In nearly every speech I give, someone asks me: what’s the world's best health care system? Of course, it depends. Take the US. While we excel in certain areas like five-year breast cancer survival rates, that metric is a rare outlier in our country’s overall performance of care delivery. Rising costs, fragmented care delivery, and disparities in outcomes are just some of the many challenges we face. So, how do we fix sclerotic systems like this? While I don’t think we can destroy our way to a better health care system, we need comprehensive structural changes that prioritize universal coverage and standardization. I’ve been exploring this idea while doing research for my upcoming book, "Creative Rejuvenation: New Lens for Transforming American Health Care." Thanks to everyone who joined me for my presentation at the annual Penn lecture series where I shared some of this research. Stay tuned for my upcoming book and in the meantime, you can learn more by checking out my presentation below ⬇ Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (Penn LDI) #HealthcareonLinkedIn #USHealthcareSystem #HealthcareReform

In the realm of public health research, community-based interventions stand out as powerful tools for reducing the burden of chronic diseases and improving population health. From grassroots initiatives to large-scale interventions, these community-driven efforts hold immense promise in addressing the complex web of factors that contribute to chronic disease prevalence. As we embark on a journey to explore this critical topic, join me as we delve deeper into the transformative potential of community-based interventions in promoting health and wellness for all. #PublicHealthResearch #CommunityHealth Chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and respiratory conditions, continue to exact a heavy toll on individuals and communities worldwide. Beyond the physical toll, these diseases impose significant economic burdens and strain healthcare systems, underscoring the urgent need for effective prevention and management strategies. While traditional approaches have focused primarily on clinical interventions, there is growing recognition of the importance of addressing the social, environmental, and behavioral determinants of health through community-based initiatives. At the heart of community-based interventions lies a fundamental principle: the empowerment of communities to take charge of their health and well-being. By engaging community members as active participants in the design, implementation, and evaluation of health programs, these interventions foster a sense of ownership and agency that is essential for sustainable change. Community-based interventions have the unique ability to tailor interventions to the specific needs and cultural contexts of diverse populations. By leveraging local assets, resources, and cultural norms, these initiatives can effectively reach underserved communities and address the root causes of health disparities. From culturally tailored nutrition programs to neighborhood walking groups promoting physical activity, community-based interventions offer a personalized approach that resonates with individuals and fosters meaningful behavior change. Importantly, the impact of community-based interventions extends beyond individual health outcomes to encompass broader social and environmental factors that influence health. By fostering social cohesion, promoting environmental sustainability, and addressing structural inequities, these initiatives create ripple effects that extend far beyond the individual level. As communities become healthier and more resilient, they are better equipped to tackle the root causes of chronic diseases and create environments that support health and well-being for all. In the coming weeks, I look forward to delving deeper into the world of community-based interventions, exploring innovative approaches, highlighting success stories, and examining the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. #PublicHealthResearch #CommunityHealth

Do you aim to see your patients achieve their health goals? By simply encouraging your patients to take their initial steps toward their goals, you significantly boost their chance of adherence and adoption. Let's look at this scenario. Imagine persuading a female individual to participate in an Online Health Risk Assessment for breast cancer; this act of agreement to fill out this form makes it much more likely for the individual to later agree to a breast cancer screening. Just by making a small request, such as taking a survey, patients will be more likely to follow through and take bigger steps toward improving their health such as booking an appointment and adhering to a health plan. This is called the Foot-in-the-Door Effect. How can you use this principal in your health clinic? Start by suggesting small actions, such as completing a quick online health assessment or visiting your clinic's website to learn more. Then, gradually guide them toward bigger steps, like scheduling and attending appointments. The significance of building strong relationships with patients is crucial for their health journey, and makes the Foot-in-the-Door Effect much more effective. This is because people tend to become more engaged and committed to goals when there is prior interaction involved. Remember, it's important to use the right messages for different patients. With the help of behavioral studies, you can figure out what messages resonates best with each group in your community. Using these methods can significantly encourage patients to take the first steps of their health journey and adhere to the next steps towards optimal health! . . . #TargetContinuum #HealthcareMarketing #PatientAdherence #BehavioralEconomics

The Health Equity Steering Committee (HESC) oversees the creation and prioritization of Fred Hutch’s health equity pillars. These pillars encompass a series of goals, objectives and tactics aimed at promoting health equity for patients, research participants and collaborators within the community. Tiffany Go is the staff co-chair where her role is to ensure that HESC is moving forward, meeting the deliverables of their charter and creating infrastructure. She shared, "As a merged organization, this is the first committee that is tackling a unified mission and purpose when it comes to addressing #healthdisparities and advancing health equity— not just in clinical care and research, but also within our surrounding community. We’re bringing in many perspectives, leaders and stakeholders to represent those groups. Our goal is to include every element of a participant’s experience at Fred Hutch." Go played an instrumental role in the creation of the committee. "I wanted to create a governance and accountability community at Fred Hutch that shared a dedication to prioritizing health equity with more decision-making capacity at an organizational level. Also, while I have expertise in reducing health disparities within our patient population under clinical operations, I'm not an organizational decision maker," says Go. "That's why I worked closely with Drs. Wendy Law and Brittany McCreery to advocate for the creation of the HESC in June 2023." In the next five to 10 years, Go would like to see Fred Hutch "be a model of #healthequity work for other cancer centers of how to effectively identify and address those disparities and gaps."

Today, President Joe Biden will sign an executive order to expand research on women’s health care. The Order will direct more than $200 million to establish a robust to bolster a comprehensive approach to women’s health research. Communication and Culture, LLC has dedicated this year to Women's Health, an effort that aligns remarkably with broader national efforts to enhance research and innovation in women’s health care. Our focus reflects a growing recognition of the critical importance of addressing women’s health issues. The executive actions, including the first lady Dr. Jill Biden's announcement last month of $100 million in funding for women’s health, will help to bridge the gap in women’s health research. Historically, this area has been both underfunded and understudied, despite women constituting half of the population. A wide array of health conditions manifest differently in women or are unique to women, such as heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, endometriosis, and fibroids. Women’s health issues are not monolithic and require diverse, innovative approaches for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Increased funding will help address the systemic neglect of women’s health issues and bridge gaps in knowledge about women’s midlife health, post-menopause diseases, and conditions such as heart attacks, Alzheimer’s disease, and osteoporosis. For Communication and Culture, LLC, aligning with these federal efforts provides a unique opportunity to contribute to and benefit from the national momentum towards transforming women’s health research. By focusing on Women's Health, CCLLC plays a crucial role raising awareness and communicating vital health information that improve health outcomes for women. We cannot overemphasize the roles for health equity advocates, community-based organizations, healthcare systems, and small businesses. We will continue to advocate for these and similar initiatives until health care becomes a basic human right.

Exciting News from Parsley Health, a 7wireVentures portfolio company: We're thrilled that Parsley Health has reached another milestone by publishing its 4th peer-reviewed article. This latest publication validates the Parsley Symptom Index (PSI), their proprietary whole-body PROM (Patient Reported Outcomes Measure), against PROMISE10 from the NIH. Before the development of PSI (tm), there was no comprehensive tool to assess symptom severity and quality of life in an ambulatory population. Furthermore, no existing tool effectively correlated symptoms with disease progression predictively in adult ambulatory populations, especially in virtual care settings. By integrating patient-reported symptoms and correlating them with disease progression, the PSI empowers patients and providers with invaluable insights for informed decision-making and proactive healthcare management. We're proud to support Parsley Health as they continue leading the way in revolutionizing how care is delivered, measured, and experienced. Read the full article in JMIR to learn more about the Parsley Symptom Index and its impact on reshaping the future of healthcare: https://lnkd.in/gi3f25GD #ParsleyHealth #HealthInnovation #PatientEngagement #Telehealth #JMIRPublication

Are we thrilled about the major new funding from The White House earmarked for women's health research? Yes, of course. But Midi CEO Joanna Strober joined forces with female founders Ellen Rudolph and Priya Abani to point out that women's health is in crisis. We need more than what the White House has promised to make real progress and help all women thrive. Women are widely underserved by healthcare, particularly in areas such as heart disease, autoimmune disease, and menopause. Read on to learn more about why digital health innovators are key to filling these and other care gaps, and how government institutions, venture capitalists, employers, payors, and health systems can support them.
POV: A $100 million investment in women's healthcare isn't enough. This is what we need
