Hard Times in the Country
The AP recently reported onthe disappearance of maternity wards in rural areas: Alisha Alderson placed her folded clothes and everything she needed for
the last month of her pregnancy in various suitcases. She never imagined
she would have to leave the comfort of her home in rural eastern Oregon
just weeks before her due date. But following the abrupt closure in
August of the only maternity ward within 40 miles, she decided to stay
at her brother ’s house near Boise, Idaho — a two-hour drive through a
mountain pass — to be closer to a hospital. . . .A growing number of rural hospitals have been shutt...

Healthcare IT Regulations – What Needs to Be Added and What Needs to Be Removed
There are a lot of rules and regulations in place in the world of healthcare. These are put into place in order to protect patients and organizations. However, the world of healthcare is constantly changing and evolving as we come up with new ideas and solutions. Have the regulations done the same though? Or are there areas that are missing regulations? Or are there areas in healthcare where past regulations are now too restrictive and are holding us back?
In search of answers to these questions, we reached out to our incredibly beautiful Healthcare IT Today Community to see what areas they would add, remove, or update re...

Reasons, Rewards, and Tips for a More Accessible and Inclusive Web
The following is a guest article by Ben Cash, Founding Partner and CEO at Reason One
The end of September marks International Week of the Deaf, followed soon after by Blind Americans Equality Day. Both are reminders of the need to make online resources accessible to all. Supporting this is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), intended to protect the civil rights of persons with disabilities when it comes to areas like employment, government services, public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications.
For any organization – and particularly healthcare entities and systems – accessibility should...

A Prescription-Strength Formula for Stronger Cybersecurity in Healthcare Organizations
The following is a guest article by Steven Stone, Head of Rubrik Zero Labs at Rubrik
In early August, a ransomware attack disrupted operations across its network of 17 hospitals and more than 165 clinics in four states and forced some to rely on paper records. Some emergency rooms were shut down and ambulances diverted after the company took its computer systems offline to protect and restore them.
Again. Here we go again. This is what most of us thought when we read this story. Cyberattacks on healthcare institutions are not only particularly galling, they’re growing. Healthcare organizations were hit with 1,426 attacks...

How Policy Changes Can Fix Market Distortions in Healthcare and Improve the Country ’s Debt
The following is a guest article by Zach Markin, Co-Founder and CEO at HTD Health
American healthcare is the most dysfunctional industry in our country. Historically, it is the most prolific driver of family bankruptcy, and now it is on its way to bankrupting our country collectively. A major justification for President Biden’s tax hike proposal is to shore up the tenuous finances of Medicare whose trust fund is forecasted to be depleted by 2028. While this is important, such efforts address the symptoms of a dysfunctional industry rather than the root causes.
While the near-term liquidity and long-term financial health ...

THCB 20th Birthday classics: A Brief History of Price Controls by Annoyed Republican Administrations
By UWE REINHARDT
One of the greatest pleasures of running THCB has been to get to know and host the writings of some of my health policy heroes. This week I have already published work from Jeff Goldsmith, and Ian Morrison & Michael Millenson among others will be featured next week (as the party won’t quite stop). Perhaps one of the most amazing things was that the doyen of health economists, Uwe Reinhardt, offered to write some original pieces for THCB…prodded by former editor John Irvine. This is one of my favorites, riffing on a talk I heard him give in (I think) 1993 about how HCFA was like the Kreml...

Hopes and Questions raised by Alzheimer ’s drug Leqembi (lecanemab)
The FDA has approved Leqembi, the first disease-modifying treatment for early-stage Alzheimer’s and a precursor condition, mild cognitive impairment. Medicare has said it will pay for the therapy. Medical centers across the country are scrambling to finalize policies and procedures for providing the medication to patients, possibly by summer’s end or early autumn.
It’s a fraught moment, with hope running high for families and other promising therapies such as donanemab on the horizon. Still, medical providers are cautious. “This is an important first step in developing treatments for complex neurodegenerative disea...
