New August Issue
This month’s issue of Health Affairs features original research about state-level health care spending, payment rates for dialysis, Medicaid waivers, the health care workforce, global health systems, social determinants of health, and more.

In particular, a number of articles cover the topic of temporary licenses.

Ann Nguyen and coauthors examine how New Jersey's COVID-19 Temporary Emergency Reciprocity Licensure Program impacted workforce supply, and find that temporary licenses can serve as a short-term solution to mitigate health care workforce shortages.

The paper by Nguyen and coauthors inspired a number of perspective pieces about licensure programs as well.

In related Perspectives, Brendan Carr and Nicholas Gavin note that New
Jersey’s temporary licensure program reveals a need to consider surge capacity, to have a broadened understanding of access, and to maintain local care priorities.

Bianca Frogner argues that states should move toward uniform licensure requirements to ensure continuity of care and make temporary licensure programs permanent.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
This week in Forefront, authors cover topics like pediatric "off-label" medications, Georgia's response to the 1332 waiver suspension, and Long COVID research.

Theresa Kudlick argues that the public should know that what pediatric practitioners do is evidence-based even when ethical or financial concerns prevent the clinical trials required for full FDA approval.

Katie Keith discusses Georgia's response to warnings from the Departments of Health and Human Services and Treasury that the Georgia Access Model—a broad waiver under Section 1332 of the Affordable Care Act—was at risk of being suspended.

Rachel Levine and colleagues at the Department of Health and Human Services and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration issue a call to action on Long COVID research as part of a National Research Action Plan on Long COVID.

With your support we can continue to offer communitywide access to the industry-leading perspectives featured every day on Forefront.
