- In their new Forefront article, Purva Rawal, Doug Jacobs, Pauline Lapin, John Pilotte, Sarah Fogler, Ryan Howe, Meena Seshamani, and Elizabeth Fowler from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) discuss how recent proposed changes to the Medicare Shared Savings Program and the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule demonstrate how CMS intends to scale Innovation Center findings in the Medicare program. "The evidence supporting the benefits of primary care is clear: Access to high-quality advanced primary care is closely linked to better health outcomes, lower rates of mortality, and lower system spending, including reductions in emergency department, admissions, and inpatient use that may improve the affordability of health care services. However, improved primary care financing is necessary to drive growth in accountable care and transform care delivery that can improve quality and outcomes, and narrow health disparities. The 2021 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s (NASEM) report on the future of primary care called for hybrid payment approaches that provide partial fee-for-service and population-based payments, which Innovation Center models have also shown to support team-based care. Improved financing for primary care continues to be a focus for experts, including the recently established NASEM Standing Committee on Primary Care. Despite this strong evidence, approximately 45 percent of primary care practices are not in value-based programs or models that provide hybrid payment or supports to build advanced primary care. Reasons for this lag include the need for more support to providers to make this transition and the potential for predictable revenue from fee-for-service payments than that provided through value-based payment models that may have financial or performance-based risk."

- In a new review for Health Affairs Reads, Senior Editor Michael S. Gerber reviews "On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service” by Dr. Anthony Fauci, which provides a history of the last half-century of infectious disease public health from Fauci’s vantage. "Anyone looking for intense moments of introspection or insights into his personal life from this book will be disappointed—he mentions his first marriage almost in passing, pointing out that it didn’t survive the countless hours he was spending at work. He briefly describes his courtship of his second wife, whom he met when she started as a nurse at NIH treating AIDS patients and has been married to for nearly four decades. Instead, On Call reads more like a history of the last half-century of infectious disease public health." Read the full #HAReads review here: https://bit.ly/47GY6vG
- In their new Forefront article, Sean McBride, Barak Richman, and Carmel Shachar from the Harvard Law School Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation, Duke University and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center discuss how significant problems can arise when hospital leaders overestimate regulatory risks and underappreciate the frequent ambiguities that exist in the legal rules that govern hospital administration. "We contend that this change in the legal landscape is an opportunity for general counsels to reconsider how they calculate risk, if they haven’t already. As agency power ebbs, regulatory risk declines, especially when agency instructions are ambiguous and their ability to compel compliance questionable. With the federal courts’ new posture, hospitals can now prioritize fixing the occasionally inefficient workflows that resulted from what we might now regard as overly conservative views of what compliance required."

- In her new Forefront article, Lauren M. Osborne from Weill Cornell Medicine asks: What we can do to move the needle for perinatal mental health, so that future issues of Health Affairs may be able to point more toward hope for the future, and less toward the dismal present? "So where does that leave us? The US has the highest rate of maternal mortality among developed countries, with a racial disparity that is 3 to 1 (and in some places, such as New York City, as high as 9 to 1). Perinatal mental health conditions, including substance use, are the number-one complication of childbirth and the number-one cause of pregnancy-related death. Perhaps I should say that again—the number-one cause. Why are we as a society so slow to pick up on this and so slow to consider the effect this has on our society for generations to come? In The New York Times this summer, I read back-to-back articles puzzling over why young people, especially young women, are increasingly reluctant to have children. One article pointed out that while 64 percent of young women actively do not want children, only 50 percent of men have that response. Policies in this country that disproportionately punish women for having children (lack of parental leave, lack of affordable childcare) along with women’s wariness about the likelihood of their partners being willing to share the care burden are making motherhood increasingly unpalatable. The new generation’s emphasis on mental health and well-being is a part of this. Birthing individuals—and their partners—are increasingly afraid of the mental and emotional toll of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period."

- In his new Forefront article, Zachary Baron of the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law discusses how the debates over broker misconduct and potential fraud in Marketplace enrollment will continue for the foreseeable future, potentially spilling over into broader fights about ACA coverage. "Already, critics of the ACA (a number of whom have long supported expanding the role of companies like TrueCoverage and Benefitalign) are using these recent developments to support efforts to roll back the enhanced ACA premium tax credits (slated to expire at the end of 2025 currently) and impose additional requirements on consumers that could make it harder for them to enroll in Marketplace health coverage. Such critics argue that the premium tax credit enhancements and lack of “program integrity” measures have resulted in outsized federal spending. However, analysis of Marketplace enrollment shows that states with the most growth in ACA Marketplace enrollment in recent years have not expanded their Medicaid programs (boosting enrollment among low-income people who can qualify for low-cost private coverage). And other experts note that the cost of subsidized Marketplace coverage in comparison to Medicaid and employer-sponsored insurance “suggest a relatively reasonable public cost of coverage” for the enhanced premium tax credits."

- In their new Forefront article, Yarden S. Fraiman, DeWayne M. Pursley, Megan Sandel, Blair W. Weikel, Michelle A. Williams, and Sunah S. Hwang from Harvard Medical School, Boston Medical Center (BMC), and University of Colorado School of Medicine discuss how Personal Conflict of Interest disclosure offers a promising approach whereby authors acknowledge their own personal identities to promote transparency and accountability through systemic policy change. "All research is dependent on human choices and experiences; researchers select their question of interest, data collection approaches and tools, conceptual frameworks, study recruitment approaches, study sites, and the characteristics of study subjects eligible to participate in studies. Even the variables and factors that researchers include in their models can have monumental effects on the scientific findings and conclusions." Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/4eCLmIW
