Geriatrics, Prevention and Medicare: An
Overview ---
A Community Healers Inspiring Tomorrow (CHIT)
Chat |
|
Join us for a Webinar on November
30
Dr. Marcel Salive, MD, MPH will be discussing
geriatrics and preventive medicine including the controversy behind the use of
Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) in Medicare. As part of the Affordable
Care Act (ACA), Medicare has been charged with incorporating evidence–based
medicine into their activities. The idea of CER would encourage the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) to apply the research generated by the National
Institute of Health (NIH) and others for their payment, coverage and quality
measurement systems. This becomes controversial because some people are not
comfortable with the idea that the government would be deciding what services to
provide based on efficacy, and possibly cost.
Dr. Salive is from the
National Institute on Aging of the NIH. He is the Vice Chair for the American
Board of Preventive Medicine and mid-Atlantic Regent of the American College of
Preventive Medicine. He oversees a portfolio of clinical and translational
research on geriatrics for the NIH, including polypharmacy and treatment of
multiple chronic conditions. He is also a Captain in the US Public Health
Service (PHS) and medical officer for the PHS Rapid Deployment Force-2.
This webinar is brought to you by the American College of Preventive
Medicine (ACPM) and is designed for medical students and residents. Through a
partnership between ACPM and the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) the
webinar series aims to increase medical students' awareness of current public
health issues and interest in the medical specialty of preventive medicine. ACPM
is the national professional society for physicians who specialize in preventive
medicine. Preventive medicine physicians are uniquely trained in both clinical
medicine and public health and serve in leadership positions throughout the
country and internationally.
