Meaningful Use measures can be categorized into four distinct "buckets." Adele Allison, National Director of Government Affairs at SuccessEHS, defines the four different marks of Meaningful Use and the health IT goals that go along with each one. She also presents which categories are going to be significant moving forward into Stage 2, as well as how the categories will impact providers and reimbursement reform.

The Marketplace - Insurance Exchanges and ProvidersGreenway Health
Exploring coverage options through the Marketplace a/k/a Health Insurance Exchange (HIX) is among a growing lexicon of terms for governmental and insurance stakeholders. Intended to provide the consumer with an intuitive way to shop coverage with built-in protections, HIX open enrollment launches Oct. 1, 2013 and offers assistance with coverage choices and comparisons, calculation of costs, and education on public program options. Some HIXs will be run by state governments while others will be administered wholly or in partnership with the federal government. Explore the four exchange tiers, what constitutes "essential benefits" and "essential community providers," the role consumer assistants such as navigators in facilitating coverage for each American, and what providers and practices should be doing today to prepare. Review the basic functions of the HIX and the available subsidies for individuals and families. Regulations on Medicaid eligibility expansion will also be covered, as well as the impact on adult coverage and the future HIX milestones.

HIPAAMIPPATRHCAARRAPPACA Era: Connecting the Health Care Legislation DotsGreenway Health
Are you having trouble navigating through the murky waters of health care legislation? Fear not! We have broken down the complexities of the HIPAAMIPPATRHCAARRAPPACA Era, provided an illustration of each initiative in action, and explained what your IT vendor should be doing to help you comply with today's health care legislation.
Reform of the U.S. health care system is at hand. On June 28, 2012, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) upheld one of the most historic health care laws in the U.S. since the establishment of the Medicare and Medicaid programs in 1965 under President Lyndon Johnson—the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Last year, 21.4 cents of every Federal income tax dollar received went to Medicare and health care spending, second only to the military in U.S. expenditures. According to the last report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issued in March 2012, ACA will cost $1.76 trillion (net cost of $1.1 trillion) to fully implement between now and 2022. That amount represents significant provisions to fuel reform.
Prior to ACA, use of electronic health records (EHR) was triggered under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The HITECH component of this law is specifically designed to reward and accelerate interoperable EHR adoption by hospitals and providers through an incentive program known as Meaningful Use.
Between ARRA and ACA, delivery of health care in America will look very different in the next five years. The following numbers and metrics are brought to you by SuccessEHS and tell the tale of health care transformation. Enjoy!
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
