A big shout out to @LucyXiaolu_Wang who, as inaugural program chair for the Innovation and Digitization program area, created amazing sessions #ASHEcon2025.
It has been a blast talking #DigitalHealth with so many cool researchers!
This is a cool paper by two great junior researchers. @MartiRepetto1 and @MargheAgnoletto show that job satisfaction of general practitioners(family doctors) increases with more female doctors in the practice.
Using @MabelSurvey #ASHEcon2025
@MartiRepetto1 joint w/ @MargheAgnoletto shows that among doctors in Australia, ⬆️ female share in the composition of the practice leads to ⬆️ job satisfaction

Amid recent, and most welcomed, announcements on funding for women’s health, @MartiRepetto1 reflections on how far we’ve come. And how much we still need to catch up.

Private health insurers are now offering GP telehealth services. Is this a risk to Medicare? theconversation.com/private-… via @ConversationEDU
This, if implemented, can have a huge impact on access and affordability of preventive care. Things are moving…slowly, but moving.

My first Conversation article and I couldn’t be more excited to get this research out. Still lots to do in this area.
Thanks to the editor Phoebe Roth for all her help!
Many people are forced to pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars for specialist medical care. So why do specialists charge so much? Health economist @SusanJMendez at @MelbIsntUOM explains. theconversation.com/medicare…
This has been a central topic of my research. We have collected and analysed data from different sources. I'd like to advocate for evidence-based policy and better data collection/accessibility to researchers. Thanks to the editor at The Conversation.theconversation.com/medicare…
Our work on the variation of fees for private hospital services in Australia. Still lots of work to do in this area!
