Financial incentives still discourage long-term investments in prevention and well-being because the benefits may be realized years later [...]

We Built a Sick-Care System. It’s Time to Build a Healthcare System.

We Built a Sick-Care System. It's Time to Build a Healthcare System. By Russell H. Greenfield, MD, Founding Executive Director, The Institute for the Advancement of Whole Health at Southern California University of Health Sciences Key Takeaways Despite extraordinary medical advances and outsized healthcare spending, Americans continue to experience poorer health outcomes than people in other wealthy nations. Our healthcare system is largely structured around diagnosing and treating illness, as opposed to preventing disease and helping people achieve lifelong health and well-being. Improving health outcomes and controlling healthcare costs will require fundamentally rethinking the financial incentives that drive [...]

Keeping Kids in the Game: Preventing Injury and Burnout in Youth Sports Sports can offer tremendous benefits for children and adolescents—helping to build strength, confidence, teamwork skills, emotional resilience, and lifelong healthy habits.

As AI Gets Smarter, Healthcare Education Must Get More Human

As AI Gets Smarter, Healthcare Education Must Get More Human By Tamara Rozhon, EdD, Provost, Southern California University of Health Sciences Artificial intelligence is going to transform healthcare.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration now maintains an extensive list of AI-enabled medical devices authorized for marketing in the United States, and the World Health Organization describes AI as already playing a role in diagnosis and clinical [...]

An AI tool that detects disease earlier. A drug that targets a biological pathway we couldn't reach before.   These advances matter enormously. But one of healthcare’s greatest opportunities may be much less technological: getting better at helping people turn what they know into what they can actually do in their everyday lives.  Helping people make meaningful, sustainable changes in their daily lives may sound decidedly low-tech [...]
