SUMMARY:Webcast: Why Are More U.S. Mothers Dying and What Can Be Done?
DESCRIPTION:Why Are More U.S. Mothers Dying and What Can Be Done? Presented jointly with PRI’s The World & WGBH \nMaternal mortality dropped by almost half over the last 25 years around the world. However\, in startling contrast\, deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth doubled in the United States between 2000 and 2014\, putting the nation second-to-last in maternal mortality among countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Further\, pernicious racial disparities mean that black women in the United States face a deeply distressing three- to four-times higher risk of pregnancy-related deaths. What factors are driving these increases and disparities? What changes will narrow the survival gap between white and black women? How can health care systems more effectively prevent complications and poor outcomes? And how can mothers themselves and their communities be agents for change for a more equitable and safe delivery of the next generation?  \n Live webcast on Monday\, March 4\, 2019 Noon-1pm ET An on-demand video will be posted after the event. \n\n\nWays to Watch \n\n\nForumHSPH.org \n\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/Forumhsph \n\n\nHarvard Chan YouTube \n\n\nPeople can send questions to the panelists ahead of time and also engage on Twitter.  \nSend our panelists questions in advance to theforum@hsph.harvard.edu.  \n We’ll be conducting a live chat on The Forum’s Deaths from Pregnancy and Childbirth: Why Are More U.S. Mothers Dying and What Can Be Done?website \n Tweet us @ForumHSPH #USmaternalmortality \n

SUMMARY:Medi-Cal Explained: An Overview of Program Basics
DESCRIPTION:Medi-Cal is the foundation of California’s health care safety net and a major component of the state’s budget. It covers nearly half of California’s children and residents with disabilities\, one in five California workers\, and more than a million California seniors. \nCalifornia has a new governor\, as well as new representatives in the State Senate and State Assembly. Together\, these leaders are tasked with providing oversight of the Medi-Cal program and for making policy decisions about its direction. Among the issues they’ll need to address are ensuring the program is strong and sustainable for the millions of Californians who rely on it for coverage\, continuing to focus on the future of care integration and delivery system transformation pilots that are currently financed through the state’s Section 1115 waiver\, which expires in 2020\, and making sure the state is getting the best value from its managed care program. \nUnderstanding the policy and programmatic issues facing Medi-Cal requires knowledge of the basics of the program. In this briefing\, the first in a series sponsored by CHCF\, experts will provide an overview of Medi-Cal\, including the people it serves and the services it provides\, as well as the organization\, oversight\, and financing of the program. Jennifer Kent\, director of the Department of Health Care Services\, will also offer thoughts about its future. \nSpeakers \n\n\nJacey Cooper\, Senior Advisor\, Health Care Programs\, California Department of Health Care Services \n\n\nAssmaa Elayyat\, Senior Policy Analyst\, County Welfare Directors Association \n\n\nScott Graves\, Director of Research\, California Budget and Policy Center \n\n\nLindy Harrington\, Deputy Director\, Health Care Financing\, California Department of Health Care Services \n\n\nDeborah Kelch\, Executive Director\, Insure the Uninsured Project \n\n\nJennifer Kent\, Director\, California Department of Health Care Services \n\n\nChris Perrone\, Director\, Improving Access\, CHCF \n\n\nKristof Stremikis\, Director\, Market Analysis and Insight\, CHCF \n\n\nMargaret Tatar\, Principal\, Health Management Associates \n\n\nTuesday\, Feb. 12\n10 a.m. -2p.m.\nSacramento Masonic Temple\, 1123 J Street\, Sacramento\n\nThere will be a webcast and\, on Feb. 9\, the California Health Care Foundation will publish a series of documents (called Medi-Cal Explained). \n\nGet more information and register here.

SUMMARY:Too Much Medicine: Addressing Inappropriate Care
DESCRIPTION:Webinar: Jan. 25\, 1-2:30 p.m. ET \nPhysicians estimate that more than 20 percent of medical care is unnecessary\, and it can cause serious patient harm. Surgical procedures can increase the risk of complications and overprescribing can lead to drug addiction\, as demonstrated by the opioid crisis. Inappropriate care also comes at a considerable cost: a staggering $265 billion per year. \nInitiatives like Choosing Wisely and Practicing Wisely seek to curb unnecessary medical treatments and spending. In this webinar\, speakers will discuss: \n•            Research exposing the prevalence of inappropriate care\, like excessive screenings and lab tests \n•            Strategies to improve patient\, provider\, and payer understanding of what is appropriate care \n•            A successful model for partnering with physicians to implement Practicing Wisely’s Appropriate Use Measures \n•            The importance of considering appropriate use in quality & value-based payment programs \nSpeakers: \n\n\nMarty Makary\, Johns Hopkins Medicine \n\n\nMichael Drescher\, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee \n\n\nTy Gluckman\, Providence Heart and Vascular Institute \n\n\nLucy Liu\, Practicing Wisely and Oliver Wyman \n\n\nRegister Now \nA draft agenda is available on our website. \n

SUMMARY:World AIDS Day
DESCRIPTION:World AIDS Day takes place on the 1st December each year. It’s an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV\, to show support for people living with HIV\, and to commemorate those who have died from an AIDS-related illness. Founded in 1988\, World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day. \nOver 101\,000 people are living with HIV in the UK. Globally\, there are an estimated 36.7 million people who have the virus. Despite the virus only being identified in 1984\, more than 35 million people have died of HIV or AIDS\, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history. \nToday\, scientific advances have been made in HIV treatment\, there are laws to protect people living with HIV and we understand so much more about the condition. Despite this\, each year in the UK around 5\,000 people are diagnosed with HIV\, people do not know the facts about how to protect themselves and others\, and stigma and discrimination remain a reality for many people living with the condition. \nWorld AIDS Day is important because it reminds the public and government that HIV has not gone away – there is still a vital need to raise money\, increase awareness\, fight prejudice and improve education.

A new poll finds that drug/opioid abuse and economic concerns are the top challenges. When it comes to drug addiction and abuse\, a majority of rural Americans say opioid addiction is a serious problem in their community. On economic issues\, rural Americans largely hold negative views of their local economy\, but nearly one-third have seen economic progress in recent years. What may help? A majority of rural Americans believe outside help will be necessary to solve major community problems in the future\, and many believe government will play an important role. \nConvened shortly before National Rural Health Day and after the nation’s midterm elections\, a panel of experts will explore the public health and policy implications of these findings within the broader context of life in rural America. Read the poll\, conducted by NPR\, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Harvard T.H.

SUMMARY:Deadline to apply: AHCJ Reporting Fellowships on Health Care Performance
DESCRIPTION:The AHCJ Reporting Fellowships on Health Care Performance is a yearlong program allowing journalists to pursue a significant reporting project related to the U.S. health care system. It can be local or national in scope\, or a little of both — say an aspect of the Affordable Care Act playing out in your community or subject specialty\, or the impact of particular evidence-based treatments on health outcomes\, or an analysis of a health care organization’s performance\, using public data sets. Fellows pursue the projects with the support of their newsrooms or freelance outlets\, which commit to publish or air the work.  \nGuidance is provided by AHCJ fellowship leaders through customized seminars on health care systems\, conference calls and email consultations. The fellowship covers the cost of attending the seminars and AHCJ conferences\, and a $4\,000 project allowance is available to defray the cost of field reporting\, health data analysis and other project-related research. In addition\, each fellow will receive a $2\,500 fellowship award upon the successful completion of the project. \nThe application deadline is noon CT on Oct. 31. Apply now!
