Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 25th 2016
This study offers one useful data point, as the authors describe a genetic alteration that can boost the supply of new immune cells in old mice. The decline in that supply with age is one of the factors leading to poor immune function - and that means more than just vulnerability to infections, as the immune system is also responsible for destroying potentially cancerous and senescent cells, as well as clearing out forms of damaged proteins and unwanted metabolic waste. Various possibilities for increasing the number of new immune cells already exist in principle, such as regenerating the thymus, or cell therapies in which...

Evaluation of the UCLH-Macmillan Partnership to deliver improvements in the care, treatment, support, and information to patients with cancer throughout their individual journeys
RAND Corporation - The University College London Hospitals NHS Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support partnership is intended to improve the experiences of carers and patients with cancer by improving the whole journey from diagnosis through to palliation, and to embed this in a system that actively engages patients and carers in decision-making at each step. The evaluation aimed to assess the working of the partnership and its capacity to support the partners' plans to move forward through both quantitative and qualitative methods. The evaluation team aimed to approach the question of how the partnership was working...

Building Health Care Systems In Post-Earthquake, Post-Constitution Nepal
Nepal finds itself at a critical juncture in its history. On September 20, 2015 a new Constitution was brought into full force, crystallizing the coming of age of the world’s youngest democratic republic. Today, challenges abound in Nepal — recovery from the worst natural disaster in 80 years, a brutal border conflict with India, and entrenched poverty. And as a landlocked nation with limited options for exporting goods, Nepal continues to face economic stagnation.
Yet the new Constitution brings us great hope. It is among the world’s most progressive, particularly when it comes to the provision of Univer...

Tracking The Impact Of The Affordable Care Act In Kentucky
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) presents states with an opportunity to tailor the implementation of key health policy approaches intended to increase health insurance coverage and access to timely, high-quality care in a way that fits their populations best.
Kentucky may well be one of the most interesting cases to watch and learn from as we seek to understand how the ACA can make us healthier while controlling costs and improving quality of care. The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky has been tracking the impact of the ACA on coverage, access, costs, quality of care, and health outcomes through a multiyear contract with ...

Time to Fashion A Quilt From The Patchwork Of Advance Care Planning
Discussions Saved Her Life.” The article’s positive message was received by CMS leadership and further amplified by public comments to CMS that were overwhelmingly in favor of Medicare payment for end-of-life discussions.
Not long after, CMS announced the new payment codes. That announcement was, as Tuller wrote, an important first step.
It’s time to take up the gauntlet and turn the best practice of advance care planning into common practice.

The Fight Of A Lifetime: Health Systems And Chronic Diseases
Here is something you don’t see too often: a room full of delegates at the World Health Organization (WHO), taking a break from discussions to practice Tai Chi. But so went proceedings at the First Global Meeting of National NCD Program Directors and Managers. The event was the first true opportunity for countries to come together and share their progress in preparation for the third High-level Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) in 2018.
NCDs, also covered in a recent issue of Health Affairs, include illnesses such as cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular dis...

A New Federal Agency to Oversee Patient Safety?
By TEJAL GANDHI, MD
Patient safety should be a major priority for the United States, and that requires designating a centralized entity or coordinating body to oversee efforts to ensure it. Such centralized oversight is one of the key recommendations of “Free from Harm,” a report published in December by the National Patient Safety Foundation. The report highlights the need to create a safety culture, since preventable medical errors in hospitals are estimated to result in as many as 440,000 deaths annually. That would make it the third leading cause of death – after heart disease and cancer.
A new report by the U.S...

Unwinding from HIMSS16
I'm finally unwinding after having a great time at HIMSS 2016 (#HIMSS16). My personal highlight was participating in twoDell Healthcare Tweetups with @MandiBPro and @drnic1 as we chatted about some of the evolving trends in health care. We discussed how data-driven care can improve patient outcomes as long as clinicians have access to the right data at the right time and the right place. We still live in a world where interoperability remains a major barrier, but perhaps 2016 will be the year where we make some significant strides in this area through broader collaborations and partnerships across the health IT i...

Narrative Matters: On Our Reading List
Editor’s note: “Narrative Matters: On Our Reading List” is a monthly roundup where we share some of the most compelling health care narratives driving the news and conversation in recent weeks.
Cut Off From Ambulance Rides
In December 2014, Medicare began a pilot program in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and South Carolina to require prior authorization for “repetitive, scheduled, nonemergency” ambulance rides — enforcing a long-standing Medicare policy under which beneficiaries needed to require a stretcher before Medicare would pay for the nonemergency rides. But the policy crack-down left Charles Prozzillo, ...

How Specialization Is Making Quality Care More Affordable Across The Globe
Developing countries are catching up to the rest of the world — and in this case it isn’t good news. Higher rates of non-communicable diseases are increasing demand for services to treat cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Taking care of these patients, whether rich or poor, will require a massive expansion of services — from detection through complicated tertiary care. Both public and private sector providers will need to find affordable ways to close the gap between what’s available and the treatment that’s needed.
Without proper planning, efforts to expand health services can come with a big ...

The TPP: Signed, But Not Yet Sealed or Delivered
The big trade news from yesterday was that government officials from the 12 nations negotiating the Trans Pacific Partnership traveled to New Zealand for the official signing ceremony. While the negotiators are no doubt relieved, and are looking forward to some time off, we now get to perhaps the most difficult part of the process: Seeing whether Congress will approve what the Obama administration negotiated.
Finding a way for different branches in a divided government to work together is never easy. This year you have Presidential elections thrown into the mix, which makes things even harder.

Paying Providers For Value: The Path Forward
The release of the Alternative Payment Model (APM) Framework White Paper earlier this week is an important milestone in the progress of the Health Care Payment Learning & Action Network (LAN) toward its goal: driving new and innovative health care payment models that promise to improve the quality and value of health care.
The White Paper was developed over the course of several months by the LAN’s Alternative Payment Model Framework and Progress Tracking (APM FPT) Work Group and its Guiding Committee (GC), representing a wide range of private payers, large employers, providers, patients, consumer groups, and state...
