University Hospitals partners with ValueHealth to create Centers of Excellence for value-based surgical care

October 13, 2020

The joint venture looks to enhance patient outcomes while reducing overall costs for those who receive and pay for care.

CLEVELAND — University Hospitals has formed a joint venture with ValueHealth LLC, a nationally recognized digital health company empowering consumerism and payment reform, to create a “high-value network of state-of-the-art ambulatory surgical centers.”

This means that UH’s network will be expanding in surgical care with a focus on orthopedic surgery, specifically hip and knee replacements. The facilities will be multi-specialty and may also include clinical services such as pain management, urology, cardiac care, and more.

ValueHealth’s stated expertise and reputation for developing demand matching surgical networks and bundled payment programs will bring enhancements to UH’s facilities while reducing the cost associated with the standard “fee-for-service” model. Executive Chairman John Palumbo said:

“We are pleased to join with UH in expanding value-based care options for the Northeast Ohio community. UH is

In March, when most Leon County Schools were abruptly closed due to the major health crisis, most students assumed that everything would be back to normal within two weeks.

However, when weeks turned into months, Rohan and Neha realized that they weren’t the only ones who didn’t know when they would go back to school or what the next year

would look like.

With so much unknown about COVID-19, they wanted to create a platform that connected their community in a way that would make everyone more health-conscious.

The claim: Kamala Harris said she’ll place a federal tax on homes to pay for reparations

Since she was chosen, misinformation about Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris has spread online. One social media post claims Harris’ views on reparations for slavery will lead to a new tax.

Florida State University’s College of Nursing will offer a new graduate-level concentration and certificate next fall focusing on military health, thanks to a three-year, $1.25 million grant from the United Health Foundation.

With course titles such as “visible and non-visible wounds,” “geriatric mental health” and “women in war,” the goal is to better train nurse practitioners to care for military veterans and their families who face unique health challenges, given the nature of their service, said Susan Porterfield, assistant dean of the graduate program at the College of Nursing.

“We’re looking at the culture, we’re looking at sensitive approaches to military families,” Porterfield said.

United Health Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the healthcare company UnitedHealth Group, is providing seed money for the concentration and certificate in a state with a market for medical professionals equipped to treat a military community, said Patricia Horoho, chief executive of OptumServe, which is part

A new Center for Precision Animal Modeling, or C-PAM, has been created at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, supported by a five-year, $9.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health’s Office of Research Infrastructure Programs.

The UAB C-PAM is one of only three centers in the United States funded through a highly competitive NIH program to create national centers for “precision disease modeling.” UAB submitted a 15-member team proposal led by Brad Yoder, Ph.D., chair of the UAB Department of Cell, Developmental and Integrative Biology, and Matt Might, Ph.D., professor in the UAB Department of Medicine and director of the Hugh Kaul Precision Medicine Institute.

Yoder and Might say the new center is a recognition of UAB’s national reputation for leadership in both precision medicine and model organism research.

Repealing the ACA Would Create Chaos for the Disability Community During a Pandemic

Poverty is both a cause and a consequence of disability, an unsurprising fact considering that the significant expenses of health care make it the No. 1 reason individuals file for bankruptcy. One-third of GoFundMe donations are dedicated to health care expenses; this, too, is not surprising, given that the American Journal of Medicine reports that more than 40 percent of the 9.5 million people diagnosed with cancer between 2000 and 2012 had zero savings left after two years.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted in 2010, was a game-changer for the disability community and was in some ways comparable to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in terms of the impact the law had on peoples’ lives. While much of the law’s importance has centered on its anti-discrimination protections for people with preexisting conditions—which do have a significant effect on people with disabilities and chronic health conditions—there

NEWPORT — A federal grant will allow Newport Mental Health to establish a COVID-19 Emergency Suicide Prevention program for residents of Aquidneck Island.

Although suicide statistics since the beginning of the pandemic are incomplete, most mental-health experts expect to see a rise in attempts and fatalities without aggressive intervention.

Washington — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is questioning President Donald Trump’s fitness to serve, announcing legislation Thursday that would create a commission to allow Congress to intervene under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution and remove the president from executive duties.

Just weeks before the Nov. 3 election, Pelosi said Trump needs to disclose more about his health after his Covid-19 diagnosis. She noted Trump’s “strange tweet” halting talks on a new coronavirus aid package — he subsequently tried to reverse course — and said Americans need to know when, exactly, he first contracted COVID as others in the White House became infected. On Friday, she plans to roll out the legislation that would launch the commission for review.

“The public needs to know the health condition of the president,” Pelosi said, later invoking the 25th Amendment, which allows a president’s cabinet or Congress to intervene when a president is
