2022’s most interesting health care research papers, according to the experts
Though the pandemic and all its attendant health care crises remained the major health care story of 2022, churning all the while in the background has been the critical work of academic scholars, operating on longer timelines, who are still trying to make sense of US health care and of medicine itself, to get a better idea of what’s wrong and how to make it better. To wrap up this year, I asked a couple dozen health policy experts what research released this year (though, as one of them reminded me, these papers are often years in the making) had surprised them, changed their thinking, or struck them as especially…

This high generally comes up around the time you start a new habit, self-help book, or personal growth program. “There’s an initial rush when we connect with something that seems like it can solve our problems,” clinical psychologist Chloe Charmichael, Ph.D. explains.

Britain should dish out Covid-style home testing for Strep A, experts have started demanding as panicked parents begin to pile even more pressure on crippled NHS services. Nine children have already died of a rare complication of the usually-mild bacterial infection this winter. Health chiefs say the growing toll, although low, is higher than expected for this time of year. The surge in cases and resulting fears has left the NHS in ‘meltdown’, with parents of sick children swamping GP practices, A&E units and 111 call centres. Dr Nicole Robb, an infectious disease expert at Oxford University, told MailOnline that lateral flow tests should be rolled out to detect the…

Amazon’s Creep Into Health Care Has Some Experts Spooked
Smith told WIRED that Amazon keeps patient health information confidential and secure in compliance with federal law and regulations, and in line with industry standards; Amazon Clinic customer data will be protected through the use of HIPAA-compliant encryption methods. “Protecting patient information is an important part of our business; we are not in the business of selling or sharing it,” Smith wrote. Amazon’s recent efforts to break into health care raise a more fundamental question: Should Big Tech even be allowed in the sector? The motivations of a private company—efficiency, optimization, and above all, profit—don’t exactly square with serving the public good, says Tamar Sharon, a professor at Radboud University…

He gave workers until 5:00 p.m. to decide whether to quit or stay and work “long hours at high intensity.” Meanwhile, large corporations such as CBS suspended their Twitter accounts because of the tumultuous takeover and the uncertainty of its future. Musk has used the kind of oppressive leadership tactics that caused disruption in the post-pandemic workplace—the opposite of what experts call for to remedy workplace havoc…
