A new data snapshot from the AAMC Research and Action Institute examines the differences in services offered across health systems and hospitals by profitability status, ownership, and teaching status to better illustrate their benefit provided to communities beyond charity care. The authors highlight the discrepancies in services offered across short-term general and critical-access hospitals and how these relate to charity care, and the policy implications of defining and interpreting charity care differently across institutions. The data show that not-for-profit hospitals —and particularly teaching hospitals— were more likely than for-profit hospitals and nonteaching hospitals to offer a comprehensive list of health care services, including unprofitable ones such as trauma and burn centers, psychiatric services, and substance use disorder care.

When policymakers or well-meaning individuals involved in health policy talk about the benefits of not-for-profit hospitals, “charity care” — one of several measurable benefits — is the most common assessment. Yet while charity care is an important component of community benefit, it’s narrowly defined and does not account for the full range of essential services offered by #notforprofit hospitals and health systems, including academic health systems. My colleagues at the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Research and Action Institute and I have developed a new data snapshot that examines the differences in services offered across health systems and hospital types to better illustrate their clinical benefits beyond just #charitycare. Our analysis found that not-for-profit hospitals — and particularly teaching hospitals — were more likely than for-profit hospitals and nonteaching hospitals to offer a comprehensive list of health care services, such as those that are generally underreimbursed but critical to the community. This includes both highly specialized unprofitable standby services such as trauma and burn centers; but also other critical services such as psychiatric services and substance use disorder care. As policymakers consider cuts to these institutions — under changes to tax status or cuts to other subsidies that help defray the costly mission of providing comprehensive care to communities — they need to consider what’s at stake for patients too. Eliminating these critical investments in patient care services may negatively impact access to care and health outcomes in their communities. Read the full snapshot:

Why might the month in which a child is born impact their likelihood of getting the flu, or be misdiagnosed with ADHD? How can having a heart attack on the day a marathon is hosted in your city change your mortality risk? Why might more experienced physicians, in general, have worse patient outcomes than younger physicians? These are all questions that Anupam “Bapu” Jena, MD, PhD, a Harvard Medical School professor, internal medicine physician, and economist, set out to explore through natural experiments – observational studies that are more frequently conducted in the field of economics than in medicine. Jena will discuss his research into the role chance plays in health, how biases influence decision-making, and how to think creatively in medicine at a session at Learn Serve Lead: the AAMC Annual Meeting (#AAMC24), to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, Nov. 8-12, 2024. https://ow.ly/sEwN50TfRpa AAMCNews spoke with Jena, co-host of the podcast, “Freakonomics, M.D.,” about the inspiration behind his experiments and what he’s learned about the randomness of health and medicine through his research.

Graduate Medical Education (GME) — clinical training at teaching hospitals for our future physicians after medical school — is crucial in addressing America’s #DocShortage. Increasing federal investment in GME is a critical step in producing more physicians to care for our nation’s patients. To provide quality care for patients everywhere, we must #ExpandGME.

From facing skepticism and outdated beliefs to becoming leaders in health care, women have paved a courageous path in medicine. 💪✨ Did you know?

Fast forward to today, and women now make up more than half of all medical students in the U.S. We're kicking off Women in Medicine Month with an inspiring timeline that chronicles the incredible journey of women in medicine—from early pioneers to today’s trailblazers who continue to break barriers and make history. 🌟 Read more about the remarkable achievements of women in medicine: https://ow.ly/wo7A50T6QwI #WomenInMedicine #WomenInMedicineMonth #WIMMonth #MedicalHistory
