Another terrific Clyburn Lecture in the books this year! Was great to host Dr. Keshia Pollack Porter and hear more about health impact assessments and health in all policies—and always a pleasure to hear from Congressman Clyburn! @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social

DOGE strangling Federally funded research at the source. Still illegal impoundment! Still unconstitutional! And will need to be stopped, or everything grinds to a halt.

Go Dawgs. That is all. 🐶

The original Twitter magic is back

Earlier this year, Phil Singer, @bradwrightphd.bsky.social, and I published a piece in JHPPL in which we looked at 1332 waiver activity from 2019 to 2023. We examined how the Trump administration used waivers to try to accomplish some of their #healthpolicy priorities, and how Biden reversed course.

Getting an IV analysis in a clinical journal is hard! But happy to see this work on the effect on observational stays on clinical and cost outcomes in Medicare published in #JGIM Kevin Duan @bradwrightphd.bsky.social Amber Sabbatini Canada Parrish & others rdcu.be/d1AlX

Sharing "Structural Inequities in Medicare Advantage--A Growing Cause for Concern" my commentary on an excellent paper by Gupta et al. out this week in JAMA Network Open. I'll share the link to their paper in the comments. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Our recent open access publication examines factors (including racial bias) that influence whether nurses judge a patients' safety concerns to be credible & how likely they are to report them via their hospital's incident reporting system. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New (& personal) paper out! I had GBS 7 yrs ago. Finding mostly case reports got me thinking about using claims data to study this rare condition. An R21 from NINDS & linked EHR-claims data led to an algorithm for finding incident GBS cases in claims www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
