A new study in @CBCjournal shows mobile #mammography helps increase breast cancer screening in underserved areas, especially among Indigenous, rural, & low-income women. It complements facility-based screenings and improves early detection. #HealthEquity

A recent study by the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute demonstrates that mobile mammography is generally used by women otherwise unlikely to be screened, and thus is complementary to facili…

Researchers evaluated the access to #IDR for #stroke treatment. The @JNIS_BMJ study results found that Neurointerventionalists, who often deliver lifesaving treatments in these cases, have almost no financial access to payment recovery through the NSA.

New in @AmJPrevMed: “The results of our study indicate there either needs to be a way to reduce the differences in access to breast MR or avail all patients of effective alternatives to promote early detection & improve outcomes.” #cancerresearch

Given new breast density guidelines, now approximately one in two women are recommended to have supplemental breast cancer screening by breast MR or ultrasound due to their relatively higher breast…

Congress passed the No Surprises Act (NSA) to financially protect patients from surprise medical bills. This was broadly welcomed by providers and insurers. But that is where the agreement ends. NSA implementation questions abound. #SurpriseMedicalBills Let’s see why 👇(🧵 1/12)

Thank you for helping to change the paradigm and advocating for the economics that are necessary for equitable access!
"The oft-cited 'volume to value' goal of US healthcare reform reads differently for screening," writes @DrGMcGinty. "For screening, volume IS value." Read "Volume IS Value: aligning incentives to improve cancer screening" in @JACRJournal.

Is it possible to be more than incredibly excited? @NPR included our @NeimanHPI study on a possible unintended consequence of changing staffing patterns in #emergency departments @AliRaja_MD @MGHImaging @MassGeneralMDs @RichDuszak @JAMANetworkOpen
npr.org
Increasingly, private equity firms shape staffing decisions at hospital emergency rooms, research shows. One apparent effect: Hiring fewer doctors and more health care practitioners who earn far less.

Emergency departments that employ nonphysician practitioners probably improve patient access to timely care. However, these EDs also order 5.3% more imaging than their physician-only counterparts via @RadiologyBiz
