Neel Shah

Neel Shah is an American physician and the Executive Director of Costs of Care. He has proposed an ethical framework for medicine that includes financial harm to patients under the "do no harm" principle of medical ethics.[1] He is known for collecting essays about instances in which inattention to costs has harmed patients — emulating the patient-safety movement's use of anecdotes about sponges left in abdomens or amputations of the wrong limb.[2] He was also featured in a "Doctor and Patient" New York Times column by Pauline Chen for creating the Teaching Value Project, aimed at educating doctors about how their decisions impact what patients pay for care.[3]

In 2014 he was named one of the "40 smartest people in healthcare" by Becker's Hospital Review.[4] He is married to MIT Professor Julie Shah.[5]
