    About this Episode

    Dr. Jeff Bailet is president and chief executive officer of Altais, a subsidiary of Blue Shield of California. Altais was formed to help physicians and their practices reduce administrative burden, spend more time with patients, and improve access to quality, affordable health care. Dr. Bailet has more than 25 years of healthcare leadership experience having served as executive vice president of Blue Shield of California’s Health Care Quality and Affordability division, executive vice president at Aurora Health Care and President of Aurora Health Care Medical Group and CMO of PacMed Clinics, a multispecialty medical group in Seattle.

    He also currently chairs the federal Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC), established by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA).

    Like me, he’s a board-certified otolaryngologist having completed residency at UCLA and holds a master of science with concentration in Environmental Health.

    Given his breadth of leadership experience, we discuss how he arrived there, advice he’d give up and comers and then broader questions like where he’d like to see change about the US healthcare system and why physicians need a seat at the table. We also talk about trends physician practices, why smaller practices are good for patients, and what to look for if you’re considering merging with a larger practice or selling your practice.

    As a physician, you routinely check your patients' health. But when was the last time you checked the financial health of your practice? Request your free revenue cycle assessment and learn more from today's sponsor, CareCloud, at www.doctorpodcastnetwork.com/carecloud

    Dr. Chiaramonte's journey from a family physician confronted with patients whose symptoms eluded conventional treatments to a leading figure in integrative palliative medicine encapsulates her dedication to holistic patient care. Her initial foray into integrative practices began out of necessity, sharing wellbeing practices with patients and witnessing remarkable improvements. This experience led her to a distinguished tenure at the University of Maryland School of Medicine’s Center for Integrative Medicine, fostering her belief in a care approach that honors the whole person. A personal crisis with her daughter’s health further shaped her perspective, highlighting the necessity of a truly integrated approach that marries the best of conventional medicine with evidence-supported complementary methods. This realization propelled her to specialize in palliative medicine, aiming to heal lives when curing disease isn't an option. Founding the Integrative Palliative Institute, Dr. Chiaramonte now seeks to train clinicians in integrative palliative care, emphasizing the importance of clinician wellbeing to prevent compassion fatigue. Her mission is clear: to train 1,000 clinicians by 2030, ensuring patients receive care that is as compassionate as it is comprehensive.
