The centerpiece of the

**Health Affairs** Insider Journal Club meeting in September is,
"Choosing Or Losing In Behavioral Health: A Study Of Patient Experiences
Selecting Telehealth Versus In-person Care
."

The authors examined the level of choice patients have in choosing
virtual or in-person visits for behavioral health care services.

The authors conducted a mixed-methods study that paired a nationally
representative survey of 2,701 adults (including 571 who used behavioral
health services) and semi-structured interviews with twenty-six people
with depression or bipolar disorder. They found trade-offs in policies
to preserve patient choice and approaches clinicians can take to
identify and accommodate patient preferences.

On September 26, please join author

**Jessica L. Sousa** of the RAND Corporation for a detailed discussion
of the paper's data, methods, and policy conclusions.

**Health Affairs** Senior Editor

**Kathleen Haddad** will host.

Date:

**Tuesday, September 26, 2023**

Time:

**3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Eastern**

In 2016, in partnership with the Physicians Foundation,

**Health Affairs** launched an article series on the "Practice of
Medicine
,"
focusing on important health policy issues affecting physicians. The
effort has produced a comprehensive collection of policy research in the
field.

A recurring topic in the Practice of Medicine series, and in health
policy circles generally, is the question of how integration,
consolidation, and ownership changes of physician practices are
affecting the nation's health care system, the people who work in it,
and the patients it serves.

Researchers and policy makers have begun to look at what the data tell
us, from the impact of private equity on the workforce to what
hospital-physician integration means for patient outcomes and physician
compensation.

On

**Wednesday, September 27**, please join

**Health Affairs** Editor-in-Chief

**Alan Weil** for an online forum, "How The Ownership and Structure of
Health Care Entities Affect Clinicians & Patients," focusing on recent
work featured in the Practice of Medicine series and broader issues
confronting medical professionals.

Presenters will include:

*

**Erin Fuse Brown**, Catherine C. Henson Professor of Law, and Director,
Center for Law, Health & Society, Georgia State University Law

*

**Joseph Dov Bruch**, Assistant Professor of Public Health Sciences,
University of Chicago, on "Workforce Composition In Private
Equity-Acquired Versus Non-Private Equity-Acquired Physician Practices"
(January 2023)

*

**Brady Post**, Assistant Professor, Department of Health Sciences,
Northeastern University, on "Hospital-Physician Integration is
Associated with Greater Use of Cardiac Catheterization and Angioplasty"
(May 2023)

*

**Gary Price**, President and CEO, Physicians Foundation

*

**Christopher Whaley**, Associate Professor of Health Services, Policy,
and Practice, Brown University School of Public Health, on "Physician
Compensation in Physician-Owned and Hospital-Owned Practices" (December
2021)

*

**Others TBA**

Date:

**Wednesday, September 27, 2023**

Time:

**2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. Eastern**
