Background on Social Determinants of Health

Sun, 2020-08-16 00:08 — Jan Booher

Leveraging Data on the Social Determinants of Health

Here is the Foreward:

Foreword

HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Admiral Brett Giroir

America yearns for a new approach to healthcare, and addressing the social determinants of health must be a foundational principle of that approach. America’s healthcare spending is unprecedented and unequalled, accounting for almost 18 percent of our Gross National Product (GNP), potentially topping $6 trillion by 2027. But sadly, we are not getting our money's worth for those expenditures - no matter how you look at the data. Of our 36 peer high-income OECD nations, the United States is 28th in life expectancy, and our life expectancy decreased even more in 2015 and 2017. If this trend continues, my two-year-old granddaughter will live a shorter life and with less quality than my generation. None of us believe that's acceptable.

‘We’re Clearly Not Doing Enough’: Drop in Testing Hampers Coronavirus Response

Sat, 2020-08-15 19:36 — mike kraft

For months, public health experts and federal officials have said that significantly expanding the number of coronavirus tests administered in the United States is essential to reining in the pandemic. By some estimates, several million people might need to be tested each day, including many people who don’t feel sick.

But the country remains far short of that benchmark and, for the first time, the number of known tests conducted each day has fallen.
