Approximately 75% of physicians we surveyed in five Latin American countries offer #telehealth services—and of these, 80% say they expect their practices to be hybrid in the future. Explore our insights on the future of #healthcare in the region. mckinsey.dsmn8.com/TKbv29T-p…
Our recent survey found staffing challenges are affecting elective care capacity at US hospitals, with more respondents trying to hire additional staff than in October 2021. #healthcare mckinsey.dsmn8.com/VPGp1b-92…

Patients love the convenience of #telehealth, but physicians are concerned about its sustainability. Our recent article explores how providers could create a model that meets both their needs. #healthcare mckinsey.dsmn8.com/NtD5VNp6y…

Some evidence healthaffairs.org/doi/full/1… (and antidote nytimes.com/2014/06/09/busin…) to suggest these low-income patients don't have the resources to move for insurance @PolicyRx xitter.cf/aribindi/status/100162…
Replying to @emlitofnote
(1/3) It's sadly not that simple. In medical school at LAC+USC, I saw undoc. patients from the entire country as well as from Mexico and other countries- b/c they knew CA would pay for regular dialysis for all of them. NY I hear is the same way.

$1000+ deductibles have become a new norm. And they have severe consequences for ordinary people with chronic or semi-chronic illnesses (cancer, HIV, heart disease, diabetes). xitter.cf/reedabelson/status/992…

“Why did you admit him?” the attending asked. In my exhaustion, the excuses I’d prepared left my mind, and I blurted out the truth. “Because he was sick and he had nowhere else to go.” @nejm Questionable Admissions nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
