New research w/ @DerrickBransby @MichaelaJune suggests that new hires' #PsychologicalSafety erodes quickly after joining an organization.

The good news? Departments with high PS reduce that decline & facilitate recovery

Anything that references a FedEx Kinko’s is, by definition, a spot-on description of the US health care system.

Ok this clip about navigating the American Healthcare System from the recent South Park ozempic special (which was brilliant) needs to be the opening of every healthcare conference panel

If I didn't know better, I would think my employer had formally shifted my pharma benefits to Amazon. In reality, this is just a marketing tagline. Pretty sneaky, @Amazon.

Ever wonder why your insurer charges a copay for statins (and other high-value meds)?

Don’t they want to prevent heart attacks, strokes, etc?

Copays never made sense to me.

In this new paper in @QJEHarvard, we show copays kill. 🧵

@pgipe @B_Madden4 Your point above is a key reason we wrote this piece: https://t.co/KL99esX9Fe. Realizing uncertainty, our goal was to suggest how the enthusiasm for retail health care might be channeled into a more realistic need for partnerships between retailers and existing health systems.

Retailers and health systems each continue to search for ways to bring convenient and affordable care closer to patients. In the next @HarvardBiz, @vivianleemd, @brstaats, and I discuss how they might do that...together.
