Friday, September 2, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News
From Health Affairs
Dear John,
On today's episode of This Week, Health Affairs' Leslie Erdelack and
Chris Fleming discuss the Moderna lawsuit against Pfizer
regarding its mRNA technology in relation to the COVID-19 vaccine and
its potential impact on the future of biopharmaceutical markets.
As a reminder, our office will observe Labor Day on Monday, September 5,
and we will not be sending out a newsletter that day. You can expect our
return to your inbox on Tuesday.
Medicare And Medicaid Integration
For several months, Health Affairs Forefront has been publishing
articles as part of a series titled, Medicare and Medicaid Integration
.
Articles in the series feature policy analysis, proposals, and
commentary that inform policies to advance integrated care for those
dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. The series is produced with
the support of Arnold Ventures .
In today's newsletter, we will highlight some of the articles in the
series.
In the first article in the series, Ann Hwang and Laura Keohane discuss
how the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine
Committee on Nursing Home Quality's latest report calls for immediate
action to Improve long-term care
.
In another piece, Sarah Barth and Michael Monson describe how the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services strengthened regulatory
provisions
to enhance dually eligible individuals' experiences with Dual Eligible
Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs), as well as states' ability to see and
monitor quality ratings.
However, many states will need increased capacity and support to take
advantage of the new tools available to them, they argue.
In a third article, Christopher Palmieri and coauthors argue that
integrated Medicare-Medicaid programs
offer a solution to address the challenges facing dually eligible
individuals living with behavioral health conditions.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, William Shrank and Eric Letsinger
discuss how outcomes-based health care financing models
that scale up community-based service provider capacity are a promising
development for addressing health-related social needs.
Rachel Landauer and coauthors discuss how increased systematic screening
and greater transparency are necessary to address rising health-related
social needs but insufficient in supporting a sustainable and equitable
impact on the health outcomes of Medicare beneficiaries.
