Book Review & Telehealth Letters
The August 2021 issue features a review by Frank Sloan of The U.S.
Healthcare Ecosystem
by Rob Burns. Sloan calls it a "uniquely comprehensive, up-to-date
description of US health care" that provides new insights even for
experts in the field.
While he provides some criticism of the book, particularly for what he
sees as a lack of explanation for certain complex terms and conclusions,
Sloan makes clear in his review that Burn's work is well worth reading
for those studying or researching health care.
Also in the August issue of Health Affairs is discourse surrounding a
March 2021 article by Jorge Rodriguez and colleagues about disparities
in telehealth use
among California patients with limited English proficiency.
In one letter, Denise Payán and Hector Rodriguez build on the research
and identify additional research priorities
to promote telehealth equity in the United States. They emphasize a need
for better data distinguishing video and audio-only visits and funding
for telehealth implementation research in federally qualified health
centers.
In a second letter, Jorge Rodriguez and colleagues reply, agreeing with
Payán and Rodriguez and discussing the need for policies supporting
digital inclusion
,
including technology access and literacy.
Today on Health Affairs Blog, Rena Conti and Fiona Scott Morton
discuss a White House report
issued in June 2021 that sets forth policies to build a resilient supply
of prescription drugs.
David Johnson and coauthors discuss several viable models
for commercial payers to adopt value-based payment for specialty care.
