The U.S. surgeon general just declared gun violence a public health crisis, driven by the fast-growing number of injuries and deaths involving firearms in the country. The advisory issued by Dr. Vivek Murthy, the nation’s top doctor, came as the U.S. grappled with another summer weekend marked by mass shootings that left dozens of people dead or wounded.

POPULATION HEALTH: Management?

Posted on June 18, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA CMP

SPONSOR: http://www.MarcinkoAssociates.com

What is population health management?

The Care Continuum Alliance, an alliance of stakeholders across the continuum of care, is working precisely toward the goal of improving the health of populations. They espouse a detailed set of principles and a model of “population health management.” It can be summed up, in the broadest sense, as the care provider community, in partnership with patients and their families, conducting proactive and collective monitoring of the patient’s healthcare quality, adherence, access, and outcomes with the goal of improving the health of an entire patient population.

As such, population health management stresses wellness and prevention through lifestyle and disease management and complex case management to remove the gap between zero care and costly chronic or emergency care. It emphasizes the full spectrum of needs from prevention and wellness to keeping healthy people and at-risk people healthy, to better manage the care of those with chronic conditions, and to still be ready to provide emergent or acute care services. In most cases, it also includes the involved providers taking on accountability for the financial risk and quality of care provided.

We have been working with administrative and physician leaders across the country to grapple with what it will mean to actually foster valuable population health management in the different communities they serve. It is clear that this is a whole new paradigm and that the years of experience and training that have brought them to where they are today may not have sufficiently prepared them for what is to come. It requires a well-coordinated and complete continuum of care, with new metrics and advanced analytics. As one might expect,while clusters of resistance to the idea remain, most have flung themselves into learning mode and are beginning to “act their way into new thinking.”

However, we also see a big risk in powering ahead without revisiting the role of a key stakeholder group—patients and their families, whose experience and perspective are often left behind, but whose actions will have a profound effect on the future success of population health management efforts.

A growing number of drugs are in short supply around the U.S., according to pharmacists.

In the first three months of the year, there were 323 active medication shortages, surpassing the previous high of 320 shortages in 2014, according to a survey by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) and Utah Drug Information Service. It also amounts to the most shortages since the trade group started keeping track in 2001. “All drug classes are vulnerable to shortages. Some of the most worrying shortages involve generic sterile injectable medications, including cancer chemotherapy drugs and emergency medications stored in hospital crash carts and procedural areas,” ASHP said in a statement.

Scheduling an appointment with a primary care doctor who belongs to a large health system might cause an increase in health care spending, according to a recent study. Such physicians tend to make more referrals to specialists, and emergency room visits and hospitalizations sometimes increase, according to the research out of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

In short, physicians who work for health care systems like hospitals are more likely to recommend that patients use other services within those systems, compared with independent physicians. For the study — which was published in JAMA Health Forum, a journal of the American Medical Association — researchers analyzed the experiences of more than 4 million patients in Massachusetts.

Small physician practices are still struggling in the wake of February’s Change Healthcare cyberattack, according to an American Medical Association (AMA) survey released Wednesday.

More than half of ~1,400 respondents (55%) reported that they’ve had to use personal funds to cover their practice’s expenses due to the cyberattack’s effects on cash flow. Practices across the country have been unable to fill prescriptions or process insurance claims as Change Healthcare systems went offline, Healthcare Brew previously reported. About two-thirds of respondents said they’ve experienced restrictions to core functions, such as suspending claim payments (36%), not being able to submit claims (32%), and not being able to obtain electronic remittance advice (39%), according to the survey.

The CBOE Volatility Index^® (VIX) rose 2.38 to 17.30.

Semiconductor shares were also among the weakest performers Friday as chip makers reversed Thursday’s sharp gains. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) dropped more than 3% and ended with its third straight weekly decline. Energy companies were also under pressure after crude oil prices retreated from the morning rally. Oil futures are still up 20% this year. The small-cap Russell 2000^® Index (RUT) lost 1.9% and posted a 2.9% drop for the week.

In other markets, the U.S. dollar index (DXY) strengthened to a five-month high and gained 1.7% this week, reflecting beliefs the hotter-than-expected inflation readings earlier this week will keep interest rates elevated. Volatility based on the VIX jumped to its highest level since late October.

DAILY UPDATE: The Markets, Buffett and COVID

Posted on May 8, 2023 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

By Staff Reporters

The S&P 500 and the Dow are coming off their worst weeks since March. And even with the Fed signaling the end of interest rate hikes, analysts don’t expect the market to perk up all of a sudden. Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley predict the S&P will end the year lower than its current level. US oil prices, meanwhile, have fallen for three consecutive weeks over economic concerns.

***

We mentioned the annual “Woodstock for Capitalists” meeting last week on this ME-P. Here are the highlights.

On the regional banking crisis: W. Buffett bashed leaders at the banks that failed this spring (First Republic, SVB, etc.), saying they “should suffer” and face “punishment.” But he also blamed the “totally crazy” bank regulations that incentivize bad behavior and “very poor” messaging around the debacle from politicians and the media. Buffett thinks the government was right to intervene to protect SVB depositors, claiming, “It would have been catastrophic” otherwise.

On the status of the dollar: “We are the reserve currency. I see no option for any other currency to be the reserve currency,” Buffett said. He called the notion of bitcoin or other tokens dethroning the dollar a “joke.”

On Berkshire’s investment in Apple: The value of Berkshire’s stake in Apple has ballooned to $151 billion, amounting to nearly half the value of its entire stock portfolio. “It just happens to be a better business than any we own,” Buffett said.

US ends Covid-19 public health emergency: Like Title 42, the US public health emergency for Covid-19 will end on this Thursday. That may limit access to testing for millions of Americans, but it won’t affect the availability of treatments and vaccines.

COVID-19: Public Health RE-EMERGENCY?

Posted on August 7, 2022 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

By Staff Reporters

***

***

The Biden administration is expected to extend the Covid-19 public health emergency once again, ensuring that federal measures expanding access to health coverage, vaccines and treatments remain in place beyond the midterm elections, three people with knowledge of the matter told POLITICO. The planned renewal follows extensive deliberations among Biden officials over the future of the emergency declaration, including some who questioned whether it was time to let the designation lapse.

Under the proposed extension, the Department of Health and Human Services would continue the declaration beyond the November elections and potentially into early 2023 — pushing the U.S. into its fourth calendar year under a Covid public health emergency. “Covid is not over. The pandemic is not over,” one senior Biden official said. “It doesn’t make sense to lift this [declaration] given what we’re seeing on the ground in terms of cases.”

CELEBRATE: National Public Health Week 2022

Posted on April 8, 2022 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

***

***

National Public Health Week is observed during the first week of April every year. That’s seven days to champion the health of all Americans. It’s a week to recognize that everyone should lead healthier lives, irrespective of where they live, work, or come from. Since its founding in 1955, the initiative has become an important movement to highlight issues that can improve the health and happiness of a nation. You could choose to crush a workout or any workout challenge today. It’s a great week to start eating healthy and stick to it. Whatever you do, remember to involve your friends, family, and the larger community. It’s also a week when we campaign for health policies that are fair, inclusive, and accessible to all communities in the United States.

CITE: https://www.r2library.com/Resource/Title/082610254

HISTORY

The first National Public Health Week took place in April 1955 and was organized by the American Public Health Association (A.P.H.A.). Since then, the initiative has received tremendous support from civil societies and administrations across the United States. The day recognizes the long history and achievements in public health. It also serves to highlight critical issues to help people lead healthier and happier lives.

In attempting to reach these goals, National Public Health Week seeks to address the root causes of poor health, disease, and lifestyles. It starts with recognizing that healthcare is still a privilege many cannot afford. Where people are born, their neighborhoods, places of work, different lives, and backgrounds determine the quality of healthcare access.

For example, a child who goes to school hungry will not be an engaged student. People working for minimum wages sacrifice health for the sake of an income. It’s thousands of families who have no access to nutritious food in their communities. Or those without the means to travel to access quality healthcare, often located far away.

National Public Health Week is committed to making health inclusive and equitable. It hopes to foster decision-making that considers the health of all communities — irrespective of income, race, or gender. Each year, the first full week in April celebrates the power of the community in realizing this vision. The A.P.H.A. usually announces different themes for each day of the week. From fitness challenges and discussions to sharing healthy recipes — it’s seven days of committing to health as a country.

So, no matter where you are, APHA invites you to join us as we celebrate National Public Health Week! This year’s theme, Public Health Is Where You Are, celebrates what we know is true: The places where we are, physically, mentally and societally, affect our health and our lives.

Celebrate and promote health in your community by hosting your own NPHW event!

***

…
Here are a few ideas:

Host virtual health panels and discussions. …
Team up to reach new audiences and build community. …
Take advantage of Student Day. …
Organize around the daily themes. …
Make advocacy easy. …
Find movement opportunities.

PODCAST: First Rules of Population Health

Posted on June 24, 2021 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

One of the 1st Rules of Population Health is That 5% of the Population Generates 50% of Total Healthcare Costs

BY ERIC BRICKER MD

However, That 5% of High-Cost Claimants is a Heterogenous Population

2.5 Percentage Points of the 5% Are Claimants That Were Either High-Cost Claimants the Previous Year with On-Going Complex Medical Situations or Generated Claims Related to Chronic Diseases Such as Diabetes or Multiple Sclerosis.

HOWEVER, the Other 2.5 Percentage Points of the 5% Are Claimants That Generated Zero or Almost-Zero Claims in the Previous 12-Months.

They Essentially ‘Blow Up’ Out of Nowhere.

This Video Describes the 4 Categories of These High-Cost Claimants:

1) Previously Known and Prolonged High Costs

2) Previously Known and Episodic High Costs (that no longer continue)

3) Previously Unknown and Prolonged High Costs

4) Previously Unknown and Episodic High Costs (that no longer continue)

Learn the Clinical Diagnoses That Make Up Each Category and the Secret of Which Groups to Target and Why.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Posted on May 4, 2021 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

By NIHCM Foundation

This infographic takes a close look at the pharmacist workforce and its role in the COVID-19 response.

Pharmacists are trusted and accessible, with 90% of Americans living within five miles of a pharmacy. They are well-positioned to address vaccine hesitancy and ensure equitable COVID-19 vaccine distribution and access. Leveraging and supporting pharmacists could help address public health priorities both during and after the corona virus pandemic.

WHAT IS “CONTACT TRACING” IN PUBLIC HEALTH?

Posted on April 9, 2020 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

WHAT IS “CONTACT TRACING” IN PUBLIC HEALTH?

Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

When a patient tests positive, you make a list of everyone they came in close contact with. Then, you find those people and make sure they self-isolate before infecting others.

That sounds straightforward, but contact tracing a new patient typically takes three days, which is “an insurmountable hurdle in the U.S., with its low numbers of public health workers and tens of thousands of new cases every day.”

ELSEWHERE: South Korea used high-tech contact tracing to tame its outbreak. The government compiled GPS data, credit card swipes, and other info into a public log showing where COVID-19 patients had traveled.

Some countries (including the U.S.) are trying other methods, including looking at smart-phone location data and developing Bluetooth systems that provide warnings if you’ve crossed paths with an infected person.

PROBLEMS: Despite its widespread use in places like Singapore, contact tracing has raised concerns about privacy and governments following citizens’ whereabouts.

APHA – 143rd. Annual Meeting & Expo

Posted on September 5, 2015 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

Dear Friend of Public Health

By Georges C. Benjamin MD
[APHA Executive Director]

How did you get to work today? Did it improve your health?

When I asked a traffic engineer those questions, we ended up having a fascinating conversation. She was someone used to focusing on safety and was thrilled to consider the broader impact she could have on her community’s health.

In our quest to become the healthiest nation, these are the types of discussions we need to have more often. Today in America, your zip code can mean a 15 year difference in life expectancy. We can’t fix this in a doctor’s office. We need to work far upstream with housing, transportation, education, parks & recreation, energy, employment, criminal justice – all the areas of our society that unfortunately are not giving people an equal opportunity for a long and healthy life.

That’s why this year’s Annual Meeting theme is “Health in All Policies.” Now more than ever we need to explore new ways to build partnerships. Our opening session will feature Dr. Freeman A. Hrabowski, president of the University of Maryland Baltimore County, who will discuss improving education, especially for minorities. He will be joined by actor Ed Begley Jr., a passionate environmentalist who will share his current initiatives in the environment field. Our closing session with health officials from Baltimore, St. Louis and Chicago will focus on building healthy and just communities.

Don’t miss this opportunity to join more than 12,000 of the brightest minds in public health. We’ll celebrate everything public health is doing right, and explore how we need to evolve to meet tomorrow’s challenges. Register now to take advantage of early-bird discounts.

I look forward to seeing you in Chicago.

Sincerely,

Georges C. Benjamin MD

JOIN THE “THIS IS PUBLIC HEALTH” CAMPAIGN

Posted on October 20, 2014 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

What it Is – How it Works?

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

Most people don’t understand what public health is or how it impacts their daily lives. So, with the Ebola crisis of a few years ago finally reduced, it may be just the right time to review this important specialty.

Referencing Ebola

According to Wikipedia, Ebola virus disease (EVD), Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) or simply Ebola is a disease of humans and other mammals caused by ebolavirus. Signs and symptoms typically start between two days and three weeks after contracting the virus, with a fever, sore throat, muscle pain and headaches. Then, vomiting, diarrhea and rash usually follows, along with decreased function of the liver and kidneys. Around this time, infected people may begin to bleed both within the body and externally. Death, if it occurs, is typically six to sixteen days after symptoms appear and is often due to low blood pressure from fluid loss.

The virus is acquired by contact with blood or other body fluids of an infected human or other animal. This may also occur by direct contact with a recently contaminated item. Spread through the air has not been documented in the natural environment. Fruit bats are believed to be the normal carrier in nature, able to spread the virus without being affected. Humans become infected by contact with the bats or a living or dead animal that has been infected by bats. Once human infection occurs, the disease may spread between people as well. Male survivors may be able to transmit the disease via semen for nearly two months. To diagnose EVD, other diseases with similar symptoms such as malaria, cholera and other viral hemorrhagic fevers are first excluded. Blood samples are tested for viral antibodies, viral RNA, or the virus itself to confirm the diagnosis.

Outbreak control requires a coordinated series of medical services, along with a certain level of community engagement. The necessary medical services include rapid detection and contact tracing, quick access to appropriate laboratory services, proper management of those who are infected, and proper disposal of the dead through cremation or burial. Prevention includes decreasing the spread of disease from infected animals to humans. This may be done by only handling potentially infected bush meat while wearing proper protective clothing and by thoroughly cooking it before consumption. It also includes wearing proper protective clothing and washing hands when around a person with the disease. Samples of body fluids and tissues from people with the disease should be handled with special caution.

No specific treatment for the disease is yet available. Efforts to help those who are infected are supportive and include giving either oral rehydration therapy (slightly sweetened and salty water to drink) or intravenous fluids. This supportive care improves outcomes. The disease has a high risk of death, killing between 25% and 90% of those infected with the virus (average is 50%). EVD was first identified in an area of Sudan (now part of South Sudan), as well as in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). The disease typically occurs in outbreaks in tropical regions of sub-Saharan Africa. From 1976 (when it was first identified) through 2013, the World Health Organization reported a total of 1,716 cases. The largest outbreak to date is the ongoing 2014 West African Ebola outbreak, which is currently affecting Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia.

As of 14th October 2014, 9,216 suspected cases resulting in the deaths of 4,555 have been reported. Efforts are under way to develop a vaccine; however, none yet exists.

STD Risk Factors to Consider in Public Health

Posted on September 27, 2011 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

For Men and Women

There are many factors that affect those at risk for contracting an STD. Many times individuals don’t know or understand which things put them at risk of infection. Some STD’s can be transmitted in surprising ways. For those at risk, regular comprehensive testing can help prevent unintended transmissions. Furthermore, early diagnosis of some STD’s can greatly improve treatment options and avoid hassles associated with full blown infection.

Sensitive Topic

This public service announcement may be a sensitive subject for some ME-P readers. So, the graphic below attempts to use a bit of humor to highlight important things to remember for those who are sexually active.

If you’re concerned about STD’s or want to know more, see please your physician or visit the STD Testing page for additional information.

Alternative Design Options for a Public Health Plan

Posted on April 23, 2009 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

New Lewin Group Report Examines Potential Impact

[By Staff Reporters]

April 6, 2009

FALLS CHURCH, VA – The Lewin Group released a report titled “The Cost and Coverage Impacts of a Public Plan: Alternative Design Options.” The report examines potential impacts that a “public health plan” might have in competing for enrollment with the private insurance industry.

Healthcare Reform

As ME-P readers are aware, a public plan is currently being considered in a number of health reform proposals being considered by President Obama and the US Congress. This analysis enhances prior work done by The Lewin Group of the major party presidential candidate’s health reform proposals, during the 2008 campaign, as well as more recent analyses of the Congressional plans now being considered. The report estimates the impact on cost and coverage based on different levels of eligibility and reimbursement rates.

Key Findings Review

According to The Health Care Blog writer Robert Laszewski, key study findings include:

If Medicare payment levels are used in the public plan, premiums would be up to 30 percent less than premiums for comparable private coverage. On average, the monthly premium in the public plan for a typical benefits package would be $761 per family compared with an average of $970 per family in the private market for the same coverage.
If as the President proposed, eligibility is limited to only small employers, individuals and the self-employed, public plan enrollment would reach 42.9 million people. The number of people with private coverage would fall by 32.0 million people. If private payer reimbursement levels are used by the public plan, enrollment would be lower, with only 10.4 million people switching to the public plan from private insurance.
If the public plan is opened to all employers as proposed by former Senators Clinton and Edwards, at Medicare payment levels we estimate that about 131.2 million people would enroll in the public plan. The number of people with private health insurance would decline by 119.1 million people. This would be a two-thirds reduction in the number of people with private coverage (currently 170 million people). Here again, if the higher private payer levels are used, enrollment in private insurance would decline by only 12.5 million people.
Assuming Medicare reimbursement rates and eligibility for all individuals and employers, provider net income would decline under this public plan proposal, even after accounting for reduced uncompensated care and increased utilization for the newly insured. Net hospital revenues would fall by $36 billion (4.6 percent), and physician net income would fall by $33 billion (6.8 percent). If eligibility is restricted to individuals and small firms, net hospital revenues would actually increase by $11.3 billion due to the increase in newly insured individuals. But net physician incomes would decline by $3.0 billion.
