Lost In Misinterpretation

What if the reason your boss wants you in the office has nothing to do with your productivity — and everything to do with their ego? Scott Middleton admits it: he walked around his 30,000-square-foot corporate office on a Friday afternoon, found nobody, and got irritated. Then he caught himself. The data said his team was productive. The irritation was his ego talking. That moment of self-awareness opens a much bigger conversation about what happens when leaders — in business and in healthcare — stop reading the evidence and start acting on assumption. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott and Jamie dig into: Why most CEOs pushing return-to-office mandates are solving for ego, not outcomes — and the New York Times data that proves it How Your Health is shifting from counting patients to measuring risk scores — and why that changes everything about how care teams are built The "legs grow back on January 1st" problem: how the Medicare system loses patient diagnoses every year and why hospice patients often appear healthier right before they die Why misinterpreting hospice rules is putting patients on the wrong track — and costing providers in ways they don't see coming The role of chaplains in advanced care planning, and why getting that right could reduce hospitalizations and change end-of-life outcomes South Carolina's jump from 49th to 26th in healthcare quality rankings — and what it means for the rest of the country Scott closes with a mission statement that's hard to argue with: at 67, he could have retired. He didn't. If this conversation lights something up in you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. www.YourHealth.Org
