The challenges healthcare executives and administrators face are constantly changing. Host Kevin Stevenson talks with the heroes behind the heroes that are enabling hospitals, urgent care centers and telemedicine operators to spend their time tending to patients, while they handle the logistics.

Mental health is a topic that was trending well before the pandemic took its toll, but it is even more important that we have open conversations about mental health now. Pathways to Empower, which provides resources to help teach people the brain science of building resilience and fostering mental health is doing just that.

On today’s episode, Kevin Stevenson speaks with Donna Volpita, Founder & Education Director, Pathways to Empower to learn more about how we can all work towards mental wellness. One way to keep the conversation going on such a challenging topic is to embrace mental health literacy. “Literacy is just an understanding of a subject. So mental health literacy is just the ability to understand and talk about mental health. So just like, you know, literacy in terms of books is can you talk about reading? Can you have a discussion about the novel? And math is having discussions about math things, but mental health literacy, right now, there’s such a stigma,” Volpita said.

She went on to explain that teaching people how to take care of their mental health is just as important as teaching them about physical health. That being said, Volpita acknowledges that these conversations are not easy to have. “But we don’t talk about mental health and very few people feel comfortable talking about mental health. Now, we are seeing that this next generation is much more comfortable,” Volpita noted.

Her goal is to make mental health much more of a common discussion. “We would like to change the paradigm in mental health to be more about being proactive. How do we prevent mental health issues rather than being reactive and only be about treating mental health issues?” Volpita said.

HFMA’s new chair is a hospital CFO as Medicare reporting gets more detailed and revenue cycle work gets more technical

HFMA’s new chair is a hospital CFO as Medicare reporting gets more detailed and revenue cycle work gets more technical

HFMA named Corewell Health CFO Matthew E. Cox as its national chair effective June 1, 2026, while elevating revenue cycle and reimbursement leaders to its board, according to HFMA’s GlobeNewswire announcement. The association’s own coverage of CMS’s FY 2027 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule summary and new Medicare cost-reporting requirements such as Worksheet S-12 indicates a compliance workload that is increasingly data- and documentation-heavy for hospital finance and reporting teams. In parallel, HFMA’s certification catalog, including the Certified Hospital Cost Report Specialist (CHCRS) and Certified Specialist Payment & Reimbursement (CSPR), points to how health systems are professionalizing the skill sets needed to operationalize reimbursement policy changes. For operators, the practical consequence shows up in staffing models, audit readiness, and the data plumbing needed to produce defensible cost reports and faster revenue cycle decisions.

  • 01HFMA’s board slate now visibly includes roles that control the work: a system CFO (Corewell Health) and a chief revenue officer overseeing $7 billion in patient revenue at Orlando Health, per GlobeNewswire. That’s a signal that cost reporting and revenue cycle execution are board-level concerns, not back-office chores.
  • 02Medicare cost reporting is moving toward more granular worksheets and documentation, and each new CMS reporting requirement becomes a data-integration project before it becomes a policy memo, per HFMA’s reporting on Worksheet S-12 and its FY 2027 IPPS/LTCH PPS coverage.
  • 03HFMA’s CHCRS, CRCR, and CSPR credentials provide a concrete way to benchmark internal capability: if cost report preparation, managed care contract terms, and prior auth workflows live in different teams, credentialing can reveal where handoffs are breaking down.

FDA QMSR ties supplier contracts to inspection prep

FDA QMSR ties supplier contracts to inspection prep

FDA’s Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) took effect Feb. 2, 2026, incorporating ISO 13485:2016 into 21 CFR Part 820 and shifting inspections to a process-based model under Compliance Program 7382.850, according to MD+DI. That change is starting to show up outside the quality department: medical device OEMs are being pushed to spell out documentation, audit support, and change-control responsibilities in contract manufacturing agreements, as Medical Design and Outsourcing described. Two recent partnership moves, Ratio Therapeutics expanding radiopharmaceutical manufacturing with PharmaLogic in Idaho Falls and Menicon shifting U.S. Rose K manufacturing access to three partners after concluding a prior arrangement, illustrate how multi-party supply chains now need contract terms that map directly to integrated QMS evidence. The operational consequence is simple: under CP 7382.850, a complaint, supplier nonconformance, or process change can pull investigators across CAPA, risk management, purchasing, and design records in one thread, so contracts and quality records have to be built to travel together.

  • 01Under FDA CP 7382.850, inspection risk increasingly sits in the “handoffs” between complaint handling, CAPA, supplier controls, and the Risk Management File, so quality evidence has to be assembled end-to-end, not by department.
  • 02For OEMs outsourcing manufacturing, the most useful contract test in 2026 is whether each clause produces inspectable artifacts, who owns them, where they live, and how fast they can be produced during an audit.
  • 03Multi-partner manufacturing models, like Menicon’s three-partner Rose K availability and Ratio’s capacity expansion with PharmaLogic, raise the bar on configuration control, supplier risk classification, and change notification across sites.

Interchangeable biosimilars cut drug spend only when pharmacies can actually switch them

Interchangeable biosimilars cut drug spend only when pharmacies can actually switch them

The FDA’s interchangeable biosimilar pathway is moving from a one-off insulin milestone to a repeatable playbook for pharmacy-level substitution, with Wezlana (ustekinumab-auub) approved as interchangeable to Stelara in late 2023 and a first interchangeable biosimilar to golimumab reported in September 2026. Evidence from a JAMA Health Forum economic evaluation cited by Podiatry Today found that insulin glargine interchangeability in November 2021 was followed by an immediate jump of more than 47,000 prescriptions for Semglee and insulin glargine-yfgn, suggesting the designation itself can change dispensing behavior. For hospitals, health systems, and payers, the operational consequence shows up less in the FDA letter and more in formulary design, NDC-level claims logic, pharmacy notification requirements that vary by state, and the inventory and education workflows that make substitution predictable instead of chaotic.

  • 01Interchangeability is a workflow change, not a clinical debate. The systems that decide spend are NDC mapping, e-prescribe defaults, and pharmacy switch rules governed by state law.
  • 02The pipeline is widening beyond diabetes. Wezlana’s interchangeability to Stelara (Healthcare Purchasing News) and a newly reported interchangeable golimumab biosimilar (Journal of Healthcare Management/AJN via Ovid) signal more specialty and infusion-adjacent categories will face pharmacy-level substitution decisions.
