Prenatal care is getting an overdue redesign and will need quality metrics that keep up with it: new research with @neel_shah in @AJOG_thegray and companion piece today in @statnews 🧵 1/ https://t.co/bygFywCv6d
Opinion: Trying to measure the quality of prenatal care using the number of visits as a key metric doesn't make sense — and probably never did.

Our goal was to provide nationally representative travel times for care to help researchers choose appropriate market area definitions for their work - the devil is in the details (our tables!) [3/3]

Smaller market areas (e.g., HSA, PCSA) exclude much of the care people receive. Larger market areas (e.g., 60-min drive time, HRR) are >> typical travel distances [2/3]

Need a distraction from Election Day doomscrolling? Check out our new paper in @AnnalsofIM using geocoded patient and provider addresses to compare actual distances traveled to care with geographic market boundaries [1/3]
The latest issue of Annals is online now. Read about weight loss and PCOS, policies for safe practice by late-career physicians, and a new case report detailing prostate cancer and a remarkable response to an anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate. https://t.co/pqQ5s5gBU4

Are race-blind medical algorithms more fair? Not necessarily. See this 🧵by the fabulous @annalzink, on our new @PNASNews paper Then, if you're hiring in health + data, HIRE ANNA—she's on the job market this fall, and she is one of the best people I've ever worked with
There are good arguments for removing race from medical algorithms, but there may be unintended consequences. Our PNAS paper finds that race-blind algorithms can *worsen* racial inequalities, bc they can't adjust for racial disparities in data quality. https://t.co/bASruXYHXx
