The Politics of Health Care : National Health Service Corps Gets $290 Million Boost from Affordable Care Act

Program helps primary care clinicians repay student loans in exchange for two years of service in underserved areas.

The Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) announced on Nov. 22 the launch of a new application cycle for the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program. The NHSC offers primary care medical, nursing, dental and mental health clinicians up to $60,000 to repay student loans in exchange for two years of service at health care facilities in medically underserved areas.

According to HHS, this year's investment in the program, which includes $290 million from the Affordable Care Act, seeks to address shortages in the primary health care workforce and translates into greater access to health care for those who might otherwise go without.

The Affordable Care Act also provides more flexibility in how NHSC administers the loan repayment program. In addition to monetary awards that are higher than previous years, NHSC will give members the option of working half-time to fulfill their service obligation and provide credit for some teaching hours.

National Nurses Week 2011 Nurses Trusted to Care

National Nurses Week 2011 Nurses Trusted to Care

Often described as an art and a science, nursing is a profession that embraces dedicated people with varied interests, strengths and passions because of the many opportunities the profession offers. As nurses, we work in emergency rooms, school based clinics, and homeless shelters, to name a few. We have many roles – from staff nurse to educator to nurse practitioner and nurse researcher – and serve all of them with passion for the profession and with a strong commitment to patient safety.

Background
National Nurses Week is celebrated annually from May 6, also known as National Nurses Day, through May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. Visit the NNW History page, part of the NNW Media Kit. See below to learn more.

Medical News: Cut Daily Salt Intake to 1,500 Mg, AHA Says - in Cardiovascular, Hypertension from MedPage Today

Daily intake of salt should be limited to 1,500 mg for all Americans, according to an advisory statement from the American Heart Association (AHA).

"The 2020 goal of the American Heart Association is to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20% while continuing to reduce deaths from [cardiovascular disease] and stroke by 20%," Lawrence J. Appel, MD, of Johns Hopkins, and colleagues wrote online in Circulation.

Two key components of improving cardiovascular health are population-wide lowering of blood pressure below 120/80 and reducing sodium chloride intake below 1,500 mg per day, observed AHA president Appel.

Action Points  --->
  • Note that the American Heart Association states that two of the key metrics for ideal cardiovascular health are a blood pressure of 120/80 mm Hg and sodium consumption of 1500 mg/day.

  • Note further that in this advisory, the AHA reviews the evidence for the benefits of reduced sodium intake and issues a call to action.
  • The evidence linking salt intake with blood pressure -- and the major adverse outcomes of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease -- is "impressive," wrote the authors of the advisory.

    That evidence includes more than 50 trials assessing the blood pressure effects of salt, as well as a meta-analysis showing that cutting salt intake by about 1,800 mg per day lowered blood pressure by 5 mm Hg systolic and 2.7 mm Hg diastolic.

    Various studies also have compared the benefits and outcomes of a number of different sodium reduction goals. Notably, reducing salt consumption also can help prevent the blood pressure increases that come with age, ultimately affecting 90% of adults.

    Should You Incorporate Your Registry Business? By Joseph Caracci, RN:"The short answer is yes! When starting a new nurse registry business, you are entering into a legal business environment that requires you to take steps to protect your personal assets, such as your home, your savings, and your retirement. With this in mind, you need to determine which legal form you are going to take for your new registry. Some of the common choices are a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a limited liability partnership (LLP), a limited liability company (LLC), and a corporation."

    Lifetime Earnings Soar with Education – How a Higher Education Leads to Higher Lifetime Earnings

    How much is higher education worth in cold hard money? A college master's degree is worth $1.3 million more in lifetime earnings than a high school diploma, according to a recent report from the U.S. Census Bureau.

    The report titled "The Big Payoff: Educational Attainment and Synthetic Estimates of Work-Life Earnings" (.pdf) reveals that over an adult's working life, high school graduates can expect, on average, to earn $1.2 million; those with a bachelor's degree, $2.1 million; and people with a master's degree, $2.5 million.

    Persons with doctoral degrees earn an average of $3.4 million during their working life, while those with professional degrees do best at $4.4 million.

    "At most ages, more education equates with higher earnings, and the payoff is most notable at the highest educational levels," said Jennifer Cheeseman Day, co-author of the report.

    FDA seeks less acetaminophen in prescription drugs | Reuters

    U.S. health regulators are requesting a limit on the amount of acetaminophen in prescription pain medicines in an effort to curb the risk of liver damage.

    The move announced on on Thursday aims to limit combination drugs such as the opioids Percocet and Vicodin to 325 milligrams of acetaminophen per pill and calls for them to carry a "black box" warning about potential liver failure.

    Some of these medicines now contain as much as 750 milligrams of acetaminophen, a drug also sold over the counter in lower doses as a generic painkiller and Johnson & Johnson's Tylenol.

    "This change will provide an increased margin of safety to help prevent liver damage due to acetaminophen overdosing, a serious public health problem," the U.S. Food and Drug Administration wrote in a public notice.

    Oregon sues Johnson & Johnson over "phantom" Motrin - Jan. 13, 2011

    Oregon has sued Johnson & Johnson for allegedly selling defective Motrin drugs to consumers in the state for more than a year, and for trying to secretly remove the faulty drugs from stores.

    "Companies that break the rules and put consumers at risk will be held accountable," Oregon Attorney General John Kroger said in a statement.

    The state filed the lawsuit Wednesday against J&J (JNJ, Fortune 500) and its two subsidiaries, McNeil PPC Inc. and McNeil Healthcare Inc. The company's McNeil division makes over-the-counter cold and pain drugs such as Tylenol, Motrin and Benadryl.

    The suit claims that J&J discovered in late 2008 that some supplies of Motrin sold in gas stations and convenience stores nationwide were defective because they were not properly dissolving.
