Love when a health economist (@mattxsutton.bsky.social) uses a qualitative causal model (Directed Acyclic Graph) to critique econometric analyses and think through what parameters and data is needed for a robust model #HESGBristol #EconSky #HealthEconomics @hope-uom.bsky.social

Culture is king, and yet not something we routinely measure or include in evaluation. "Willingness to pursue dialysis at home relied on patients’ and carers’ ability to place their confidence in their kidney care teams rather than how services were organised." bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/1...

Our recent Artificial Intelligence in Medicine publication looked at how the data mining of process-aware information systems (i.e., #processmining) can be used to inform healthcare decision-analyses, where economic outcomes are important. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #AI #healtheconomics

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

One thing that econ critiques don't understand is there is no insult from them that economists haven't already heard from another economist in their professional career.

Once again diving into #VBHC for a project and once again struck by the disappointing quality of the literature. So much talk about 'value' in healthcare, yet much of it reflects only a surface-level or pseudo-understanding of the concept. We can do better. qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/24/7...
