Netsmart recognizes the importance of #healthcare equity for persons with a #SubstanceUse disorder (SUD) or history of SUD treatment. The Partnership to Amend 42 CFR Part 2 recognized several members of Congress who championed legislation to more closely align decades-old 42 CFR Part 2 healthcare privacy regulations with #HIPAA, while retaining strong privacy protections. Netsmart joined the Association for Behavioral Health and Wellness and a diverse range of other partnership members to lead advocacy for this multi-year effort. Kevin Scalia, Netsmart delivered opening remarks describing how the Final Rule gives people the power to share their SUD-related health data with all their healthcare providers via a single consent form if they desire - the same as persons with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, mental illness or multiple co-occurring conditions.

Each year, millions of patients like Watkins face misdiagnosis, resulting in dire consequences. A JAMA Internal Medicine study reveals that nearly 1 in 4 hospital patients who died or required intensive care experienced diagnostic errors, with nearly 18% suffering harm. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/giV-Y4zd Racial and gender disparities exacerbate the issue, with women and minorities often facing delayed or incorrect diagnoses.

Stigma is the elephant in the room. It is why comedians deliver jokes poking fun at stigma in the numerous ‘fat' jokes or body image insults woven into most late-night monologues. We are encouraged to laugh at the insult or self-deprecating comment, yet many of us aren't clear why stigma isn't always funny, especially for people with or at risk of diabetes. This article will review seven types of stigma and how it impacts healthcare and access. #healthcareprofessionals #fatpositivedietitian #haes #healthateverysize #weightinclusivediabetes #diabetesawareness #diabetesmanagement #diabeteseducation #diabeteseducator #healthcare

Today, on #WorldHaemophiliaDay, we're reminded of the importance of raising awareness about this rare bleeding disorder, and the growing concern in the #AsiaPacific region regarding the underdiagnosis of the disease and the inaccurate estimation of its prevalence. Haemophilia isn't just a medical condition; it's a journey that requires timely diagnosis, specialised care, and ongoing support. Yet, many individuals still face significant barriers to accessing these essential services. On #WHD2024, we reaffirm our commitment to promoting equitable healthcare access for all. By fostering collaboration among healthcare providers, policymakers, and advocacy groups, we can work towards closing the gap in healthcare disparities. #HealthForAll #HealthcareAccess #HealthEquity #HealthcareCommunications Sandpiper Health Vincent Pung Eddie M.

A group of incredible people all on one stage discussing the tipping point of obesity care. Amazing treatments are here but access continues to be a barrier. The future is bright but how do we bridge the gap? We all need to work together to advocate for better coverage and better treatment. What would progress look like? Providers offering patients treatment or refer for treatment. Patients AND providers advocating for better benefits from their employers and health plans. Policymakers and legislators seeing obesity as a standard health benefit. #accesstocare #AccessForAll #advocate #obesityisadisease #treatment #treatorrefer #overcomingobesity #obesitymedicine #obesityawareness #obesityactioncoalition

Healthcare Junkie - Making Digital Health Easier! - Transformational Leader - 30+ years "wiser" -Trusted Advisor to C-Suite
In the US. In 2024. People of color don’t have access to the same Healthcare as white people do. And it’s not close. Maternal health. Fetal survival. Regular preventative care. Diabetic care. The list goes on and it’s astounding. It’s great to pull out the same quote once a year about measuring people by their character, but we have a lot of work to do. #healthequity #healthcare #mlk
