Dear John,
A new study assesses physicians' knowledge about their responsibilities
under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Physicians' Knowledge of the ADA
Lisa Iezzoni and coauthors surveyed physicians across the US to examine
the extent to which they understood their obligations to patients with
disabilities
under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), particularly concerning
reasonable accommodations to ensure the provision of equitable care to
patients with disability.
"Across all participants, 35.8 percent reported knowing little or
nothing about their responsibilities under the ADA," Iezzoni and
coauthors reported. They also found that 68.4 percent of participants
believed that they were at risk for an ADA lawsuit because of
accommodation problems.
In February 2021 Iezzoni and coauthors published an article in Health
Affairs on a related topic that garnered significant attention from
policy makers and media. Revisit her paper, "Physicians' Perceptions
Of People With Disability And Their Health Care"
today.
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Kimberly Westrich and Robert Dubois
discuss value allocation
decisions for curative gene therapies.
Rachel Sachs discusses the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services'
(CMS') proposal that monoclonal antibodies
directed against amyloid for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease be
covered for Medicare beneficiaries only under CMS' Coverage with
Evidence Development pathway.
