Lessons From Across the Pacific—Health Policy Debates Worth Having, Part 1
This JAMA Forum discusses primary care–oriented health reforms in Singapore
Vicious and Virtuous Cycles in Health
This JAMA Forum discusses how physicians and health professionals can help patients by intervening when they observe harmful cycles in health and by encouraging virtuous or health-promoting cycles
The Nation’s First Publicly Recognized Overdose Prevention Centers: Lessons Learned in New York City
In November of 2021, multiple factors converged to create a window of opportunity to open overdose prevention centers (OPCs) at two existing syringe service programs (SSPs) in New York City (NYC). Political will exists in NYC, particularly toward the end of the de Blasio administration's term, and the NYC Health Department worked to garner additional support from local and state elected officials given the dire need to address the overdose crisis…
Developing a Model to Predict High Health Care Utilization Among Patients in a New York City Safety Net System
BACKGROUND: Health care facilities use predictive models to identify patients at risk of high future health care utilization who may benefit from tailored interventions. Previous predictive models that have focused solely on inpatient readmission risk, relied on commercial insurance claims data, or failed to incorporate social determinants of health may not be generalizable to safety net hospital populations. To address these limitations, we deve…
Public Health and Payers—Bridging the Gap to Boost Public Health Investment
A New Category of “Never Events”—Ending Harmful Hospital Policies
This JAMA Forum discusses hospital policies that can harm patients, such as aggressively collecting payment on medical bills from those who cannot afford to pay, and provides ways to address current “never event” policies
How to Act Upon Racism—not Race—as a Risk Factor
Commonality and Continuity in Responses to Pandemic and Endemic Covid-19
The etiology and trajectory of COVID-19 have led many infectious disease experts to posit that the virus, to one extent or another, is here to stay. It may become endemic with illness that is less severe, it may become like seasonal influenza, or it may persist with an ongoing threat of a mass outbreak. Our best conjectures are constrained by the fact that the pandemic is not over-and we ignore current global outbreaks and vaccine shortages at ph…
Association of eConsult Implementation With Access to Specialist Care in a Large Urban Safety-Net System
In this quality improvement study, implementation of eConsults at a large multi-specialty safety-net system was associated with improvements in appointment scheduling rates and wait times. Despite an additional electronic health record transition, eConsults are a promising health care delivery tool for increasing access to specialty care
Medicine’s Role in Reimagining Public Health: Reuniting Panacea and Hygeia
In ancient Greece, physicians marked their entry into the profession by reciting the Hippocratic Oath, a ritual used to remind physicians of the standards and aspirations of the medical field. Notably, the original version began with an invocation to Panacea and Hygeia-divine siblings who embodied cures and prevention, respectively-reflecting an awareness that achieving health for all required physicians to integrate the practice of medicine with…
People and Places for the Future of Public Health
Locally embedded and trusted US health workers have gathered data, spread messages, and built strong, organized, community responses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their outreach has been key in confronting disparities and mitigating even worse outcomes in our hardest-hit communities
Financial Stability as a Goal of Payment Reform—A Lesson From Covid-19
Over the last decade, the US health care system embarked on a journey toward value-based care. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) designed and implemented a range of value-based payments through the rollout of alternative payment models, such as accountable care organizations (ACOs). The goal of these efforts was to increase value by improving quality and reducing costs. To date, however, alternative payment models have had modest…
Emerging Lessons From Covid-19 Response in New York City
In a little more than 1 month, US society and its hospitals have been transformed by coronavirus disease 2019 . The once-boisterous streets of New York City are quiet, while the hospital wards reverberate with the swooshes and beeps usually heard in intensive care units (ICUs)

Shoring Up the US Safety Net in the Era of Coronavirus Disease 2019
Closing the access gap for health innovations: An open licensing proposal for universities
BACKGROUND: This article centers around a proposal outlining how research universities could leverage their intellectual property to help close the access gap for health innovations in poor countries. A recent deal between Emory University, Gilead Sciences, and Royalty Pharma is used as an example to illustrate how 'equitable access licensing' could be put into practice. DISCUSSION: While the crisis of access to medicines in poor countries has mu…
