🍅🥑 Last week, researchers in JAMA Network Open released a systematic review and meta-analysis of nine studies with 577 participants, revealing that Mediterranean diet interventions effectively improve cardiometabolic health in children and adolescents. The Mediterranean diet is plant-based and focuses on whole grains, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, herbs, and spices. Additionally, individuals who follow this diet consume fish or seafood at least twice a week, minimizing their consumption of dairy products, poultry, and eggs. This diet also emphasizes little to no consumption of red meat. In this study, the researchers analyzed randomized clinical trials that promoted the Mediterranean diet in their interventions and analyzed cardiometabolic biomarkers, including systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose, insulin, and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance. #HealthyKids #MediterraneanDiet #CardiometabolicHealth #HealthyEating #ChildNutrition #HeartHealth #KidsHealth #Wellness #HealthyLiving #FamilyHealth #BalancedDiet #NutritiousAndDelicious

👩⚕️ On July 10, 2024, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a proposed rule for the 2025 calendar year that would require hospitals to take steps to approve maternal healthcare to remain in Medicare. “For too long, too many women in the United States have been dying during pregnancy or in the postpartum period, and this crisis has disproportionately affected women of color,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra in the HHS press release. “HHS is taking additional steps to improve maternal health by strengthening the care new moms and their babies receive at our nation’s hospitals. The Biden–Harris Administration continues to be committed to making pregnancy and childbirth safer.” According to the press release, the proposed rule revises the Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) and the Medicare Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) payment system to reduce maternal mortality, promote health equity, and support underserved communities. 🌟 #MaternalHealth #CMSUpdates #HospitalSafety #HealthcareQuality #MotherAndBaby #HealthCareReform #MedicalNews #PatientSafety #HospitalStandards #MaternalCare #HealthPolicy #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalStandards

🌍🔴 On July 15, 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF issued a joint news release revealing that global childhood immunization rates stalled in 2023, leaving many children and adolescents unprotected against preventable diseases. According to the report, pediatric immunization rates stalled in 2023. A comparison to pre-pandemic immunization levels from 2019 revealed that 2.7 million additional children are unvaccinated or under-vaccinated. “The latest trends demonstrate that many countries continue to miss far too many children,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell in the press release. “Closing the immunization gap requires a global effort, with governments, partners, and local leaders investing in primary healthcare and community workers to ensure every child gets vaccinated and that overall healthcare is strengthened.” 📉😔 #PublicHealth #PediatricCare #Immunization #VaccinesWork #ChildHealth #Healthcare #GlobalHealth #PreventiveCare #HealthyKids #MedicalNews #HealthAwareness #Vaccination #HealthForAll #ChildSafety

🚨 The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a proposed rule in March 2024 regarding reporting requirements under the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 (CIRCIA). In public comments, the American Hospital Association (AHA) and the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) expressed concerns about how the rule will affect healthcare entities that are already subject to other cybersecurity incident reporting requirements. CIRCIA, which was enacted in March 2022, requires CISA to develop and implement regulations that require covered entities to report cyber incidents and ransomware payments to CISA. Although the law has been in effect since 2022, the reporting requirements will not go into effect until CISA completes its formal rulemaking process. The final rule is expected to be published in 2025. #IndustryNews #CIRCIA #Regulations #BusinessNews #Compliance #TechIndustry #PolicyChanges #DataReporting #IndustryConcerns #BusinessUpdates #RegulatoryNews #TechPolicy #IndustryImpact

📱💖 While a remote monitoring application offering tailored text messages did not improve adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) adherence among women with early-stage breast cancer, it did reduce high-cost healthcare encounters without affecting quality of life, according to new research. AET can help reduce the risk of cancer recurrence among women with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. AET includes drugs that block estrogen receptors, like Tamoxifen and Fulvestrant (Faslodex), drugs that lower estrogen levels, like aromatase inhibitors, and ovarian suppression treatments. However, AET is associated with adverse symptoms, which reduce adherence. Researchers examined the efficacy of a remote symptom monitoring app in improving AET adherence and other outcomes in a study published in JAMA Network Open. The randomized clinical trial included English-speaking women with early-stage breast cancer prescribed AET at a large cancer center from November 15, 2018, to June 11, 2021. #BreastCancerCare #HealthcareInnovation #RemoteMonitoring #BreastCancerSupport #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #MedicalApp #Telehealth #PatientCare #BreastCancerAwareness #SmartHealthcare
