Dear John,
As we bring 2023 to a close, we are revisiting a few of our favorite episodes of A Health Podyssey.
This week, we highlighted an episode from August 2023 featuring Chip Kahn from the Federation of American Hospitals discussing a paper in which he and coauthors argue that CMS hospital value-based programs ([link removed] ) should be refined to reduce health disparities and improve outcomes.

The Health Justice Policy Tracker
In the December issue of Health Affairs, Malvikha Manoj of Johns Hopkins University and her team of coauthors describe their COVID-19 Health Policy Justice Tracker ([link removed] ) , a tracker designed to assess COVID-19 policies with a health justice lens.
The tracker accounts for national policies established between March 11, 2020, and December 31, 2020, when the first mRNA vaccines were authorized for emergency use and for priority groups.
The tracker categorizes these policies into four domains: health, social, financial, and “other.”
Manoj and coauthors specifically focus on the effects of these policies on six vulnerable population groups: children, the elderly, people with disabilities, migrant workers, incarcerated people, and people who were refugees or were seeking political asylum.
They find that of the 610 policies identified by the tracker, most targeted children and the elderly, and financial policies accounted for the majority of policies.
The authors conclude that policy makers and researchers could use the tracker to inform policy development aimed at advancing health justice.
