New research by Dongzhe Hong, Aaron Kesselheim, Ameet Sarpatwari, and Benjamin Rome in Health Affairs analyzes the patient & prescriber factors impacting US #biosimilar use from 2013-2022, including geography, patient age, prescriber type, & where the drug was administered (hospital outpatient facility vs. physician's office). Though the proportion of patients who initiated a biosimilar increased from 1% to 34% over the study period, variations in uptake across these factors highlight the need for targeted policy intervention to increase biosimilar use, which can generate patient and health care system savings. https://lnkd.in/ef4Dn2zD

The explosive growth of digital health has teh promise to impact health outcomes for numerous patients. This current study evaluates the published controlled trials of digital telemedicine care of heart failure patients in rural areas within the U.S. The concusion is very little data exists to demonstrate improved clinical outcomes. The only study which measured clinical outcomes over 2 years showed no difference between intervention and control groups in: - cardiac deaths - heart failure hopsitalizations - overall cardiac mortality 3 studies reported no significant cahnge in health care resource use (ED visits, hopsitalizations, length of stay or time to hospitalization. Rural settings face unique challenges. The design of digital health interventions need to be appropriate for these patients.

Research estimates costs associated with loneliness for healthcare providers in the United States range from $1,000 to $6,000 per patient annually, attributed to increased healthcare utilization and work productivity losses related to treating patients suffering from psychosocial disconnection (loneliness). This equates to $100s of Million annually. How can healthcare providers prevent poor treatment outcomes caused by loneliness?

Medscape released its 2024 Physician Burnout & Depression Report, showing crisis levels of impact across front-line specialties delivering primary care. Bureaucratic tasks again tops the list of factors contributing to physician burnout. This is a promising area where #AI can help to alleviate the administrative burden and give physicians more time with patients. Other areas of burnout indicate growing needs for healthcare system innovations and adoption of new #digitalhealth tools to support physicians in achieving better outcomes and higher levels of patient satisfaction. #physicianburnout #healthcare #healthcareinnovation #medscapereport https://lnkd.in/gktsKi5w

Healthcare is one of the most critical services globally, with diagnostic imaging playing an increasingly important role in preventative care. Early diagnosis reduces the need for expensive acute care, leading to more efficient healthcare systems. However more importantly, the shift toward preventative healthcare leads to improved health outcomes for both patients and referrers. The demand for diagnostic imaging is also being driven by demographic changes, particularly as the population ages. Over the past 30 years, Australians aged 65+ have increased from 11.8% to 16.6% of the population, with projections indicating further growth by 2040. The demographic shift, which is similar in New Zealand, is necessitating a greater demand for age-specific services. Since Infratil as established in 1994, medical imaging scans in Australia have surged from fewer than 10 million to over 30 million annually, with much of this growth driven by advanced imaging techniques. This trend emphasises the growing importance of diagnostic imaging in proactive health management and reinforces its role as an idea that matters for the future of healthcare. #infratil #healthcare #ideasthatmatter
