Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Great Resignation shows no signs of slowing down. Employers hoping to return to business as usual are in for a rude awakening. There has been a fundamental sea change in what employees expect from the workplace experience, and organizations that do not adapt to meet those new expectations will lose out in a tight labor market. A revealing new survey by Indeed, the world’s number one job site, and Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation shows this is especially true with gen Z and young millennial workers—who want to work for employers that value kindness and mental health. Since April 2021, at least four million Americans have been leaving their jobs each month. This ten-month period is the largest exodus of employees on record. Perhaps, as a McKinsey report argues, we should reconsider the term The Great Resignation, which implies a short-lived phenomenon. They suggest The Great Attrition—but also quickly point out … [Read more...] about Indeed And Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation Find Young Workers Put A High Priority On Kindness And Mental Health

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Often misunderstood, Redesign Health’s model is a very different way to create, fund and launch healthcare startups, but will it pay off over the long term? Typically, a story starts with what a company is. In the case of Redesign Health , perhaps it’s best to start with what it isn’t. Redesign Health is not a venture capital (VC) firm, despite the fact that it's often listed among other VCs in funding press releases . It’s not a startup studio or accelerator, even though it’s named as a partner in building many early-stage healthcare companies. Instead, Redesign Health styles itself as “a company that powers innovation in healthcare by developing technologies, tools, and insights that lower the barriers to change across the industry.” What does that mean? After conversations with Redesign Health CEO Brett Shaheen, in addition to other entrepreneurs in the Redesign Health family, the answer is seemingly … [Read more...] about Inside Redesign Health’s Bid To Change The Healthcare Innovation Cycle

Those who worked virtually were more likely to say burnout worsened over the course of the pandemic (38%) than those working on site (28%).

Psychedelics, long stigmatized as risky recreational drugs, are finally finding a place in polite society. More and more research from prominent institutions like Johns Hopkins suggests that such drugs, in the right formulations and with supervision, can bring about therapeutic breakthroughs in patients, notably in those who have proven to be resistant to other types of treatment. advertisement advertisement Venture capital firms have taken notice—pouring money into startups developing psychedelic treatments for everything from PTSD to smoking cessation. A January analysis by Business Insider identified 11 venture capital firms (most of them founded in the past three years) that have collectively invested roughly $140 million in the psychedelics category. Funding accelerated after psychedelic startup Compass Pathways raised $146 million in its September 2020 initial public offering and an additional $144 million in a secondary offering in April … [Read more...] about VC money keeps flowing into psychedelics-based mental health

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Waste in the U.S. healthcare system is $760 billion to $935 billion annually, or 25% of total medical spending, according to a new analysis published in JAMA . It’s long been known that there is waste in the U.S. healthcare system and that has triggered a move away from fee-for-service medicine where insurers and the government have historically paid for volume of healthcare delivered. Instead, health plans are increasingly paying via value-based models that reward doctors and hospitals for achieving quality measures and outcomes. But much work is to be done, according to the JAMA “special communication” and a package of articles and editorials outlining waste in the U.S. health system and potential solutions. “The estimated total costs of waste and potential savings from interventions that address waste are as high as $760 billion to $935 billion and $191 billion to $282 billion, respectively,” Dr. William … [Read more...] about U.S. Health System Waste Hits $935 Billion A Year

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Of the key lessons that Covid-19 has served up on a silver platter, one of the clearest takeaways is that the U.S. healthcare system is not set up to handle a public health pandemic like the novel coronavirus. From the crippling fragmentation of the delivery system and challenges with care access, to the lack of information transparency and connectivity, the industry’s capabilities and infrastructure have been pushed to the limits as the Covid-19 pandemic rages on. At the same time, the current environment continues to shine a light on just how well positioned digital platforms - which bring together users of different types (think of Lyft bringing together riders and drivers) - are to address the many deficiencies the pandemic has contributed to and revealed. Platforms improving decision-making and information asymmetry in healthcare In a world where primary care providers (PCPs) are in short supply — and both … [Read more...] about Platforms And Pandemics: Embracing Digital Health Platform Disruption In The Covid-19 Era

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Sandra Scheinbaum, Ph.D., Founder and CEO, Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, Inc. In part as a consequence of the pandemic, which has caused greater focus and scrutiny on all aspects of health and wellness, the field of health coaching is experiencing an unprecedented boom. According to researchers, the need for healthcare support staff (a category into which health coaches fall) has grown a whopping 34% since 2019 alone , with health coaching itself assessed as a $7 billion service market —and growing—as of early last year. And according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that demand isn’t diminishing anytime soon: Employment opportunities in health education professions are projected to grow by 17% between 2020 and 2030 .

On an unassuming corner near Union Square in downtown Manhattan , a slow creep of new businesses have cropped up over the last few months, occupying storefronts that previously housed retailers more typical of lower Fifth Avenue—a now-vacated Eddie Bauer outpost, Bobby Flay’s legendary restaurant Mesa Grill, which shuttered in 2013, and British lingerie store Rigby & Peller. The newcomers— Modern Age , Kindbody , and VSpot , which inked its lease just last week—have clustered, one next to another, near 15th Street. And they share something in common: all these businesses are women-founded and provide women’s health and wellness services. advertisement advertisement That they’re all light-flooded, bright windowed spaces, street-level, with frontage and marquee branding right in the midst of one of New York’s most trafficked shopping districts is perhaps a sign there’s been a seismic shift in the public discourse around women’s healthcare. … [Read more...] about A women’s health micro-neighborhood springs up on Fifth Avenue

(CNN) Far too often, Dr. Debra Houry found herself covered in blood. As an emergency physician in the United States for about 20 years, Houry said, it was a "frequent occurrence" to treat young men in the emergency room for gunshot wounds. They often would "bleed out" on her as she was resuscitating them. Then she would search the hospital for a clean white coat to wear "so that I'd look respectable and presentable to talk to their families -- or to somebody that did survive but then was paralyzed or had traumatic stress as a result of it," Houry said. "That was heartbreaking." The rate of gun-related deaths in the US appears to be getting worse.

(CNN) Drug overdoses in the United States were deadlier than ever in 2021, according to provisional data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly 108,000 people died of drug overdoses in 2021, and about two-thirds of those deaths involved fentanyl or another synthetic opioid.
