From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Subsequent to publication of this Forefront article
,
Google and Twitter responded that Health Affairs ads were blocked due to
mention of COVID-19 and not because of the mention of racism.
Both platforms require account-level authorization for a brand to
promote COVID-related content with paid media. We are now approved on
Twitter to advertise as a cause-based organization and approved on
Google to continue to promote COVID-related content via paid ads.
The support from our readers and amplification of our content helped us
get a faster response. Thank you.
Machine Learning And Inequities
In the February issue, Stephanie Gervasi and coauthors highlight
concerns about equity
,
fairness, and bias in the ways in which machine learning models are
developed and used in clinical and business decisions.
In their article, Gervasi and coauthors present a guide to the data
ecosystem used by health insurers and explain how bias can arise along
machine learning pipelines.
They recommend mechanisms for identifying and dealing with bias and
examine challenges and opportunities to increase fairness through
analytics in the health insurance industry.
Check out all Health Affairs' Racism & Health content - including a
video interview with Harriet A. Washington, an interactive StoryMap, and
much more - on our dedicated landing page.
Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, John Westfall and coauthors discuss
the role of primary care
in the identification and ongoing treatment of opioid dependence and
opioid use disorder.
We are launching a new Forefront series on Medicare and Medicaid
Integration. In the first article for the series, Laura Keohane and Ann
Hwang discuss the new proposed rules from CMS
that will affect coverage for Medicare beneficiaries with dual-eligible
special needs plans or Medicare-Medicaid Plans.
We are grateful to Arnold Ventures for supporting this project. We are
also accepting article submissions for the series through August 2022.

Also in Forefront, Paul Ginsburg and Steven Lieberman discuss concerns
with the politics of Medicare Advantage overpayment
.
Katie Keith discusses the February 23rd ruling
that set aside key parts of a recent rule that creates a new federal
independent dispute resolution process.
