  • I wasn’t able to listen to this one

    Hi there, Was anyone else able to listen to the January 26 episode, entitled, “Adressing the Omicron Variant SARS-CoV-2?” I’m a religious listener and would still like to hear this one but every time I try to open a notice pops up saying that the episode is temporarily unavailable.

  • Interview Titles

    These audio interviews are great however I would like to make a observation/recommendation. My observation is that in most cases when deciding which podcast to listen to the topic is more important then the author. Because of the format of the podcast listings in iTunes, the author is always visible, but the topic is almost always truncated. Therefore, my suggestion would be to list the topic title before the author in the list of available podcasts.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NEJM Interview: Ruqaiijah Yearby on recent trends in health care markets and their implications for health equity.
Q: Given the trends, what steps could health care systems take to advance commitments to health equity?
Strengthen the link between health equity and quality of care, collaborate with state governments to ensure continued access for disadvantaged populations, monitor PE-owned facilities after acquisition for negative impacts on care, and balance profit motives with patient care in governance and practice.
NEJM Interview: Ruqaiijah Yearby on recent trends in health care markets and their implications for health equity.
Q: Professor Yearby, what factors have driven the rapid growth in private equity in healthcare in this country?
Regulatory failures that increased compliance costs, near-zero interest rates that made debt financing attractive, and the passage of large healthcare-related provisions that can incentivize PE investment; all of these created conditions where hospitals and related facilities sought private equity as a means of financing, sometimes with negative consequences for care quality and access.
NEJM Interview: Leemore Dafny on the implications of corporatization of the U.S. health insurance industry.
Q: What policies could improve insurer performance and reduce the negative effects of corporatization?
Policies could include fostering competition, lowering entry barriers for new insurers, and standardizing processes to reduce fixed costs for smaller insurers.
NEJM Interview: Leemore Dafny on the implications of corporatization of the U.S. health insurance industry.
