Wednesday, February 23, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Dear John,

Health Affairs is seeking an Editor-in-Chief to help develop and launch a new open access journal called Health Affairs Scholar.
Spatial Access To Hospital Services
In the February 2022 issue, Racism & Health, Jan Eberth and coauthors reveal that rural ZIP codes with the largest shares of Black or American Indian/Alaska Native residents are significantly farther from many hospital services than rural ZIP codes with large majorities of White residents.

"Policy levers for reducing inequities in access to hospital services are present at both the state and federal levels," Eberth and coauthors argue.

Their findings are illustrated in an interactive StoryMap to accompany the research, creating a digital map that enables readers to engage with these findings in a new way.

The StoryMap provides a deeper look into the geographical impacts of racism on health care service use.
Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Joseph Kannarkat and coauthors investigate infrastructure innovations that could improve access to health care in rural settings.

The authors investigate examples of frugal innovations in lower-and middle-income countries that could work in the current rural American context, and explore opportunities to encourage the adoption of these innovations.
