Ghost networks in health care: Why physicians are suing insurers
For years we have told patients the same thing when they have trouble finding a doctor: Go to your insurance directory, look it up, they can help you. And despite saying that, many of us have quietly known for a long time that this advice is broken. We still give it. We give it hoping for the best, knowing there really are not many other useful options to offer at this point. And then, as expected, the patients call back. They tell us the phone numbers were disconnected.

How returnships can fix the great tech talent shortage
Gary Lawson from Mastercard Ireland explains how his company devised a returnship programme to tackle an alarming drop-off of professional women mid-career. According to a 2008 Harvard Business Review study, more than half (56pc) of women in science, engineering and technology leave their employers at the mid-level point in their careers. To me, that’s an astounding statistic. We’re losing more than half of female talent in crucial sectors to the economy, just halfway through their careers.
