It’s Time to Treat Substance Use Disorder Like the Chronic Disease It Is

by Hans Morefield, CEO, CHESS Health 08/25/2023 Leave a Comment

It's Time to Treat Substance Use Disorder Like the Chronic Disease It Is

Far too often, substance use disorder (SUD) is viewed as an “acute condition,” one that can be “cured” with short-term treatment, such as a week-long stay in a detox facility. This could not be further from the truth. The failure to understand the science behind addiction leads individuals who are undertreated or inappropriately treated to return to use again and again. SUD is not a moral failing. It is not a behavioral issue. It is not a choice. The leading health organizations around the

Bullshit Metrics: Is Patient Engagement Real?

For most of history, cutting-edge technology and affluence have gone hand-in-hand. The healthcare industry is no exception to the rule.

A Blueprint for Solving the U.S. Nursing Shortage Crisis

Nurses have the highest level of public trust across medical professions, yet there’s a huge chasm between Americans’ appreciation for nursing and the profession’s uncertain future. A nursing shortage, exacerbated by the COVID pandemic, has been fueled largely by high levels of moral distress, politicization, and lack of support. Left unchecked, the country will experience a critical shortfall of nearly 200,000 nurses in just a few years, according to the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor

Patient Financial Experience: Empowering Patients to Improve Affordability

It’s no secret that healthcare costs have continued to rise over the years. In fact, a staggering four in 10 Americans have skipped medical care due to financial concerns. The rise of high-deductible health plans means more financial responsibility has fallen directly on patients, as out-of-pocket costs have skyrocketed by 111% since 2010 and are projected to increase by 10% each year through 2026.   But there’s good news. According to our own research and data, there is roughly $58

by Anish Sebastian, Co-founder and CEO, Babyscripts 08/17/2023 Leave a Comment

Bullshit Metrics: Is Patient Engagement Real?

For a long time, healthcare providers in the U.S. have been putting band-aids on the problem of maternity care deserts, propping up existing services for pregnant women and new mothers with temporary fixes.  The problem shows no sign of resolving, and it won't until we recognize that the issues at its heart are not temporary. They represent deeper, permanent changes in national demographics and healthcare delivery. And they require permanent solutions.  A DECLINING BIRTH
