In March 2023, Health Affairs will publish a cluster of research papers
focused on lessons for public health policy and practice arising from
the COVID-19 pandemic experience in the United States. COVID-19 stressed
the public health system while also demonstrating its importance.
This collection of articles explores trends in the public health
workforce during the pandemic, ways to improve coordination between
public health and medical care systems, strategies for mitigating
community spread of COVID-19 at the local level, and recommendations for
modernizing emergency health powers laws, US laboratory systems, and
public health financial data.

The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Journal Club meeting in March is,
"Surviving The Surge: Non-Urgent Procedures, Intensive Care, And
Mississippi's COVID-19 Waves."
Using Mississippi's hospital discharge data, the authors examined the
decline in elective procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the
health care system complied with emergency orders to preserve resources
for the response.They found a nearly 27 percent decline in intensive
care unit (ICU) admissions for elective procedures during these
interventions, reducing ICU bed occupancy for elective surgeries by 16.8
percent and freeing up an average of eleven ICU beds each day.
On March 16, please join author Thomas Dobbs, Dean of the John D. Bower
School of Population Health at University of Mississippi's Medical
Center, for a detailed discussion of the paper's data, methods, and
policy conclusions. Health Affairs Senior Deputy Editor Sarah Dine will
host.

<[link removed]>"
(September 15, 2022), American University professors Aparna Soni and
Erdal Tekin reviewed research about mass shootings and their effect on
population health. The brief focuses on mass shootings, not on the
broader phenomenon of gun violence.
On March 23, you are invited to join professors Soni and Tekin for an
Insider Lunch & Learn session examining policy interventions to reduce
the population health harms inflicted by mass shootings and areas for
future research. The event will be moderated by Health Affairs Senior
Editor Laura Tollen.
