Three major and interrelated mental hurdles every student in a research-oriented graduate degree program has to contend with and, at some point, hopefully, make peace with: 1. #ImpostorSyndrome. You are smart. You know things. You belong here. apa.org/gradpsych/2013/11/fr…

💯%. Sensible reform from @UREssien @JayBLusk @DusetzinaS. Moral hazard is not a myth, but the idea affects health policy in too many ways. Cost-Sharing Reform for Improved Health Care Equity and Value in Chronic Disease Treatments ja.ma/3vthQ3C via @JAMAHealthForum

“There’s no place like home,” says Paul Hall, 64. He's one of ~780K Americans with ESRD, requiring either dialysis, or a transplant, to live. Now, Mr. Hall dialyzes at home at any hour he pleases, thanks to #TabloDialysis. Read more in today's @NYTimes: nytimes.com/2022/11/10/busin…

The Tablo System promises to make dialysis easier and more convenient for patients. But there are significant barriers to the technology.

I claim as a part of my own identity very few marginalized identities. Identifying with the experiences of those who have experienced what others call "impostor syndrome" -- when it is in fact marginalization -- is something I am continually working on in myself.

Stop Telling Women They Have Impostor Syndrome

“Impostor syndrome,” or doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud at work, is a diagnosis often given to women. But the fact that it’s considered a diagnosis at all is problematic. The...

🚨New Paper Alert🚨 @liraneinav, @nealemahoney, Amy Finkelstein and I study the first year of the ESRD Treatment Choice model, a nationwide RCT that provides financial incentives to dialysis facilities and clinicians to increase home dialysis use.
JAMA Health Forum@JAMAHealthForum7 Oct 2022
A nationwide RCT gives providers financial incentives to inc home dialysis, shows no statistically significant increase in home dialysis, suggesting greater incentives may be necessary to change behavior. ja.ma/3CIj6o6 @YunanJi @nealemahoney

Medicare ETC Model evaluation paper from Ji et al. Financial Incentives to Facilities and Clinicians Treating End-stage Kidney Disease and Use of Home Dialysis ja.ma/3ClxcKJ in @JAMAHealthForum

Observed: No difference in home dialysis % of incident patients (treatment measured at 90 days) between ETC-assigned and control HRRs, controlling for lagged outcomes and lots of other factors. Did not look at transplant-related outcomes.

It's only 9 months of post-experience, and it's limited to older Medicare beneficiary pts (age 66+), where there may be lesser potential to increase home dialysis % in ETC-assigned facilities. But it's one early data point that ETC didn't really shake things up that much. 🤔
A young man is in a mental health crisis. He attacked his grandmother. Instead of police, a mobile crisis unit arrives. No sirens or flashing lights — and no guns. The counselors only talk. He agrees to get a psych eval. Alternative response in action. inquirer.com/health/mental-h…

When mental health crises require more than a phone conversation, these mobile units come to help

Most calls to crisis lines are resolved on the phone. But when a call needs an in-person response, a mobile crisis unit often swings into action. The alternative, some fear, is relying on police.
