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.
