From Health Affairs
Dear John,
In case you missed it, we just announced a new Policy Spotlight
<[link removed]>
event on Tuesday, November 1 featuring Robert Otto Valdez, the new
director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality at the US
Department of Health and Human Services. The event will be open to all.
Resource Allocation
A large problem associated with the COVID-19 pandemic was hospital
supply shortages when large numbers of patients in the US were infected
at the same time. During spikes, hospitals faced acute shortages of
ventilators, beds, medications, and other critical resources.
While it is well known that people with disabilities face barriers to
accessing health care, even in times when hospital resources are
plentiful, less is known about how people with disabilities may be
affected in times of shortage.
Ari Ne'eman and coauthors surveyed a nationally representative sample
of US adults to examine how a range of patient characteristics affect
respondents' willingness to allocate a ventilator between two patients
<[link removed]>
with equal likelihood of short-term survival.
In their survey, the authors find that respondents were 5.5 percentage
points less likely to allocate a ventilator to a patient with a
disability than to a nondisabled patient.
Disability bias was also correlated with older age cohorts and higher
education levels of respondents.
The authors suggest that their findings highlight the importance of
expanding bias mitigation efforts in health policy making, especially in
conditions of scarcity.
