Thank you Professor Ge Bai for this detailed study. I remember a similar question ensued during one of our marketing classes while discussing the case of the Epipen. I am glad this has brought some clarity to the discussion around the middlemen in drug distribution process, their roles and who truly makes more money from generic drug sales.

This new study in #HSR from Jordan Everson, Vaishali Patel PhD, MPH, Andrew Bazemore and Bob Phillips, MD MSPH tests whether differences in hospital interoperability are related to the extent to which hospitals treat groups that have been economically and socially marginalized.     What is known: Several hospital characteristics reflecting smaller scale or reduced resources have been shown to relate to lower rates of hospital engagement in the interoperable exchange of health information, an important policy goal.     What this study adds: Only one of five proxy measures of the extent to which hospitals treat populations that have been marginalized — the area social deprivation index — was associated with differences in hospital interoperability.     Conclusion: The use of area deprivation data may be important to monitor and address hospital clinical data interoperability disparities to avoid related health care disparities.      Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/g5KQtYjW       #HealthServicesResearch  Wiley AcademyHealth
