This thread is so hard to read. But this is why we vaccinate. And huge thank you to the parents who get up every day and tell these stories so that we will remember. #VaccinesSaveLives #vaccineswork
Light For Riley@LightForRiley15 Nov 2019
If you’re wondering whether to vaccinate or not, I encourage you to read this. It’s a description of our son’s last 24 hours on earth, and I truly hope that the closest you ever get to this story is simply just reading it - and never living through it, like we have. (see thread)

Replying to @Farzad_MD
5/ The Aledade Kansas ACO reduced emergency department visits by 19%, inpatient hospitalizations by 17%, saved Medicare $11.9 million and earned a quality score of 96% Nowhere is "benchmark <> counterfactual" more true. These practices crushed it for 3 yrs before getting a check

North Carolina is shifting away from paying health care providers for services and instead paying them based on patient health outcomes. It's one of the country's most ambitious efforts to transform how health care is defined and paid for. nyti.ms/323HZ8h

Inside North Carolina’s Big Effort to Transform Health Care (Published 2019)

The state and its top insurer are pushing to pay health care providers based on whether they keep people healthy, not for each service they provide.
