The centerpiece of this month's Journal Club meeting on March 16 is,
"Surviving The Surge: Non-Urgent Procedures, Intensive Care, And
Mississippi's COVID-19 Waves
<[link removed]>"
by Thomas Dobbs and coauthors.
Thomas Dobbs, former state health officer of the Mississippi Department
of Health and state incident commander during the COVID-19 pandemic, and
current Dean of the John D. Bower School of Population Health
<[link removed]> at University of
Mississippi's Medical Center, will join Health Affairs Senior Deputy
Editor Sarah Dine for a detailed discussion of the paper's data,
methods, and policy conclusions.
Using Mississippi's hospital discharge data, the research examines 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.
Dobbs and coauthors 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.
Date: Thursday, March 16, 2023
Time: 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

In a recent Health Affairs Health Policy Brief, "Mass Shootings In The
United States: Population Health Impacts And Policy Levers
<[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.
Date: Thursday, March 23, 2023
Time: 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
