Implementing #ValueBasedCare must include reducing #HealthDisparities in care and ensuring #HealthEquity. @BlueCrossNC describes its technique for identifying disparities in key categories of care: nej.md/3NGwprI @davidjohnson83 @UrsaHealth

We announced @CityblockHealth’s collab with @BlueCrossNC in North Carolina last week. Very proud of our teams who stood up five new clinics where we will offer comprehensive primary, maternity & pediatric care! Some thoughts from local leadership! cityblockhealth.medium.com/n…

Rarely do I have the energy to repost/comment on things with a political tone, but there are so many layers of ignorance on display here, it’s astonishing.

Not @ALKaplan_MD’s comment...that was funny and ironic. I’m referring to the post from which the comment comes.

Proud to work for this innovative, provider-first payer. We recognize the essential care our independent PCPs provide people of NC and the devastating impact COVID has had on revenues. Amazing amount of effort and leadership to get this launched amidst all the chaos. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
📢 Dear Independent Primary Care Providers: Today @BlueCrossNC is launching a new program to help stabilize revenue for your practices. This is in direct response to the toll that #COVID19 has taken on your practice revenue. mediacenter.bcbsnc.com/news/…

It can be hard to keep up with each new #COVID19 development. It feels like we have more questions than answers. I’m inspired by researchers everywhere who are searching for those answers, including my RAND colleagues @c_gidengil and @BoueyHuang.

Heads up fellow North Carolinians. 😳 Kansas just announced a bipartisan way forward on Medicaid expansion (they also have a Dem Governor and GOP majority legislature). We can do this here in NC!! We need to do this here in NC!! #letsdothis #medicaidexpansion
Breaking: Gov. Kelly and Senate GOP leader Denning have reached a Medicaid expansion agreement.
