Send us Fan MailMost hospitals measure the wrong thing. D'Alessandro measures velocity - how fast patients move in and out- and shows how a simple admit-versus-discharge graph exposes exactly where flow gets blocked. A full ICU is rarely full of the sickest patients. It is often one missing tele bed backing up a surgeon. He makes the case for changing the goal from cost to flow.LinkedInWebsiteSee More ChalkTalkJim Episodes
Send us Fan MailPeter Kevorkian, President of Life Chiropractic College West, makes the case that American healthcare is really disease care, a system that waits for something to break before it acts. He explains the difference between prevention and true health optimization, why the nervous system sits at the center of how the body adapts, and how chiropractic can keep people well from the day they are born to the day they die.LinkedInWebsiteSee More ChalkTalkJim Episodes

Send us Fan MailDr. Pam Theriot, an optometrist and dry eye specialist, explains how the modern screen habit is quietly damaging our eyes.

Send us Fan MailPatent attorney James Gourley walks through three IP concepts that trip up healthcare innovators: the first-to-file system that rewards speed over invention dates, the freedom-to-operate opinion that protects you from willful infringement damages, and the one-year disclosure clock that has killed more patents than any examiner ever has.

Send us Fan MailCooper Zelnick of Groups Recover Together explains how an outpatient model built around small-group community and value-based contracts is reshaping addiction care.

Send us Fan MailThree-time founder Sam Yeruva of PyCube joins Jim to break down the unglamorous, mission-critical work of operational reliability in hospitals. Sam explains why he abandoned expensive GPS-style asset tracking for an E-Z Pass model built on passive RFID and software, how PyCube onboarded three hospitals in a single morning, and why pathology samples, blood, and biomed calibration all hinge on knowing where things are. The throughline: standardize the workflow first, because there is no AI without practical intelligence.LinkedInWebsiteSee More ChalkTalkJim Episodes
Send us Fan MailLily Vittayarukskul, co-founder and CEO of Waterlily, joins Jim to discuss how personalized prediction can replace the panic that follows a long-term care event.

The conversation covers self-funding versus insurance, the rate action problem, and why financial advisors must lead the long-term care conversation.LinkedInWebsiteSee More ChalkTalkJim Episodes
Send us Fan MailTurning Denied Claims Into Revenue With AI:Roughly one in ten healthcare claims gets denied, and most billing teams sit on a backlog that they never fully work through. Roshan Patel, founder and CEO of Arrow, shows how AI at the back end of the revenue cycle recovers 60 to 70 percent of claims and pays providers 50 percent faster. The lesson for healthcare leaders, the hidden revenue is already sitting in your rejected claims.LinkedInWebsiteSee More ChalkTalkJim Episodes
