Oh hey, Happy New Year! Here are some excellent pieces on the current state of health care. First something optimistic:
Atul Gawande exposes a program in New Jersey which aggressively targets the sickest of the sickest patients, with early promising results for bending the health care cost curve. Obviously, it paints a rosy picture (usually the case w/ AG's work) but still it provides some good stuff to consider.
In another recent piece by the NYT, the disturbingly prevalent problem of patients staying in hospitals due to placement issues (lack of insurance, housing, or transitional care). I saw this all the time during the first six months of third year.
Lots to do. Lots to do.
