This is a TIE-U post associated with Karoline Mortensen’s Introduction to Health Systems (UMD’s HLSA 601, Fall 2012). For other posts in this series, see the course intro.
This week I’m going to cheat and refer you to prior posts instead of writing a fresh one.
Mortensen assigned the 2008 NEJM paper by Cohen, Neumann, and Weinstein, Does preventive care save money? I already blogged on that paper, among others, here. Go read it if this issue interests you.
Other assigned readings pertained to the adverse consequences of vaccination, or lack thereof. Aaron has written a lot about vaccination, much of which you’ll find here. Enjoy!
