Thanks @AdamLBeckman for this 🧵

One of the concerns with pay for performance is that it can distribute payment according to population characteristics as opposed to quality of care for a given population

Should we worry less about this in attempts to "pay for equity"?

Well...

Surprising research strongly suggests semaglutide can help address SUD. Why aren't we using it?@Yale_CHAMPions alum @zoe_m_adams spoke w/ Dr. Kenneth Morford (@YaleIMed) & others on prospective benefits of semaglutide for opioid & alcohol use disorder. https://t.co/rTayycDgO6

Medication for OUD should be accessible in all psychiatric hospitals

Yet over half don't have *any* of the three MOUDs

🚨This needs be on the radar of regulators🚨

[Yale Program in Addiction Medicine @YaleADM]

A new study led by @ShawnCohen_MD & @tamarabeetham found that fewer than half of psychiatric hospitals in the U.S. have such medications available for their patients. See study in @JAMANetworkOpen + additional coverage below.

[Shawn Cohen @ShawnCohen_MD]

For me this study highlights a critical point. We need to make these highly effective medications available everywhere in as low barrier a way as possible

That must include where people are seeking care including for their mental health!!

[Shawn Cohen @ShawnCohen_MD]

Methadone and buprenorphine are lifesaving treatment for OUD. Yet less than 50% of US psychiatric hospitals offer these treatments.

When people are most vulnerable and seeking help in a crisis, they still are so often not able to access evidence based care where they need it.

@BrendanSaloner @JohnsHopkinsSPH @BSPH_HPM @bermaninstitute @Brown_SPH Congrats!!

[ASAM @ASAMorg]

In a new @RollCall article by @JessieHellmann, ASAM member @DrMelissaWeimer underscores the critical need to treat patients with #OUD with appropriate, life-saving doses of #buprenorphine.

Our work was cited in @seattletimes in a tremendous piece sharing the devastating impact of the fentanyl crisis on teens. Every week, a classroom of teens dies from drug overdose across the US.

My thoughts on what's needed to address this crisis:

I'd like to see the 2024 candidates talk more concretely about their plans for the overdose crisis, and not just about fentanyl at the southern border. My piece in @theHill

In a new WP we show access to full-day preK is great for kids, families and pays for itself. See shoutout from @crampell at WaPo 👌

In a new commentary for @JAM_ASAM, Dr. David Fiellin cautions against unintended consequences of introducing concepts such as "treatment-refractory addiction," calls for continued efforts to develop and disseminate evidence-based treatments. https://t.co/hpeirNvbDp

Prof. @Alison_Galvani participated in a roundtable discussion about the cost of weight-loss drugs with Senator @BernieSanders this week.

Galvani discussed a new study that shows that expanding access to new weight-loss medications could prevent 32,000 deaths/year in the U.S.
