For decades, the high level and growth rate of U.S. health spending have
raised concerns about our continued ability to pay for other goods and
services. In addition, comparisons to health care spending in other
developed nations with equal or better health outcomes lead us to ask
whether we could be doing better for our money.

Questions such as these led Health Affairs to launch a first-of-its kind
project - the Health Affairs Council on Health Care Spending and Value
<[link removed]>.
This non-partisan, multi-disciplinary, expert working group, chaired by
William H. Frist and Margaret A. Hamburg, was charged with recommending
ways that the US can take a deliberate approach to moderating health
care spending growth while maximizing value.

Please join Health Affairs on Friday, February 3, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm
Eastern for a special forum exploring the recommendations of the Council
on Health Care Spending and Value, focusing on four broad "levers" for
moderating health care spending and growth:

* Administrative streamlining;

* Price regulation and supports for competition;

* Spending growth targets; and,

* Value-based payment.

The forum will feature commentary from:

* Council Co-Chairs William H. Frist and Margaret A. Hamburg;

* Council Members David M. Cutler, Mark V. Pauly, John M. Colmers, and
Jennifer L. Kowalski;

* Additional experts Margaret E. (Peggy) O'Kane, Emilio Varanini,
Debra J. Lipson, and Hoangmai H. Pham

Date: Friday, February 3, 2023
Time: 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Journal Club meeting in February
is, "The Role Of Real Estate Investment Trusts In Staffing US Nursing
Homes
<[link removed]>."

The authors created a novel database of real estate investment trust
(REIT) investments in US nursing homes and combined it with Medicare
cost data from the period 2013-19 to examine the effect increased REIT
investment in nursing homes on staffing hours of licensed practical
nurses, certified nursing assistants and registered nurses in years 2
and 3 after an initial investment.

On February 16, please join author Robert Tyler Braun of Weill Cornell
Medical School, for a detailed discussion of the paper's data,
methods, and policy conclusions. Health Affairs Senior Editor Kathleen
Haddad will host.

Date: Thursday, February 16, 2023
Time: 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
