Dear John,
Health Affairs is accepting applications to the Health Affairs Podcast
Fellowship program
.
This program is an opportunity for US-based applicants who are in the
early or mid-early stages of their career.
Listen to the Pathways podcast
to see
what the latest cohort of Health Policy Fellows produced.
Opioids
Two articles in the new issue of Health Affairs discuss opioid use.
Amol Navathe and coauthors examine whether peer comparison feedback,
individual audit feedback, or both, were effective relative to usual
care in reducing opioid prescribing in acute care settings.
The authors found peer comparison feedback, alone and combined with
individual audit feedback, significantly reduced the number of pills and
morphine milligram equivalents per opioid prescription.
Analyzing referrals of hospitalized patients with opioid use disorder
(OUD) from a Boston, Massachusetts, safety-net hospital to postacute
care, Simeon Kimmel and coauthors determine that more than eight in ten
referrals are rejected.
"Referrals associated with OUD had more than double the odds of
rejection compared with referrals not associated with an OUD diagnosis
when adjusting for clinical and demographic confounders," they conclude.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Alexis Drutchas and coauthors argue
