Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by the President and CEO of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and a leading health care journalist, this groundbreaking book examines how leading organizations in the United States are pursuing the Triple Aim—improving the individual experience of care, improving the health of populations, and reducing the per capita cost of care. Even with major steps forward – including the Affordable Care Act and the creation of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation -- the national health care debate is too often poisoned by negativity. A quieter, more thoughtful, and vastly more constructive conversation continues among health care leaders and professionals throughout the country. Innovative solutions are being designed and implemented at the local level, and countless health care organizations are demonstrating breakthrough remedies to some of the toughest and most expensive challenges in health care. Pursuing the Triple Aim shares compelling stories that are emerging in locations ranging from Pittsburgh to Seattle, from Boston to Oakland, focused on topics including improving quality and lowering costs in primary care; setting challenging goals to control chronic disease with notable outcomes; leveraging employer buying power to improve quality, reduce waste, and drive down cost; paying for care under an innovative contract that compensates for quality rather than quantity; and much more. The authors describe these innovations in detail, and show the way toward a health care system for the nation that improves the experience and quality of care while at the same time controlling costs. As the Triple Aim moves from being largely an aspirational framework to something that communities all across the US can implement and learn from, its potential to become a touchstone for the work ahead has never been greater. Pursuing the Triple Aim lays out the vision, the interventions, and promising examples of success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The balance between state and federal health care financing for low-income people has been a matter of considerable debate for the last 40 years. Some argue for a greater federal role, others for more devolution of responsibility to the states. Medicaid, the backbone of the system, has been plagued by an array of problems that have made it unpopular and difficult to use to extend health care coverage. In recent years, waivers have given the states the flexibility to change many features of their Medicaid programs; moreover, the states have considerable flexibility to in establishing State Children's Health Insurance Programs. This book examines the record on the changing health safety net. How well have states done in providing acute and long-term care services to low-income populations? How have they responded to financial incentives and federal regulatory requirements? How innovative have they been? Contributing authors include Donald J. Boyd, Randall R. Bovbjerg, Teresa A. Coughlin, Ian Hill, Michael Housman, Robert E. Hurley, Marilyn Moon, Mary Beth Pohl, Jane Tilly, and Stephen Zuckerman.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social determinants of health are relatively well-documented, considering that the academic and research concept of studying the non-clinical causes of health disparities is little more than twenty years old. The World Health Organization recognizes ten different social elements that are likely to influence health outcomes in both positive and negative ways: income and social protection, education, unemployment and job insecurity, food insecurity, housing, basic amenities and the environment, early childhood development, social inclusion and non-discrimination, structural conflict, and access to affordable services of decent quality. The United States healthcare system is one of few among the developing nations that centers health policy decisions upon favoring employer sponsored insurance, or ESI. Such a practice has deep roots in American history and policy. What is concerning about this focus, however, is that less than fifty percent of Americans actually access their primary insurance coverage through employer-sponsored plans. Lower-income families and workers are traditionally less likely to be covered by employer plans, meaning that those who qualify are all but forced to seek coverage through state and federal insurance programs, like Medicaid. As prices and overall spending continues to increase at concerning rates, the reliance upon insurance as a mechanism to facilitate affordability is nearly cemented. Overall health outcomes among the uninsured (or underinsured) tend to be worse than those who have insurance, as we know that in many cases, the uninsured end up delaying or avoiding care due to cost.States that consistently rank as having the worst health outcomes , tend to coincide with data that indicates that they also spend less on care per capita. There are a multitude of reasons why this could be - some research points to burdens in accessing public health care provisions (both insurance and clinical care), others point to high rates of uninsurance due to cost, while others examine the relationship between cultural and dietary habits and health maintenance. Many of these concentrations in poor health outcomes tend to reside in states that also have poor outcomes in education, poverty, and other social metrics that tend to be predictors of health outcomes. For these reasons, this paper will explore the access to affordable and quality services in the United States, specifically in the realm of Medicaid and state efforts to alter its accessibility and quality. Section 1115 Medicaid waivers have long been utilized by states to change health care policy in ways that the federal government does not. From expanding eligibility criteria, to imposing work requirements, it is often implied that state leaders use this tool for political posturing rather than program improvement. However, almost every state has applied for a waiver at some point in time, making irrelevant the argument that one party rather pulls this lever more than another. This paper seeks to quantify some of the assumptions about why states use this tool to alter Medicaid and its structure: by incorporating state demographic factors, I will examine the varying incentives that states have to apply for Medicaid demonstration waivers. I will investigate this question by using data from a combination of sources including for poverty and income levels, employment, state gross domestic product, Medicaid enrollment, state legislative leanings, and more. Due to the multi-faceted nature of these waivers, my research will examine waivers in all states, along with separate analyses for states that are re-applying for existing waivers, and further stratification for addressing the individual likelihoods of applying for “progressive” waivers (that seek to expand Medicaid access and enrollment) versus “regressive” waivers (or waivers that seek to restrict Medicaid access and enrollment). This research will provide valuable context for further discussion around political incentives, and whether state efforts to better manage (or better afford) Medicaid programs are really of merit.

This book was released on 2018-08-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic homelessness is a highly complex social problem of national importance. The problem has elicited a variety of societal and public policy responses over the years, concomitant with fluctuations in the economy and changes in the demographics of and attitudes toward poor and disenfranchised citizens. In recent decades, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic community have worked hard to develop and implement programs to solve the challenges of homelessness, and progress has been made. However, much more remains to be done. Importantly, the results of various efforts, and especially the efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in recent years, have shown that the problem of homelessness can be successfully addressed. Although a number of programs have been developed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, this report focuses on one particular type of intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH). Permanent Supportive Housing focuses on the impact of PSH on health care outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses policy and program barriers that affect the ability to bring the PSH and other housing models to scale to address housing and health care needs.
