Summary: The current sustainability labeling landscape is accused of causing confusion among consumers due to excessive, complex, similar, and ambiguous information. Meta-sustainability labeling is proposed as a solution and this study provides evidence on its added value based on a survey conducted in the USA and Germany. The study confirms the preference for sustainability-labeled products in both countries, with the new common label design outperforming traditional labeling in the USA. In Germany, both the common labeling design and the meta label improved the effectiveness of sustainability labeling for certain consumer segments.

Summary: Many developed countries recognize internationally educated physicians (IEPs) as highly skilled migrants, but a majority of them are unable to obtain a license to practice medicine, resulting in underemployment and underutilization of their skills. Alternative careers in the health and wellness sector provide opportunities for IEPs to use their skills and reclaim their professional identity, but it also comes with challenges.

Summary: Socioeconomic factors have a significant impact on health outcomes, but the current payment structure does not address this issue. The American College of Physicians proposes policy recommendations, including population-based payment models, to adjust for the impact of social factors on health outcomes. It is also important to improve access to health information technology and reduce healthcare disparities and inequities through social policies.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the impact and mechanisms of public performance reporting (PPR) on healthcare outcomes, finding moderate evidence to support PPR's role in stimulating quality improvement activities, informing consumer choice, and improving clinical outcomes. The effects of PPR varied across clinical areas, highlighting the importance of considering different users' perspectives and the healthcare system in which PPR operates.

Summary: A survey conducted at two large academic hospitals in Philadelphia revealed that nurses exhibited a higher hesitancy towards receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, with common reasons including concerns about side effects, the novelty of the vaccines, and lack of vaccine knowledge. Black healthcare personnel were more hesitant compared to White counterparts, and females were more hesitant than males across all healthcare positions.

Summary: This cohort study evaluates the association between bundled payments and episode outcomes per medical and surgical episodes for physician groups compared with hospitals participating in the Medicare bundled payments initiative. The study found that bundled payments were associated with cost savings for surgical episodes for physician groups, and savings for both surgical and medical episodes for hospitals. Policymakers should consider the comparative performance of participant types when designing and evaluating bundled payment models.

Summary: Given the current environmental threats, sustainable dietary choices are increasingly important. However, consumers often struggle to assess the sustainability of products and make better choices. This pilot study examines the impact of explanatory product information on sustainable purchases in an online supermarket, and whether additional health information increases message effectiveness. The results suggest that an explanatory sustainability claim reduces sustainable purchases for individuals with low environmental attitudes, but the addition of a health claim has no effect.

Summary: Human vision is influenced by historic and predictive processes. Visual adaptation and predictive processes have separate effects, and when they interact, extrapolation effects have a greater impact on decision making, while size adaptation is more evident in changes to conscious visual awareness.

The analysis found that physicians with higher numbers of patients with social and medical risks in traditional Medicare were significantly less likely to be associated with MA plans.

Summary: Poor dietary patterns are major risk factors for chronic diseases, and the concept of nutrient density, although unfamiliar to consumers, is recognized as a helpful tool in describing healthier foods and nutritional quality. Further research is needed to identify how to best frame the concept in a way that resonates with consumers and facilitates dietary behavior change.

Summary: This study aims to prioritize the quality measures endorsed by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) based on health impact and cost-effectiveness. The results show that early carotid imaging and intravenous tissue plasminogen activator are the most promising measures for quality improvement, and focusing on the top 5 quality measures in AIS care can achieve 92% of the potential value. Our findings can assist providers and payers in setting priorities for quality improvement efforts and value-based payments in AIS care.

Summary: This study aims to understand the variation in enrollment in tiered network health plans (TNPs) and the characteristics of the local provider market associated with TNP penetration. The study found that market competition, rather than the absolute quantity of physicians in an area, is associated with TNP penetration.
