The document discusses how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) improved insurance coverage and access to care for children with pre-existing conditions. It finds that after the ACA, adolescents (12-17 years) with chronic health conditions were less likely to be uninsured or delay/forgo care due to cost. However, similar improvements were not seen for younger children. This represents an early estimate as the 2010 ACA mandate lacked community rating provisions to limit premium costs for families of chronically ill children.

GWAHU: Health Reform -- Where Are We Now?

This document summarizes public opinion and analysis surrounding the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or "Obamacare". [1] Most Americans believe the ACA will increase taxes, the federal deficit, health care costs and premiums while decreasing quality. [2] The ACA faces widespread pushback from states resisting implementation and individuals concerned about lost choices and higher costs. [3] Studies show the law is failing to meet its goals of expanding coverage and lowering costs. Significant changes to the law seem inevitable as public opposition grows.

Building Your Data ToolBox: Current Data Tools and How to Use Them

The document discusses several data tools that can be used to analyze patient and community health data including the UDS Service Area Mapper, PRIME Registry, PHAsT, and UDSMapper.org. It describes how these tools can be used to map physician service areas, identify disease and outcome clusters, incorporate social determinant data, and facilitate partnerships between healthcare organizations and public health to improve population and community health. The final page recommends coordination across sectors to align measurement efforts and maximize the impact of data on policy development.

Wisconsin’s BadgerCare Plus Coverage Expansion: Early Evaluation Results

Wisconsin expanded its BadgerCare Plus (BC+) program in 2008 with three main components: eligibility expansion, administrative simplification, and outreach efforts. An evaluation found large enrollment increases among children and parents, exceeding projections. The majority of new enrollees were already eligible. Auto-enrollment of eligible children was effective. Exits increased initially but are leveling off. While the expansion was successful, officials are concerned about rising costs. The evaluation suggests eligibility expansions coupled with simplification and outreach can increase participation, and auto-enrollment is promising for enrolling newly eligible populations.

June 8, 2013 CAPG Presentation--Medicare Advantage

The document discusses Medicare Advantage plans as an overlooked cornerstone of healthcare reform. It provides the following key points: - Medicare Advantage plans allow beneficiaries to enroll in private health plans that provide all Medicare benefits, often including prescription drug and additional services. Over a quarter of Medicare beneficiaries have voluntarily enrolled in these plans. - Medicare Advantage plans help control costs. Spending on the Medicare prescription drug benefit declined by nearly 40% compared to initial estimates, and average monthly drug premiums are far below what was originally forecast. - Changing Medicare to provide subsidies to purchase approved private plans, as Medicare Advantage does, could help address the program's long-term financial challenges as the number of beneficiaries increases rapidly

The Rules May Be Changing but the Games Is the Same

The proposed federal budget would significantly cut funding to major public health agencies and programs like the CDC, NIH, Medicaid, and EPA. The CDC budget would be cut by 17% which a former CDC director said would force them to fight epidemics and health threats with both hands tied behind their back while wearing a blindfold. The budget also cuts Medicaid by $800 billion over 10 years which could impact access to care. Several state marketplaces also proposed substantial premium increases for plans purchased under the Affordable Care Act.

The future of healthcare and big data

Charles Barnett

- Healthcare spending in the US is concentrated among a small portion of the population and must be reduced to control costs. Chronic conditions are a major driver of spending and will continue growing. - There is an explosion of healthcare data from a variety of sources, but most of this data is unstructured and difficult for computers to interpret. Leveraging this data through analytics could provide insights to improve care and reduce costs. - Continuous care that extends beyond traditional clinical settings will be needed to effectively manage chronic conditions, which account for most US healthcare costs and 157 million Americans by 2020. Big and small data analytics that incorporate lifestyle, behavioral and socioeconomic factors may help with continuous care and population health management.

Medullan

Presented at the PanagoraPharma Clinical Trials & IoT Forum, November 7, 2016. Sensor technology and connected devices promise a wealth of real-world data for clinical trials without participants seemingly needing to effort. But it’s wrong to conflate the notion of passive data collection with passive patient behavior. Trial subjects need to accept sensor technology and allow it into their lives. Successful trials using IoT connected devices require renewed focus on the user experience, considering how patients, many who may be digitally naïve, adopt and use connected devices. Even when data is collected passively, IoT trials require participants to be engaged, which has significant implications for the design of trials.

HAS 22 Day 2: Healthcare Analytics’ Biggest Party Wraps Up

Connected Care and the Patient Experience

Nick van Terheyden

Patients’ own expectations for technology are growing and they have shared that digital technologies need to become more integral in the care delivery process. In the U.S., nearly half of Americans would opt for online capabilities vs. handling over the phone, such as getting lab test results, filling out paperwork ahead of a doctor’s appointment, accessing their medical records, and filling prescriptions. Given the increasing desire for a tech-driven care experience, patients are helping to spur technology adoption by their providers. As the population ages, technology adoption and information exchange within the long term and post-acute care settings becomes increasingly more important. How can post-acute care agencies overcome challenges of limited resources (financial and workforce) to bring patient care delivery into the 21st century? Patients who take prescription medications for chronic conditions are also feeling the pain from a lack of tech-adoption when their doctors typically don’t offer them access to online condition management tools or make themselves available online or via email for questions. Dr. Van Terheyden will discuss what needs to happen to break down these barriers.
