Xiomara was in the NICU for five months. I was at her bedside every single day for 169 days. Her dad and I took turns spending the night in the NICU after having dinner at home with our then 2yo son. Paid $7 every visit.

Free hospital parking is the hill I will die on.

When offering an incentive for participation in health research focus group/surveys, what’s your go to? Amazon? Visa? Check? Thinking about how to increase participation and decrease age/income/tech related barriers to receiving incentives. Would love some advice! #qualresearch

Putting the responsibility on the patient for deciding the care they need (and the cost they’re willing to pay) obscures the real issue – which is the high cost of healthcare itself. @cynthiacox #UMForum2022 #patientadvocacy

At the @CSCCancerPolicy utilization management presentation on HDHPs, Myra Simon makes the point that the line between being a “healthy person” and a “sick person” is very thin. “Everyone who gets a cancer diagnosis didn’t know they had cancer the day before.”

Krista Nelson of @ACCCBuzz: there should be a PA for meeting with a social worker before starting a new medication with side effects that could be difficult to manage while houseless. Love it! #UMsummit2021 #SDOH

Dr. Puckrein of @NMQF: advocacy organizations need common language to describe how patients are experiencing utilization management to encourage changes by payer organizations #UMSummit2021 @CSCCancerPolicy

[Asia Cutforth @AsiaCutforth]

Thank you @DrWinkfield for bringing attention to how utilization management can increase patient distrust and hurt the patient-provider relationship @CSCCancerPolicy #UMSummit2021

@Anarchopology @AUHonors Back in fall 2018!

[Asia Cutforth @AsiaCutforth]

In my challenge course for @AUHonors, my research team and I investigated how architecture and design are used to influence how people do & do not use certain spaces. Proud this project is resurfacing especially with the ongoing closing of encampments across the city.

[Street Sense Media @streetsensedc]

@thehoya @CMBrookePinto The Hoya mentions Hidden Hostility DC, a project by @AmericanU students to map out all of the "anti-vagrant" hostile architecture in the District. Surely, @CMBrookePinto was asked about her Ward's concentration of anti-human designs. https://t.co/VcpGKUEbIy #DCHomelessCrisis

Catching up on my podcast queue after a few weeks of vacay and excited to hear @askdrfitz on @LemonadaMedia’s The Cost of Care. Public health nerds! Listen to the most recent episode about how healthcare providers must own their role in improving health literacy.

[Asia Cutforth @AsiaCutforth]

👀 this thread to see how the American fee for service health care system is broken for both providers and patients. As patient advocates how can we better help our patients avoid financial toxicity as health care providers are managing the billing demands of their institutions.
