Expanding Presumptive Eligibility as a Key Part of Medicaid Reform
As the incoming Biden administration prepares its health reform agenda, simplifying access to Medicaid should emerge as a high priority. Medicaid has proven critical during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, in that enrollment has grown by 5.3 million individuals (to 76.5 million) from February to August 2020 as a result of reduced incomes and job loss. Even with this growth, further enrollment simplification is critical, given Med…
The Case for Independent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—Protecting Public Health from Politics
Recent polling shows that Americans trust the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) more than the White House to handle coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and accurately report data on the pandemic. 1 Despite this finding, the White House has frequently curbed the ability of the CDC to function at its full potential. Over the past 6 months, the administration has revised evidence-based CDC guidelines, blocked CDC officials from app…
Colleges and Covid-19 Data Dashboards—Not Just an Academic Exercise
Within weeks of campuses reopening, many prominent colleges and universities experienced severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks, endangering students, faculty, staff, and local communities. More than 130 000 college-related cases have been reported as of October 1, 2020, across more than 1300 schools. Despite universities' best efforts to mitigate the spread of infection, these surges highlight the need for updated data to understan…
Logistics of Aggressive Community Screening for Coronavirus 2019
Public health and medical experts have clamored for increased coronavirus testing to control the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, 1 but how to implement such testing has not been carefully described. We detail a plan for aggressive community screening with the goal of controlling, if not eradicating, local severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission. For at least 2 months, access to reagents, swabs, and tests ha…

Implied Consent in Treating Psychiatric Emergencies
A significant percentage of psychiatric emergencies occur outside the psychiatric inpatient unit (1), such as in emergency rooms, outpatient clinics, and on medical floors. The existing literature on the legal, ethical, and practical considerations of compulsory treatment in psychiatric emergency is limited. The purpose of this article is to review the relevant legal and ethical background of treatment over objection in the United States of Ameri…
Innovating in Health Care Management Education
Increasingly, there is recognition of the need for individuals with expertise in both management and public health to help health care organizations deliver high-quality and cost-effective care. The Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Management began offering an accelerated Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Public Health (MPH) joint degree program in the summer of 2014. This new program enables students to earn MB…
Physician Self-Referral for Imaging and the Cost of Chronic Care for Medicare Beneficiaries
BACKGROUND: As the cost of both chronic care and diagnostic imaging continue to rise, it is important to consider methods of cost containment in these areas. Therefore, it seems important to study the relationship between self-referral for imaging and the cost of care of chronic illnesses. Previous studies, mostly of acute illnesses, have found self-referral increases utilization and, thus, probably imaging costs. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relat…
