Access is rightfully a🔥topic these days. How do we support appropriate payer accountability, motivate network investments, & appropriately leverage digital resources? Shout out to Eric, MoDar, @drbachi1 @laxswamy for the 🐦🐦w/🪨 approach👇

[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In their new Forefront article, Eric Kravetz, John Morgan, Mohammad Dar, @laxswamy, + @drbachi1 from @UMass + @VCU discuss how network standards should incorporate telehealth + realize it's potential to ensure more effective + equitable access to care. https://t.co/YRr2GdlBFd

I have a new paper w/Ivan Badinski, Amy Finkelstein, & Matt Gentzkow!

We use a "movers" design to study the role of physician practice intensity for well-documented geographic variation in healthcare spending

Punchline? Doctor sorting matters a lot!

Need more messages like these and more intentional sharing of messages like these.

Cringeworthy, inflammatory and attention grabbing? No.

Productively addressing what ails too much of society? Yes.

Distrust & disgust are the biggest threats to America.

[Governor Cox @GovCox]

Utah and Colorado compete over a lot of things – who has the better mountains, the better skiing, the better economy, etc. I think it’s Utah, and @GovofCO thinks it's Colorado. But one thing we agree on, is that Americans need to learn how to #DisagreeBetter and that healthy conflict results in better policy. This year as chair and vice chair of @NatlGovsAssoc, we’re setting out to do just that. We hope you’ll join us!

Nation’s top cancer hospitals slap hefty markups on drugs, study says https://t.co/v3GWC9qUTq via @statnews

[Joseph Ross @jsross119]

The problem with a former FDA commissioner calling out CMS for its “flawed decision making” while scare mongering about cancer drugs is that it ignores critical context: FDA's “flawed decision making” in initially approving Adu. Situation is unprecedented https://t.co/41DtTeD3jp

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

We're in a transition moment in this pandemic

We're coming off highs of the worst surge of infections we've ever had

Cases are high but starting to fall in much of the nation

This moment raises lots of questions

With one big one: What happens next?

NSW is the ideal setting to measure the severity of Omicron, and it is showing a CFR for Omicron that is <1/2 of Delta
Five reasons it's ideal:
*Prior infection is irrelevant (~2-3% of NSW is prior infected)
*Delta cases were steady through Nov, making a stable baseline CHR

1/15

[Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA @sacjai]

A lot of “value-based care” in practice is really just utilization management, coding, & care management.

Nothing revolutionary there.

What it must be is a more complete transformation of care that focuses on keeping people healthy—not managing cost when they get sick.

1/ For the >80,000 people in the U.S who will test positive for #Covid19 today, what can we offer to support access to care but help them safely remain at home?

Our team is excited to finally share important, new findings out today in @AnnalsofIM

In June, when FDA approved Aduhelm on scant evidence of benefit, despite its risk, at a price of $56k/year, we all knew everyone's insurance costs would go up in response. Yesterday, we learned how much: >$250/yr for every Medicare beneficiary https://t.co/0Mql8pONHK

Below is the story of my #cardiacarrest and the heroic actions of those who saved me. Only 10% of the 350,000 Americans w cardiac arrests outside of hospitals survive- I teamed up with #aha21 to raise awareness about #cpr and #aed - we need to improve! 1/2 https://t.co/nMLESUiVus

Made all the more unconscionable by how much more effectively other nations have removed barriers to testing, despite our resources & head start (not dissimilar from vaccine uptake...another story): https://t.co/RKczYc2DmW
