From our new study in JAMA Network Open: Patients whose doctors are integrated with hospitals are more likely to receive cardiac rehab after a major event — and rehab protects against rehospitalization.

Why it matters: Cardiac rehab saves lives, but many eligible patients don’t get it. Integration may help close that gap.

Thanks to my smart (and hilarious) students!

For extra credit, many of my health economics students made memes about class content. A short thread:

He gave the coup de grace to odds ratios and now he's FLEXing on the diff in diff lit. @healtheconnort1 feeling buff in 2024

[Edward Norton @healtheconnort1]

Our approach is simple and transparent. It is easy to know how identification is achieved, which treatment obs. are compared to which control obs., and how many parameters are estimated. We call it FLEX: it is a flexible linear model estimated by OLS with covariates (X).

[Brady Post @BradyJPost]

We talk about what's been done, what's on the horizon, and the challenges ahead.

Great to work with @Jared_Perkins1 and @CM_Whaley on this!

A collab between @Northeastern and @Brown_SPH in Health Affairs Forefront: "The Promise And Pitfalls Of Site-Neutral Payments In Medicare"

Site-neutral payments might be one way to curb Medicare spending and also reduce incentives for health care consolidation.

I had a great chat with Health Affairs editor-in-chief @alanrweil about hospital-physician integration and intensity of cardiac care. Link to the podcast below. Thanks @Health_Affairs for having me on the show!
