Letter from the Editor: Highlighting racial disparities in mental healthcare – Medical News Today

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

As a white person living in the United Kingdom, Ive been blind to the glaring racism that continues to happen all around us.

Were in the 21st century, and Ive been going about my day-to-day life wearing rose colored glasses. While racism should be a thing of the past, the sad reality is that its very much the present.

In the United States, Black people are almost five times more likely to report being unfairly stopped by the police because of their race or ethnicity than white people.

Black people in the U.S. are also up to 2.5 times more likely than white people to be killed by police. This is shocking, and the sad truth is that statistics like these will come as no surprise to Black communities.

On a personal level, these past few weeks have made me realize that I need to do much more to help address systemic racism. It starts with educating myself on the issues that Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) are facing every day.

As a health media company, we have to do more. We need to bring the problem of health inequity to the fore. Weve neglected to do this in the past, but its something weve vowed to address going forward.

In line with BIPOC Mental Health month this July, one of our main focus areas has been raising awareness of the disparities that these people face when it comes to accessing mental healthcare.

Earlier this month, we investigated the issue of racism in mental healthcare and why its preventing marginalized ethnic groups from receiving the care that they need.

According to Nathan Greene, Psy.D. one of Medical News Todays expert advisors African Americans, Latinx, and Asian Americans receive treatment of mental health challenges at 5070% lower rates than white Americans in this country. This is the result of failures on individual and systemic levels.

In another article, we looked at how postpartum depression is disproportionately affecting women of color and why these women have lower rates of treatment.

As Prof. Tiffany Green, an assistant professor in the Departments of Population Health Sciences and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told MNT, greater stigma associated with mental health in communities of color and lack of patient-provider racial/ethnic concordance are likely causes of this issue.

Other topics weve covered this month include racial trauma and anxiety in Black communities.

By highlighting these topics, were hoping to raise awareness of them and build conversations around them. We want to play our part in breaking down the racist barriers to mental healthcare and all areas of healthcare.

To all our readers of color: Were here for you, and we want to do more. Is there a health topic youd like us to cover? Send us an email at editors@medicalnewstoday.com. You can also reach out to us on Facebook and Twitter.

Ill be back next month with the latest on what weve been doing at MNT.

Until then, we wish you a happy and healthful August.

Local health care workers and community leaders write letter to community asking people to take preventative measures to stay safe during the COVID-19…

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

Posted: Jul 29, 2020 / 10:55 AM EDT / Updated: Jul 29, 2020 / 01:33 PM EDT

Local health care workers and community leaders have teamed up to write a letter to the community asking people to take preventative measures to stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The letter to the community, signed by eight physicians and leaders representing the regions various health systems, as well as Melissa Lyon from the health department, asks people of the region to do the following:

Wear protective masks whenever youre around others and wear them correctly (cover your nose and mouth) do it for yourself, and do it for others.

Wash your hands and clean high-touch surfaces often make it a habit.

Practice physical distancing everywhere, staying six feet apart.

If you have symptoms that you think could be COVID-19 or a respiratory illness, stay home and call your doctor.

If you feel you may have been exposed to COVID-19, but have no symptoms, stay at home and call your doctor. That allows the best planning for possible testing and care.

Finally, be kind to each other. A little more thoughtfulness, understanding, and tolerance for the inconveniences we are experiencing may be the best medicine of all.

This isnt Nazi Germany: Health care prover lets patients choose whether to wear masks – BRProud.com

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

by: Brady Wakayama, KRQE and Nexstar Media Wire

(Credit: Courtesy of Andre Hunter)

ROSWELL, N.M. (KRQE) In shocking defiance of a statewide mandate, a New Mexico health care provider has posted a sign outside his clinic saying patients do not have to wear a mask.

Krasimir Hristov, a nurse practitioner who owns and runs Reinecke Medical and Chiropractic in Roswell, compared the current public health order to Nazi Germany and said he believes masks are useless against the virus.

The sign outside the clinic reads, This isnt Nazi Germany and we arent the Gestapo. If you do or do not want to wear a mask you are still welcome here.

When we enforce our rule on people, that is a dictatorship, said Hristov. When we have the freedom to inform people so they can make an educated decision, thats democracy.

Hristov, who has owned the medical center since 2013, said his own research shows masks are proven useless against airborne viruses.

Your eyes are very much exposed regardless of what kind of mask you have, said Hristov. So when people come in and they have a mask and their eyes are exposed, basically what that means they still have an open portal of entry where the virus could get in.

That advice goes against the guidance from the World Health Organization,the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and New Mexicos top doctor, Dr. David Scrase.

Scrase, New Mexicos human services secretary,said wearing a mask both protects people and helps prevent the spread of COVID-19.

If you had to have an upcoming surgery, how comfortable would you feel with your operating team not wearing masks or not wearing gloves, said Scrase. I havent run into anybody yet who would feel comfortable with that kind of scenario.

The New Mexico Human Services Department responded to Hirstovs sign by email, saying in part:All New Mexicans are required to wear masks at this time, especially when visiting medical clinics. It is shocking that a medical provider would encourage their patients not to wear masks and blatantly put them at risk of contracting COVID-19.

The department said violators could face criminal and/or civil penalties.

Hristov still doesnt think masks should be a requirement. People are exposed to the virus or to peoples germs no matter where they go, he said.

Last week, the city of Roswell voted not to enforce the states mask requirement. However, the New Mexico Department of Health and the State Police are still enforcing the mandate.

VA Health Care: VA Needs to Continue to Strengthen Its Oversight of Quality of State Veterans Homes – Government Accountability Office

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

What GAO Found

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) pays over $1 billion a year to state veterans homes (SVH)homes owned and operated by the statesto provide nursing home care to approximately 20,000 veterans. In fiscal year 2019, VA paid SVHs $1.17 billion for an average daily census of 20,072 veterans (51 percent of the total veterans receiving nursing home care through VA). Further, VA projects its payments to SVHs will continue to increase; VA projects it will pay $1.7 billion to SVHs to provide care to veterans in fiscal year 2022.

VA oversees the quality of care veterans receive at SVHs mainly through annual inspections that VA hires a contractor to perform. In its July 2019 report, GAO found that VA's SVH contractor performed the required annual inspections for all SVHs in 2018, but VA needed to take action to enhance its oversight of SVHs and to ensure that information on quality of care provided in this setting is publicly available to veterans. Specifically, GAO found the following:

Veteranslike over a million other Americansrely on nursing home care to help meet their health needs. For eligible veterans whose health needs require skilled nursing and personal care, VA provides or pays for nursing home care in three nursing home settings: the VA-owned and -operated community living centers, public- or privately owned community nursing homes, and state-owned and -operated SVHs. In fiscal year 2019, VA provided or paid for nursing home care for over 39,000 veterans. The majority of these veterans received care at SVHs.

This statement summarizes the GAO's July 2019 report, GAO-19-428 , with a focus on issues related to SVHs. Specifically, it describes the: (1) use of and expenditures for SVHs, (2) inspections used by VA to assess the quality of SVH care and VA's oversight of the inspection process, and (3) information VA provides publicly on the quality of SVH care. As part of that work GAO analyzed VA data on expenditures for SVHs and interviewed VA officials. For this statement GAO reviewed expenditure and utilization data for fiscal year 2019.

In its July 2019 report, GAO made three recommendations related to SVHs, including that VA require that all failures to meet quality standards are cited as deficiencies on SVH inspections. VA concurred with two recommendations and concurred in principle with the third. VA has addressed one recommendation and continued attention is needed to address the two remaining recommendations.

Envision Healthcare Releases New Policy White Paper: The Future of Virtual Health – Business Wire

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Envision Healthcare, a leading national medical group, released a new policy white paper today on virtual health. The white paper details Envisions rapid escalation of virtual health services in response to COVID-19, the benefits of this technology as the healthcare system navigates patient care going forward, and the need for policymakers to adopt permanent reforms that allow clinicians to deliver safe and effective care through virtual health services.

The COVID-19 pandemic is far from over, and as healthcare providers, its our job to adapt to the new normal so we can continue providing high-quality care to patients, said Matthew Bush, MD, President of Integrated Markets and Virtual Health at Envision. During this pandemic and beyond, virtual health services will be critical to protecting patients and providers, increasing access to specialists, reducing costs while maintaining the quality of care, and reducing healthcare disparities for underserved patients. Virtual health is a tool that should be available to every provider, and we need the policies that allow clinicians to best care for patients to become permanent.

Prior to COVID-19, virtual health has been largely inaccessible in the U.S. According to the American Medical Association, only 15 percent of physicians routinely used virtual health technology in 2016. In response to COVID-19, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services adopted temporary reforms to expand virtual health. Envisions white paper calls for those reforms to be made permanent.

Since the expansion of virtual health services enabled by CMS, Envision clinicians and health professionals have delivered more than 118,000 virtual health visits in the acute setting (e.g., emergency, intensive care, surgical) and more than 100,000 virtual office visits.

The full white paper is available here.

Virtual health has been a significant part of Envisions commitment to patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Envision has taken a series of actions to respond to sharp increases in COVID-19 patients and protect and support its clinicians on the front lines that also include:

PDH health care provider shares her COVID symptoms and remedies – Plumas County Newspapers

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

Editors note: This is the story of a health care provider who works at Plumas District Hospital. She tested positive for COVID-19, but is not included in the Plumas County case count, because her primary residence is in El Dorado County. She agreed to share her story so that others could learn from her coronavirus experience and what she did to fight it. She declined to be named out of privacy concerns for herself and others who travel to work at the hospital. She is a woman in her mid-40s, who, for the purposes of this story, will be called Mandy. Plumas News conducted a phone interview with her Sunday, July 26, roughly a month after her first symptoms and diagnosis.

By Debra Moore

[emailprotected]

It was a typical Monday morning, June 29, when Mandy took a bite of a nectarine while driving to work at Plumas District Hospital. Thats strange, she thought. I cant taste it. Nor could she taste her strong espresso coffee.

She called the hospital to report what she knew could be a symptom of coronavirus, and was told to come in and she would be assessed. Staff met her at the entrance to the emergency room where she was screened, tested, and sent home to await her results. Late that afternoon, she received the news: Positive.

Mandy at that time had no fever, no cough, no chest congestion none of the classic symptoms except for the lack of taste and extreme exhaustion. She had fallen asleep as she awaited the results in her studio apartment in Quincy, and didnt realize it until the phone rang.

Mandy works seven days on at the hospital (she works a shift, and is on call 24 hours) and seven days off. On her off days she resides in South Lake Tahoe and thats where she headed when she received the news. Because her primary residence is in El Dorado County, Plumas County handed her case off officially to that county, but local staff remained in contact with her. I had everyone checking on me, she said. There was lots of communication.

Once home, she prepared to battle the virus. She said the unsettling part of this disease is that its progression can vary so widely. During the worst of it, she wrote a will of sorts.

Mandy called a friend and asked him to go grocery shopping for her. Her list included: veggies, fruit, garlic, fresh ginger, tissues, orange juice, green juices, Echinacea, soup, oatmeal, a thermometer which he left on her front porch.

Her freezer already contained her favorite remedy homemade flu soup a bone broth made with onions, fennel, thyme and garlic.

I went full hippie, she said of her approach to fighting the virus. She downed elderberry syrup every three hours and copious amounts of garlic (both cooked and raw) and drank lots of juices infused with fresh ginger.

I did the silver, she said, as well as Vitamins D and B, fish oil, zinc, spirulina, calcium and matcha green tea. (A supplement that she used ACF Buried Treasure included the zinc, silver and more.) She also used Mucinex to relieve congestion in her lungs and sucked on Smith Brothers lozenges.

When asked if ingesting all of the vitamins, supplements and other items bothered her stomach, she just laughed and said, I have an iron stomach, and then named some of the countries that she has visited and the odd foods that she has eaten. In addition, during her three-year stint in the Navy, she took the SERE (survival, evasion, resistance and escape) training required for those going behind enemy lines, which led to her eating some interesting things also without issue.

As a healthcare provider Mandy is used to charting, and she logged her own symptoms to view their progression.

The Monday onset came with the losses of taste and smell, ear ringing and extreme fatigue.

On day two, those symptoms persisted and then came the body aches. I woke up with the most excruciating pain in my hips and legs, she said. She also noted that her temperature was 96.3 degrees. (She never recorded a high fever. In fact her temperature dropped to the 96-degree range for a few days before moving into the 97-degree range.)

Wednesday, after taking some pain relievers, she slept for 13 hours.

By Thursday, she had a little more energy and described having a tiny bit of taste.

On Friday she had a little more energy, but developed a slight cough. She could smell cinnamon and hot sauce.

But by Saturday, I couldnt get off the sofa, she said. She used a neti pot (a device to clear sinuses) and slept all day.

Sunday she rebounded. I felt good, could taste better.

Monday she was exhausted. I tried walking my dog, but could only go three doors down, she said.

After that setback, she began to slowly improve and recover her energy. (Many who contract coronavirus say that the trajectory to recovery is not linear; that it tracks up and down just as Mandy experienced.) As her initial symptoms began to resolve, her respiratory issues emerged with a slight cough that persists. While she considers herself one of the lucky ones with fairly mild symptoms, she doesnt want to experience this again.

Darker moments

When asked if she had been scared, Mandy admitted that she had been at times. She had read the stories of people who seemingly improved only to crash and need hospitalization. She put some of her personal affairs in order ensuring her mother would be cared for and developing a plan to send her friends to some of her favorite places around the globe.

While she didnt experience the delirium and hallucinations that some virus victims do, she did admit to fuzzy thinking.

During her illness she relied on a website for healthcare workers with coronavirus and on her friends who continued to put food on her doorstep and take her dog for long walks.

Immunity

Now that Mandy has had the virus, she is curious about her immunity. To date, available research has shown that immunity might not last for more than a few months and that worries her.

The lab director at Plumas District Hospital has taken an interest in her case and is drawing Mandys blood on a regular basis to test it for types and levels of immunity.

Mandy is also participating in a study for antibodies being conducted at Renown Medical Center in Reno.

Where did she get it?

Mandy points to three times when she thinks it could have been possible. I was a little lax with the mask on June 20 and 21, and 23, she said, explaining that the first two days she was at the beach trying to social distance, and on the latter she attended a patio lunch with friends. I wore a mask until my food came, she said, and as far as she knows, she didnt pass it to anyone else.

She knows contracting the virus depends on level of exposure, and though she still isnt sure where she contracted it, she suspects it was during one of those three occasions.

Final thoughts

Mandy is back at work and her energy level has returned. She is extremely grateful for all of the health care professionals from El Dorado and Plumas who checked in on her during her illness, as well the staff at Plumas District Hospital. Plumas (the hospital) has the most supportive people, she said and described all that they did to ensure that she continued to be paid and that her symptoms improved.

Withings raises $60 million to bridge the gap between consumer tech and healthcare providers – TechCrunch

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

Since being re-acquired from Nokia in 2018 by a group including its original founders and some of its original investors, health tech company Withings has been focused on evolving their offering of consumer health hardware to provide medical-grade data that can be shared with, and leveraged by, healthcare professionals to deliver better, more personalized care. The company has now raised another $60 million to continue pursuing that goal, a Series B funding round co-led by Glide Healthcare, along with existing Withings investors IDinvest Partners, Bpfrance and BNP Paribas Dveloppement, ODDO BHF and Adelie Capital.

Withings will use the funds to ramp up its MED PRO division, a part of the business formed last year that focuses on the companys B2B efforts, placing its medical-grade consumer health devices in programs and deployments managed by medical professionals, health institutions, insurance payers, researchers and more.

In an interview, Withings CEO Mathieu Letombe explained that following the re-acquisition of the company, the team set out to pivot slightly in regards: First, the company would only focus on medical-grade products and services from here on out, something that Letombe said was done at least in part because of how crowded the general wellness tech category has become, and in part because players like Apple had really, in their view, made the most of that category with their Apple Watch and other health features.

The second was to shift on their business side to better address the B2B market primarily due to inbound requests to do so.

We were getting a lot of requests from the healthcare industry, Letombe told me. And by the healthcare industry I mean major healthcare programs, like the diabetes prevention program, the hypertension program. Also hospitals, insurers and pharma, so we decided to dig into it and we saw the there was a huge demand for medical connected devices from this world.

According to Letombe, Withings was well-positioned to address this need, and had an advantage over other traditional medical device suppliers for enterprise and industry. The companys DNA was in building accurate, user-friendly devices to help them keep an eye on their well-being at home, and so they put their focus on evolving those products so that the results they provide pass the standards of governing medical device regulatory bodies around the world.

Withings special advantage in this pursuit was that it knew very well how to build products that customers want to use, and have opted to pay out of pocket for in the past. Most medical equipment for at-home monitoring that comes from a payer or a healthcare institution hasnt had to face the challenges and focusing rigor of the consumer technology market, and its foisted upon users, not selected by them from a field of choices. Letombe says that this consumer edge is what has helped Withings with its B2B business, and notes that both sides of the market will continue to be of equal importance to the company going forward.

The company had been turning its attention to building out a suite of products, from smart blood pressure monitors, to scales that measure body fat percentage, to contactless thermometers and much more, long before there was any hint of the current COVID-19 pandemic, obviously. But that demand from the healthcare industry has stepped up considerably in the wake of the coronavirus, which has accelerated plans from insurers, care providers and healthcare pros to develop and deploy remote care capabilities and services.

We also got a ton of requests from a company that wanted to create back-to-work packages, where there was a thermometer or a scale or blood pressure monitor for them to help the employee understand if they are at risk for COVID, Letombe said, noting that the B2B opportunities the company has seen extend beyond the healthcare industry itself.

Image Credits: Withings

To assist with its new medical B2B focus, Withings has also formed a Medical Advisory Board, which Letombe says theyve actually been working with for a year but that theyre only announcing publicly alongside this funding. The board includes Mayo Clinic Platform President, Dr. John Halamka; former head of Clinical Pharmacology in Hpital Europen, Georges Pompidou; Dr. Stphane Laurent; and former head of Clinical Innovation at Pfizer Craig Lipset top medical professionals across respected institutions and one of the largest therapeutics companies in the world.

Letombe notes that Withings also has a number of medical physicians and professionals on staff, as well as a psychologist and a physicist, and so theyre involved in building the products themselves throughout their design and creation, rather than just validating their results after the fact.

Withings would seem to be in a great position to address not only the growing need for connected medical monitoring tools, but also to understand exactly what makes those products work for consumers, and become something they actively want to use as part of their lifestyle. This new $60 million round is a vote of confidence in that strategy, and in its ability to become something bigger and still more ambitious.

Telehealth may offer alternative to in-person healthcare – Fort Bragg Advocate-News

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

FORT BRAGG Johns Hopkins University recently reported 397,870 COVID-19 cases in California as of Monday. Hospitals all over the state are overwhelmed with the increase of cases.

To reduce the impact of patient surges, the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention has recommended that health care facilities switch to virtual health care by using Telehealth facilities for non-emergency appointments. Telehealth is a way to speak with your doctor or health care provider through electronic devices, such as computers, iPads or smartphones in the comfort of your own home

The Advocate-News spoke with local physical therapist Mona Lisa Perez at Pacific Physical Therapy to talk about what telehealth is and how it can be utilized here on the coast.

Its even more critical for people to be able to be seen with healthcare and still be able to stay in the safety of their home, Perez said.

Perez spoke to the Advocate-News about the specifics about telehealth, and the variety of services it offers.

Answers have been lightly edited for space.

The patient gets a referral or prescription from their doctor, thats all thats needed from their insurance to cover the visit. And most insurance nowadays covers telehealth, but its always best to check with your insurance first. Once you have that referral, they fax it to my clinic and then make my clinic alert me that the patient wants to be seen for telehealth physical therapy. I give them a call just to screen them, find out exactly whats going on and if they are a good fit for telehealth. Then what happens next is, I will send them a link to the portal and its HIPAA compliance, which means that all the information that is exchanged is completely confidential and private.

To get insurance coverage, youll need a prescription or referral from a medical provider, sufficient network internet, video/audio capability on your laptop, iPad or smartphone, microphone either built-in, or with earphones, and sign up to the portal service or video conferencing apps such as Zoom, Facetime.

If you want to have insurance coverage, yes. There are also options where patients can self-pay, and a lot of physical therapists are switching to that model now where patients who dont have access to good insurance are now doing self-pay.

So for example, data such as lab test results, medical images, such as x-rays MRI or cat scan their steps to the specialist doctor who reviews it and then sends it to report back to the patient when they have time. The other one is called interactive or synchronous and thats where you meet with your healthcare provider in real time with audio and video so you can actually see each other like you would in the clinic. The last one is called remote monitoring also known as self-monitoring and you use technological devices to monitor your health. For example, someone with diabetes or irregular heart beat can wear a type of monitor and the data is transferred over in real time.

One of the limitations are complicated treatments that need more hands-on or treatment modalities such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation are better served by going into the clinic. Our clinic is still open and seeing patients as well. Another limitation is people with a high fall risk need another person with them during the session so they can provide support. The last limitation would be not having technology thats not adequate enough. You need to have access to adequate internet so you dont have any lagging during a telehealth session.

Globalization and Healthcare: Lessons the US Needs to Learn – The Globalist

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

The failure of the U.S. Executive Branch to manage the COVID 19 pandemic and other healthcare issues is beyond doubt and need not be reiterated here.

It is more than high time that the United States move beyond its clich-ridden healthcare debate toward a new and more pragmatic doctrine that seeks to achieve positive results for all U.S. citizens.

The old approach of pitting the free market against socialized medicine hasnt gotten us anywhere.

The first step would be for U.S. leaders to learn from the experience of countries that have successfully managed public health in general and the coronavirus in particular.

The second step would be for the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. government to reevaluate the profound market failures that often place citizens health at risk and reexamine the appropriate role of each branch of government in seeking solutions.

The third step would be for U.S. courts to take a more progressive view towards constitutional interpretation in a globalized world.

If the United States is to make progress on healthcare reform, the next Congress will need to adopt a pragmatic approach to healthcare issues devoid of incendiary terms such as nationalism, socialism and capitalism.

Democracy and capitalism are not synonymous but can be complementary. To equate the two obscures the fact that democracies around the world have made room for a degree of government intervention to ensure equal access to healthcare.

The starting point of a rational healthcare debate is to determine what tasks are best left to government and what tasks are best left to the private sector.

This will require the U.S. Congress to determine once and for all whether healthcare is either a right for all or a privilege reserved for those of sufficient means.

The odds are that Congress will eventually accept, as have almost all developed countries except the United States, that adequate healthcare is not just a privilege. While the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the ACA or Obamacare) was a step in the right direction, nearly 30 million people remain uninsured.

Once that decision has been made, Congress must determine the financial limit to this presumed right and determine how to distribute the benefits of this right efficiently. Again, the ACA was a move in the right direction, but premiums, co-pays and deductibles remain issues that the government must address.

Regardless of the outcome of the debate on universal healthcare, the U.S. Congress must also examine the extent to which government should encourage, complement or regulate private sector healthcare activity.

U.S. voters generally accept that there will be private sector involvement in the health sector. Other OECD countries have done the same. It is only a question of degree to determine the private sectors appropriate role.

This is always the difficult part of the debate for Americans determining when government involvement is necessary and at what level.

It is particularly important in the healthcare debate since healthcare is approaching 20% of U.S. GDP, the highest among OECD countries.

Despite the enormous cost to the economy, the results achieved are poorer than those of many OECD countries when measured by such indicators as longevity and infant mortality.

Without government intervention, the private sector has little incentive to offer universal health insurance, stockpile ventilators and personal protective equipment, or maintain a supply of hospital beds for future pandemics.

This isnt just true for the United States, but most European countries as well. If there was ever any doubt on a joint approach, the COVID 19 crisis has resolved that issue once and for all.

In addition, the private sector often lacks the discipline to limit its profit seeking nature, which is a reality not just in times of national need.

It also lacks the authority to intervene in the event of pandemics. For example, the private sector cannot appropriate money for universal coronavirus and antibody testing.

These shortcomings demonstrate that there is certainly a role for government in healthcare, but this role must be intelligently defined by Congress when it revisits the healthcare debate.

The politicization of the U.S. judiciary has also stymied healthcare reform. It is anachronistic to frame the constitutionality of comprehensive U.S. healthcare legislation on the framers original intent.

This is like addressing a new disease based on an 18th century understanding of medicine. Doctors still use leeches, but not for the diseases treated in 1789.

Other countries take a more progressive approach towards constitutional interpretation. While judicial predictability is important to maintain constitutional legitimacy, evolutionary interpretation is also important to maintain constitutional relevance.

Original intent should yield more often to evolutionary interpretation, particularly when Congress has acted to address an important issue, such as healthcare.

The 5-4 decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act illustrates the dangers.

It confirmed both the polarization of the Supreme Court and the harm that a polarized court can inflict when it dissects a law aimed at addressing issues well beyond the presumed intentions of the Founding Fathers.

The rapid spread of COVID 19 in the United States, and continued efforts by Republicans to use the courts to sabotage the ACA, make it inevitable that healthcare will be a dominant issue in the 2020 presidential race.

With its wealth and creativity, there is no reason why the United States cannot provide quality affordable healthcare to all of its residents.

It is time for the United States to learn from the accomplishments of other OECD countries, and continue to construct a model healthcare system of its own.

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare (GVMH), a leading rural healthcare organization, is pleased to announce it has been rated among the top 10 hospitals in Missouri in a national hospital ranking index by the Lown Institute, a nonpartisan think tank based in Brookline, Mass.

Wednesday letters: Healthcare workers, and County can’t be trusted on oil & gas – Glenwood Springs Post Independent

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

Answer the call

Public health departments have used contact tracing for decades to fight infectious disease. It is now a very important tool, along with social distancing and masks, that are KEYS to halting the spread of COVID-19.All you have to do is answer a phone call.

The more people who answer the call, the more lives and jobs in our area can be saved.

Early awareness helps you protect friends and loved ones from exposure. And early medical care can improve your outcome.

The people calling are part of the team of healthcare heroes working everyday to slow the spread so that you and others can get back to work and enjoy everyday activities. These public health nurses or community support workers are the same people who help with vaccines for children, WIC (Women and Infant Care), and vaccines for international travel. During the call, they will likely inform you they have received information from your healthcare provider or testing site that you tested positive or were exposed to the virus.

All of the information is kept confidential and individual information is not released publicly, under U.S. HIPAA laws and Colorado Statutes. No one will ask about your immigration status during testing, care or follow-up calls.The sooner they can reach you, the sooner you can get advice, testing recommendations, and support.

I can only imagine how I would feel if I got a call telling me I tested positive or had been in close contact with someone infectedscared, shocked and maybe angry. I would also have lots of questions.

The good news is that these healthcare workers have answers to your questions such as:

How to apply for community resources.

How to monitor symptoms and when to contact healthcare providers.

How to deal with fear and anxiety while isolated or quarantined.

How to keep your family and contacts safe.

Lets be prepared to do our part and answer the call if it comes.

GarCo cannot be trusted to handle decisions concerning oil and gas

In the Post Independents July 21 article concerning the intervention of conservation groups in a lawsuit against Colorados Air Quality Control Commission, Garfield Countys oil & gas liaison Kirby Wynn claimed to be perplexed as to why private entities with special interests would be invited to the table to inform public policy. Mr. Wynn, here is your answer:Garfield County has demonstrated time and again that it cannot be trusted to competently handle decisions concerning oil and gas. From wasting our public dollars on advocating for lax regulations, to approving the development of Pad A just hundreds of feet from homes, the Colorado River, and Battlement Mesas water treatment facility, county officials have chosen to sacrifice the health and safety of their people in support of a struggling industry that is threatening to take us with it.

When I joined Western Colorado Alliance, one of the groups that has intervened in the lawsuit, I was concerned about the impact of oil and gas development near my home and those of my neighbors. Within the Alliance, I found like-minded people in my community who are concerned about the effect that industrial activity has on people and the environment; it is precisely for this reason that I submitted a declaration supporting the intervention to the court. When people work together, they can stand up to special interests like the oil and gas industry.

So Mr. Wynn, to answer your question, organizations like Western Colorado Alliance are being considered because, unlike the local government which ostensibly exists to serve its people, we are the people, and we know that we deserve the same protections as all Coloradans. Even so, I expect that you will remain perplexed for the foreseeable future; after all, as Upton Sinclair astutely observed, It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.

Increased demand for cloud computing as organisations look to achieve business continuity – Aruba – DataCentreNews Europe

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

Companies looking to secure business continuity through the ongoing COVID-19 crisis has resulted in an increase in demand for cloud computing services, according to Aruba.

During the global lockdown, various sectors relied on cloud and data centre services to achieve a strong and reliable infrastructure to support the surge in demand from employees and customers.

"As the lockdown lifts, businesses around the world are adapting to new ways of working and Aruba Enterprise is supporting the continued shift to cloud infrastructure," the company says.

"Aruba Enterprise has worked with customers from multiple industries to provide a cloud infrastructure that supports remote working and the digitalisation of processes.

"With a large number of businesses looking to adapt quickly to a change in working procedures, Aruba Enterprise worked with its customers to enhance their ability to operate as a digital enterprise," the company explains.

"The Aruba Enterprise cloud infrastructure provides users with a highly flexible and customisable platform that provides businesses with the services they require to optimise their processes."

According to Aruba, the increase in remote working has also created a focus on cyber security for all businesses.

Through its virtualised cloud-based backup and disaster recovery services, together with dedicated appliance-based backup infrastructure, Aruba Enterprise has been able to offer practical technical measures to boost IT infrastructure security.

"With many years experience in the management of large-scale cloud projects and services, Aruba has been trusted by 200,000 cloud customers in 150 countries to ensure business continuity and meet the security needs of todays businesses," it says.

There has also been an increase in demand for online identification and certification digital services, such as digital signatures or remote digital signatures.

"These technologies play a key role in streamlining and optimising internal processes through dematerialisation, helping organisations cut waste and save both time and resources. For example, with the Aruba Enterprise digital signing book solution, businesses can access digitised documents remotely, reduce the time needed to approve applications and significantly improve organisational efficiency."

Massimo Bandinelli, Aruba Enterprise marketing manager, says the global pandemic has created a shift to remote working and operations, and Aruba has been working with companies to provide business continuity during this time.

We have provided our extensive IT experience to act as a qualified partner for businesses in any sector, however big or small, and have worked with them to provide the most effective service and approach to cloud computing that best meets their specific needs," he says.

"The IT landscape has changed vastly in 2020, and we are dedicated to supporting businesses and working with them to provide the most reliable infrastructure and services.

Google Cloud and Orange team up as cloud-telco cauldron continues to bubble – Cloud Tech

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

Google Cloud and Orange have announced a strategic partnership utilising edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI) among others as Googles European cloud expansion continues.

The deal, while under the partnership banner, can be seen more as another customer win chalked up for Google. Google will help accelerate the transformation of Oranges IT infrastructure and the development of future cloud services, in particular edge computing, according to the press materials.

The partnership element comes in under the development of advanced cloud, edge, and cybersecurity services, which are aimed at exploring new business opportunities for both companies. Google Cloud and Orange will also create a joint innovation lab and a centre of excellence. The latter will enable Google Cloud support for Orange France, along with other Orange affiliates, during their cloud transformation process.

Like other deals of its kind, Google will train up several thousand Orange employees in data, AI, and cloud services.

The agreement reinforces Oranges commitment, as set out in its Engage 2025 plan, to drive its internal transformation through the innovative and widespread use of AI and data in order to improve operational efficiency and the customer experience, as the company put it.

Statements attributed to CEOs in these announcements are usually dry affairs. Yet the words from Orange chief executive Stephane Richard unearthed a nugget, saying Google was eager to invest especially in France to develop new data centres. Orange is a pioneer of digital transformation and is pleased to partner with Google to accelerate its data and AI transformation and continue towards a better service for its customers, Richard added.

Google Clouds list of proposed data centre openings includes Paris, as well as further European sites in Italy, Poland and Spain. Its recent customer wins, from Renault, to Deutsche Bank, to Telefonica, have also had a distinctly European feel to them.

While the companys three primary customer pillars of retail, healthcare and financial services remain, telecoms is a continued interest. Alongside Telefonica, it was announced earlier this month that Verizon would use Google Clouds AI expertise for its contact centre.

Illinois regulators reject proposal to allow utilities cost recovery for cloud-based computing – Utility Dive

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Danzig

Dive Brief:

Coming changes in the electric power grid, as renewable energy production continues to increase, will require increasingly sophisticated controls.

Utilities will need the ability to predict and react to power supply as well as to new sources of demand. They will need the ability to instantly analyze enormous amounts of data, and that will require ever-increasing data processing power.

Paying for cloud computing services is an issue regulators and utilities have been considering in many states.

Renewable energy advocates more than a year ago recognized that Illinois regulators were in a cutting-edge debate and urged the ICC and Illinois lawmakers to make the change in the accounting treatment of cloud computing expenses.

As representatives of the renewable energy industry, we are strong proponents of policies that allow utilities to modernize computing systems and employ technologies that allow them to manage large amounts of data quickly and cost effectively to foster more rapid deployment of renewables on the electrical grid, wrote the chief executives of The American Council on Renewable Energy, the American Wind Energy Association and the Solar Industries Association in an April 2019 letter to a state legislative committee reviewing an early version of the commissions rule changes.

The grid is now accommodating the two-way flow of electrons and increased interconnections across the distribution system. All of these new technologies are creating large amounts of data and require advanced data management, their letter argued.

As negotiated since then by the ICC staff, utility representatives, and renewable and clean energy advocates, the proposed accounting rule changes would have allowed utilities to treat 80%of cloud service expenses as if they were a capital investment while absorbing the remaining 20%as a normal operating expense.

In a split 3-to-2 vote reflecting at least in part the concerns of lawmakers about the impact on customer bills if utilities were able to more easily pass on the cost of cloud-based data services, the ICC decided to end further discussion and leave current accounting rules in place.

The decision was a shock to some of the parties that had participated in nearly three years of discussions about the change.

At least one utility, Commonwealth Edison, took the setback in stride.

"We appreciate the initiative taken by the Illinois Commerce Commission throughout the cloud-based computer services docket. While we are continuing to review options with the other stakeholders, we know the Commission saw this as a potential opportunity to drive innovation and value for customers, and that remains our priority. We will continue to evaluate both on-premise and cloud-based solutions to ensure that the path chosen is best suited for the needs of the utility and its customers," the company said in a statement

We were surprised and disappointed that the ICC voted down the cloud-computing accounting rule proposal, given the unanimous vote to move forward with the proceeding last fall, the consensus reached by utilities, ICC staff and advanced energy companies on a simplified rule, and the absence of any objection in the recent record," said Danny Waggoner, director at Advanced Energy Economy, in a prepared statement.

Dissenting commission members were bitter about the development and said so before three members of the five-member commission voted to end the proposed rule changes.

Commissioner Maria Bocanegra, who voted against the majority, said the decision to walk away from making any changes meant the effort to modernize the regulations has dwindled down to nothing more than a circular and futile exercise in failed logic.

The decision, she said, means that we are essentially denying the technological process that our systems and our society will need and will depend on more and more in the future.

Illinois has consistently worked to develop processes that allow utilities to experiment with new technologies and not delay innovation necessary for grid modernization. That is, until now, Commissioner SadziOlivasaid before voting against the majority. The majority decision today sets Illinois back as a state progressive in its approach to innovation.

Commission Chair Carrie Zalewski said the decision to leave current regulations as they are does not prevent a utility from asking the agency to consider the cost of cloud data processing services in its next rate case.

She argued that the proposed rule changes as negotiated by the commissions staff and utilities did not really level the playing field for cloud-based services compared to in-house computing. She said the changes, if adopted, could hurt consumers because the proposed language lacks a necessary consumer protection mechanism" previously suggested by lawmakers.

I think cloud-based solutions are the future for this industry and will transform the utilities day to day operations and cost structure in a way that we cannot even predict today, Zalewski said. We need to let technology and markets thrive by getting out of the way.

That is not how Mishal Thadani, director of market development and policy at the artificial intelligence company Urbint, sees the commissions decision.

"Utility investment in cloud-based software is critical to addressing the safety and reliability challenges of today and tomorrow," Thadani said."Adopting specific rules that clarify the capitalization of these investments would close a gap in the regulatory framework, creating cost-efficiencies and making it easier for utilities to unlock the value of emerging technologies for their consumers."

If not for the order closing the proceeding, this would have been a groundbreaking measure for utility innovation, he said.
