- Despite polling consistently showing that voters are deeply concerned about medical care and its costs, neither Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris is offering a sweeping vision of health care reform. (author introduction)November 2024Health Reform
- Most agree health disparities are a moral problem. Yet there are disagreements about how to reduce them. Some believe that in health systems, equity and efficiency are incompatible, requiring stark and painful tradeoffs. Others, myself included, believe that achieving equitable health outcomes can, in fact, be accomplished by improving efficiency. The existing structure of the US…May 2023Health Reform
- The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated longstanding racial disparities in health in the United States and highlighted the need to address inequities across a range of health system functions.

We looked at how eight high-income countries (Australia,…September 2022Health Reform

- The COVID-19 pandemic amplified some of the undeniable and unacceptable inequities in our society, and it finally feels like there is meaningful momentum to address the injustice of health inequities. Although we, the co-authors of this blog, welcome this incredibly important collective action to enhance health equity, as disabled people ourselves, we fear that current equity-focused work largely…April 2022Advocacy, Health Reform
- There’s a lot to fix about America’s broken systems. One of the most important is healthcare. In the ongoing fight for racial justice, we must call on those in power to center the fight for equity around health. For too long, our country’s racist infrastructure has overburdened the physical and mental health of our communities. Without access to quality healthcare, people of color will not be…April 2022Advocacy, Health Reform
- Medical-legal partnerships effectively mitigate some social determinants of health impacting pediatric populations, reducing hospitalizations by over a third, according to the latest data in Health Affairs emailed to journalists.

- The private practice of psychiatry is in slow decline, and collaborative care will be its replacement. This is an inevitable result of the reality that there are too few psychiatrists being trained to cover the psychiatric needs of a growing population; increased rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders across the population; and reduced stigma, which previously served as a…December 2021Mental/Behavioral Health, Health Reform
- Artificial intelligence (AI) holds great promise for improving health care and public health. By leveraging and processing large amounts of data at far greater speeds than humans, AI can generate predictions that can inform policy or treatment decisions. But as predictive algorithms in medicine and public health increase and the fields rely on them more, policymakers, data scientists, ethicists,…November 2021Health Reform
- Come October, the maximum benefit levels in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly the Food Stamp Program) will be based on the market basket costs of the 2021 Thrifty Food Plan. The result will be an increase of 21 percent — about 40 cents per person per meal — in the maximum SNAP benefit over the pre-pandemic amount. Because the 21 percent increase will go into effect at…August 2021Health Reform
- Health care is at a junction, a point where artificial intelligence tools are being introduced to all areas of the space. This introduction comes with great expectations: AI has the potential to greatly improve existing technologies, sharpen personalized medicines, and, with an influx of big data, benefit historically underserved populations.But in order to do those things, the health care…June 2021Health Reform
- Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to drastically improve patient outcomes. AI utilizes algorithms to assess data from the world, make a representation of that data, and use that information to make an inference. From handling administrative tasks to actively diagnosing disease, AI could make treatment faster and more effective in clinical settings, especially as technology continues…March 2021Health Reform
- Over the ten years of the Building Healthy Communities initiative (BHC), The California Endowment (TCE) cycled through multiple outcome frameworks as the terrain of the BHC work became more complex. Does that mean that TCE had no idea what we were doing? Or was the repeated swapping of one framework for another, a sign that we became a learning organization that was open to emergence, evolution,…January 2021Health Reform, Social Environment
- As health researchers, we’re always looking for fresh approaches to ensure our work is relevant and useful to patients and their health care providers. One way we’ve tried to increase the relevance of our health-related research is by engaging with patients and communities as partners. A growing body of evidence shows that patients’ engagement can improve the feasibility, acceptability, and…September 2020Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Health Reform
- The National Quality Forum and several collaborators launched the National Quality Task Force in late 2018 to analyze the progress of the modern quality movement today and recommend a path forward. Despite impressive gains, notable shortcomings persist in normalizing consistent, high-value, person-centered care. What is primarily missing is not progress in measurement, but progress in results.…May 2020Health Reform
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has described oral health disparities in the United States as “profound.” Your race, socioeconomic status, gender or where you live are all related to your risk of having untreated tooth decay, periodontitis and other oral health problems.
