🎬 That's a wrap on #WHES2026!
On Day 2 at @MorningConsult, we asked what Day 1's new research means for policy. Three panels brought the paper authors together with policy experts to discuss the state of the national healthcare system and how to turn their insights into real-world solutions.
💵 Payer Policy: moderated by @STParente (@UMNews) with @djheakin (@AAF) and Nathan Wilson (Econic Partners, former FTC)
🤖 Technology & Innovation Policy: moderated by Marta Wosinska (@BrookingsInst) with Ellen Lukens (former CMMI) and Stephanie Carlton (@CMSGov)
🏥 Payer & Provider Policy: moderated by Karoline Mortensen (@univmiami) with @LorenAdler and Matthew Fiedler (@BrookingsInst) and Randy Pate (former CCIIO)
Thank you to our moderators, panelists, and everyone who joined us in DC! 🙌 #HealthEconomics #HealthPolicy

.@STParente breaks down why healthcare price transparency is pivotal:
“Healthcare is so opaque. If you actually ask somebody: What does it cost to get, say, a hip replacement? It can range all over the place… If people had access to these prices, it would actually work much more like a regular market.”

📄 NEW RESOURCE: New research examines the long-term effects of prescription drug price controls on pharmaceutical innovation. The paper finds that lower expected drug revenues can reduce incentives for R&D, with potential implications for the development of future medicines and patient access to new treatments.

FHIR is a huge leap forward, but it’s not the finish line for interoperability. 🏥💻
@stparente and Karen Mandelbaum break down why ONC’s "clean-up" is just the beginning. To get to true longitudinal records, we need to move beyond exchange and focus on data quality.
