From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Health Affairs is launching a new podcast next week!
Health Affairs Pathways explores the avenues and alleyways of the health
care system through a variety of storytelling. Our first season is a
six-part series from Lalita Abhyankar, a physician based in San
Francisco, CA. Her series, titled Piecemeal, examines how consolidation
in health care is affecting independent primary care.

Racial Bias In Electronic Health Records
In a new article to be featured in February's theme issue, Racism and
Health, Michael Sun and colleagues used machine learning techniques to
analyze potentially stigmatizing language in the electronic health
records (EHRs)
of patients seen at an urban academic medical center.
They found that Black patients had 2.54 times the adjusted odds of
having one or more negative descriptors, such as "non-adherent" and
"agitated," in the history and physical notes of their EHRs even after
adjusting for sociodemographic and health characteristics.
The researchers also reported that patients with Medicaid or Medicare
insurance had higher adjusted odds of a negative descriptor compared
with patients with private or employer-based insurance.
The upcoming February 2022 theme issue, Racism and Health, will be
released on Monday, February 7.
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Ashley Fox and coauthors argue that
population health surveys should include questions about political
partisanship
to better understand the relationship between political affiliation and
health risks and outcomes.
