Today, we published a first-of-its-kind peer-reviewed study in @greenjrnl showing how virtual doula care on Maven improves birth outcomes.

Wow. Another tragic story from @NoamLevey in the @KFFHealthNews @NPR Diagnosis:Debt project. What kind of health system forces patients to make such choices? https://t.co/Uil19Tkwdx

[Nishu Uppal @NishantUppal7]

~1 in 5 US households have medical debt with average debt of ~$20k/person. Our largest national health reforms have not fully fixed this problem. Medicaid expansion under the ACA led to some debt reductions, but in Medicaid-expansion states, 1 in 10 adults still carry debt.

"We compared the changes in charity care spending versus cash reserve balances associated with changes in profits from 2012 to 2019… increases in profit at nonprofit hospitals were not correlated with increases in charity care"

No one should go in financial ruin for getting sick.

Medically necessary debt doesn't belong on credit reports.

Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files.

“We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.”

Sludge built into charity care is awful.. takes tremendous toll on pts & is inconsistent w/ principles of medicine

(less importanltly—it is also soo short-sighted of health systems who could lower costs by supporting better access to primary care through charity care)

[The New York Times @nytimes]

More than half the nation's roughly 5,000 hospitals are nonprofits. But in recent decades, some have become virtually indistinguishable from for-profit companies, more interested in boosting revenue than maintaining their charitable missions. https://t.co/g2PdnmPo7M

[Duke IM Residency @IMResidencyDuke]

Thanks again to all our organizers, participants, sponsors, & supporters (esp 📸by @austounding) for all your efforts for the #SteadTread22 @LCHC_Durham @dukemedicine!

[Sandra Au @sandraau_]

A few pre-race shots from 11th annual #SteadTread 5k walk/run to benefit @LCHC_Durham this weekend. Loved being a part of this special @IMResidencyDuke tradition, and seeing our Durham community come together to help make this happen!

Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in @NewYorker https://t.co/cQzbWggk46
