Pediatrician & investigator at the intersections of health, policy, medical education, health services research, care quality, costs, & systems change.
Corporate America enters its AI reckoning phase as IT bills keep rising and consumer sentiment nosedives.
My latest, which includes an account from a CFO fretting over a half a *billion* dollar accidental AI bill: https://t.co/EQhgn0v8DI
Uber’s Chief Operating Officer said it’s getting harder for the company to justify the costs of using AI.
Starbucks just scrapped its AI inventory tool for repeatedly miscounting and mislabeling items.
Is the AI bubble getting ready to burst?
The biggest change in health care over my long career - the gradual shift from a nonprofit to a largely for profit system, including most non-profits who are driven by maximizing revenues. Whose different? A small number of critical safety net hospitals and community clinics.
In 2008, 62% of teachers said they were very satisfied with their job.
In 2022, that dropped to 12%.
We've got a serious problem brewing in education...
I’m so sad to learn of Dr. Dreyer’s passing, I recently had such a nice meeting/lunch with him and @ArthurCaplan @AdamRatnerMD when I spoke at @nyulangone and gave pediatric grand rounds last fall. He was an inspirational figure and a kind physician

In their new Forefront article, @lauragotmd + @cbrindis of @siren_ucsf + @UCSF_IHPS pay tribute to Nancy E. Adler, whose influence is visible across many of today’s most high-profile and consequential health policy conversations, from abortion to poverty. https://t.co/XhiLfCjqfn
“Dr. Adler was instrumental in documenting the powerful role that education, income and self-perceived status in society play in predicting health and longevity.
Today, the connection is well known…But it was an obscure notion as recently as 30 years ago”

my colleague @laurenspigel tracked her experience during the first year of parenting: all the interrupted sleep, all of the time she spent nursing, pumping, or missing work due to childcare
The graph from her last week of mat leave is remarkable https://t.co/Qne29xG132
@neel_shah @laurenspigel Truly, this is one of the most important studies on early dyadic health and family functioning in infancy I've ever seen. Parents are heroes, and you have the data to prove it. I wish this story was told more often.
The 2021 Child Tax Credit monthly payments were associated with improved self-reported adult health & food security. Cash transfers for families may be effective tools in improving health and nutrition.
