The latest Leading To Health column
in Health Affairs highlights a Washington State fire department that
dispatches nurses and social workers to address the underlying health
and social needs of repeat 911 callers.
Every community has what emergency service professionals refer to as 911
high utilizers-a small subset of the population that uses a large
portion of emergency resources.
"Many high utilizers have complex medical and psychosocial needs and
call 911 for nonmedical emergencies," writes Brian Rinker.
To better meet these needs, the fire department in Renton, Washington
has established a nonemergency unit known as FDCARES, which stands for
Fire Department Community Assistance, Referrals, and Education Services.
Mobile integrated health programs such as FDCARES are strategically
better positioned than hospitals or physician groups to provide care and
social services to people in the community by harnessing the
infrastructure of local emergency services.
"The idea is that by addressing the root causes of super utilizers'
super utilization, the program will save fire departments, hospitals,
and taxpayers tons of money," explains Rinker.

Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Pamela Bradley and coauthors argue
that complex clinical laboratory tests can benefit from design controls
.
The authors indicate that, as many modern clinical tests have become
increasingly complex, there is a growing need for a systematic approach
to designing, maintaining, and improving tests.
Kenneth Thorpe and Thomas Johnson discuss how the ongoing effort to deny
or restrict Medicaid coverage
for drugs approved through the FDA's accelerated approval program is
not a change that should be taken lightly, especially without data to
support doing so.
Katie Keith discusses several recent developments in the Affordable Care
Act (ACA)
,
including the Biden administration's withdrawal of the so-called SUNSET
rule and its approval of Virginia's waiver request to operate a
state-based reinsurance program under Section 1332 of the ACA.
