If you have to take a daily pill to reduce your risk of heart disease, wouldn't it be easier get your meds at the pharmacy 4 days/yr instead of 12? We made a simple tweak in the default order that made things easier for patients and reduced disparities 🧵 jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…

It was great to be joined by @kit_delgadoMD for a seminar at IFH yesterday as he shared how @PennNudgeUnit is taking on impactful health research that turns behavioral insights into outcomes.

Thanks to all our speakers, poster presenters, attendees, and symposium staff! We are wrapping with lunch and final workshops.

Michelle Tropper & Rina Ramirez shared how patient-centered messaging with lab results improved engagement. Messages explained how statins could help patients with their high LDL, were professionally translated into Spanish, and securely transmitted.

We're onto our final set of speakers at #NudgeSymp24! We have with us @miteshspatel (@Ascensionorg), Maria-Alkistis Iliopoulou & Colin Shiner (@InterSystems), Hadassah Raskas (@ClalitInnovate), Michelle Tropper (HealthEfficient) & Rina Ramirez (@Zufall_Health).

How can culture in health care change to take advantage of tech innovations, Tom asked. We have to allocate people, said Roy, and be good at portfolio & horizon management. For scaling, "We have to be better at faster decisions and think different about financial analyses."

Roy shared several of his favorite @PennMedicine innovation projects - Heart Safe Motherhood, CARe, and SOAR - and the importance of trust and information-seeking when things don't go right with an initiative.

We're excited to be joined now by Tom Lee @ThomasHLeeMD and Roy Rosin @rrosin for a fireside chat on the past, present, and future of health care innovation! #NudgeSymp24
