From Health Affairs
Dear John,
As a reminder, we recently rebranded our
**Health Affairs Blog** to
**Health Affairs Forefront**. Read the latest article here.
Nursing Employment And Education
In the January 2022 issue of Health Affairs, Peter Buerhaus and
coauthors examined health care employment
during the COVID-19 pandemic and found unprecedented declines in the
early months, most intensely in physician offices, outpatient care
centers, and home health care.
While employment in most sectors gradually returned toward prepandemic
levels over the course of 2020, fifteen months into the pandemic, "total
employment in nursing homes remained 13.2 percent lower
than it had been in February 2020."
With an aim to increase the supply of advanced practice nurses
,
particularly in primary care, the Affordable Care Act Graduate Nurse
Education Demonstration provided federal funding to offset the clinical
training costs of advanced practice nurses from 2012 to 2018.
Joshua Porat-Dahlerbruch and coauthors reported that the program was
"associated with a significant average increase of twenty-eight nurse
practitioner graduates and eighty-nine nurse practitioner enrollees per
school of nursing throughout the Demonstration period."
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Richard Gilfillan and coauthors
discuss how Medicare Advantage leaders have an opportunity to move
excess spending
out of health care and into needed social services.
