Economist John Nash (the subject of the 2001 film “A Beauti- ful Mind”) won the Nobel Prize in 1994 for describing the equilib- rium concept for non-cooperative games, where more than one party is involved. In a Nash equilibrium, uncooperative multiple partners in a contract get frozen in their relationship, because parties have nothing to gain by changing only their own strategy, Lee said. “We all know how complex our world of health care is, with many different parties and they’re sure not cooperating,” he said. “You can’t change anything because Blue Cross won’t pay for it, and Blue Cross doesn’t want to change their payment system because other payers won’t change at the same time and they don’t want to be at a disadvantage, and the result is nothing happens.” But Nash equilibriums break down when the pain of main- taining the status quo for mul- tiple parties exceeds their fear of the unknown, Lee said, which describes the state of the health care system. “The fear of the unknown is huge. But the pain for payers, for providers, for patients also is huge and growing. We’ve reached the tipping point. So there is an openness to changing things dra- matically. But it’s scary to change dramatically. That’s what is going on now in Washington: We see fear kicking in and trying to keep this Nash equilibrium from being fundamentally changed,” Lee said. “Even if they don’t do much in Washington this year, it’s not like the tension in the equilibrium is going to go away.” So, Lee maintained, the time is ripe for an overhaul. In Lee’s proposed framework, which he credited to Arnold Mil- stein, a consultant at Mercer, a human resources medical consult- ing firm, change comes in stages over a 10-15-year period. “In the first stage, measures get developed for hospital and doctor quality and efficiency, and they’re put out there,” Lee said. “The CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

It’s got to be a nudging of providers along the road,” Lee said. “What provider organizations do is qualitatively changing as we go to a world in which we’re actually being paid based on an outcome, for example, for keeping asthmatics out the hospital, for keeping patients from bouncing back and being re-admitted,” he said. “In the old world, with fee- for-service for everything, every visit, every hospitalization, the locus of knowledge was in those individual clinicians who knew what to do with a sick patient.” With the growth of knowledge in medicine, that model clearly is unsustainable in today’s health care system, Lee said. By contrast, he said, in the new world, measuring outcomes cannot be done by the physician alone. It takes teamwork and organizational knowledge, such as how to prevent medical errors and

Knoles is planning to offer a free lesson once each during the fall and spring terms. The lessons are open to children in grades 3-5. “We are trying to promote the appreciation of swimming as a lifetime sport by giving faculty and staff parents an opportunity to have their children try it on us,” Knoles said. “We have such a rich tradition in competitive swimming here at Pitt, I wanted the coaches and our swimmers to share the love of our sport with the children of our faculty and staff.” To register, employees should contact assistant swimming coach Tanica Jamison at [email protected], and provide their name, address, email address and phone number, along with the age and name of the child or children.

The research, led by Kareem Abu-Elmagd, a faculty member in the School of Medicine and director of the Intestinal Rehabili- tation and Transplantation Center at the Thomas E. Starzl Trans- plantation Institute, assessed the evolution of intestinal and multi- visceral transplantation in the first 500 such transplants conducted at UPMC from 1990 to 2008, which represent more than 25 percent of the worldwide total. Over nearly two decades divided into three eras, 453 patients received 215 intestine, 151 liver-intestine and 134 multi- visceral transplants. Abu-Elmagd noted, “Our

Among the therapies that have been developed as a result of understanding these biological pathways are aromatase inhibi- tors, Davidson said. These oral anti-cancer drugs that inhibit the conversion of androgens from the adrenal glands to estrogen can be an effective treatment for post- menopausal women. Clinical trials are underway to study how to integrate aromatase inhibitors into current therapies: Should they be used with or instead of tamoxifen, together or in a sequence, and for how long? The paradigm for estrogen receptor targeting has been applied to other signaling pathways, such as the EGFR epidermal growth factor receptor (also known as the HER or Erb family). Researchers are particularly interested in the HER2 gene, Davidson said. “In 20 years we’ve gone from understanding that about 20-30 percent of breast can- cers over-express this protein, and they usually do it because of extra copies of the gene in the nucleus.
