SUMMARY:Mental Health as a Risk Factor for COVID-19:  A Population Health Assessment of the Pandemic (PART I:  Initial Findings)
DESCRIPTION:The Population Health Impact Institute (PHII)™ announces a complimentary webinar\, which will highlight how mental health conditions can increase the likelihood of COVID-19 infections. This innovative research study used Trajectory® Healthcare’s epidemiological-based AI software using the Colorado All Payer Claims Data Base to track how co-morbidities impact the likelihood of becoming infected with the coronavirus. \nThe presentation will feature two nationally known thought leaders in the population health field and will include a respondent panel made of experts in public health\, medicine\, and health economics. The study found several key population health trends: \nPreexisting mental health conditions are a strong independent predictor of COVID-19; and\nA mental health diagnosis\, in combination with known COVID-19 physical conditions (i.e.\, diabetes\, asthma\, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease\, chronic kidney disease\, and hypertension) acts as a strong multiplier on predicting COVID-19 incidence. \nThe webinar will take place on April 12\, 2021 at 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. (ET). To register for this complimentary webinar\, click here. \n“We believe this study is among the first to discover that mental/behavioral health conditions\, including depression and anxiety\, interact with physical diseases (i.e. hypertension\, diabetes\, COPD\, asthma\, and chronic kidney diseases) in such a way to become a strong predictor of COVID-19\,” notes Thomas Wilson\, PhD\, DrPH Founder and Chief Science Officer Trajectory Healthcare\, LLC and PHII Board Chair. \n“As a result of the study findings\, current immunization strategies and outreach should consider putting individuals with prior mental and behavioral health history in high priority groups\,” adds Janet (Jessie) Sullivan\, MD\, Principal\, SE JNS\, LLC; former CMO\, Hudson Health Plan \nDr. Wilson and Dr. Sullivan are the study authors. A pre-print version of the study is available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3807198. \nGarry Carneal\, JD\, MA\, CEO Schooner Strategies and PHII Advisory Board Chair will moderate the webinar\, which will feature Dr. Wilson and Dr. Sullivan. The webinar panel responders will feature:\n-Rachel Nolan\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, University of Cincinnati’s College of Medicine\n-Patricia Salber\, MD\, MPH\, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of The Doctor Weighs In\n-Deborah Viola\, MBA\, PhD; Vice President\, Data Management and Analytics\, Westchester Medical Center Health Network. \nA follow-up webinar will be hosted in June with additional findings on pandemic related changes in general utilization patterns over time\, the relationship between social determinants of health (SDOH) and COVID-19\, and medical and behavioral health issues subsequent to a COVID-19 diagnosis.

SUMMARY:Data to Drive Decisions: Resources to Chart COVID's Impact in Colorado
DESCRIPTION:It is nearly impossible to understate the impact of COVID-19 on every facet of life in Colorado. In this webinar\, CIVHC will look at three COVID-related analyses that helped inform different aspects of the pandemic as everyone worked together to predict the impact\, minimize the risks\, and continue to serve the health care needs of Coloradans. \n• High Risk Populations: Early in the pandemic\, data from the CO APCD provided insight into geographic areas with Coloradans at high risk of severe illness should they contract COVID\, allowing for targeted intervention efforts and eventual vaccination planning. \n• Impact of Elective Procedure Cessation: When the Executive Order declaring a temporary cessation for elective procedures went into effect\, it was unclear what the impact might be on revenue to hospitals and other health care providers. \n• Trends in Telehealth Utilization: Many health care services had to continue despite the virus\, and providers of all specialties displayed remarkable agility and ingenuity as they pivoted to telehealth nearly overnight. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Healthcare Cost and Quality Transparency in Colorado
DESCRIPTION:Knowing the cost of healthcare services has been\, and continues to be\, difficult for most consumers. Finding solutions for informing patients has proven to be complicated and controversial. Colorado has taken steps to address cost transparency within the state\, as well as improving the quality of the services delivered. Our Moderator and Panelists will discuss: \n\nAre Colorado healthcare consumers benefiting from legislation passes in 2018 requiring hospitals to post self-pay prices for the most common procedures and treatments?\nWhat other solutions exist in Colorado to help consumers make informed healthcare decisions?\n\n

SUMMARY:Data to Drive Decisions: Health Equity Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Social factors such as race\, education\, income\, housing\, and transportation can have a major impact on a person’s ability to live a healthy life and play a powerful\, fundamental role in health outcomes and health equity for individuals and entire communities. In fact\, studies have found that up to 80% of a person’s health is related to social factors that are often out of their control. The new The Health Equity Analysis from the Center for Improving Value in Health Care shows the relationship between key social factors and access and use of health care services that can impact a person’s health. Communities can use this information to identify areas to focus health equity efforts. \nPresenters:\n\nCari Frank\, MBA\, CIVHC\, VP of Communication and Marketing\nClare Leather\, MPH\, CIVHC\, Public Reporting Program Manager\nJaime Ransohoff\, HSRI\, Health Care Data Analyst
