What's New At Health Affairs

This week in Health Affairs Forefront, authors covered topics including
health equity, Medicare Advantage, and inter partes review with drug
patents.

Michael Bailit and Deepti Kanneganti outline four types of health equity
performance measures
.

In providing this typology, the authors aim to help states, insurers,
and providers assess and reduce inequities in health care.

Mariam Krikorian Atkinson and coauthors examine the challenges and
advantages

that rural hospitals have faced during the pandemic.

Based on conversations with emergency management leaders at 12 different
hospitals, the authors glean several lessons for rural hospitals
responding to a crisis.

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
.

these changes mean for patients, payers, providers, and other key health
care stakeholders.
