Tuesday, February 22, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News
From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Register now for the next
Health Affairs Policy Spotlight
,
happening on February 28, 2022, 3-4 p.m. ET.
Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil will host Meena Seshamani,
deputy administrator and director, Center for Medicare, Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Impacts Of Low-Quality Data
In their article from the Racism & Health
issue of Health Affairs, Stella Yi and coauthors describe poor-quality
data infrastructure and biases
in the health care sector fueled by stereotypes about Asian Americans.
They elucidate how these examples of structural racism both act
independently and reinforce one another to harm health outcomes.
Also in the February 2022 issue, Melanie Sabado-Liwag and coauthors
analyze the role that racism and (neo)colonialism
historically and currently play in the health disparities experienced by
Filipinx/a/o Americans.
They argue that these disparities can be understood as manifestations of
historically exploitative labor experiences, intergenerational trauma,
and the model minority myth, among other factors.
"Because data on Asian Americans remain aggregated, knowledge about
Filipinx/a/o issues goes widely unnoticed," write Sabado-Liwag and
coauthors.
Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Micky Tripathi, national coordinator
for health information technology, explains how implementation of the
21st Century Cures Act
can maximize the potential for a digital health care system to improve
the lives of patients.
Ryan Vega and coauthors from the Department of Veterans Affairs argue
that the Veterans Health Administration
is one of the few health care systems to have the capabilities, scale,
and incentives to solve the most pressing challenges in health care.
Katie Keith discusses the February 4 guidance from the Departments of
Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury on the coverage of
at-home COVID-19 tests
.
Elevating Voices: Black History Month: In a March 2021 article in Health
Affairs, Emmanuel Fulgence Drabo and coauthors use a
social-return-on-investment analysis
to
evaluate an affordable housing program aimed at addressing the social
and environmental determinants affecting community health in Baltimore.
The program generated between $1.30 and $1.92 of social return in the
community for every dollar in yearly operating costs.
