Immunization

Video Player Close MANILA, March 29 (Xinhua) -- The World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Friday that recent measles outbreaks in the Western Pacific region are putting babies, children and young people at risk again and threatening progress in efforts to wipe out the most contagious human disease. "In recent months, we've seen how swiftly and easily measles can make a comeback in communities where not enough children have been immunized," WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific Takeshi Kasai said. The U.N. health agency recorded a 250 percent increase of measles cases in the region in 2018, and more than two-thirds of cases were in the Philippines. "The resurgence of measles around the world has resulted in increased importation of the virus to several countries in our region," Kasai said. "What we want to stop is large-scale outbreaks resulting from those importations," Kasai said, stressing the need to aggressively implement a vac...

CA and RI Adopt Health Insurance Mandates - The National Law Review

- August 30, 2019

Friday, August 30, 2019 On July 2, 2019, and July 5, 2019, California and Rhode Island , respectively, each adopted an individual health insurance mandate. The laws require residents in those states, beginning on January 1, 2020, to have qualified health insurance coverage or owe a penalty. Beginning in 2021, employers will have reporting obligations under those laws. Massachusetts, New Jersey , Vermont, and the District of Columbia already have individual health insurance mandates. Other states, including Connecticut, Hawaii, Minnesota, and Washington, are considering such mandates. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) effectively repealed the federal individual mandate. While a ruling that the post-TCJA Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) is unconstitutional in its entirety is being challenged, the ACA remains enforceable law. Employers may be able to leverage existing ACA-required forms, unless and until they are changed, to satisfy their ...

How Do You Measure Quality in Health Care? - Forbes

- June 25, 2019

"Patient-Centered Care" Matthew Hayward & Sachin Jain “That which is essential is invisible to the eyes.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince . [1] As someone who leads an integrated health care delivery system, this is a question I frequently find myself asking. The obvious answer, of course, is to develop measurements based on treatment protocols. Of which we have plenty. It seems these days that we have a measurement and documentation requirement for just about everything. In fact, quality measurement in health care has become an industry unto itself. Hospitals and health care systems across the country pay a lot of money to have their quality of care scrutinized and, hopefully, lauded, by a number of companies that charge them for such assessments. In many cases, those assessments are valuable. Nevertheless, I began to think about the value of measurement after exchanging some emails with my friend and college mentor, Deborah Stone. Deborah is a ...
