Thursday, June 30, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From
Health Affairs
Dear John,
Health Affairs is publishing a theme issue on disability and health
in October 2022. Content will include original research, analyses, and
commentaries that provides a multidimensional perspective on disability
and health.
As part of Health Affairs' commitment to supporting and raising
awareness of disabilities and health, we will launch a video component,
as well as unique artwork and digital assets, alongside the research to
set the foundation of the issue.
We invite participants to submit their responses
to the proposals for video production and artwork and digital assets by
July 15.
Nursing Homes
As the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed, nursing home residents are
particularly vulnerable to harm.
In their Age-Friendly Health article in this month's Health Affairs,
Michael Wasserman and Tamara Konetzka argue that effective responses to
pandemics
or natural disasters are rooted not only in providers' compliance with
regulations but also in broader system preparedness.
The authors explain that these broader systems arise from stronger
nursing home administration, managerial accountability, and integration
into community disaster planning.
"The evidence makes clear the need to rethink the current approach to
protecting nursing home residents during disasters," they write.
The authors contend that both improving leadership in nursing homes and
greater integration of nursing homes into public health disaster
planning are necessary to improve the fate of disaster-stricken nursing
home residents.

Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Sean Cavanaugh and coauthors argue
that CMS can achieve its ambitious goal
of connecting 100 percent of original Medicare members to an accountable
care relationship by 2030, but it will take urgent and specific action
on several fronts.
Elevating Voices: Pride Month: Kevin Nguyen and colleagues wrote in
their 2018 Health Affairs paper that although disparities in access to
care between lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) and straight adults have
narrowed in the post-Affordable Care Act era, LGB adults still report
having significantly more bad mental health days
relative to their straight peers.
