The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Tuesday, November 16, 2021
Dear John,
Two articles in the November issue discuss opioids.
Opioid Prescription Guidelines & NOWS
In their Health Affairs paper, Tarlise Townsend and coauthors
investigated the implications of the CDC's Guideline for Prescribing
Opioids for Chronic Pain
.
Overall, they found that the guideline was associated with substantial
reductions in dispensing opioids, including a reduction in patients'
rate of receiving at least one opioid prescription.
Sarah Loch and coauthors examined the association of neonatal opioid
withdrawal syndrome
(NOWS) with infant entry into foster care. They found that "an increase
of one NOWS diagnosis per ten births in a county was associated with a
41 percent higher rate...of infant foster care entry" and that rural
counties have higher rates of foster care entry than urban counties.
"This study provides further evidence that the opioid crisis is taking a
toll on maternal and child well-being beyond clinical settings," they
concluded.
Today on Health Affairs Blog, Alexander Pomerantz and coauthors propose
a comprehensive care payment program
that would support collaboration between nursing homes and hospitals.
Soeren Mattke discusses the anatomy and limitations of
cost-effectiveness analysis
and argues that the nature of this particular approach to health
technology assessment has the potential to distort innovation.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Chiquita
Brooks-LaSure and Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS) Director
Daniel Tsai discuss their proactive policy agenda
for CMCS, which focuses on three key areas: Coverage and Access, Equity,
and Innovation and Whole-Person Care.
In a new GrantWatch post, Sophie Wheelock and coauthors write about the
New York State Health Foundation's discussion with staff at New York
City's health department about applying COVID-19 vaccination lessons
to 2021-22 seasonal flu vaccinations.
