Nudging Health: Health Law and Behavioral Economics

from Book Shelter · host Book Shelter

Explores the intersection of health law and behavioral economics, examining how "nudges"—subtle interventions influencing choices—can be applied to healthcare. The content addresses the ethics of nudges, discussing concerns about paternalism, manipulation, and patient autonomy, particularly in sensitive areas like end-of-life care and organ donation. It investigates behavioral economics' role in healthcare reform, analyzing the effectiveness of mandates, cost-sharing, and default options in promoting better health decisions and controlling costs. Furthermore, the sources delve into specific applications, such as influencing physician prescribing patterns, the impact of medical credit, and the use of technology to support patient decision-making.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Nudging-Health-Law-Behavioral-Economics/dp/1421421003?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=ef669f72314fdc0e2414c3d3726791d2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
