CMS Health Equity Program

In this episode we explore the new CMS framework for health equity.  Health equity as a regulatory mandate is a new concept.  We’ve long had some related requirements including a) ADA physical environment rules, b) ant-discrimination and c) language assistance.  But until now, we have not seen a regulatory focus on health equity. Join us for this episode with Cris Lopez, VillageMD Vice President of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and Gary Jacobs, Executive Director of VillageMD Center for Public Policy, as we dive into what this means and what’s to come from this within healthcare in the future.

Primary Care Malpractice Trends Episode 1

The tide may be turning on medical malpractice trends and I think we should explain what this means. Primary care physicians have historically not had high rates of malpractice claims, but we see this trend changing. Not to worry, however, because Kelley Smits, the Director of Risk Management at VillageMD, discusses how to prevent these problems with VillageMD’s National Medical Director Dr. Torontow. In Part 1 we will discuss the data that’s coming out on these trends, where to find it, and how to avoid becoming one of these statistics. Stay tuned for Part 2 for Case studies and additional best practices!
