Our members making headlines

A new study led by Terrence Liu, M.D., M.S., NCSP scholar and a clinical instructor of internal medicine, suggests that policymakers can rest easier about one of the top worries about telehealth: that virtual care will drive up the use of tests and scans that patients do not need, wasting money and resources. In fact, the study shows that low-value care did not rise faster at primary care practices that used telehealth the most, compared with those that used it the least. | | |
National Poll on Healthy Aging
| | |
A new analysis of National Poll on Healthy Aging data by a team including Kate Bauer, Ph.D., M.S., assistant professor of public health, suggests that having grandchildren and seeing them regularly may be linked to improved mental health and a reduced risk of loneliness for older adults. Grandparents in the survey who see their grandkids more often reported they were less likely to say they feel isolated. | |
