The public health insurance exchanges have been in operation for nearly three years now and may be opening the door for a new generation of engaged health care consumers. Deloitte’s 2016 Survey of US Health Care Consumers sought to understand their satisfaction with coverage, confidence in handling future health care costs, use of online services, knowledge of costs, and how they shop for coverage. http://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/life-sciences-and-health-care/articles/health-care-consumers-health-insurance-exchanges.html
Findings reveal:
o Exchange consumers say they are satisfied with their coverage at the same rate as people with employer coverage
o More exchange consumers feel prepared to handle future costs and able to access affordable care than last year
o More than twice as many exchange consumers report using online information sources to shop for a policy than the average consumer, including those with employer coverage
o More exchange consumers say they understand their costs than consumers with employer coverage, and when they used their coverage, few had surprise out-of-pocket costs
o Exchange consumers shop around for coverage and evaluate the total costs before making decisions, and they continue to be willing to accept network tradeoffs for lower payments
2016 Survey of US Physicians: Physician awareness, perspectives, and readines...Deloitte United States
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) is a Medicare payment law intended to drive health care payment and delivery system reform for clinicians, health systems, Medicare, and other government and commercial payers. Deloitte’s 2016 Survey of US Physicians sought to shed light on physicians’ awareness of MACRA, their perspectives on its implications, and their attitudes and readiness for change. The survey found that many physicians are unaware of MACRA. Regardless of their awareness level, most physicians surveyed would have to change aspects of their practice to meet the law’s requirements and to do well under its incentives. Many physicians surveyed recognize they will need to bear increased financial risk (under MACRA and in general) and need support and resources to develop the capabilities do so. http://www.deloitte.com/us/macra?id=us:2sm:3ss:macra:eng:lshc:071216

Managing National Health: An Overview of Metrics & OptionsDale Sanders
This is a presentation that I gave at the annual international healthcare conference hosted by the Cayman Islands government. It summarizes the international standards and frameworks for planning and managing the health of a nation. One of the most fun parts of a very fun career was the time that I spent working and living in the Cayman Islands and serving as the CIO of the national health system. The Cayman Islands national health system sat at the intersection of three very influential healthcare ecosystems-- the United States, United Kingdom, and the Pan-American Healthcare Organization. As a result, I was fortunate enough to learn from these international settings and contrast that to the US healthcare system. Other healthcare systems tend to benchmark themselves internationally more so than the United States, where we tend to benchmark ourselves internally. Unfortunately, those internal US benchmarks are the lowest in the developed world by almost every measure of national health.
The goal of this webinar is to help healthcare professionals improve care coordination for patients with advanced illness and to reduce hospital readmissions and length of stay (LOS).

What You Will Learn • The long-term care (LTC) industry consists .docxeubanksnefen
What You Will Learn • The long-term care (LTC) industry consists of various providers, insurers, LTC professionals, and an ancillary sector. • Home health care is a prime example of community-based long-term care providers. Others include homemaker and personal care service providers, adult day care providers, and hospice service providers. • Independent living and retirement centers and custodial care providers such as adult foster care facilities can be referred to as quasi-institutions. • Institutional providers range from assisted living facilities to a variety of providers that are commonly referred to as nursing homes. Some institutional long-term care services are based in hospitals. Continuing care retirement communities integrate and coordinate the independent living and other institution-based components of the LTC continuum. • Commercial insurance companies and managed care organizations play a critical role in the financing of long-term care services. • A variety of health care personnel are involved in the delivery of long-term care. • The ancillary sector supports the other segments of the industry through case management, pharmacy services, and technology. Introduction Efficient delivery of services to a nation’s population necessitates a long-term care (LTC) industry. The LTC industry mainly consists of private providers—organizations that deliver services and can independently bill for those services. In addition, some tax-supported government agencies deliver social services. This chapter elaborates on these providers as a segment of the LTC industry. Other segments of the industry include LTC professionals employed by the industry; without them the industry cannot function. They can be classified as administrative professionals, clinicians, paraprofessional caregivers, ancillary personnel, and social support professionals. In addition, key partners play vital supportive roles. These partners include the insurance industry, managed care organizations, case management agencies, long-term care pharmacies, and developers of medical technology. The Provider Sector The term provider refers to an entity that gets reimbursed for services delivered. Various private organizations and facilities, both for profit and nonprofit, are part of the LTC industry. Both LTC institutions and community-based service providers are essential to serve a variety of needs. The LTC industry is predominantly funded by the government, and certain sectors of the industry are more stringently regulated than others. Community-Based Service Providers Four main types of providers constitute the community-based sector of the LTC industry: (1) home health providers, (2) homemaker and personal care service providers, (3) adult day care providers, and (4) hospice service providers. Home Health Providers Home health care is consistent with the philosophy of maintaining people in the least restrictive environment possible. Without the availability of skille.

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!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
