This week on Open Source Health, Tripp checks in from Valencia, Spain, reflecting on what it means to lead with intentionality while managing complexity back home. Marcus and Tripp unpack the personal and organizational shifts that made this kind of work-from-anywhere leadership possible, from data infrastructure to performance management systems. They dive into how deliberate leadership transitions—like Dr. Book stepping into the Chief Medical Officer role—reflect a broader organizational commitment to aligning personal growth with company strategy.

They also announce a major next step for Advaita Health: launching a Mental Health PHP/IOP (Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Program). The conversation explores how building a closed-loop behavioral health system requires both patience and long-term vision, resisting the urge to chase short-term wins in favor of sustainable impact.

Key Topics:

• What slow productivity looks like for a CEO working abroad
• The leadership development philosophy behind Advaita’s recent medical leadership changes
• How data and management infrastructure support strategic decision-making
• Why Advaita is moving toward a true integrated outpatient behavioral health system
• The internal debate: When is the right time to launch new services?
