Introduction
Welcome to the monthly newsletter. You can find past newsletters in my LinkedIn articles and on my website. They have some additional background materials with different stories and initiatives that might be of interest. My goal for the newsletter is to inform improved and coordinated initiatives that advance health, health equity and community and healthcare redesign.
This month you can read about: a federal contract employee whose husband’s life is put at risk by the government shut down; trends and initiatives in western New York, Arkansas and Memphis; the Institute for Medicaid Innovation report on social determinants and Medicaid Managed Care; A Health Affairs blog and Lund Report opinion on why current approaches to addressing living conditions are not enough; CVS and Kaiser investments; The two way relationship of public housing authorities and healthcare providers and insurers; two data initiatives — the SHELI project and Casenet’s integration of community services for Medicare advantage; The #1 JPMorgan takeaway and the NQF and Aetna foundation project to identify scalable approaches for improved living conditions.
Please share the newsletter and connect via LinkedIn or email kossoncare@starpower.net with your reactions and input.
