A thread of some great health policy and health services research from @CAHSPER_IPH at @AcademyHealth #ARM24! @WUSTL will be starting a school of public health in 2026, with recently appointed dean @sandrogalea, so it's an exciting time of growth for policy and HSR at WashU.

Q&A: Cardiologist Karen Joynt Maddox on why new healthcare policies are not improving outcomes

Very proud to share projects w great team! We forecast big increases in CV risk fx and clinical CVD, as well as their costs - hopeful that this can help drive renewed focus on public health/policy changes we need to stay healthy! tinyurl.com/AHACVDPrev tinyurl.com/AHACVCosts
Didn't do tags right last time so here goes: @American_Heart @CircAHA @kardiologykazi @texhern @ErinMichos @PowellWileyLab @khavjou @MitchElkind @ycommodore @hugoapariciomd @paheidenreich @bweitten
The thread below from @kardiologykazi beautifully sums up two major projects from @American_Heart on cardiovascular disease and stroke - will take a focus on public health, prevention, and social risk to bend these curves back in the right direction!
Two @American_Heart Presidential Advisories released today project the future burden of #heartdisease and #stroke in the US
– and the numbers are truly astounding
@CircAHA
What will cardiovascular disease look like in 2050? And how much will it cost?

Our @NEJM piece describes why the value-based movement is facing hard truths. Most @CMSGov models have ⬆️ (rather than ⬇️) spending by *billions*
Will a new effort encouraging states to adopt global healthcare budgets be the answer? Led by @suhas_gondi

It’s becoming increasingly clear that value-based payment models should consider social risk when evaluating performance.
What are pros/cons of person- vs. neighborhood-level social risk adjustment?
We discuss in new @JAMAHealthForum editorial @kejoynt
