People living with mental illness are priority populations for HIV/STI prevention but lack access to sexual health services. Several opportunities to improve care.
Amazing work led by @SamuelRBunting1 and @UChiPritzker students @garyxwang and Roger Yu

1 yr later and done with rotations!
Next stop: MBA at @ChicagoBooth
Deeply grateful to the patients who entrusted me with their stories this year, and excited to draw on lessons learned from them as I further explore how we can make care more accessible and affordable for all

It's been a pleasure working with @UChiPritzker MS3 @garyxwang. Photo of Gary presenting @JournalGIM paper with UPMC Western Maryland partners on innovative @diabetesgap DM pop health program @SocietyGIM to @NIMHD Dir Dr. Eliseo Perez-Stable.
A huge thank you to @diabetesgap @MarshallChinMD @tanumihardj0 @BucksbaumInst @UCM_HDS and many others at UChicago and UPMC Western Maryland for their support, guidance, and funding throughout this entire process!
Payment models drive organizational behavior.
At UPMC Western Maryland, we find that hospital global budgets led to innovative diabetes programs that durably reduced A1c +hospitalizations and addressed unmet social needs.

Maryland's all-payer global budgeting system incentivizes population health management. See innovative UPMC Western Maryland @diabetesgap program reducing A1c, hospitalizations, ED visits @JournalGIM paper led by @UChiPritzker @garyxwang link.springer.com/article/10…
This work began in my M1 year @UChiPritzker, and I'm thrilled to share these findings now to add further data to the discourse around #VBC, #APMs, and #populationhealth.

UPMC Western Maryland provides a first case study of how hospital global budgets can provide the flexibility and incentives to develop innovative #diabetes care models for high-risk patients with complex medical and social needs @garyxwang link.springer.com/article/10…

If there’s one thing I know about clinic with Dr. Cifu…I’m gonna get my money’s worth!
Me and Afib now 🤝🏼🤝🏼
Quizzing my medical student on afib today in clinic. Came up with a great new question (which he answered, BTW). Informed him "these are your tuition dollars at work!"
He was amused, credit to the wonderful @UChiPritzker students!

Our students have been busy doing great things lately! Check out our latest roundup of Pritzker students' accomplishments, including awards, publications, presentations, and more: pritzker.uchicago.edu/news/f…
In this vignette-based study, med students were least likely to prescribe #PrEP to pts who planned to stop condom use after initiation
Example of how bias perpetuates gatekeeping and the need for early #MedEd around shared decision-making, sexual health, and harm reduction!
Today in #JAIDS, med students least likely to prescribe #PrEP in pts planning to stop condom use. #MedEd needed around #harmreduction & #sexualhealth. Great collab w/ @SamuelRBunting1 @BFeinsteinPhD Sarah Calabrese @NeeralSheth @garyxwang & Sarah Garber

How can we put “population health” back into population-based payment? In @MilbankFund, Zirui Song & I propose a new framework for payment reform: one centered around incentivizing better health (1/7)
Love seeing this @UChiPritzker representation in @AcadMedJournal’s newest edition of trainee-authored letters! (Link to ours below 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️)
3rd @AcademyHealth conference in the books! Thanks to @UCM_HDS for the support to come enjoy sunny DC and present our work on diabetes care innovation under global budgets! #ARM22 @diabetesgap @MarshallChinMD
