The program rule on Interoperability, Information Blocking, and ONC Health IT Certification, which implements the 21st Century Cures Act passed in 2016, requires patients be provided access to all the health information in their electronic medical records without charge by their healthcare provider beginning April 5, 2021

Recommended by DeAunne Denmark, MD, PhD: "Consumer genetic testing for health conditions has always been viewed with some skepticism by healthcare professionals. For many, direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing was synonymous with 23andMe, whose health-related products are perceived as having little to no value for health care. But the landscape for consumer-initiated genetic health testing has changed dramatically in just the last year."

Resources from recent SNS FiReFilms Webinar "The COVID-19 pandemic is having a direct impact on the challenges ISD seeks to address. Bad actors and extremist groups are exploiting the pandemic and the anxieties emerging across the globe to further their extreme narratives and spread division and hate. We are working to understand the ways this global health crisis is being used, co-opted and manipulated for extremist ends"

"Accessibility and systemic discrimination bars many from being able to get the help they need. Mental health disparities that affect the black community include inequitable access, diagnosis, and treatment, and overall, more severe symptoms. Among adults with the same diagnosed mental health or addiction issue, 37.6% of White patients received treatment, while only 25% of African American patients did. Fighting for racial equality means fighting for equality in mental health care, and supporting black lives means supporting black mental health and recognizing racial trauma."

"While Alperin characterizes the shift in support among HCPs as gradual, he points to the arrival of the Apple Watch - the most recent model adds a feature that measures the saturation of oxygen in the user's blood - as "the biggest point of inflection." He notes that he has confirmed the accuracy of the watch's readings against EKGs performed in his office. And while that firsthand experience may be anecdotal, he believes it offers "one more piece of validation.""

"coronavirus covid-19" DeAunne & All --- Is this a resource I should add to our COVID-19 Data: Dashboard Views class?

"How do doctors, nurses, and other caring professionals keep their hearts soft when there are forces that make it hard to stay that way? With her radically compassionate approach to medicine, Dr. Victoria Sweet calls us to slow down in a world that loves quick fixes. In today's conversation, Kate and Victoria give us more language about what helps us all stay connected to the people we serve."

"What is Slow Medicine? In our fast-paced world, we often look for quick-fix solutions to our health challenges, not realizing that these "solutions" in fact may contribute to our problems. Most health challenges are the result of an imbalance in our bodies and lives, and most quick-fix solutions actually exacerbate these imbalances. If, instead, we take a Slow Medicine approach - identifying the root cause of our health challenges, then creating a thoughtful, step-by-step, and long-term response to it - we effectively bring ourselves back into balance. In doing so, we not only can resolve our primary complaints, but we also can benefit elsewhere in our lives, often in unexpected ways."

"39 health systems in 45 states and Washington, DC have committed to addressing racism and the public health disparities caused by racism."

"The current debate over intersectionality is really three debates: one based on what academics like Crenshaw actually mean by the term, one based on how activists seeking to eliminate disparities between groups have interpreted the term, and a third on how some conservatives are responding to its use by those activists."

Kimberle Crenshaw

"Now more than ever, it's important to look boldly at the reality of race and gender bias -- and understand how the two can combine to create even more harm. Kimberlé Crenshaw uses the term "intersectionality" to describe this phenomenon; as she says, if you're standing in the path of multiple forms of exclusion, you're likely to get hit by both. In this moving talk, she calls on us to bear witness to this reality and speak up for victims of prejudice."
