Research demonstrates improved health outcomes for maternal and orthopedic patients through a technology-enabled, community-based care model

CommonSpirit Health, a nonprofit health system serving patients in 137 hospitals and 1000+ care sites across 21 states, and Docent Health are expanding their virtual care navigator program to build on the program’s success in improving health outcomes for maternity and orthopedic patients. Docent Health is a leader in consumer engagement and patient navigation technology and services. Partners since 2016, the virtual care navigation program has paired patients with care navigators who are in and of CommonSpirit’s communities and provide individualized guidance to patients.

CMS notes that social determinants of health – including housing, transportation, education, social isolation, and more –

The Health 202: A court with Amy Coney Barrett is more likely to reinterpret Roe than reverse it

October 14, 2020

| Community Health

That’s the trajectory those on both sides of the abortion debate expect if Barrett joins the court.

“The point is she could rid of the right for millions without actually overturning Roe,” Leila Abolfazli, director of federal reproductive rights at the National Women’s Law Center, told me. “It’s like bit by bit narrowing the procedure until there is no procedure left.”

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the antiabortion group Susan B. Anthony List, put it this way: “Reinterpreting Roe, that is how I think about it.”

Barrett, who will sit again before the Senate Judiciary Committee for a third day of confirmation hearings, is expected to tilt the court further to the right, potentially giving it a five- or even six-vote majority on cases involving abortion restrictions passed by the states.

She has a lengthy public record that underscores her personal opposition to abortion. But through hours of hearings

‘I’m a Black Doctor. I Feel the Weight of Representing My Community’

October 14, 2020

A distinct memory I have from my childhood in Sacramento, California is overhearing my dad taking calls from worried parents. He has been practicing as a general pediatrician for 25 years and answers every call with patience and compassion that I deeply admire.

Rebekah Fenton was a pediatrics resident at Seattle Children’s hospital before taking her current position as adolescent medicine fellow in Chicago.

As I grew older, my father started sharing some of his patients’ stories with me and I began to realize that I also wanted to work in medicine, but that I wanted to focus my career on working with teenagers.

However, as a Black girl growing up wanting to be a doctor, I became aware that I was the personification of my parents’ and communities’ dreams. At church or community events, I’d often hear, “your parents must be so proud.” And, of

Boston’s emerging do-it-yourself hip-hop community gives artists tremendous freedom.

Jesse Haley

It’s 1986, and there’s a voice on the radio talking about a place called “Fresh Avenue.” “There’s a place yes a place to be / Where party people chill in harmony / No prejudice no crime or guns / Just the hip-hop and a lot of fun / I’m talking about the place Fresh Avenue / And I’m MC Keithy E from the Gang Starr Crew.”

You’ve heard drums before, but not quite like this. It’s the texture, the grit, the rawness — it draws you in. You’re like, “Bet, I’m there,” and, taking your hand off of the dial, you carefully listen for any new information about the place where you can experience this music live.

A few miles away, on

Allscripts To Sell CarePort Health Biz To WellSky For $1.35 Bln

October 13, 2020
| No Comments
| Community Health

(RTTNews) – Shares of Allscripts (MDRX) surged 55% in extended trading session Tuesday after the company said it agreed to sell its CarePort Health business to WellSky Corp., a health and community care technology company, for $1.35 billion.

WellSky is jointly owned by private equity firms, TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners.

CarePort solutions assist hundreds of hospitals and thousands of post-acute care providers to efficiently coordinate and transition patients through different settings of care.

The agreed sale price of $1.35 billion represents a multiple of greater than 13 times CarePort’s revenue over the trailing 12 months.

The transaction is expected to close before the end of the year.

“WellSky is a great company that will provide both an ideal and permanent home for CarePort and its almost 200 team members,” said Rick Poulton, Allscripts President and Chief Financial Officer. “This agreement is another all-around win for Allscripts as

California’s health equity measure aims to protect communities vulnerable to the coronavirus. But will small businesses pay the price?

October 13, 2020

| Community Health

For public health leaders and community advocates across the Bay Area, California’s new health equity metric, which aims to tackle coronavirus disparities in communities of color, is a forward-thinking plan that will aid those hardest hit by the virus.

But for business owners like Danielle Rabkin, the metric is a potential new roadblock in a year full of them. Rabkin’s business is on the brink of closure. After months of uncertainty and evaporating revenue, she was allowed to reopen her San Francisco gym, CrossFit Golden Gate in September, at limited indoor capacity.

A few weeks later, the state came out with the new health equity metric rule, adding another layer in determining when counties may advance reopening and roll back shelter-in-place restrictions, according to the state’s color-coded, tiered system for assessment.

San Francisco County didn’t meet the equity metric required for advancement to a less-restrictive tier last week, the state’s

Stranded pedestrians in Dallas’ Joppa community get a lift from City Council

October 13, 2020
| No Comments
| Community Health

The southern Dallas community of Joppa got some much-needed relief Tuesday when the Dallas City Council allocated $500,000 to provide immediate, free, “on-demand” transportation via Dallas Area Rapid Transit during construction of a long-awaited pedestrian bridge over the nearby Union Pacific Railroad tracks.

Access has long been a problem in Joppa — pronounced jop-ee — a freedman’s town founded in 1872 by emancipated slave Henry Critz Hines. Joppa, with an estimated population of about 750, lies 6 miles southeast of downtown, between the wetlands of the Trinity River and the Union Pacific train tracks.

Adam Bazaldua, whose District 7 includes Joppa, was among those voting for the measure, which the council approved unanimously, with nary a murmur of dissent.

Even so, Bazaldua called it “an example of what should be considered a basic quality of life that we are unfortunately viewing as a celebration. Because, don’t get me wrong, this
