Grantee in the News: New Research from Leora Horwitz Published in JAMA
The January 19, 2016 issue of JAMA included new research on physician likelihood of dying in a hospital from 2010 Beeson Scholar, Leora Horwitz, MD.
Dr. Horwitz’s team used US Census Bureau surveys matched to the National Death Index to compare the location of death for physicians with that of other health professionals, non–health care professionals with similar education levels, and the general population aged 30 to 98 years who died between 1979 and 2011.
A segment of the study can be viewed here.
Leora Horwitz, MD, is an associate professor in the Departments of Population Health and Medicine at New York University School of Medicine.
