A thread of some great health policy and health services research from @CAHSPER_IPH at @AcademyHealth #ARM24! @WUSTL will be starting a school of public health in 2026, with recently appointed dean @sandrogalea, so it's an exciting time of growth for policy and HSR at WashU.

Very proud to share projects w great team! We forecast big increases in CV risk fx and clinical CVD, as well as their costs - hopeful that this can help drive renewed focus on public health/policy changes we need to stay healthy! https://t.co/1RPVQNOAku https://t.co/ts6N3Df4rb

The thread below from @kardiologykazi beautifully sums up two major projects from @American_Heart on cardiovascular disease and stroke - will take a focus on public health, prevention, and social risk to bend these curves back in the right direction!

[Dhruv Kazi @kardiologykazi]

Two @American_Heart Presidential Advisories released today project the future burden of #heartdisease and #stroke in the US
– and the numbers are truly astounding
@CircAHA

What will cardiovascular disease look like in 2050? And how much will it cost?

In @JAMA_current, we evaluate how a new health equity adjustment will impact performance and payments for nearly 3,000 US hospitals in the Value-Based Purchasing program, one of Medicare's cornerstone quality initiatives.

Our @NEJM piece describes why the value-based movement is facing hard truths. Most @CMSGov models have ⬆️ (rather than ⬇️) spending by *billions*

Will a new effort encouraging states to adopt global healthcare budgets be the answer? Led by @suhas_gondi

We are SO excited to announce our expanded center and incredibly grateful for support from @WUSTLpubhealth @WUSTLmed @WUICTS and our amazing team members!

[Jose Figueroa, MD, MPH @joefigs2]

It’s becoming increasingly clear that value-based payment models should consider social risk when evaluating performance.

What are pros/cons of person- vs. neighborhood-level social risk adjustment?

We discuss in new @JAMAHealthForum editorial @kejoynt
