8 stories we are following at Becker's Healthcare this week. We are also thrilled to kick off the Becker's Healthcare Annual Meeting in late April. 1. Cannabis use tied to much higher risk of heart attacks. Elizabeth Gregerson. Does that mean it's time to ease up on edibles for sleep. "Cannabis users are six times more likely to experience a heart attack, according to a study published March 18 in JACC: Advances" 2. 4 $1 billion plus hospital projects. Kristin Kuchno. Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, Scripps Health and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital each are on this list of systems. 3. HSHS to ‘transform’ 2 Wisconsin hospitals with $270M investment Alan Condon These will be two of their Green Bay Area hospitals. Ashok Rai, M.D. is the incredible leader of St Vincent's in Green Bay. “This is much more than an investment in our brick and mortar,” HSHS Wisconsin Market President and CEO Bob Erickson said in a news release. “With projected population growth, an aging population and a growing number of patients traveling to Green Bay from afar to seek healthcare, we see a significant need to open more access to patients who want to receive care from us.” 4. Mass General Brigham invests $400M in cancer care ahead of Dana-Farber split. Alan Condon. 5. A crossroads for GLP-1s. Jakob Emerson. Great comments in this piece from Andrew Witty the CEO of United. “Fundamentally, healthcare costs more in the U.S. because the price of a single procedure, visit, or prescription is higher here than it is in other countries,” he said. “Just look at GLP-1 prices. One drug, which costs $900 in the U.S., costs about a tenth of that in Europe.” 6. Cedars-Sinai names chair of medicine. Erica Carbajal The new chair of medicine comes from Mass General Brigham. 7. Lawrence General Hospital taps interim CEO. Kristin Kuchno Diana Richardson became the new CEO. 8. ‘Robust returns’: Cedars-Sinai’s informatics strategy. Giles Bruce "The health system recently bolstered its informatics leadership by promoting Shaun Miller, MD, to chief health informatics officer and appointing Yaron Elad, MD, as chief medical informatics officer and Lisa Stephenson, MSN, RN, as chief nursing informatics officer. The moves reflect an increased focus on AI and innovation — and the role informatics plays in both — at Cedars-Sinai. “Hopefully efficiency is gained, where our investment in these platforms leads to really robust returns and improved patient outcomes and clinician efficiency,” Dr. Miller told Becker’s. “Because I think point solution over point solution is going to be hard to scale across healthcare.”
