Dear John,
A February 2022 Health Affairs paper provides a historical review of
structural racism and health in Washington, D.C.
Structural Racism And Health In D.C.
In an article in the Racism & Health issue, Christopher King and
coauthors provide a historical review of health in Washington, D.C.
-a
city with a legacy of Black plurality.
They explore how structural racism is tied to residential segregation in
Washington, D.C., with social, economic, and political
disenfranchisement of Black residents yielding large health inequities
by race and place.
King and coauthors present a timeline of policies and practices designed
to have differential effects on health care access and outcomes by race,
such as redlining, and those that have had differential effects
regardless of intent, such as hospital closures.
King and several D.C. community leaders convened recently to discuss how
structural racism affects their work in health care. Watch that
conversation here.
Elsewhere In Health Affairs
In an ahead-of-print Eye On Health Reform article
released today, Katie Keith gives an update on happenings around the
Affordable Care Act.
She reports that consumers continue to enroll in Marketplace coverage at
record-breaking numbers and highlights the Biden administration's
notice of benefit and payment parameters rule and other guidance for the
2023 plan year.
"The proposed rule addresses a range of requirements, including
standardized plans, network adequacy, and nondiscrimination," she
explains.
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Trisha Kaundinya discusses how robust
use of the electronic health record
is an opportunity to improve the documentation of disability and
accommodations-and thereby better the quality of care for patients
with disabilities.
Health Affairs' Jane Hiebert-White, Don Metz, and Rob Lott celebrate
