W. Lundy, MD, MBA, FAOA, discussed generational shifts and worldview changes in orthopaedics with Lisa Lattanza, MD, FAOA, Chair of Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation at Yale School of Medicine. Dr. Lattanza sees a lot of similarities between the residents of today, and those during her time of residency. Although there are generational differences in technology and practices, there are many positive changes that allow orthopaedic surgeons to become competent and successful in their practice. Young faculty prefers to have a culture that supports their professional and personal lives, allowing them to develop their leadership skills and become a working member of society. Some of the major differences between generations are the faster adaptation to technology and the increased effort to support diversity amongst the orthopaedic profession. Both factors allow for orthopaedic surgeons to become better poised to solve issues in medicine, use more forward thinking, and expand their leadership to a more inclusive culture.…

Douglas W. Lundy, MD, MBA, FAOA, spoke with Scott Porter, MD, FAOA, Orthopaedic Oncologist and Vice Chair of Operations in the Department of Orthopaedics at Prisma Health, Greenville, South Carolina, to discuss how changes in compensation will affect access to patient care in the future. Throughout the discussion, the concepts of rationing healthcare, bundling, and the future of compensation models are evaluated. Dr. Porter explains that compensation affects physician behavior which directly impacts access to patient care. The limitation or creation of access to patient care is created by the physician, while rationing healthcare is only due to overconsumption. Dr. Porter describes his ideal situation for future patient care, which involves a way to fund a healthcare account owned by the patient. This can be used as a means to pay for healthcare in the future, which can also be gifted and transferred to others. In conclusion, Dr. Porter states that it is not a matter of whether changes in compensation will affect access to patient care, but how it will influence access.…
