Health Affairs
Dear John,
In recognition of the upcoming Juneteenth holiday, Health Affairs is
coming together as a community to acknowledge and reflect on the history
of racism in US medicine and research.
Join us on Friday, June 17, at 3:00 PM ET/12:00 PM PT for a virtual
watch party
of the Telly Award-winning video: "Racism & Health In US Medicine, A
Conversation with Harriet A. Washington."
This featured video was released with Health Affairs' February 2022
Issue on Racism & Health
.
Interstate Telehealth
In their June 2022 article, Juan Andino and coauthors assess trends in
interstate telehealth uptake
by Medicare beneficiaries between 2017-20 due to COVID-19-related
regulatory changes.
The authors find that the volume of interstate telehealth use increased
from about 17,000 services in the first quarter of 2020 to almost
100,000 services in the fourth, but remained a relatively small share of
all outpatient and telehealth visits.
The authors also indicate that out-of-state telehealth is primarily used
for continuity of care rather than the acquisition of new patients, and
that a higher percentage of rural patients used both out-of-state
in-person and telehealth services compared with their nonrural
counterparts.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Sarita Mohanty and Terry Fulmer
discuss how person-driven outcome measures offer solutions
that may help address a multitude of health care's more pressing
issues.
Cindy Mann and coauthors write that the Biden administration has the
opportunity to think comprehensively about whether budget neutrality
requirements advance innovation in Medicaid
,
as the policy is not prescribed either by law or regulation.
Health Affairs, as a nonprofit, is supported by a combination of grant
funding and subscriptions. Your support
allows us to continue providing nonpartisan voices in today's health
policy conversations through our free digital publication, Forefront.
