Please join the Alliance for Health Policy and our panel of experts for a webinar discussing Health Policy Impacts of the U.S. Census.

As decreed by the constitution, the United States must complete a census every ten years, and attempt to count every resident in the country. The census’s primary purpose is to apportion the number of seats for each state in the U.S. House of Representatives. However, the decennial count also shapes many health policy issues, including determining how billions of federal funds are distributed throughout the county, identifying historically underrepresented populations, and providing data sets for public health and health services researchers. This briefing will provide an overview of how census data is collected, analyzed, and utilized, with a particular focus on how this process impacts health policy and public health. Panelists will also highlight early insights from the 2020 census and discuss any opportunities and challenges policymakers should be aware of.

This keynote will examine the notion of meeting patient needs and expectations in novel settings using virtual clinical trials – ones that leverage digital health technologies such as online platforms, mobile apps, and remote monitoring devices to deliver trial elements to patients – as a case study. Our speaker will discuss the opportunities and challenges of deploying decentralized trials, and how this innovative approach may impact patient input and equitable access to the clinical research process.

This panel will explore successful mechanisms to support patients navigate the current, highly complex health care system and foster independence in decision making. Panelists will explore topics in care navigation, digital tools for patients, and shared decision making between patients and providers to personalize care, as well as how the patient voice is leveraged in developing these approaches.

Like many of us preparing to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, I’ve been reflecting on the challenges of the past year. This year more than ever, I am thankful for a caring family, meaningful work, and good health. Such things are never to be taken for granted, but during a time of ongoing uncertainty in our country, I find they have never been more precious. 

To you, our Alliance community, we express our thanks. As we worked to quickly respond to a rapidly evolving situation, you have come to the virtual table to learn alongside us. We thank the nearly 200 speakers, with diverse backgrounds and points of view, who joined us over the past eight months to shed light on the major scientific and societal questions arising from this pandemic. 

And to our growing audience, thank you for bringing your questions, your own expertise, and your compassion to these conversations. It is your engagement and curiosity that keeps us pushing forward.

We are grateful to those working on the front lines and behind the scenes to save lives, and for the ingenuity, creativity, and determination that will bring us to a better future. Our work is far from finished, but we will continue to persevere, together.

Best wishes for a safe and healthy Thanksgiving!

Sincerely,

President & CEO

Tomorrow, please join us for an online briefing to discuss Serving Low-Income Seniors: Lessons and the Impact of COVID-19.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionately negative impact on both low-income communities and seniors in the U.S. As the acute effects of COVID-19 are continuously felt, and we enter a challenging winter season for health, it is important to consider how best to serve the nation’s most vulnerable populations.This briefing will overview the complex ecosystem of federal, state, and private programs that coexist to integrate medical, long-term services and supports (LTSS), and social services for low-income seniors. Panelists will also highlight how the COVID-19 pandemic response has only made these efforts more complicated and present potential policy solutions, especially state-federal and public-private partnerships, to best serve this complex population.

Tomorrow, please join us for a webinar on Pandemic Flexibilities in Long-Term Care.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed both new and longstanding needs of long-term care patients. Congress and the administration modified over 200 Medicare regulations, which has afforded response flexibility to providers, Medicare Advantage plans, and Part D plans. But how do these flexibilities impact the long-term care sector? Experts will overview the recent changes, remaining gaps, and benefits and risks to long-term care patients, caregivers, providers, and payers. Panelists will discuss whether similar actions should be replicated in future public health emergencies and highlight policy options to bolster the long-term care system moving forward.
