This insightful dialogue between JHU researcher Dr. Michael Darden, former Senator Richard Burr, and Dr. Lauren Taylor from NYU Grossman School of Medicine, aimed to bridge the gap between healthcare policy and patient trust. This panel, part of a series discussing the future of health care delivery, will offer unique perspectives on how policy decisions can influence public confidence in health care and affect overall health care outcomes.
Panelists:
Richard Burr, Former U.S. Senator from N.C., Principal Policy Advisor; Chair, Health Policy Strategic Consulting practice.
Richard Burr is the principal policy advisor and chair of DLA Piper’s Health Policy Strategic Consulting practice within the firm’s Regulatory and Government Affairs practice group. He provides policy advice, strategic consulting and a wide range of related services to life sciences and healthcare clients navigating a rapidly changing policy landscape and significant regulatory and political uncertainty.
After nearly three decades in federal service as a US congressman and senator, Richard Burr is widely known as one of the foremost government authorities in healthcare and life sciences policy. Since his election to Congress in 1994 and through his tenure as Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), Senator Burr has led many of the most transformative government initiatives in the healthcare and life sciences fields.
Michael Darden is an Associate Professor at the Carey Business School at Johns Hopkins University, a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a Co-editor of the Journal of Human Resources. He works in the fields of health economics and health econometrics.
Lauren Taylor, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Population Health and jointly appointed in the Division of Healthcare Delivery Sciences and the Division of Medical Ethics, at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. This joint appointment reflects Lauren's interest both in empirical work describing the world as it is and normative scholarship about how the world ought to be. Lauren primarily studies US health care through an organizational lens, applying theoretical frameworks from business ethics and political philosophy to managerial and policy dilemmas.
Some of her recent publications have explored hospital's scope of legitimate responsibilities, the role of trust in health care delivery and the community-based organizations' responses to Medicaid's emphasis on social determinants.
