Are our “free markets” truly free? How can we achieve a balanced healthcare economy when we privatize profits but socialize losses? Andrew Leigh (https://lnkd.in/euS47z3B), member of the Australian House of Representatives and professor of economics at The Australian National University, joins hosts Wendy Dean, and Matthew Ramsey to talk about how "economics can be defined as a social science that studies how people maximize their well-being in the face of scarcity", and how that applies to healthcare.

We're bringing you into the 'room where it happens,' so to speak, and broadcasting a panel discussion that we recorded live at the Physician-Led Healthcare for America (PHA) leadership conference in Naples, Florida last month. Moderated by Dutch Rojas, speakers Mike Lipomi and our own Wendy Dean, MD led a rousing conversation on what physician-led healthcare means, and what doctors and patients lose when we don't have control over care. Matthew Ramsey offers some thoughts about the discussion from a birds eye view, later.

Many independent hospitals are precarious positions right now. How do you maintain negotiating power? How do you retain staff? How do you keep the big players at bay? Kurt Barwis, President and CEO of Bristol Health in Bristol, CT, talked with us about how to stand out - and stand up - for his hospital's independence, and his community. Wendy Dean, MD Matthew Ramsey

Today is #NationalPhysicianSuicideAwareness day and #VoterRegistration day. The link between the two is #moralinjury. Structural determinants of health (#StxDOH) - how we, as a society, choose to distribute resources, and who makes those decisions - are significant contributors to moral injury. In our conversations with clinicians, moral injury is a frequent contributor to thoughts of self-harm. Mitigating moral injury begins with speaking up and the easiest way to have a voice right now is to vote. If you haven't registered, today is a great day to do that. Think of it as casting a ballot for the future (of healthcare) you'd like to see, for patients AND HCWs. Be well. Wendy Dean, MD Simon Talbot

Who better to have a conversation with about the effect of social, moral, and structural determinants of health on the physician experience than, Dr. Don Berwick? Informed by his decades of healthcare leadership, he offers a welcome reminder of the essential good at the heart of our profession and implores us to work together for the change we wish to see. We are so grateful for this conversation. It was a gift. Wendy Dean, MD Matthew Ramsey
