Shetty explains CenterWell’s scale (about 400 locations in 15 states serving roughly 600,000 patients) and its senior-focused, value-based, team-based care model designed to improve outcomes and help people “live longer well.” He confirms CenterWell in The Villages is not currently accepting traditional/original Medicare, instead partnering with multiple Medicare Advantage plans, and he is unsure about specialty care coverage details. The conversation covers access and appointment timing, longer average visits (about 40 minutes), behavioral health and depression screening, fulfillment research using patient surveys, proactive prevention and evidence-based screening, care coordination with specialists and hospitals, post-discharge follow-up, home health services, and Alzheimer’s screening and support.00:00 Season 8 Welcome00:45 Meet Dr Shetty01:19 CenterWell Expansion02:34 Medicare Plans Explained03:35 Care Philosophy04:18 Fulfillment Research06:13 Appointments And Urgent Care07:21 Measuring Fulfillment10:02 Mental Health Screening10:53 Longer Visits For Seniors11:53 Alzheimers Tip Break13:36 Medicine 2 Value Based Care16:26 Imaging And Care Coordination17:18 Proactive Heart Screening19:20 Stem Cells And Peptides20:14 Prevention And Treatment Plans21:02 Hospital And Home Health23:23 Alzheimers Screening24:12 Research And Wrap Up25:49 How To Learn More26:17 Credits And Next EpisodeVillages Vitality Listeners, I've got some good news for you.
