US nonprofit hospitals spent $7.8 billion on management consultants from 2009 to 2023, but contracts were not associated with meaningful changes in finance, operations, or quality of care. 🧵

4/ Keep in touch! At Sage, you can still find me at [email protected]; outside of Sage at [email protected].

1/ After 11 years at @SageBio, I'm moving from Director of Applied ELSI Research to Advisor. What makes Sage special isn’t just open science. It is *generous* science: generosity with data, ideas, expertise, collaboration, and spirit.

[Meg Doerr @MegDoerr]

3/ Not going far. Still at Sage for special projects, making space for consulting, and continuing to center community voice in big health data research.

🚨eConsent can promote research cost-effectiveness & equity, but how does it compare to traditional consent in terms of informedness? In this RCT, we found the eConsent framework used by NIH's All of Us & Apple ResearchKit was noninferior (& in an exploratory analysis, superior)

"though 81 percent of executives think their AI deployments have 'significantly improved productivity,' their workers are actually wasting eight hours per week cleaning up after AI’s messes, which is the equivalent of 51 work days a year."

[ProPublica @propublica]

A Dept. of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica set new roadblocks to care for male veterans with breast cancer. The agency cited no new science, instead relying on an executive order about “restoring biological truth” in government: https://t.co/ok7CnmQGsB

We were told NIH funding cuts were about eliminating DEI.

But the data now shows grants are down across nearly every field of medicine: cancer, diabetes, mental health, brain disorders.

With the greatest cuts hitting Alzheimer’s research, down more than 50%.
