@PaulWhiteleyPhD Speaking from personal experience: big amen to this.
Further confirmation that we should never ever stop immersing a minimally verbal autistic kid in spoken language, or a minimally verbal autistic adult for that matter

The time is now for us to start planning for value-based approaches to addressing the health risks faced by persons with obesity. See our post today in Health Affairs Forefront #obesity #weightloss #valuebasedcare #healthcare #NEHI_News

[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In their new Forefront article, @ThomasEHubbard, @DrAngelaFitch, Florencia Halperin + @JNadglowskiOAC from @NEHI_News, @OMAsocial, @FormHealthUS + @ObesityAction discuss how increase in obesity treatment should compel new thinking in treatment + support. https://t.co/JrWL0F82tv

@dollendorf At this point the QALY is just a pinata for wilful misinterpretation. Meanwhile the paucity of meaningful metrics of health care and human services improvement is a real problem. I say that as dad of someone with serious disabilities.

Could obesity-related health risks and obesity treatment become targets for population health management and value-based payment? We propose a framework in our new report. #obesity #valuebasedcare #populationhealth https://t.co/pCwOB8kfGD

"In an extreme case, a 10-year-old with severe autism has spent seven months in an ER where run-ins with staff have compelled some to quit and left others injured and the situation is not isolated."

Our new paper in Pharmacoeconomics Open:

90% of drug companies "engage" with @icer_review;

Engagement is associated w/ more favorable ICER findings (see Discussion).

Real innovation might be worth ditching the budget neutrality straitjacket in Medicaid waivers: "CMS (and states) would no longer need to engage in arithmetic acrobatics to demonstrate that a program was expected to be budget neutral down to the decimal point."

[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In their new Forefront article, @Jcindymann, Anne O’Hagen Karl, + @HeatherHHoward from @manatt + @RWJF discuss how the Biden administration has the opportunity to think about whether budget neutrality requirements advance innovation in #Medicaid. https://t.co/3c8Qh3DjPw

@haroldpollack There's a both-sidesism going on out there about liberals, vaccines, masks, and therapies.
