From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Today, we are launching a new podcast,Health Affairs Pathways
,
which explores the avenues and alleyways of the health care system
through a variety of storytelling techniques. Listen to the first
episode of the first mini-series, " Piecemeal
."
Stillbirth Prevention
In her Narrative Matters essay, Marny Smith writes about working to
import stillbirth prevention policies
from abroad after her own experience of having a stillborn son at
thirty-six weeks.
While her obstetrician said that there was nothing that could have been
done to prevent the stillbirth, Smith felt that wasn't necessarily
true.
"With a better standard of care-one that is not so insufficient that
thousands upon thousands of babies die every year-it's possible that
Heath, and many other babies like him, would have lived," she writes.
"Why are we accepting deaths that we should actively be trying to
prevent?"
"While the US is badly lagging in addressing the problem of
stillbirths, other countries are addressing it with rational fixes,"
Smith explains, citing successful policies implemented in Scotland.
Listen to Smith
read her essay on the Narrative Matters podcast
.
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Joia Mukherjee and coauthors posit
that equitable vaccine distribution
requires collective action from wealthy nations to support low-income
countries.
Jeroen Jansen and coauthors discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has
highlighted common areas of uncertainty
associated with evaluating the clinical and economic value of novel
interventions.
In GrantWatch, Jai Kumar and coauthors say that The Duke Endowment and
CaroNova have launched an accelerator program
to hasten adoption of the Home Hospital model in North and South
Carolina.
