The Electronic Municipal Market Access website is the official source for comprehensive annual financial reports and operating information about any hospital or health care facility financed by public debt. \nEMMA is the SEC’s free database that covers the finances and debts of hospitals\, universities\, cities and lots more. \nYou can startle your editors by getting alerts when the hospitals you care about merge or get downgraded. You can get the latest financials much sooner than just about anywhere else. And you can even learn about the performance of some for-profit companies\, which I had no idea about. \nStaff from the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board will demonstrate how to find hospital data and information on EMMA\, and highlight several EMMA tools and resources that can assist reporters with monitoring hospital finances and identifying potential stories. \n\n\nLeah Szarek\, senior manager of communications\, Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board \n\n\nModerator: Karl Stark\, business news editor\, The Philadelphia Inquirer; AHCJ board member \n\n\n\nLeah Szarek \n\n\nKarl Stark URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/emma-get-to-know-this-source-for-hospital-financial-reports/ CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180821T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180821T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T155353Z CREATED:20231103T173422Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T155353Z UID:26467-1534813200-1534813200@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Integrating health care with community-based options for chronically ill elders DESCRIPTION:Recorded: Aug. 21\n\nWatch it now\nRecorded webcast \nResources\n \nRobyn Stone’s presentation\nrstone@leadingage.org\nClara’s story\nAHCJ core topic on aging\nLeadingAge\n\n \n\nWhile family caregivers form the backbone of the health and long-term care systems\, a projected shortage of caregivers\, coupled with an increasing aging population\, is prompting a need for new approaches to care for seniors with multiple chronic conditions who want to age in their communities. \nSuccessful programs to address long-term care needs incorporate complex\, interrelated factors\, including housing\, community-based services\, and other social determinants of health. Robyn Stone\, executive director of the LeadingAge Center for Applied Research\, will review several community-based models that work and and how they help meet the increasing demand for community-based long-term care.  \n\n\nRobyn Stone\, Dr.P.H.\, senior vice president of research\, LeadingAge\, and co-director\, LeadingAge LTSS Center at the University of Massachusetts Boston \n\n\nModerator: Liz Seegert \n\n\nRobyn Stone is senior vice president of research\, LeadingAge\, and co-director of LeadingAge LTSS Center at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
