Improving Patient Engagement with Cross-Industry Insights
|
|
A recent NEJM Catalyst Insights Council Survey asked members their perspectives on the ways in which health care leaders can learn from other consumer-facing industries to improve patient engagement. CHIBE Director
Kevin Volpp, MD, PhD co-authored
an analysis of the survey results, which found that hospitality and technology were viewed as the most relevant industries for gathering insights. Respondents believe that these industries have the potential to teach health care leaders valuable lessons on improving customer service and customization.

Bundled Payments: Market Trends & Markers of Success
|
|
In collaboration with the American Hospital Association, CHIBE Associate Director
Amol Navathe, MD, PhD hosted a series of webinars on bundled payments and episodic care programs this fall and winter. Key takeaways from the webinars can be found in a new AHA brief, titled "
Bundled Payments: Market Trends and Markers of Success." The brief addresses common questions around impact on cost and quality, as well as the evidence so far on where savings have been located.

What are some of the core messages that you hope attendees at our symposium took away from your keynote presentation?
Our unhealthy food environment combined with human tendencies to make poor dietary choices underline the need for policies that promote healthy eating. At the federal and local levels, a number of policies have the potential to improve our diet such as federal menu labeling and beverage taxes. Policies which modify the food environment to make the healthy choice easier and do not rely on individual behavior change will likely be more effective and sustainable.

When did you begin incorporating principles of behavioral economics into your work? How does that lens change the way that you think about nutrition policy?
Looking back, I think I have always incorporated principles of behavioral economics into my research. It is hard to think about changing behavior in a meaningful way without a strong understanding of what motivates people’s food choices. Over time, I have become increasingly interested in environmental changes that reduce barriers to healthy eating since our behavior is so resistant to change.
There are so many important research questions in the area of nutrition policy. Serving as a White House Fellow has helped me to better identify which research questions are both important
and urgent. It is on this intersection where I try to focus my attention.
