Refreshments will be available. \nFoods containing ingredients with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been dubbed Frankenfoods. They generate scary headlines. Some consumer advocates urge a GMO ban\, arguing that they’re untested\, unregulated\, and linked to potential health problems. Others insist the answer is labelling GMO foods or ingredients so that consumers can choose — and this spurs intense lobbying efforts. And yet others assert that GMO foods can be a boon. Several countries have already barred specific GMO crops. \nBut what do we really know about GMOs? Why do they cause such a firestorm of controversy? Find out at this informative\, thought-provoking discussion. \nPanelists:  \n\n\nThe Sense and Science of GMOs: Doug Gurian-Sherman\, Union of Concerned Scientists \n\n\nGMOs – The Food Industry Perspective: John Ruff\, past president\, Institute of Food Technologists \n\n\nThe Case Against GMOs: Michael Boms\, adjunct assistant professor of biology\, SUNY\, New Paltz \n\n\nThe Argument for Labeling GMO Products: Jean Halloran\, Consumers Union \n\n\nPlease contact Trudy Lieberman to RSVP.

The details will include the number and type of services provided\, and the amount paid for those services delivered in 2012. \nJournalists can use this data to help consumers to make more informed choices about the care they receive. AHCJ has long advocated for the release of this data. \nThe new data provides a more detailed picture of how physicians practice in the Medicare program\, and the payments they receive. This data contains information on more than 880\,000 health care professionals in all 50 states who collectively received $77 billion in payments in 2012 for services delivered to beneficiaries under the Medicare Part B Fee-For-Service program. With this data\, it will be possible to conduct a wide range of analyses that compare 6\,000 different types of services and procedures provided\, as well as payments received by individual health care providers. \nSpeakers:\n\n\nNiall Brennan\, acting director\, CMS Offices of Enterprise Management \n\n\nMarc Hartstein\, director\, CMS Center for Medicare’s Hospital and Ambulatory Policy Group \n\n\nCharles Ornstein\, senior reporter\, ProPublica; member of AHCJ board of directors \n\n\nChristopher Powers\, acting director of the CMS Office of Information Products and Data Analytics’ Information Products Group \n\n\n \nRelated\n\n\nCharles Ornstein: Caution in order when tackling newly released Medicare data \n\n\nPresentation from Christopher Powers \n\n\nIntro to investigating health data using spreadsheetsThis tutorial will give you a jumpstart on using spreadsheets to investigate health data. While it’s important to remember that a spreadsheet can give you a lead but can’t replace your news judgment\, this will help you navigate around spreadsheets\, understand some basic references and learn some good practices in dealing with data. \n\n\nFinding patterns and trends in health data: Pivot tables in spreadsheetsExcel pivot tables are a powerful way to organize\, interpret and manipulate numerical data.

Health disparities are systematic\, plausibly avoidable health differences adversely affecting socially and economically disadvantaged groups. Health disparities may reflect social disadvantage\, but their causes need not be established. They are unfair in that they place already socially disadvantaged groups at further disadvantage with respect to their health.” \nBraveman will provide an overview of the concept of health disparities and a conceptual framework for thinking about how disparities are created\, exacerbated\, and perpetuated across lifetimes and generations. \nThe seminar is 3-4:30 p.m. in the Masur Auditorium\, Natcher Conference Center\, Building 45\, 10 Center Drive\, Bethesda\, Md. \nAdditional Information: \nParking is limited on the NIH campus. The closest Metro stop is Medical Center. Please allow adequate time for a security check.

It will touch all aspects of the U.S. health care system\, reverberate in the economy and the workplace– and keep politicians at high decibel levels at least through the November midterms and probably beyond. \nIn this webinar\, which will take place at 2 p.m. April 23\, Politico health care editor Joanne Kenen will help you sharpen your reporting and deepen your understanding of the Affordable Care Act and its impact on your community. \nYou will learn: \n•        How to interpret the latest enrollment figures for the health exchanges and Medicaid; \n•        Some tools for analyzing and fact-checking claims both sides make about the health law; \n•        Ideas for how to blend policy and narrative; \n•        What to watch for as states prepare for year two; \n•        And the 90 percent of the law that doesn’t hit the headlines – but should. \nWho should take this course? \nIf you are a reporter or an editor on a health\, business\, or politics beats\, and you want to get beyond the heated and confusing rhetoric and understand what the health law means to your community and where it’s heading\, you should take this course. \nJoanne Kenen is AHCJ’s topic leader on health reform and the health care editor of Politico/Politico Pro. She has covered health policy and health politics\, mostly in Washington\, since 1994 and has been at Politico since 2011. \nThis $29.95 Webinar is free thanks to the support of the McCormick Foundation.
