The Latest Research, Commentary & News From Health Affairs
Tuesday, November 9, 2021
Dear John,
Thank you for being a Health Affairs Today subscriber. Today, we are sending a special email highlighting the one-year anniversary of our A Health Podyssey podcast.
We launched A Health Podyssey a year ago to take listeners beyond the research published in Health Affairs.
In each episode, Health Affairs' Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil brings listeners in-depth conversations with the leading researchers shaping the big ideas in health policy and health services research. Guests provide more insight into their research while putting their findings in context of the larger health care landscape.
We released a new episode each week and now have over 60 episodes for listeners to enjoy. These episodes have been downloaded more than 44,000 times.
Every once in a while, a person's experience as it relates to health care warrants an excursion from the constraints of discussing a single study. For those, we want to offer listeners a broader conversation.
To celebrate A Health Podyssey's one-year anniversary, we take listeners on such an Excursion and speak with Ashish
Jha from the Brown University School of Public Healthto discuss lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and the future of health care payment reform.
Jha is a widely published health care researcher whose public voice mixes a combination of deep expertise and the ability to explain complex health care concepts simply.
Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jha's insights on the virus have helped many navigate complicated public health issues. He's built up a large social media following as a result, with more than 280,000 Twitter followers.
To join the conversation, subscribe to A Health Podyssey onApple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
"We can't go back to the conversation of 2019. You don't get to pick up where you left off...We're going to have to start asking big questions like 'what happens when the next pandemic hits' [and] 'how do we get our system ready.'"
