Antonio brings more than 20 years of leadership experience across skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and multi-site healthcare operations. Together, they discuss the realities facing rehabilitation providers, including staffing shortages, clinician burnout, rising educational costs, value-based care pressures, and the growing administrative burden placed on frontline teams. The conversation also dives into how emerging technologies—including AI-powered documentation tools, EMR customization, and transcription capabilities—may help reduce friction for clinicians while improving operational efficiency and patient outcomes. Antonio shares real-world examples of how organizations are adapting to these pressures and what separates teams that successfully embrace innovation from those that struggle with change. Dr. Strimel and Antonio also discuss the future of rehabilitation, the importance of organizational culture, the role of prehabilitation before surgery, and why patient education and engagement are critical to improving recovery and preserving independence as the population ages.

   How Greg Sciarra Is Reducing Hospitalizations by 40% Through Prevention and Behavior Change

   Episode Summary What if we could prevent hospitalizations before they happen—at scale? In this episode of the Healthcare Algorhythm Podcast, Dr. Will Strimel sits down with Greg Sciarra, COO of Embrace Prevention Care, to explore a model of care designed to keep seniors healthy, independent, and out of the hospital. Embrace Prevention Care is focused on a fundamental shift in healthcare—from reactive, episodic treatment to continuous, preventive engagement. By helping patients adopt simple, sustainable health behaviors and reinforcing them over time, their team has demonstrated over a 40% reduction in hospitalizations in their patient population. Greg shares how their approach is grounded in geriatric principles like “what matters most,” how they focus on just 1–2 high-impact behaviors across multiple chronic conditions, and why consistent follow-up—not complexity—is the key to lasting change. The conversation also dives into their work within Medicare’s GUIDE pilot program, where they support patients with dementia and their caregivers—addressing one of the most overlooked drivers of outcomes: caregiver burnout. We also discuss: Why healthcare remains fragmented and episodic The real challenges of behavior change in chronic disease How Embrace integrates with primary care rather than replacing it What value-based care has gotten right—and where it still falls short Why preventing one hospitalization may matter more than treating ten This is a conversation about execution, not theory—and what it actually takes to deliver better outcomes in one of healthcare’s most complex populations.
