Price-Informed Shared Decision Making Can Facilitate Meaningful Healthcare Decisions Among Older Patients

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Older Adult-Oriented Resources Highly Adaptable for Use in Diverse Clinical Settings

Price-Informed Shared Decision Making for Older Adults at the Point of Care

NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A three-year initiative by independent nonprofit FAIR Health revealed how price-informed shared decision-making tools used at the clinical point of care help older adults engage in shared decision making with their clinicians. Older patients at the participating sites—Penn Medicine, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, the University of Rochester Medical Center and Emory University—gained clarity around their treatment options and healthcare costs and were able to engage confidently in shared decision making with their providers. Clinicians found the tools adaptable to align with their clinical workflows and staffing complements. These and other insights are included in a new FAIR Health report released today, Price-Informed Shared Decision Making for Older Adults at the Point of Care. The report summarizes key findings from the national initiative, generously funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation.

Price-Informed Shared Decision Making for Older Adults at the Point of Care

Key Program Findings

  • Price-informed shared decision-making tools help patients understand treatment options and costs. After using the tools with their healthcare providers, 71 percent of older patients and family caregivers reported that they felt more informed about their treatment options; 82 percent felt that the clinical and cost information in the tools helped them better understand the most important aspects of their care. Sixty-four percent of older patients reported that they were able to better understand their treatment costs, and 54 percent felt more informed about their annual costs for treatment and care when using the total treatment cost tools.
  • How much cost matters is influenced by age, medical condition and insurance coverage. While research shows that a portion of older patients consider costs to be either an important factor or the most important factor in healthcare decision making,1 costs were not the primary concern for patients with employer-sponsored insurance coverage or other adequate coverage that minimized out-of-pocket costs. Clinicians reported that the point at which patients wished to discuss costs of care varied based on the patient’s diagnosis.
  • Adaptable tools offer flexibility at the point of care for clinicians in diverse clinical settings and workflows. Clinicians employed diverse, tailored implementation approaches to use the tools with older patients, family caregivers and care partners. These approaches included interdisciplinary teams (e.g., geriatricians, neuropsychologists, psychometrists, nurse navigators); leveraging electronic health record systems to disseminate resources; using iPads to showcase tools; and outreach through community events.
  • Price-informed tools and resources can facilitate communication needed for effective shared decision making. Among the older patients and family caregivers surveyed, 82 percent felt confident in their ability to discuss questions and concerns more effectively with healthcare providers. Likewise, 75 percent of clinicians at the participating sites agreed that the tools and resources increased their ability to facilitate discussions around care.
  • Clinicians appreciate and find useful peer-to-peer learning opportunities around shared decision making. Learning exchange sessions enabled clinicians to share and discuss their strategies for implementing the tools and resources at the point of care. Clinicians expressed appreciation for the utility of these sessions.
  • Paid search ads are a notably effective channel for promoting awareness of FAIR Health for Older Adults nationwide. Over 2.1 million individuals viewed the Google paid search ads and banners, generating over 75 percent (300,000 out of 400,000) of unique visits as measured by click-through metrics, making it the most successful channel for bringing attention to FAIR Health for Older Adults.

Ray Campbell, President of FAIR Health, said: “FAIR Health was proud to undertake this point-of-care implementation initiative with the generous support of The John A. Hartford Foundation. Evaluative insights underscore the growing need for objective healthcare information to inform decision making among older adults and have exciting implications for future clinical practice and policy around older adult care.”

Rani Snyder, President of The John A. Hartford Foundation, said: “With our support, FAIR Health is advancing price-informed shared decision making for older adults and their family caregivers so that their health care reflects what matters most to them. The project findings from diverse, real-world clinical sites demonstrate how well-designed informational tools can enhance age-friendly care.”

Mariam Mati, MD, Assistant Professor in the Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology at the Emory University School of Medicine and Geriatrician at Grady’s Lee + White Outpatient Center, stated: “We appreciated the opportunity to evaluate FAIR Health’s shared decision-making tools and resources at the clinical point of care. The tools and resources have the potential to change how clinicians and older patients view and engage in shared decision making.”

Christopher Nguyen, PhD, ABPP, Director of Neuropsychology in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and Director of the Office of Geriatrics and Gerontology at The Ohio State University, stated: “We were pleased to participate in this groundbreaking initiative. The shared decision-making tools and resources are a step forward in creating a more equitable healthcare system in which patients’ voices matter.”

Allison Magnuson, DO, geriatric oncologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center, said: “FAIR Health’s initiative underscored the importance of providing care that is aligned with what matters to older patients. Access to useful information and resources can help alleviate patients’ concerns and encourage them to become more actively involved in healthcare decision making.”

Sarah H. Kagan, PhD, RN, Professor of Gerontological Nursing in the School of Nursing at the Abramson Cancer Center at Pennsylvania Hospital, said: “We were delighted to collaborate with FAIR Health on this initiative. It provided unique insights into how clinicians can help advance cost transparency and reduce financial stress among older patients and family caregivers.”

The Science & Innovation Behind the Sparkle: Dr. Lucy Gildea Supercharges Mary Kay’s Beauty DNA

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Originally published on newsroom.marykay.com

When Dr. Lucy Gildea talks about Mary Kay, you can hear the spark. After 15 years at Procter & Gamble working across healthcare, beauty, and personal care industries, she joined the iconic brand in 2017 and quickly realized she had found her “home” – a place where science, marketing, and purpose all collide. Now as Chief Brand and Scientific Officer, she’s steering Mary Kay’s transformation, evolving the portfolio of advanced beauty solutions and sharpening the brand’s competitive edge through meaningful innovation, personalization, and emotional connection.

In this exclusive interview, Dr. Gildea reflects on the innovative spirit shaping the next chapter of growth of the #1 Direct Selling Brand of Skin Care and Color Cosmetics in the World[1]. Dive in with Lucy as she uncovers the scientific force and brand values supercharging the product portfolio in six questions that spark discovery at every turn!

What drives women’s loyalty to the Mary Kay brand?

  • Women stay loyal to Mary Kay because they genuinely love the brand – and the experience that comes with it. Yes, we offer great products, but what truly sets us apart is our deep sense of purpose. Every day, we wake up knowing exactly why we do what we do: to transform lives, to inspire hope, to enrich women, and to give back to the communities we serve. That commitment is not a marketing statement; it is who we have always been. It is our calling. And it all started with our founder Mary Kay Ash – an unstoppable trailblazer whose vision still guides us. Her legacy gives us a “timeless DNA” and that is what makes this brand so special and so enduring.

How has Mary Kay consistently stayed ahead in product innovation over the years?

  • Staying ahead of the curve requires a disciplined focus on emerging consumers, beauty, and innovation trends. At Mary Kay, we combine robust internal research with insights from external partners, industry studies, and social listening.
  • Just as importantly, we tap into one of our most valuable sources of real-time intelligence: our global network of Independent Beauty Consultants – millions of women who engage with consumers daily.
  • We also look beyond the beauty sector for fresh inspiration, drawing ideas from adjacent industries and broader cultural shifts. By synthesizing this diverse input, we translate it into meaningful product experiences for both consumers and our Independent Beauty Consultants.
  • Our goal is not to compete on every front or be everything to everyone; it is to remain clear about what differentiates us and to deliver a focused, thoughtful product portfolio that our beauty consultants can champion with confidence.

How do you balance legacy, strong brand identity, and constant innovation?

  • As a scientist, I like to say that innovation is in our DNA. While product innovation is a big part of that, we are constantly evolving across every touchpoint of the business, balancing progress with tradition can create “healthy tension,” a challenge that legacy companies face.
  • We work intentionally to move the company forward in ways that keep us relevant, staying true to our identity and culture, focusing on decisions that strengthen the Mary Kay brand.

How do you assess your product portfolio and decide on future product development?

  • We research, develop, and manufacture innovative skincare, color cosmetics, and fragrances for 40 markets and offer nutritional supplements in selected markets. Imagine a world where beauty meets innovation, and our products reach millions across continents Being a global company with a broad portfolio naturally brings complexity. That is why we take a strategic, focused approach, always putting our Independent Beauty Consultant at the center, always looking at what supports “her” ability to grow her business successfully.
  • Our product portfolio assessments also integrate health and wellness for instance through supporting skin barrier and skin microbiome, Artificial Intelligence (AI), immersive beauty experience, and sustainability. Consumers’ needs evolve, and so do the needs of our Beauty Consultants. We thrive on the challenge of delivering bold solutions that align with trends, offer functional depth, sensory delight, and redefine confidence and a sense of community for both our beauty consultants and consumers.

How do you attract the new generation of brand lovers?

  • Mary Kay is by essence a purpose-driven multi-generational brand. We have been living our values for over 62 years, and we want to keep sharing that purpose in a way that resonates with every new audience. Let me walk you through two examples.
  • AI-driven beauty personalization. A first in the direct selling industry, Mary Kay® Foundation Finder uses advanced artificial intelligence to scan a customer’s face on their mobile phone and provide personalized shade recommendations in just seconds. Think flawless foundation meets technology!
  • Millennials and Gen Z consumers also prioritize sustainability and transparency, choosing brands that align with their values to make a positive environmental and social impact. They are not just buying a product – they are also buying into what a company believes in. The Shea ingredient at the heart of our newly launched Mary Kay® Hydrating Cream Mask and our Satin Body®, Hands® and Lips® lines is sustainably sourced through the Global Shea Alliance, contributing to the empowerment of millions of  women, who are the “She behind the Shea” in West Africa. That is one of the things I love most about my role: showing how our brand identity enhances every product we launch and every opportunity we offer.

Can you give us a glimpse into Mary Kay’s most recent launches or upcoming launches?

  • I am so glad you asked! We just recently launched[2] the Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Barrier Restore 1:1:3 which is the most recent innovation in our Clinical Solutions line inspired by widely used professional dermatologic and aesthetic treatments.
  • Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Barrier Restore 1:1:3 provides fast-acting skin barrier repair support and visible redness relief in one formula. Working hand in hand with a favorite moisturizer, this exclusive Barrier Restore Technology formulated mimics the skin barrier’s natural lipid ratio to replenish the key components that help keep the skin barrier strong, keeping out pollutants and bacteria while retaining critical moisture and nutrients. If you know anyone who suffers from skin redness, dryness, itching, rough texture, or overall sensitivity, tell them to give this wonderful product a try!

The Tooth Fairy gives kids a raise

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Average value of a lost tooth increased 17% over last year

CHICAGO, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Losing a tooth is paying off this year.


New findings from the Delta Dental 2026 Original Tooth Fairy Poll® revealed the average value of a single lost tooth during the past year increased by 17% from $5.01 to $5.84.

New findings from the Delta Dental 2026 Original Tooth Fairy Poll® revealed the average value of a single lost tooth during the past year increased by 17% from $5.01 to $5.84. This marks the first year-over-year increase in Tooth Fairy giving since 2023, ending a two-year decline.

The loss of a first tooth is also being rewarded more generously—worth 23% more than the average lost tooth. On average, a first tooth is now valued at $7.17, up from $6.24 in 2025. More than 1 in 3 parents (38%) say the Tooth Fairy leaves extra for their child’s first tooth compared with future teeth.

More kids are waking up to gifts beyond cash, as non-monetary presents from the Tooth Fairy are on the rise. Nearly 1 in 3 children (32%) received a physical gift this year, up from 19% in 2025.

“After a couple of thrifty years, the Tooth Fairy decided it was time to give kids a well-deserved raise,” said Gabriella Ferroni, Senior Director, Strategic Communications, Delta Dental Plans Association. “For the past 28 years, Delta Dental has tracked Tooth Fairy giving trends to help teach children about caring for their oral health through a trusted partner—the Tooth Fairy. The beloved tradition gives kids a reason to celebrate their healthy smiles.”

Since the poll’s inception in 1998, the average cash gift left by the Tooth Fairy has surged 349% from $1.30 to $5.84 per tooth.

U.S. regional ranking for the average value of a lost tooth

  1. Northeast ($6.45): Led the pack with a 41% year-over-year jump.
  2. West ($5.99): Held steady in second place with a 5% increase from last year.
  3. South ($5.89): Dropped from the top spot in 2025, despite a 3% increase in giving.
  4. Midwest ($5.27): Made a big leap with a 52% year-over-year gain, narrowing the gap with the rest of the country.

The value of a lost tooth and the economy 
Historically, the Original Tooth Fairy Poll® has typically mirrored the economy’s overall direction, tracking with the trends of Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500). In recent years, however, the value of a lost tooth diverged from this pattern. For the first time since 2022, the poll has realigned with market trends.

The Tooth Fairy gives kids a raise

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Average value of a lost tooth increased 17% over last year

CHICAGO, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Losing a tooth is paying off this year.


New findings from the Delta Dental 2026 Original Tooth Fairy Poll® revealed the average value of a single lost tooth during the past year increased by 17% from $5.01 to $5.84.

New findings from the Delta Dental 2026 Original Tooth Fairy Poll® revealed the average value of a single lost tooth during the past year increased by 17% from $5.01 to $5.84. This marks the first year-over-year increase in Tooth Fairy giving since 2023, ending a two-year decline.

The loss of a first tooth is also being rewarded more generously—worth 23% more than the average lost tooth. On average, a first tooth is now valued at $7.17, up from $6.24 in 2025. More than 1 in 3 parents (38%) say the Tooth Fairy leaves extra for their child’s first tooth compared with future teeth.

More kids are waking up to gifts beyond cash, as non-monetary presents from the Tooth Fairy are on the rise. Nearly 1 in 3 children (32%) received a physical gift this year, up from 19% in 2025.

“After a couple of thrifty years, the Tooth Fairy decided it was time to give kids a well-deserved raise,” said Gabriella Ferroni, Senior Director, Strategic Communications, Delta Dental Plans Association. “For the past 28 years, Delta Dental has tracked Tooth Fairy giving trends to help teach children about caring for their oral health through a trusted partner—the Tooth Fairy. The beloved tradition gives kids a reason to celebrate their healthy smiles.”

Since the poll’s inception in 1998, the average cash gift left by the Tooth Fairy has surged 349% from $1.30 to $5.84 per tooth.

U.S. regional ranking for the average value of a lost tooth

  1. Northeast ($6.45): Led the pack with a 41% year-over-year jump.
  2. West ($5.99): Held steady in second place with a 5% increase from last year.
  3. South ($5.89): Dropped from the top spot in 2025, despite a 3% increase in giving.
  4. Midwest ($5.27): Made a big leap with a 52% year-over-year gain, narrowing the gap with the rest of the country.

The value of a lost tooth and the economy 
Historically, the Original Tooth Fairy Poll® has typically mirrored the economy’s overall direction, tracking with the trends of Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500). In recent years, however, the value of a lost tooth diverged from this pattern. For the first time since 2022, the poll has realigned with market trends. Over the past year, the average value of a single lost tooth increased 17%, in line with a similar 16% increase in the S&P 500 during the same period.
