“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…

🚨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

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.

The analysis is correct. Randomization failed to balance home dialysis use in ETC markets and non-ETC markets. The imbalance is of no public health significance, but it will complicate model evaluation.
JAMA Network Open@JAMANetworkOpen5 Aug 2022
Dialysis facilities randomly assigned to Medicare's new End-Stage Renal Disease Treatment Choices (ETC) model had lower preintervention transplant and home dialysis use vs control facilities. #OrigInvestigation ja.ma/3d8Pvd8

In many states, the Supreme Court decision will trigger abortion bans. Other states have moved to protect abortion rights. There are 17 states without explicit laws one way or the other, though most of these already have restrictions on abortion. kff.org/policy-watch/reading…

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
