Thank you @RepMarkTakano for the opportunity to share our research (with @joefigs2 and HQO Lab) with @VetAffairsDems As VA shifts to community care, important to monitor quality of care veterans are receiving. https://t.co/GTaUvIrHl6 @BrighamSurgery @HarvardHPM

Sign of a broken US health care system when patients with cancer feel like this: “I always told myself the stress of dealing with insurance was worse than the cancer.” Insights from patients dealing with prior authorizations in @JAMANetworkOpen study

In their new Forefront article, @joefigs2, @eric_t_roberts, Jessica Phelan, and Kenton Johnston from @HarvardChanSPH, @PennMedicine, and @WashU discuss how, as CMS sets its agenda under new leadership, there are critical opportunities to develop integrated care models for

The true cost of the reconciliation bill will be measured in lives—over 50,000 per year. It’s a predictable result when you cut off insurance to people who are old, poor and sick. @eric_t_roberts and I discuss in @MSNBC @NBCNews @HarvardHPM @PennLDI https://t.co/I1szF3COIh

What happens when low-income Medicare beneficiaries lose subsidized drug coverage (aka the Part D Low Income Subsidy)? Unfortunately, they are much more likely to die. And these deaths are likely preventable . Our new @NEJM study out today https://t.co/z8cgDgb2lq

New @nejm.org study with alarming results: The wealthiest Americans do not live as long as the wealthiest in other countries. In fact, mortality among the wealthiest Americans appeared to be similar to people in the poorest quartile in parts of Europe. https://t.co/QXpy3QJg4M

How are MA plans recruiting a favorable group of veterans that get most of their care paid by VA and not by MA? 1. Make it cheap to enroll (offer $0 premiums & cash backs) 2. Offer no Part D drug coverage (rare for MA) New @JAMAHealthForum study https://t.co/uNQj74sb4g

Avoidable mortality has worsened for all US states while other high-income countries show improvement. And while other countries seem to gain health with more spending, US states do not. Our new @JAMAInternalMed study led by @IPapanicolas out today 1/3 https://t.co/KzsZ39mqLl

Special Needs Plans (SNPs) in Medicare Advantage are all growing — including Chronic Condition SNPs (C-SNPs). In new @Health_Affairs study, we document their growth — and raise concern about them increasingly going after dual-eligibles. https://t.co/W3DE1oGjj9

There’s an emergence of Medicare Advantage plans aggressively enrolling Veterans. (e.g., “Honor Plan, Patriot Plan”) Our new @Health_Affairs study highlights why we think this is a troubling trend leading to billions in wasteful federal spending. https://t.co/NS9xwAEL6q 🧵 1/5

Our new @JAMAHealthForum systematic review out today! Key question: Do integrated care programs (ICPs) for dual-eligibles work? Check out thread of key findings on spending, utilization, quality/outcomes by lead @eric_t_roberts @PennLDI @HarvardChanSPH https://t.co/b5lVYR6Qcq

New @JAMAInternalMed paper with @McGarryBE @ashdgandhi Jiamin Yin and Afroze Chughtai @HarvardHPM! We explored if COVID+ hospital admissions to nursing homes early in the pandemic led to COVID outbreaks. Much discussed but never studied! https://t.co/QYqCBFct8l brief thread

Institutional efforts to address legacies of #slavery and their implications for health care systems. We discuss in new @JAMAHealthForum article led by the brilliant @DrBleich @HarvardChanSPH @HarvardHPM and @HarvardLawProf Martha Minow https://t.co/Wf4Ms6i4Dc

Feeling heard at work matters. But when do people feel heard (or not)? We conducted interviews with nurses to find out. Two different types of issues: -->walls (outright dismissal) -->voids (ideas get lost in the system). Both can be overcome, but with different tactics

We are hiring a Research Assistant to join our team 🤸‍♂️ Projects focused on teamwork and process improvement in healthcare delivery. Looking for someone who is organized, eager, communicative and curious. Will fill quickly -- apply today! @HarvardHPM https://t.co/ZTYvgD2Zdb
