The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Friday, May 21, 2021

Dear John,

Three letters in the May issue continue the conversation about
disability rights and health care.

Responses To 'Physicians' Perceptions Of People With Disability'

This February, Lisa Iezzoni and coauthors published a paper
aboutphysicians' perceptions of people with disability and their
health care
.

Health Affairs published two response letters to Iezzoni in the May
issue. In the first letter, twelve disability rights organizations
advocate for adoptingrecommendations made by the National Council on
Disability

in 2019 after analysis of health care decision making and reliance on
the quality-adjusted life-year. In the second, Arielle Isaacson and
colleagues share how Harvard Medical School has integrated disability
education into their curriculum
.

In their response to these letters
,
Iezzoni and Eric Campbell applaud ongoing work but reiterate concerns
about the "hidden curriculum" of medical education that reproduces
unconscious biases within the medical community.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Edward Salsberg and Candice Chen write
about graduate medical education positions and physician supply
continuing to increase
.
Also, Danielle Brooks and colleagues explore the term "low-value care.
"

Elevating Voices: Asian American and Pacific Islander American Heritage
Month: Kavita Patel and colleagues in 2015 wrote about the importance of
teaching consumers how to use health insurance
