I’ve covered the broad healthcare landscape in my health economics advisory work. One of my earliest papers was The Economics of Treating Tibial Fractures, co-written with Dr. James Heckman of Dartmouth-Hitchcock. The publication celebrates its 20th year since printed in the Bulletin of the Hospital for Joint Surgery in 1997. The work has since been cited in dozens of meta-analyses and research papers since published, more in the past several years as value-based and bundled payment for joint surgery is being adopted.

Thank you Aaron Strout for hosting our conversation on the Reaching Higher Podcast, now live on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. We covered a lot of ground addressing health care and health citizenship, the growing prospects for our homes as our health hubs, and how our humanity is a key ingredient in health-making for all.
Jane joined host Dr. Geeta "Dr. G" Nayyar and colleagues to brainstorm the value of vaccines for public and individual health in this challenging environment for health literacy, health politics, and health citizen grievance. Click onto the Pfizer Value of Vaccines site and you can watch four episodes covering the challenges with adult vaccination, the employer and health plan member's journey to vaccination, reimbursement, and collaborating for proactive prevention.
I'm grateful to be part of the Duke Corporate Education faculty, sharing perspectives on the future of health care with health and life science companies. Once again, I'll be brainstorming the future of health care with a cohort of executives working in a global pharmaceutical company.
