Thursday, March 24, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News
From Health Affairs

Dear John,

****Health Affairs Pathways

is a unique podcast series that elevates the stories and voices in
health care that might otherwise go unheard, with recent episodes
covering topics including mental health boarding and health care
consolidation.

This podcast is produced by Fellows at the Health Affairs Podcast
Fellowship Program. Health Affairs is accepting applications

for the next cohort of Health Policy Podcast Fellows through March 31.
This upcoming weekend is the last weekend to work on your application.

Medical-Legal Partnership Effects

A Health Affairs article released this month finds reductions in
hospitalizations

among children referred to a primary care-based medical-legal
partnership.

Medical-legal partnerships link physicians and other medical
professionals to legal aid advocates working to address social needs
amenable to legal remedies.

Andrew Beck and coauthors compare the experiences of low-income children
referred to a medical-legal partnership at Cincinnati Children's
Hospital Medical Center with a matched cohort who were not referred.

They found that the median predicted hospitalization rate for children
in the year after referral was 37.9 percent lower if children received
the legal intervention than if they did not.

Beck and coauthors outline the potential implications that improvements
in health via social needs interventions have for clinical care delivery
and financing.

A GrantWatch column in the April 2020 issue covers funders' support of
efforts to integrate health and human services. Revisit it here

Elsewhere At Health Affairs

Today in Health Affairs Forefront, J. Michael McWilliams considers the
future of the Medicare Advantage (MA) program
.
At its current rate of growth, MA is on track to reach 69 percent of the
Medicare population by the end of 2030.

Stefan Wheat and coauthors write about the need to improve recordkeeping
in health care in order to document the impacts of climate change on
public health
.

Elevating Voices: Women's History Month: In her September 2021
Narrative Matters essay, Maria Victoria Bovo, a pediatrician, shares her
experience with the debilitating symptoms of long COVID.

"COVID-19 did not end my life, but it stopped me. It dragged me down
from the high-velocity train on which I was riding. I stood up, fell
down, and stood up again," she writes.
