Welcome to the super-sized fourth edition of “This Week in Health Policy!” There was a lot of health policy happening this week!
I loved sending a weekly roundup of health policy and public health news to one of my student interest groups in graduate school, so I thought it would be a great way to share the interesting articles, research papers, podcasts, and more that I come across each week with all of you! I hope you find something interesting and engaging!
“Every time patients enter our office, it’s like they open the closet door. Sometimes there are only a handful of items inside, neatly laid out, and we can address everything effectively in a few minutes. Other times, it’s bedlam in there. I never feel right ending a visit until I have a basic sense of order. Even if I don’t have all the answers, I need to have a handle on the issues and a workable plan. Only then can I close the closet door.”
