SUMMARY:The Woodhull Study Revisited: Nurses’ Representation in Health News Media
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe George Washington University School of Nursing Center for Health Policy and Media Engagement has replicated the original 1998 Woodhull study\, named after Nancy Woodhull\, the founding editor of USA Today about nurses in the media. The original Woodhull study was done to raise awareness of the voices and perspectives of nurse professionals in the media. The Center has replicated the 20-year-old original study to determine what progress has been made. Twenty years later\, are nurses used as sources more often in health news stories in print media? \nThis three-phase study sought to answer the following questions: the actual replication of the original Woodhull Study Publication that examined journalists’ use of nurses as sources in leading print media of the day; a qualitative study of journalists’ experiences using nurses as sources in health news stories; and an analysis of the tweets from the top 50 schools of nursing. \nThe quantitative research of the 2018 study is being conducted with the Berkeley Media Studies Group. The research team is comprised of: \n\n\nDiana J. Mason\, PhD\, RN\, FAAN\, Senior Policy Service Professor for The George Washington School of Nursing Center for Health Policy and Media Engagement \n\n\nBarbara Glickstein\, MPH\, MS\, RN\, Director of Communications and Media Projects for The George Washington School of Nursing Center for Health Policy and Media Engagement \n\n\nLaura Nixon\, MPH\, Senior Media Researcher\, Berkeley Media Studies Group \n\n\nKristi Westphaln\, PhD\, RN\, CPNP-PC\, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner\, Senior Fellow for The George Washington School of Nursing Center for Health Policy and Media Engagement \n\n\nKimberly D. Acquaviva\, PhD\, MSW\, CSE\, Professor\, The George Washington School of Nursing \n\n\nNATIONAL PRESS CLUB PRESS CONFERENCE May 8\, 2018 \nThe high-level findings from the “Nurses and the Media: A Qualitative Study of Journalists’ Use of Nurses as Sources in Health News Stories” will be presented at a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington\, DC\, on May 8th. Following the presentation of the high-level findings\, there will be a reaction panel including: \n\n\nIvan Oransky\, MD\, President of the Association for Health Care Journalists \n\n\nKate McCarthy\, Director of Programs for the Women’s Media Center \n\n\nYanick Rice Lamb\, Chair/Associate Professor of Cathy Hughes School of Communications and interim assistant chair of the new Department of Media\, Journalism and Film \n\n\nLive streaming of the event will be available free of charge. If you would like to attend via live-stream\, you must RSVP.  \nFunding for this study was provided by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, Beatrice Renfield Foundation\, Sigma Theta Tau International\, American Association of Critical-Care Nurses\, Donald and Barbara Jonas Foundation\, National League for Nursing\, Wolters Kluwer Health\, On Course Learning\, American Association of Colleges of Nursing\, and American Organization of Nurse Executives. \nABOUT THE CENTER FOR HEALTH POLICY & MEDIA ENGAGEMENT: \nThe George Washington University School of Nursing Center for Health Policy and Media Engagement exists to advance policy and the health of the public\, through education\, research\, media\, and public forums. \nHealthCetera is the Center’s blog and podcast featuring evidence-based news\, analysis and commentary. We aim to engage in\, start\, and foster the place online where diverse\, dynamic\, front-line people talk about healthcare and health policy.

SUMMARY:Healthy Returns: Investing in Health Care Innovation
DESCRIPTION:CNBC is launching a new conference called Healthy Returns: Investing in Health Care Innovation. This event will take place on March 28\, 2018\, in New York City in an effort that includes an advisory board to help guide its editorial efforts. The event will be coupled with TV and digital content before\, during and after the conference. \nWhy Healthy Returns? Health care spending in the United States accounts for about 18 percent of our GDP\, reaching $3.2 trillion in 2015\, or $9\,990 for every man\, woman and child. There has certainly been no shortage of news coverage about the debate in Washington over the ACA/Obamacare\, but Healthy Returns is not solely focused on policy or politics. Rather\, this will focus on the business of health care\, includinig innovations and investment opportunities. \nBiotech\, pharmaceutical and insurance companies\, and those who invest in them\, face unique challenges. From an uncertain regulatory environment to the exigencies of clinical trials\, this is an industry rife with risk. But along with that risk\, of course\, is the possibility for big rewards\, both clinically and financially. This is an extraordinary moment as precision medicine\, gene editing and new approaches to immunotherapy\, coupled with ever-increasing computing power\, begin to lead to therapies that just a few years ago seemed totally out of reach. \nSilicon Valley is now getting into the act\, too\, as Google\, Apple and Amazon circle. Big tech and well-funded start-ups are seeking to revolutionize everything from how we monitor and measure our health (wearables) to how we deliver treatment (surgical robots and “smart” pills). What’s clear is that health care is going through a period of rapid and significant medical and technological transformation. \nThe Healthy Returns advisory board will help guide efforts in covering this transformation. Among those on the board: entrepreneurs such as Anne Wojcicki\, founder and CEO of 23andMe\, the hot genetic testing and analysis service; philanthropists such as Sean Parker\, founder of Napster and founding president of Facebook who is now chairman of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy\, and Gates Foundation CEO Susan Desmond-Hellmann; leading medical technologists such as Dr. Eric Topol\, one of the country’s leading voices on the use of genomics to drive transformative research; and top investors and executives such as Fred Hassan\, special limited partner at Warburg Pincus and former CEO of Schering-Plough.  \nLEARN MORE

SUMMARY:Will Value-based Care Save the Health Care System?
DESCRIPTION:Value-based health care is one of the most pressing topics in health care finance and policy today. Value-based payment structures are widely touted as critical to controlling runaway health care costs\, but are often difficult for health care entities to incorporate into their existing infrastructures. Because value-based health care initiatives have bipartisan support\, it is likely that these programs will continue to play a major role in both the public and private health insurance systems. As such\, there is a pressing need to evaluate the implementation of these initiatives thus far and to discuss the direction that American health care financing will take in the coming years. \nTo explore this important issue\, the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy\, Biotechnology\, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School is collaborating with Ropes & Gray LLP to host a one-day conference on value-based health care. This event will bring together scholars\, health law practitioners\, and health care entities to evaluate the impact of value-based health care on the American health care system.   \n\n\nMarch 2\, 2018 9 AM – 5 PM  \n\n\nWasserstein Hall\, Milstein East ABC (2036)Harvard Law School\, 1585 Massachusetts Ave.\, Cambridge\, MA  \n\n\nRegister for this event
