Wednesday, July 6, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From
Health Affairs
Dear John,
Health Affairs recently earned its highest-ever Journal Impact Factor
of
9.048, according to the recently released Journal Citation Reports®
(JCR) 2022 from Clarivate.
This is a 44 percent increase from Health Affairs' 2021 Journal Impact
Factor. The journal also earned the No. 1 ranking in the Health Policy
And Services category. Read more
about the research that affected this new ranking.
Diabetes And Fragmented Policy
The US has made significant advances in uncovering how to better prevent
and manage type 2 diabetes. Despite these gains, the country is
experiencing a rapid increase in cases.
This increase and the burden of its effects are disproportionately
concentrated in Black, Hispanic, and Native populations and the
geographic South.
In the July 2022 issue of Health Affairs, Puneet Kaur Chehal and
coauthors explore the detrimental role of fragmentation
in the inequities seen in the contemporary type 2 diabetes landscape.
Fragmentation in health policy and governance, payers and reimbursement
design, and service delivery are cited as issues of greatest concern.
To remedy the fragmented and decentralized health system, the authors
recommend legislating coverage for evidence-based services from the top,
aligning incentives with high-value (as opposed to high-volume)
services, and promoting both continuity and quality of care through
improved information management.
Chehal and coauthors conclude that, "There is evidence that these
advances, taken together, support a data-driven, coordinated, population
health-focused agenda to lower diabetes burdens and inequities."

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Jason Levitis and Sabrina Corlette
argue that delaying legislation to extend the premium tax credit
expansions
from the American Rescue Plan's health insurance subsidies will raise
premiums and reduce coverage.
Melissa Majerol and Dora Lynn Hughes discuss the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center's recent review of three
existing experimental payment and service delivery models
to determine whether implicit bias may be present.
Sean Duffy and Sachin Jain argue that it's time to liberate the
billing system
and
reimbursement models from the restrictions of synchronous interactions
in specific "places of service" and redefine what constitutes "a
visit."
Katie Keith discusses the Supreme Court decisions
from the recently completed term that focus on the constitutional right
to an abortion, the methodology for Medicare disproportionate share
hospital payments, and climate change.
