The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Tuesday, June 8, 2021

Dear John,

Today we consider how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted emergency medical
care and psychotropic medication initiation.

Understanding Broader Effects Of The Pandemic

Three papers in the June 2021 edition of Health Affairs expand our
understanding of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic across multiple
areas of health care.

First, Christopher Sun and coauthors examined cardiac arrests in the
early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in Boston. Their findings suggest
that many patients were reluctant to obtain needed emergency care
.

Second, Jonathan Yu and coauthors investigated the decline in emergency
department visits

after a stay-at-home order in the St. Louis metropolitan region in March
2020. Declines occurred across all levels of acuity, with no differences
by patient race and ethnicity.

Third, Ian Nason and coauthors found a significant decline in initiation
of antidepressants, anxiolytics, and antipsychotics

between March 2020 and August 2020, particularly for patients younger
than age eighteen.

Today on A Health Podyssey, Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil interviews Samuel
Edwards about the common characteristics of a primary care practice with
zero burnout
.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Katie Keith discusses the news that the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will make $80 million
available

for navigator entities in the 30 states with a federally facilitated
marketplace for the 2022 plan year.

Also, Jason Shafrin and Rick van der Vegte argue that supply chain
considerations

should be included when assessing a health technology's value.

Elevating Voices: Pride Month: In a Narrative Matters essay from 2017,
Laura Arrowsmith wrote about her mistreatment by a health care provider
when in
the emergency room for complications after a genital reassignment
surgery.
