Dear Donald J. Trump: Shouting in all caps doesn’t make it true. You and your supporters lost every single voter fraud case. Every. Single. One. Instead of pouting, please do your job. The virus is surging. We are in a recession. Russia hacked us, again. Where are you?

Help end the pandemic. Help save lives. When it's your turn, get the COVID vaccine! #ThisIsOurShot California Medical Association Atul Nakhasi Paul Bixenstine, MD

Delta variant is increasing #COVID infections globally. What we SAY & what we DO matters! Just published in nature, we demonstrate that text messages informed by behavioral science increase COVID-19 vaccination. nature.com/articles/s4158….

How can we design programs to nudge COVID vaccination for those hesitant vs. apathic? My new editorial in Nature News & Views applies new insights from an important RCT out today in nature led by Hengchen Dai Silvia Saccardo Daniel Croymans & others UCLA Health nature.com/articles/d4158…

Congrats to Daniel Croymans UCLA_GIMHSR & team whose paper in nature on strategies to increase #COVID19Vaccine acceptance received the 2022 top 10 clinical research award from Clinical Research Forum clinicalresearchforum.org/news/595629/Cl…

We evaluated changes in health screening rates before and during the pandemic UCLA_GIMHSR and published the results in the JGIM Journal of General Internal Medicine. Screening rates were reduced and did not fully recover to pre-pandemic. Check out the article PubMed Online. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35083647/

Two noteworthy criticisms of value-based health care this week. First up, Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA, highlighting that many VBC models overemphasize the 'saving $' part of the value equation over 'improving quality' - PARTICULARLY when high quality care costs $$. forbes.com/sites/sachinja…
