Penn FIELDS Program

Researchers at Penn FIELDS lead the way in using #behavioralscience to understand and improve #endoflife care. FIELDS is a program of @PennCHIBE & @PAIRCenter.

Excited to meet @Surgeon_General Dr Jerome Adams with @PennCHIBE leaders including @abuttenheim @kit_delgadoMD - good alignment on importance of improving health using scarce resources to address unmet clinical and sociobehavioral needs with public and private sector partners

[Kevin Volpp @kevin_volpp]

Important to understand why a given study didn’t succeed as contextual and design factors may have a significant impact on effectiveness of interventions @hthirumurthy @PennCHIBE @PM_Innovation. Overarching conclusions that x didn’t work are problematic https://t.co/9bs5h7O2Kz

[Penn Center for Health Incentives+Behavioral Econ @PennCHIBE]

In February's edition of the #HealthyNudge, we highlight new pilot projects exploring #gamification w/@PENNWaytoHealth, trends in #bundledpayments & recent insights from @nejmcatalyst https://t.co/GN1v5Ksh5H

[Amol Navathe @AmolNavathe]

Very important finding! When applying to clinician behavior, lots of concerns that nudges = trickery. We have argued this point - nice to have evidence to back it up! @JoshuaLiaoMD @miteshspatel @vivianleemd

[PAIR Center @PAIRCenter]

"According to @ScottHalpernMD of @PennMedicine, the single most important determinant of the choices patients make is how doctors communicate." -@amypaturel @AAMCtoday feature on an important paradigm shift in #MedEd toward #PalliativeCare and #EOL training

[PAIR Center @PAIRCenter]

.@AmakaEMD shares data on #RacialDisparities in #EOL communication, preferences, and #hospice knowledge among #CKD patients. @AmJNephrol https://t.co/bEuPJMzMip

[Steve Smith @ssmithAMC]

Let’s talk about death https://t.co/VUlJ4i5vkF #hpm

[PAIR Center @PAIRCenter]

Watch: @JHartMD on how studying physician competency in choice architecture can ultimately "help physicians use it in a purposeful way as they’re helping #patients and their loved ones make important medical decisions.”

Come work with us! Multiple job postings to come be a part of our friendly team working on cutting-edge clinical research that improves lives. @PAIRCenter https://t.co/YgQxTusZAa

[Penn Center for Health Incentives+Behavioral Econ @PennCHIBE]

All caught up on January's edition of the #HealthyNudge? In this issue: evidence on #medicaid health behavior incentives, applications of #behavioralscience to parent behavior in pediatric settings & highlights from our annual symposium https://t.co/XFZBuBk9oF

[Penn Center for Health Incentives+Behavioral Econ @PennCHIBE]

In November, top researchers in behavioral science & health from across the globe gathered at @Penn to discuss latest findings. Keynote speakers were @drbleich @ellenpetersjdm & @JonSkinner17. Photos & highlights from @PennLDI: https://t.co/cDWJYH5Gtv

We are proud to join @TheNetterCenter @PennAthletics & other groups at @Penn to give back to our community this #holidayseason. Our team had another great experience with @sharefoodphilly this month! https://t.co/ZMgZX1HlAo

[Penn Center for Health Incentives+Behavioral Econ @PennCHIBE]

Not able to make it to @PennMedicine for @kevin_volpp Grand Rounds talk on #behavioraleconomics & health? Watch live here: https://t.co/4oCu3jJpB8

[Penn Center for Health Incentives+Behavioral Econ @PennCHIBE]

"People will stick with that they were doing before even if something better comes along. This underlies the concept of inertia," says @kevin_volpp, describing status quo bias and the power of defaults #behavioralscience

[Penn Center for Health Incentives+Behavioral Econ @PennCHIBE]

Our Director, @kevin_volpp, will speak this Friday, 12/21 as part of the @PennMedicine Dept. of Medicine Medical Grand Rounds Distinguished Lecture Series.

[Joanna Hart @JHartMD]

@PAIRCenter former trainee’s work on states worse than death continues to be a conversation starter!

NEW @JHospMedicine editorial by @k8courtright and Nina O'Connor: Towards Scalable Hospital-Based #PalliativeCare: Challenges and Opportunities for Hospitalists

[Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine]

Leveraging technology & behavioral economics are essential for scalable #palliativecare innovations in hospital medicine says @k8courtight of @PAIRCenter @PennMedicine https://t.co/vFFhbmAXqT

[Scott Halpern @ScottHalpernMD]

Though our eyes must remain on the prize of improving the QUALITY of advanced illness care, many stakeholders are keenly interested in better understanding the COSTS. And right now, the evidence regarding this deceptively complicated question is pretty meager...

[The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute @PCORI]

Congratulations to @ScottHalpernMD @Penn for study funding approval. Find study info here. https://t.co/hgXYSsC5nm
