RN perception of patient credibility not significant! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Thousands of SC residents attend ‘No Kings’ Protest www.wistv.com/2025/06/15/t...

Another video of the car horns honking in support of the #NoKings protest in Columbia, SC today

Columbia, SC.💙💙

What the honking horns sound like here in the Deep South in Columbia, SC, at the #NoKings protest today.

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.

NC Health News asks health services policy and management faculty Dave Anderson and Brad Wright for their expert input on how to make health care more affordable/accessible. ow.ly/BPM050VxREA #ArnoldSchoolExperts @dmaanderson.bsky.social | @bradwright.bsky.social | @nchealthnews.bsky.social

Great postdoc opportunity to work with two outstanding faculty at UMass!

Our new study in HSR (led by @tgiannouchos.bsky.social) finds that contrary to the idea that people are frequent ED users b/c they can't access care elsewhere, frequent ED users have higher rates of health care use across the board vs. non-frequent ED users. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

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...

🚨JOB ALERT! @USC_HSPM invites applications for a 9-mo. (hard $) clinical track faculty position (Asst/Assoc) to teach in our MPH program while ideally remaining engaged in public health practice during the year to fund the other 3-mos. uscjobs.sc.edu/postings/167... Happy to answer any questions!

If you have had the privilege of hearing @povertyscholar.bsky.social give a talk, I don’t have to tell you how amazing her lecture was!

On behalf of USC's Department of Health Services Policy and Management, I am beyond excited to welcome @povertyscholar.bsky.social, Dr. Jamila Michener, to Columbia, SC to deliver the keynote for the 15th Annual James E. Clyburn Health Equity Lecture!

turns out it is still a losing game to try to identify low acuity ED visits by chief complaint by @bradwrightphd.bsky.social in JAMA Netw Open jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Still setting up shop over here, but wanted to let folks know I’m accepting PhD students for Fall 2024 with an interest in health equity, health centers, dual eligibles, hospital care, & other related HSR topics. Feel free to send potential applicants my way or reach out directly!
