Amidst growing enthusiasm for AI in healthcare, there are open questions on how we should pay for AI services.
In a new piece at @Health_Affairs we weigh in. healthaffairs.org/content/fo…

TLDR: We find the average older adult in traditional Medicare spends 3 weeks per year getting health care, mostly (17 days) ambulatory care like office visits, tests, and treatments.
11% of these adults spent 50+ days per year (!).

We all know that fentanyl is making the overdose crisis much worse.
But did you know that it's also making buprenorphine — the most popular opioid addiction treatment — harder to use?
I dug into it for @tradeoffspod's first new episode of 2024.

Everyone knows NP and PA’s are playing a bigger role in the medical system. But until this study, I didn’t realize how large a fraction of care they provide!

Telemedicine was a crucial stop-gap during the pandemic, but are its best days behind us? Or is there more potential to tap?
Excited to share a new article w/ @Ateevm & @bbrownretail examining the tech, processes, and institutions that can unlock the next chapter of virtual care
By using new technologies and services, U.S. health providers can take virtual health care to the next level. hbr.org/2023/06/how-to-tap-t…

New in @JAMANetworkOpen: In nat'l Medicare survey, many older adults were personally offered phone visits, or chose phone visits, even when phone & video visits were available.

Rates of antibiotics received during #COVID-19 outpatient visits (mostly amoxicillin & azithromycin) varied by age, site, and region in this cross-sectional study. @martjm @ateevm @krayhsr ja.ma/3M1QRFT

Excited to share a new paper today with @McGarryBE and @ashdgandhi published today in @NEJM
TL;DR Nursing homes with higher use of COVID-19 tests for staff had 30% fewer resident cases and 26% fewer deaths than low testing facilities. That's a LOT.

DEA just proposed new rules limiting prescribing of buprenorphine via telemedicine. In a letter to DEA, we summarize evidence on using telemedicine to treat opioid use disorder & why new rules are problematic. Couple of highlights in this thread (1/5)

In summary, our argument is no compelling evidence that new restrictions are needed & may cut off many from a life-saving drug. We call for DEA to revisit the proposed rule. If you agree, consider posting a comment on the DEA website. (5/)

Thanks to colleagues including @ml_barnett and @NIDAnews for supporting much of the research that we cite.

My first Research Corner for @tradeoffspod discusses new work by @AJHolmgren and others in @JAMA.
They ask: what happens when a major U.S. health system starts billing patients for portal messages with their clinicians?
