This fall, in the run-up to the midterm elections, a group of Catholic nuns, Protestant ministers and other religious leaders caravanned through South Dakota on what they called a “Love Your Neighbor Tour.” .

They stopped at grocery stores, restaurants, senior centers, libraries and other community gathering places to start conversations about health insurance. They heard story after story of family members, friends and neighbors struggling to afford quality health care.

The purpose of this tour: to build support for a ballot initiative to help more South Dakotans get the care they need.

Through such initiatives, citizens can circumvent elected officials who have become disconnected from their constituents.

In this year’s elections, voters in more than 30 states committed to this form of direct democracy. These voters raised taxes on the wealthy in Massachusetts and Los Angeles, funded universal preschool and child care in New Mexico, and clamped down on medical debt in Arizona.

In South Dakota, the “Love Your Neighbor” campaign won big. By a margin of 56 to 44, voters approved a proposal to force their state government to expand Medicaid eligibility, a move that will help about 42,500 working-class people get treatment.

These people earn too much to qualify for the state’s existing Medicaid program, but too little to access private insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Since 2010, the federal government has covered 90% of the costs when states expand Medicaid, but political leaders in South Dakota and 11 other states have refused to do so.

This isn’t the first time South Dakotans have used effective strategies of people-to-people organizing and ballot initiatives for the good of their neighbors.

In 2016, a bipartisan coalition with strong support from the faith community won a stunning victory against financial predators, winning 76% support for an election measure to impose a 36% cap on loan interest rates. on salary. Previously, those rates averaged around 600% in South Dakota, trapping many low-income families in a downward spiral of debt.

In this midterm election season, Nebraska offers another inspiring example of citizen action to circumvent out-of-touch politicians.

For 13 years now, Republicans in Congress have blocked efforts to raise the federal minimum wage, leaving it stuck at $7.25 since 2009. Nebraska’s entire congressional delegation — all Republicans — has always opposed the hikes minimum wage. Rep. Adrian Smith, for example, recently attacked President Biden’s $15 federal minimum proposal as “economically harmful.”

Nebraskans see the issue differently.

Voters there approved an increase in the state minimum wage to the same level Biden has proposed — $15 an hour — by 2026. The measure, which was accepted with 58% support, will mean bigger paychecks for about 150,000 Nebraskas.

The Sylvia Hack Boyer Center for Student Services recently received a special visit from its namesake.

Sylvia Hack Boyer and her husband, Tommy Boyer, recently visited the Counseling Center to learn about the program’s move to the Cordia Harrington Center of Excellence on campus, meet with counselors and tour the space.

The center offers counseling and coordinates all student success initiatives and services for undergraduate students in the College of Education and Health Professions. It was established in 1994 through a generous gift from the Boyers as a full service center for counseling, career guidance and support for undergraduate students in the care professions.

Syliva Hack Boyer was thrilled to see the expanded space and learn more about what the college counseling team is doing to help students. “We would like to express our thanks and gratitude to all of the staff working with the Boyer Center for Student Services,” she said. “During the visit, we were amazed to learn that the center now has a dedicated and talented staff of 20 serving our College of Education and Health Professions students. At its inception, we were housed in a small wing at Peabody Hall.

“Our gratitude goes to the excellent group of professionals who are the cornerstone of the Sylvia Hack Boyer Center for Student Services.”

Generous beginnings

Syliva Hack Boyer, a native of Alton, Illinois, earned a bachelor’s degree in education from the U of A in 1963. She taught at public schools in Fayetteville and Amarillo, Texas, and was an instructor at West Texas State University at Canyon. , Texas.

At U of A, Boyer was a founding member of the Old Main Society, the Chancellor’s Society, a member of the Razorback Foundation, and the National Development Council. She was president of the Arkansas Alumni Association in 1997-98 and chair of the Janelle Y. Hembree Alumni House Renovation Project and Campaign.

Their daughter Melissa Boyer, BSE’90, BSBA’91, is also a U of A graduate.

The Boyers have established seven on-campus scholarships from the Alumni Association, the Razorback Foundation, the School of Law, and the Colleges of Commerce and Education and Health Professions. They were casting gold limbs from the towers of Old Main. The university honored them as Volunteers of the Year in 1992, and they received the Distinguished Service Award from the Arkansas Alumni Association in 1999.

In 1989, the Boyers established reciprocal scholarships for each other as 25th wedding anniversary gifts. Sylvia Hack Boyer established the Thomas E. Boyer Scholarship at the College of Business, and her husband established the Sylvia Hack Boyer Scholarship at the College of Education and Health Professions as a gift for her. In 2022, 52 students received the scholarship. Wendy Orellana is this year’s recipient.

Helping Students Succeed

Total undergraduate enrollment at the College of Education and Health Professions so far this fall is 4,866. Boyer Center counselors have met with thousands of students in person, virtually or during walk-in meetings.

The center has also expanded its student success initiatives, including extended help desk hours and application workshops for competitive entry programs. In January 2022, the college’s Doctor of Occupational Therapy program partnered with the center to provide outreach services to first-year students on school probation. Ashlyn Elliott and Sarah Arenas, two PhD students, provided one-on-one services to help with goal setting and other skills students needed to succeed academically. As a result of this experience, the two graduate students continued to research and develop resources to help not only students on academic probation, but any COEHP undergraduate student. The Redefining Academic Performance program, piloted by Elliott and Arenas this fall, helps students identify and develop learning strategies, develop skills that enable them to achieve academic success, and create habits and balanced routines.

The Boyer Center is one of the first student success centers to use occupational therapy outside of disability services. “Advisors have been great to work with,” Arenas said. “Communicating, being and working with Assistant Dean Elizabeth McKinley and the Boyer Center for almost a year has given us the opportunity to work with the team to complement the services offered.

Sherry Muir, Founding President and Director of the Occupational Therapy Program, said, “The Boyer Center has provided our students with multiple incredible learning opportunities, including the current pilot projects of two doctoral students studying how their unique knowledge and skills in occupational therapy can contribute to the success and retention of U of A undergraduate and online students. We are grateful to Ms. Boyer and all center staff for their support.

While at CORD, students have various opportunities to seek support. In addition to tutoring services, students have access to a writing studio for assistance with course materials, scholarship essays, and academic assignments; a career studio where they can receive CV and cover letter review, interview advice and mock interviews; and academic peer coaching to help with exam preparation or note-taking strategies.

College students also have access to the 360 ​​program, which offers a holistic approach to supporting students academically, socially, financially and through wellbeing.

“Our team of advisors and specialists help students navigate their college experience, supporting them through graduation,” said Elizabeth McKinley, associate dean for student counseling and success. “The team also helps with planning and post-graduation success.”

A research letter available today in the JAMA Health Forum advocates for more rigorous security practices among EHR vendors.

COLUMBIA, MD., November 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Researchers from MedStar Health, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the University of Utah found that electronic health record (EHR) provider misconduct may have led to widespread use of suboptimal products for more than 70,000 clinicians across the country, as published today in the JAMA Health Forum. Six EHR vendors have been involved in settlements with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General’s Office and the U.S. Department of Justice alleging bribery and misrepresentation of product capabilities .

In addition to creating incentives for healthcare organizations to adopt the use of EHRs, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 held that EHR products should be certified as meeting the capability, functionality, and safety requirements adopted by HHS. Violation of this rule can result in complaints and in turn settlements with the DOJ, but unfortunately oversight is limited.

After reviewing every publicly available settlement related to EHR certification violations, MedStar Health researchers found that six EHR vendors had reached settlement agreements totaling more than $379.8 million, with four of the six vendors involved in settlements related to misrepresentation of product functionality to achieve certification. Based on data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid, it is estimated that more than 76,831 unique clinicians used these six providers during the complaints period.

“The widespread use of EHRs has helped providers and healthcare organizations better manage care for their patients. But what if providers can’t be sure that the EHR platform they’re using is safe, secure and can be used effectively? says Raj Ratwani, PhD., vice president of scientific affairs for the MedStar Health Research Institute, director of the MedStar Health National Center for Human Factors in Healthcare, and senior author of this article. “These data show that even a handful of examples of EHR provider misbehavior can have a significant impact on patient safety and how providers use these platforms.”

The story continues

Insights to make EHRs more secure

Today’s release builds on MedStar Health’s Human Factors team’s exploration of the role that EHR systems can play as a contributing factor to overall patient safety, including a study of 2018 which found that EHR use issues may have contributed to harmful events in some healthcare settings.

In addition to examining the design of EHRs, MedStar Health investigators sought to develop actionable solutions to help make EHRs more secure through two primary initiatives:

1) Develop resources for healthcare organizations to proactively monitor and identify opportunities to optimize the functionality of their EHR platform. More recently, this includes creating an assessment tool that can be used to assess alerting, data entry, and automation processes, as well as visual display.

2) Offer recommendations for higher security standards in the EHR market. Examples of this work include advocating for HHS to develop a national database for usability and safety reports and encouraging the Joint Commission to adopt accreditation requirements that would incentivize hospitals to implement EHR security best practices.

“The importance of our work in this area is that we can improve EHRs as a critical tool for healthcare facilities and patient safety at the same time,” Dr. Ratwani said. “While we have made incremental progress, success depends on greater transparency in the industry, as well as a shared commitment from governing bodies, health system customers and providers to work together to give the safety first.”

SOURCEMedStar Health

In a recent study published in Nature Communicationresearchers analyzed nationwide vaccination data and cycle cut-off data from four laboratories in Israel that perform quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) testing of respiratory syndrome coronavirus severe acute 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to determine the effect of vaccination-induced immunity on viral loads of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.

Background

Vaccine efficacy testing typically involves measuring neutralizing antibody titers and examining the protective effects of immune responses against infection and severe symptoms. Viral transmissibility determined by viral load is often overlooked. However, viral load has important implications for public health initiatives. Cycle cut-off values ​​from qRT-PCR assays, which are negatively correlated with viral load, can be used to determine viral variant transmissibility and infectivity.

Despite full vaccination and booster regimens among much of the population, Israel has seen a resurgence of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, prompting the administration of a fourth booster dose to healthcare workers, the elderly population and those at high risk. However, while studies have examined the impact of vaccination-induced immunity on Delta variant viral loads, the efficacy of vaccines in reducing Omicron variant viral loads remains unexplored.

About the study

In the current study, researchers conducted a retrospective analysis using vaccination data and positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test records, including cycle cutoff values ​​from four major Israeli laboratories in the Organization. of maintaining health. Multiple positive tests for the same individual over a 90-day period were considered a single infection.

Demographic information was combined with encrypted PCR test results and vaccination data to provide each patient’s vaccination status, cycle cutoff, age and gender. Patients were then grouped by vaccination status at infection event, with vaccination status at infection defined as unvaccinated, two doses with infection within 10–39, 40–69, or more than 70 days after second dose, three doses with infection within 10-39, 40-69 or more than 70 days after third dose, four doses and unvaccinated with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The follow-up period was also divided according to the dominant variant of SARS-CoV-2, with the period from June 15 to December 1, 2021 being the period of dominance of the Delta variant, and from December 28, 2021 to January 29, 2022, being the period of Omicron dominance.

Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed for cycle cutoffs with vaccination status, age, gender, calendar time, and laboratory used as covariates. The analysis was also conducted separately for PCR assays that amplified the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid gene and those that measured the envelope gene.

Results

The results indicated that while the vaccines reduced viral loads of the Omicron variant in the short term, the effect of the vaccine on cycle thresholds was not long lasting. In contrast, immunity induced by previous SARS-CoV-2 infections declined less slowly.

During Delta variant dominance, two doses of vaccine produced a three-fold decrease in viral loads compared to unvaccinated patients, but efficacy of the second dose declined by day 70, with cycle threshold values ​​of patients with two doses being the same as those of unvaccinated patients. The first booster dose (third vaccine) showed a similar trend, with cycle thresholds being high in the short term but decreasing by day 70.

Cycle cutoff values ​​for PCR testing during the Omicron period increased in response to a recent third dose of vaccine, but were not significantly different for unvaccinated, two-dose, and late three-dose patients. The results indicated that the effect of vaccination-induced immunity was weaker for the Omicron variant than for the Delta variant.

The analysis was conducted separately for elderly patients who received the fourth dose of vaccine. The results revealed an increase in cycle threshold values ​​for these patients, with values ​​comparable to those of patients who had already been infected with SARS-CoV-2 and significantly higher than those of unvaccinated patients. The fourth dose was found to be effective in the short term in reducing viral load.

conclusion

In summary, the study compared vaccination status to the cycle threshold values ​​of positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests of patients who had an infection during the dominance of the Delta and Omicron variants.

The results indicated that the immune effect of the vaccine on viral loads decreased by day 70 for the primary and booster doses. In comparison, immunity induced by previous SARS-CoV-2 infections waned much more slowly. A fourth booster dose showed significant protective effects and a reduction in viral load, with cycle threshold values ​​comparable to those of patients with previous infections.

While vaccinations have been extremely effective in reducing morbidity and mortality, the waning effect on reducing virus transmissibility necessitates a reassessment of vaccination campaigns.

• Proposition 30 would raise personal income taxes to create a fund for clean cars and clean air.
• Proponents say the measure will help reduce greenhouse gases and clean California’s air.
• Opponents say it is a ploy by ride-sharing companies to avoid paying for their electric vehicle transition.

A “yes” to California’s Proposition 30 will raise personal income taxes for high-income residents to fund incentives for electric vehicles, expand access to charging stations and fund training more firefighters during California’s increasingly tumultuous wildfire seasons.

Ballot Details

Proposition 30 would raise personal income tax by 1.75% for those earning more than $2 million a year to create a clean cars and clean air fund separate from the general fund of the State.

The text of the proposal says the fund’s main purpose is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from two of the state’s biggest contributors – transportation and wildfires. The Office of the State Legislative Analyst estimates an increase of $3.5 billion to $5 billion per year in funding for climate change initiatives.

Most of the money from the fund would go to help individuals, businesses and governments buy zero-emission vehicles, while the rest would go towards building more charging stations across the state and forest fire preparedness and response, with an emphasis on training and hiring. firefighters.

The tax increase would take effect in January 2023 and end in 20 years — or when the state reduces greenhouse gas levels to 80% below 1990 levels for three consecutive calendar years, according to the bureau. of the state analyst.

Support and Opposition

Yes out of 30 includes a coalition of environmental and health groups, the California Democratic Party and ride-sharing company Lyft.

Proponents argue that a measure like this is needed to help clean California’s air — especially in low-income communities — and divest from fossil fuels to fight climate change. They also say the move will make it easier for low-income Californians to access electric vehicles by partially paying for new vehicle purchases.

No of 30 includes Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, the California Republican Party, the California Teacher’s Association, the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Hawaii State Conference NAACP.

Opponents say the ballot is a self-interest measure that will benefit ride-sharing companies such as Lyft, which are now required by the California Air Resources Board to ensure 90% of their vehicle miles are electric by 2030.

The rule did not specify who should cover the costs of this transition. Companies such as Lyft and Uber called on the state to provide drivers with subsidies to purchase new electric vehicles while activists called on ride-sharing companies to shoulder the burden, CalMatters reported in 2021.

The state also argues that the tax will take money out of the state’s general fund, used to spend everything from education to health care.

Proponents, however, deny the funds would specifically benefit Lyft.

The race for money

According to Ballotpedia, more than $37.1 million was donated in support of the measure, while more than $12 million was donated in opposition.

According to OpenSecrets, the main financial contributors for or against the proposal are Lyft, a coalition of ride-sharing companies, and labor and environmental groups.

In the space of just one month, four universities have unveiled plans to launch $500 million global fundraising campaigns. This is another indication that despite strong economic headwinds, universities – both public and private – continue to pursue ever more ambitious fundraising goals.

On October 6, the University of Texas at San Antonio announced the public phase of its Be Bold: A Campaign for Our Futuree.

At a Distinguished Alumni Honors Dinner Oct. 20, New Dominion University President Brian O. Hemphill revealed the Focused on the future: for dreams and beyond.

On October 28, Marian University, a private Catholic university in Indianapolis, announced a $500 million fundraising campaign – Journey to 2030: always forward.

And finally, this week, Xavier University of Louisiana announced its Press forward, fear not, a $500 million campaign, the largest ever at the historically black and Catholic University of New Orleans which is approaching its centennial.

Here’s a summary of what’s known about the four campaigns so far.

University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA)

The “silent phase” of UTSA’s campaign began in 2017. According to the university, it has already raised $311 million in donations and pledges. The campaign focuses on raising funds for undergraduate scholarships, graduate scholarships, endowed academic positions, special programs, and capital projects across the university’s campus network. .

Since the start of the campaign, more than 39,446 donors have made 116,000 donations and pledges.

Regional analysis

North America will capture the largest revenue share of more than 35.0% in 2021 due to the presence of major players, growing adoption of mHealth and EHR, and increased investment in patient engagement software by key players. Moreover, increased awareness associated with public spending in the health sector is expected to accelerate growth. Europe has its second-largest share in 2021, driven by publicly funded schemes such as the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). For example, the NHS plans to go completely paperless by 2020 and allow patients to access its EHR from 2018.

Driver: Favorable government regulations and initiatives to promote adoption of HCIT solutions

Growing patient demand for quality care is driving healthcare systems around the world to adopt modern technologies that help reduce costs, improve quality of care and reduce administrative inefficiencies. This ensures access to a better patient experience platform for all hospitals. The HITECH Act establishes its ONC and authorizes the US Department of Health and Human Services to establish programs to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of health care through advances in health informatics. Initiatives like this should drive the adoption of technological solutions for the patient experience.

Opportunity: Proven Benefits of Patient Experience Solutions in Improving Hospital Financial Performance

Payers looking for better value are also helping hospitals focus on the patient experience. Programs like Medicare’s Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) program reward hospitals financially for better patient notification. As a result, patient experience scores for a variety of factors, such as nighttime noise levels and doctor-nurse communication skills, have become key performance indicators for hospitals.

Benefits for clinics and hospitals (providers)/payers

• Increased patient satisfaction and experience
• Improved clinical outcomes and quality of care
• More timely appointments and reduced no-show rate
• Assistance in meeting Meaningful Use (MU) criteria
• Reduction in hospital readmission rates
• Increased patient retention
• Reduce overall cost

Benefits for patients

• Easy Access to Health Information – Patients can easily access medical information anytime, anywhere through technology or patient engagement platform
• Easy communication between patient and provider – Electronic visits and secure messaging help patients communicate with providers using their mobile devices.
• Monitor treatment progress effortlessly – Patients can view and share their medical records and get test results on their mobile devices
• Increased patient satisfaction: better understanding of care through PES; the value-based care plan functionality built into EPS allows patients to pay primarily for the value of care received.

NEW YORK (WABC) — Some people across the tri-state are getting medical bills for old COVID tests they took years ago. This is a problem that affects people who had insurance, not those who were uninsured.

“I waited in line forever,” said David Brouillette.

The New York resident remembers queuing in the cold at CityMD on W. 88th Street to take a COVID test before taking his first trip after the pandemic lockdown. He went upstate with friends to see the fall colors.

“We were all locked inside, we didn’t know when the vaccine would come and we wanted to be safe,” he said. “I kind of forgot about it, until maybe a month ago.”

He forgot about it, until a bill from CityMD arrived.

“I had to check the date a few times,” said Brouillette. “It definitely shocked me.”

It was a $219 bill from October 2020. The leaves have changed color twice since then.

He is not alone. Dozens of people have taken to social media to complain about their bills, some reaching $300.

“I’m crazy,” he said. “I’m still angry.”

7 On Your Side Investigates contacted CityMD several times to sit down and answer our specific questions. Instead, they sent a statement saying, in part, that they waited more than two years to send the test invoices.

“CityMD retained all COVID-related patient reports from March 2020 through June 2022 as we worked closely with insurance companies and monitored rapidly changing guidelines.”

The statement went on to say that the company “…began to release statements based on feedback we received from insurance plansas not all insurance products are eligible for the cost-sharing exemption.”

In Brouillette’s case, he said emergency care billed him for an “office visit” instead of a COVID-19 test, which his insurance would have covered.

“And I said it didn’t seem fair because I didn’t have a visit to the office, I took a test and they said ‘oh, that’s how we do it,'” said scramble.

CityMD also told 7 On Your Side Investigates in a statement that it was urgent care and “not a COVID-19 testing site,” even though New York City has partnered with the company to become a main test center.

Former New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio announced the partnership during a daily press briefing and thanked the company for its partnership.

And while many city and state leaders, like former Governor Andrew Cuomo, continued to talk about “no cost” testing during the height of the pandemic, the de Blasio alum said the CityMD partnership was free for the uninsured, he said nothing. about what would happen to those who have insurance.

“It’s amazing, how can this happen?” said Elisabeth Ryden Benjamin, vice president of health initiatives for the Community Service Society. This is a group fighting for affordable health care and against bills like the ones Brouillette received.

“There’s really no reason for this to happen,” said Ryden Benjamin. “The guidelines are pretty clear that there should be no balance billing for COVID-19 testing.”

She says the Community Service Society has received similar complaints not only about CityMD, but other testing facilities as well.

As for Brouillette, he will continue to fight.

“They told me they were going to send it to collections,” says the 25-year-old.

He filed a complaint with the New York Attorney General. The office told him they were investigating.

Here is the full statement sent by CityMD regarding this story:

To protect the privacy of our patients, we cannot share specific patient information without valid HIPAA permissions.

As noted on our patient website, the Public Health Emergency (PHE) is extended until January 11, 2023. Co-payments on commercially insured patients for COVID-19 related visits will not be collected at the time of service, but depending on their specific insurance plan and benefits, they may receive a balance after discharge.

CityMD retained all COVID-related patient reports from March 2020 through June 2022 as we worked closely with insurance carriers and monitored rapidly changing guidelines. On June 23, CityMD began issuing statements based on feedback we received from insurance plans, as not all insurance products are eligible for the cost-sharing waiver. As a result, patients were billed for care received from March 2020 to present.

Notably, CityMD is not a COVID-19 testing site, but rather an urgent care facility that can assess, treat, and prescribe necessary medications for people with symptoms of COVID-19. We are proud to meet a vital need for our communities.
