Dear John,
The National Academy of Science honored Shekinah A. Fashaw-Walters with
the Heinz Dissertation Award for her dissertation "Inequities in Home
Health Access, Outcomes, and the Impact of Public Reporting."
Read Fashaw-Walters' article "Out Of Reach: Inequities In The Use Of
High-Quality Home Health Agencies
"
which was featured in the Racism and Health
issue of Health
Affairs.
This Week In Forefront
Health Affairs Forefront is the digital front page of health policy.
Today, an article by Katie Keith covers the final 2023 Notice of Benefit
and Payment Parameters
issued by HHS. This is the Biden administration's first full payment
notice and it addresses changes for the 2023 plan year.
Additional articles published on the site this week covered various
issues pertaining to health equity, including telehealth access, public
health data, and opioid prescriptions.
In one article, Nadia Bey discusses how farmworkers should not be left
out of the broader conversation surrounding telehealth
,
which can be an effective way to increase access to primary care for
hard-to-reach populations.
Alonzo Plough and Gail Cristopher argue that US public health leaders
should play an active role in driving multisector collaboration around
public health data sharing
.
The authors explain that in order to address social determinants of
health, officials will have to operationalize them within a
justice-focused data framework.
Rachel Sadoff writes about opioid prescription gaps
faced by Black Americans and the transgender and gender-diverse
community.
Sadoff points out that Black Americans are 22 percent less likely than
their White counterparts to receive pain medication across settings.
Meanwhile, trans and gender-diverse populations are disproportionately
prescribed with opioids.
