New Mega RCT testing >20 nudges for flu vaccination, posted online today ahead of publication: whr.tn/3qBoosM Conducted via @ChangeBcfg & Penn Med Nudge Unit at 2 health systems & Walmart with Katy Milkman Angela Duckworth & many others. Key finding: default framing worked best

We just released 2 landmark studies testing dozens of SMS interventions sent to ~800,000 ppl encouraging flu vaccinations at Walmart, Penn Medicine & @Geisinger. The top performer lifted vaccination rates by 11%, conveying shots were "reserved for you." penntoday.upenn.edu/news/Penn-Beha…

Proud to have supported this amazing study across Penn Medicine and @Geisinger led by Katy Milkman and Mitesh Patel - penntoday.upenn.edu/news/Penn-Beha…

This is the first of a series of blog posts on W2H's response to the pandemic within Penn Medicine. This first one focused on a program called COVID Watch which is a remote monitoring program we set up at the height of the pandemic and is still ongoing. buff.ly/2OFIyUn

Amazing work done by in iterations led by Kathleen Lee, MD to leverage tech and switch visits from hospital to home. Impact on outcomes and quality of life are very significant.buff.ly/3byorkf. Way to Health Penn Medicine Penn Med Transformation & Innovation Neda Khan Lauren Hahn Penn Med CDH

1/ 4wks & 2800+ 1st doses💪🏾across W & SW Philly later... we came back to where we started. 550 2nd doses administered 🩹 with an NPS of 96. No show rate? < 0.4%. When health system & community leaders come together to prioritize & resource #equity, *everything* is possible.

2nd in the blog post series. buff.ly/3tlmCNz on Penn Medicine's community vaccination clinics. Led by Kathleen Lee, MD Lauren Hahn Neda Khan Michael Kopinsky and many more. It indeed takes a village. - 2800+ vaccinated - No lines / wait times - 96 NPS!

The fun thing about working Penn Medicine is the intersection of research & practice. This post is abt research to identify ways to vaccinate patients against the flu with potential use in COVID vaccine rollout. Careful word choice increased uptake by 11%. buff.ly/3rebqAT

While Watch got subjective data, the Pulse program focused on objective dyspnea data esp. in the ED setting. The intersection led to the PCORI award. Analysis is pending and to be published shortly. buff.ly/3dbhANa. Kathleen Lee, MD Neda Khan Penn Med CDH Penn Medicine

This post focuses on the design & launch of COVID SAFE. As the University considered re-opening, ongoing testing was a concern. This is a project that used Saliva based testing & leveraged nudges and innovation. buff.ly/3cUnLGl Mitesh Patel Penn Med Nudge Unit Alli Oakes

New RCT out today in JAMA Network Open led by Alli Oakes on the power of #Defaults. Changing email invitations for a COVID-19 Surveillance Testing Program from "invited to participate" to "you have been conditionally enrolled" increased participation by 22% bit.ly/3vO2GEM

My thanks to the COVID SAFE team, who created a novel low cost saliva assay and provided over 67,000 tests with <24h turnaround time, and simultaneously tested the best methods for implementation. #PennProud ⁦Penn Medicine⁩ ⁦Way to Health⁩ jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
