Wednesday, September 18, 2024 | The Latest Research, Commentary, and News from Health Affairs
Dear John,
ICYMI, Health Affairs held a virtual briefing on August 19 exploring the significance of recent nursing home developments for residents, their families, and the future of long-term care.
Revisit the briefing below that highlighted the latest developments and policy implications for nursing homes.
Health care and health policy continue to be talking points on both sides of the aisle leading into the 2024 presidential election.
Today's topic is antitrust enforcement issues and policy.
Antitrust is an increasingly political issue as the FTC increases its scrutiny over mergers and potential monopolies.
Both the current and former administrations have used lawsuits to tackle antitrust activity.
For example, the Trump administration filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google while the Biden administration blocked a number of health care mergers and updated the federal government’s merger guidelines.
Below, we have gathered together journal and Forefront articles as well as podcasts published by Health Affairs that offer rigorous, evidence-based perspectives on the health care issues and challenges facing policymakers, practitioners, and citizens.
As part of our Practice of Medicine series, the forum will feature researchers diving into their latest findings on the topic and other experts in the field discussing telehealth, primary care, and the policy choices facing lawmakers and health care leaders.
Confirmed speakers include:
Carter Nakamoto, Stanford University
Ateev Mehrotra, Brown University
Mei Kwong, Center for Connected Health Policy
Gillian Steelfisher, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Ripley Hollister, The Physicians Foundation
Jiani Yu, Cornell University
