DataBrief No. 25: Service Utilization Functional Impairment and Chronic Cond...
Seniors with multiple chronic conditions and functional impairments were nearly twice as likely to have an inpatient hospital stay in 2006 compared to those with chronic conditions alone. Specifically, 39% of seniors with chronic conditions and functional impairments had at least one inpatient hospital stay that year compared to 15% of seniors with chronic conditions alone. Similarly, among seniors with five or more chronic conditions, 43% of those with functional impairments had an inpatient stay versus 27% of those without functional impairments. This suggests that the presence of disabilities is more closely linked to higher health care utilization than chronic conditions alone.

NCCS.pdf
NCCS represents millions of cancer patients and survivors in the United States. However, not all those diagnosed with cancer have equal outcomes, which vary significantly based on factors like race, socioeconomic status, health insurance, and location. According to researchers, a quarter of the 600,000 annual cancer deaths in the US could be prevented if everyone had equal access to prevention, screening, and treatment. NCCS works on policy efforts to address health inequities and reduce disparities, though solutions are complex as many factors leading to inequity are deeply rooted in social determinants of health and systemic barriers. The Affordable Care Act has helped reduce disparities in access and mortality compared to states that did not expand Medicaid.

Pharmacists Focus on Oncology
A bachelor of science pharmacology graduate from St. John's University, Ellen Scharaga works as an operational consultant for Alegria Specialty Pharmacy. In her role, she assists the institution in developing and delivering innovative medication for chronic conditions. Passionate about the pharmaceutical sciences, Ellen Scharaga is a member of several groups including the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, the Pharmaceutical Society of New York, and the Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association. The latter has partnered with Medscape to promote advocacy and education, coalescing resources related to hematology and oncology.
An oncology pharmacist institutes measures to ensure patient safety, accuracy, clinical appropriateness, and safe handling of cancer medication in accordance with best practices. To provide holistic attendance to the patient, the pharmacist teams up with other cancer care team members to develop a therapy plan after assessment and ensure all measures and activities optimize the patient's care. Most importantly, the pharmacist provides drug-related education to the patient and the medical colleagues. That is how the partnership between HOPA and Medscape Oncology education came to fruition.
Medscape is a central resource for the latest medical news, drug and disease information, expert insights and opinions, and education for medical professions globally. The partnership with HOPA, aptly named Pharmacists Focus on Oncology, features interactive activities to educate specialist pharmacists in the hematology and oncology field, and others in the broader categories. The resources include advocacy, education, and a library, which are all accessed free of charge. The library comprises professional tools, COVID-19 resources, journals, and patient education materials to accord patients easy access to materials about the condition, including oral chemotherapy, free coursework, and resources for patients and their partners and caregivers.

CSC Insight into Patient Access to Care in Cancer
The document summarizes key findings from a survey of 692 cancer patients and their families about access to care. It finds that while most patients had health insurance, many did not receive recommended social/emotional support services or referrals to such services. Over 20% reported delays in care and nearly 20% felt they did not have adequate time with providers. Only 34% discussed costs of treatment with providers. Nearly half paid more for care in the past year due to insurance premiums, deductibles, and co-pays. Over a third were seriously concerned about out-of-pocket costs and bankruptcy from medical expenses. The survey aimed to understand challenges patients face in accessing comprehensive cancer care.
Heritage Healthcare
Heritage Healthcare:-
Legacy healthcare refers to the traditional model of healthcare that has been in vogue for many years. It is characterized by a fee-for-service payment model, where healthcare providers are reimbursed for each service they provide to patients. This model has been a foundation of the US healthcare system for many years, but it has faced increasing criticism for its high costs and inefficiencies. In this essay, we'll explore the history, challenges, and possible solutions to legacy healthcare.
History of Legacy Healthcare
Legacy healthcare emerged in the United States in the early 20th century. At the time, health care was largely provided by individual physicians and hospitals, and patients paid for services out of pocket. However, with the rise of employer-sponsored health insurance during World War II, a new payment model emerged. This model was based on a fee-for-service system, where healthcare providers were reimbursed for each service they provided to patients. The system was designed to encourage healthcare providers to provide more services, with the assumption that more services would lead to better health outcomes.
Over the past few years, the fee-for-service model has become deeply ingrained in the US healthcare system. It has been the foundation of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which provide healthcare for millions of Americans. However, as the cost of health care continues to rise, the limits of this model are becoming increasingly apparent.
Challenges of Legacy Healthcare
One of the main challenges of legacy healthcare is its high cost. The fee-for-service model incentivizes healthcare providers to provide more services, whether those services are truly needed or not. This has given rise to a phenomenon known as overuse, where patients receive more tests, procedures and treatments than they actually need. This not only increases the cost of health care but can also cause harm to patients. For example, unnecessary tests and procedures can expose patients to radiation and other risks.
Another challenge of legacy healthcare is its fragmentation. The fee-for-service model encourages healthcare providers to work independently of each other, rather than collaborating to provide coordinated care. This can lead to a lack of communication between healthcare providers, resulting in duplication of services and missed opportunities to meet the health needs of patients. Fragmentation also makes it difficult for patients to navigate the health care system, as they may need to see multiple providers for different health problems.
Finally, legacy health care is often criticized for its lack of focus on prevention and population health. The fee-for-service model incentivizes healthcare providers to treat serious illnesses and injuries instead of addressing the underlying causes of poor health. more details
American Cancer Society Case Study
The goal of the American Cancer society is to create a portal to educate cancer patients, caregivers, family and friends of cancer patients. This application seeks to remove the burden on the user by serving as a one stop solution for all the information the user needs to educate themselves about a family member’s diagnosis. Most importantly, the application will deliver personalized content to the user about the patient’s disease based on the patient’s diagnosis, treatment options for the diagnosis, drugs for treatment and the side effects associated with each drug. Users will also get tips on dealing with cancer patients and receive stories of hope.

The American Cancer Society and the Affordable Care Act
- 2. Based in Melville, NY, Ellen Scharaga is an experienced professional in the pharmaceutical industry. Currently, she serves as an operational consultant for Alegria Specialty Pharmacy, assisting the company with its development of specialty compound medications. In addition to her career as a pharmacist, Ellen Scharaga contributes to the American Cancer Society (ACS). The ACS raises funds to supplement cancer research and treatment, and it also provides resources for cancer patients and their families, including a health insurance assistance service that helps patients and caretakers understand insurance options provided by the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
- 3. The ACS has conducted scientific studies demonstrating that people covered by health insurance are more likely to survive cancer and be diagnosed at an earlier stage. This is because of ACA provisions that include preventive screenings, treatments, and follow- up care. Similarly, the health care law provides better training to health care professionals in treating pain and ensuring a higher quality of life for cancer patients.
