Open Source Health with Tripp Johnson
Open Source Health is the podcast that doesn't just talk about fixing healthcare—we're actively doing it. I'm Tripp Johnson, CEO of the Advaita Collective, and I'm here to take you behind the scenes as we build a technology-forward, stakeholder-centric healthcare company. Our mission? To bring transparency and innovation to an industry that desperately needs both.
Join us as we dive into the intersections of policy, technology, and hands-on healthcare. We offer a rare glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of creating a system that works for everyone—patients, providers, policymakers, payers, and technologists alike. We'll share our journey of building in the open and have candid conversations with our team and other like-minded change-makers who are as passionate as we are about revolutionizing healthcare.
This is Open Source Health, where we don't just diagnose the problems; we roll up our sleeves and work on the solutions. Let's get started.

Redefining Transitional Living at Green Hill: Hand-Holding to Empowerment
In this episode of Open Source Health, Tripp Johnson and Marcus Shumate discuss upcoming changes to Green Hill Transitional Living, exploring a shift from the traditional, transitional living model to a more streamlined, coaching-centric approach. They dive into the challenges of balancing clinical work and day-to-day life coaching while maintaining a patient-centered focus. The discussion also touches on how these changes will lower costs while improving care, emphasizing autonomy and real-world readiness for their clients.
Key Points
- Transition to a Coaching-Centric Model: Green Hill is shifting from traditional transitional living to a coaching-first approach, reducing hand-holding and focusing on empowering individuals for long-term success.
- Cost Reduction and Efficiency: The new model will reduce the monthly cost from $8,000 to $5,000 by eliminating unnecessary activities and staff overlap, while still maintaining high-quality coaching and care.
- Separation of Clinical and Coaching Roles: Clinicians will focus on therapy and mental health management, while recovery coaches will handle day-to-day life skills, goal-setting, and behavioral support.
- Improving Patient Outcomes: By emphasizing autonomy, clients will be responsible for managing their own transportation, appointments, and daily tasks, helping them prepare for real-world challenges.
- Family and Systemic Dynamics: The coaching model addresses the need to separate family anxieties from patient care, allowing both clients and their families to work on their individual challenges.
- Streamlining Operations for Long-Term Sustainability: The shift will allow Green Hill to maintain high-quality services while being financially sustainable, by using data-driven care coordination and focusing on what truly matters for recovery.
- Collaborative Care: Coaches and clinical staff will continue to collaborate on care, but their roles will be clearly defined to avoid overlap, confusion, and inefficiencies.
