Jeff Gartland, Relatient (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 411)

Relieving the pain point of patient engagement with their healthcare provider is the focus for Relatient, especially with their recent merger with Radix Health. In this conversation with host John Ray, CEO Jeff Gartland shared how Relatient serves both patient and provider with a solution that involves scheduling, engagement, automation, and the multiple processes that go into successfully managing patient communication. North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Relatient

Relatient is passionate about assisting healthcare organizations with patient-centered engagement. By helping organizations automate patient-centered outreach and messaging, we help practices, hospitals and health systems facilitate more compliant, and ultimately healthier, patient populations.

The old methods of patient engagement are well-intentioned but ineffective because they overlook a key element: the patient. It’s not enough to push patients to a portal or an app. A patient engagement platform must be designed with the patient at the center, with the patient driving the solutions.

As reimbursement models continue to shift toward outcomes-based medicine, the need for improved patient compliance increases. We all see that reality. The question is, how will your organization meet that need? We’re here to help.

Instead of inviting patients to information and services, why not push the information and services relevant to them, as they need it and in ways which they can quickly respond to it? A patient-centered approach to engagement not only improves outcomes, it improves patient satisfaction.

Jeff held senior leadership roles spanning health information exchange, patient engagement, clinical revenue integrity, claims and eligibility management, population health, and analytics.

Before McKesson, he worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Health Industry Advisory supporting healthcare providers on strategic physician alignment models, service line growth programs, and financial due diligence and authored the firm’s thought leadership on presidential health policy proposals as part of the Health Research Institute.

Diane Weinberg, Weinberg Elder Law, LLC (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 410)

Interested in the issues involved and lessons to learn from #FreeBritney? Diane Weinberg, Principal at Weinberg Elder Law, joined host John Ray to discuss guardianships, conservatorships (such as the recent case involving singer Britney Spears), protecting the rights of incapacitated individuals, issues to know for families who want to protect their loved ones, how the courts operate in these cases, and much more. North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Weinberg Elder Law, LLC

As competent adults, we have the legal right to make both good and bad decisions every day. Unfortunately, some individuals lack the ability to process the information needed to make their own decisions. Their intellectual disabilities may be genetic (e.g., a child born with autism) or they may be the result of a traumatic brain injury, illness, or the development of adult-onset dementia. For these individuals, the law provides protection in the form of guardianships and conservatorships.

WEL can help individuals obtain a guardianship or conservatorship of an individual requiring court protection as well as counsel families as to the varies types of guardianships and conservatorships that are available. WEL manages all aspects of the guardianship and conservatorship, from the inception to the final hearing.

For centuries, the law has recognized individuals occupying this position of trust as “fiduciaries.” Fiduciaries include agents under powers of attorney, trustees, guardians, and conservators, and executors and administrators of estates. Fiduciaries owe the highest standard of duty and loyalty to the individuals or entities they protect, and they can suffer significant liability when they fail to do so. Most fiduciaries do their best to perform their assigned duties. Unfortunately, fiduciaries sometimes fall short because they do not fully understand what is expected of them. For example, they may forget to send the required reports to beneficiaries or fail to properly track expenditures.

Sometimes fiduciaries abuse their position:

They may withhold funds from a trust unless the beneficiary takes a certain action.
They may withhold funds because they become angry with the beneficiaries.
They may steal from the people they are supposed to protect.

Weinberg Elder Law, LLC can help distinguish between overwhelmed fiduciaries from those who are abusing their powers, and WEL can advise the parties as to the appropriate course of action.

Elder abuse cases exist where guardianship or conservatorship and a fiduciary dispute intersect with the criminal statutes. At the center of these cases resides a vulnerable population: an elderly person or an adult with cognitive impairment or other disability. Weinberg Elder Law has developed a special interest in protecting our most vulnerable populations from financial exploitation as well as from neglect and physical, sexual, and emotional abuse.

The solution for rescuing and protecting an individual who has been subject to exploitation and abuse is complex. Through Weinberg Elder Law’s experience in these matters over the years, they are uniquely qualified to help both individuals who are being abused and the family and friends who want to protect them.

Dr. T. Ramon Stuart, President of Clayton State University (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 409)

Dr. T. Ramon Stuart, recently installed as President of Clayton State University, joined host John Ray to offer his vision for Clayton State University, the students it serves, and the broader Laker Nation. Dr. Stuart also shared the inspiration for his education journey he received from his mother, some of the high points from his recent “State of the University” address, and much more. North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Clayton State University

Clayton State University is a public university in Morrow, Georgia. Clayton State University is a part of the University System of Georgia. The campus is located fifteen minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The University has 208 full-time faculty and 356 full-time staff.

The institution was founded in 1969 and was originally known as Clayton Junior College. When the school became a four-year institution in 1986, the institute took on the name Clayton State College. In 1996, the Georgia Board of Regents renamed many higher-ed institutions, with Clayton State becoming Clayton College & State University. In 2005, the name was changed to Clayton State University.

University Website | LinkedIn | Facebook | Twitter

Dr. T. Ramon Stuart, President, Clayton State University

Dr. T. Ramon Stuart assumed the role of Clayton State University’s fifth president on July 1, 2021. As the first African American to hold this position, Dr. Stuart joins the university after serving as the provost and vice president of Academic Affairs at Fort Valley State University (FVSU) in Fort Valley, Georgia.

During his six-year tenure at FVSU, Dr. Stuart led the academic colleges and degree programs, aspects of enrollment management such as retention, and other major administrative areas that included a sponsored research portfolio that was the fifth-largest among 26 institutions within the University System of Georgia (USG).

Under Dr. Stuart’s guidance, FVSU witnessed an average retention rate of 75%, increased enrollment, improved the graduation rate by 15% over a two-year period, and led the USG in the number of first-time, full-time freshmen who enrolled in at least 15 credit hours per semester.

Prior to joining FVSU, Dr. Stuart was a faculty member and administrator at West Virginia State University in Institute, West Virginia. His accomplishments there included developing an engineering 2+2 program, aiding in increasing retention by almost 10% over four academic years, serving on the self-study reaffirmation steering committee responsible for achieving a 10-year reaffirmation of accreditation, and helping to increase overall enrollment.

Dr. Stuart is known for his commitment to student success in the classroom and beyond. At the age of 24, he began teaching computer science at West Virginia State Community and Technical College also located in Institute, West Virginia. He excelled in this role and during his second year, peers named him Professor of the Year. Later that year they unanimously elected him to serve as the faculty senate president making him the youngest person to hold that position in the history of the institution. He held that post for two consecutive terms.

Raised in the small coal-mining town of Welch, West Virginia, Dr. Stuart realized at a very young age the transformative impact that education could have on one’s life, one’s family, and ultimately one’s community. That realization has been the driving force behind his motivation to provide opportunities for students to not only obtain their degrees but to excel in their chosen fields.

While serving at FVSU, Dr. Stuart secured over $4 million in grants and scholarship funding to reduce the cost of expenses for students and to help prepare them for careers in coveted STEM fields such as genome engineering, computational data science, and biotechnology.

Identifying the need for talent in the local multi-million dollar film industry and recognizing a shortage of financial technology professionals, Dr. Stuart developed minors in those fields to equip students with the skillsets needed to quickly fill voids in the workforce.

Committed to enhancing community partnerships, Dr. Stuart collaborated with Robins Air Force Base to develop an employment pipeline for students majoring in supply chain management; established an agreement with Georgia Power to create a 100-acre solar farm with a 9,000 square foot demonstration center that serves as a living laboratory for FVSU students and professors; fostered an articulation agreement with Grand Valley State University to offer an engineering transition program; developed 13 articulation agreements with Georgia Technical College System institutions; and worked with Atrium Health Navicent, Houston Healthcare and Phoebe Putney Hospitals to launch health science degrees.

In addition to enhancing their classroom experience, Dr. Stuart recognizes the value in providing students with mentorship and academic coaching to help them overcome challenges which lead to a 6.8% increase in the institution’s six-year graduation rate.

With a focus on the university’s strategic priorities, all steeped in the mission of providing an exceptional student experience, Dr. Stuart increased the number of full-time faculty by 20%, established training to help more than 50% of the university’s faculty develop online courses that met or exceeded Quality Matters requirements and created a Center for Teaching and Learning which increased the number of faculty development opportunities by 127%.

Dr. Stuart received his education in McDowell County Public Schools before going to West Virginia University where he earned undergraduate and graduate engineering degrees from the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources where he was a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Fellow. He later went on to earn his doctorate in higher education administration from the Gladys W. and David H. Patton College of Education at Ohio University where he was the institution’s first Southern Regional Education Board Fellow.

It was from his humble beginnings in McDowell County that Dr. Stuart learned the power of the words that reminds us that to whom much is given, much is expected. Those words stuck with him throughout the years and are at the root of his commitment to student success, in and out of the classroom.

Many who encounter Dr. Stuart quickly recognize his dedication to helping others to be their best selves. A true servant leader, Dr. Stuart embodies the American dream, the belief that regardless of where you are born, you can determine and attain your own version of success.

Dr. Stuart resides in south Atlanta with his wife Jamilah, a graduate of Howard University and general manager of a Hilton Hotel in Macon, Georgia, and their daughter, Kayleigh Grace.
