Podcasts about louis block professor

R. Tamara Konetzka, PhD, the Louis Block Professor of Public Health Sciences at the University of Chicago, has been studying the intersection of Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) and Medicare. Her research has found that when dual eligibles use Medicaid HCBS they are more likely to use home health versus skilled nursing facilities after hospitalizations. Konetzka also is fascinated by the idea that community-initiated home health serves as a frontier for a long-term care benefit. Other areas of research for Konetzka are Medicare Advantage. She'd like to examine the use of supplemental benefits, but there is not much data available on the use of them. She speculates that the Trump administration will have a hands-off approach to MA and likely will not expand funding for HCBS.Follow us on social media:X (formerly Twitter): @McKHomeCareFacebook: McKnight's Home CareLinkedIn: McKnight's Home CareInstagram: mcknights_homecareFollow University of Chicago on social media:X (formerly Twitter): @UChicagoFacebook: The University of ChicagoLinkedIn: University of ChicagoInstagram: uchicago

Louis Block Professor of Public Health Sciences, R. Tamara Konetzka, had an unusual career path that took her to various roles and places before finding her true passion in public health, health economics, and health policy. In this episode, where she talks about her research experience and career stories, she also emphasizes the importance of finding the right fit, be it the right Ph.D. school, the right job, the right research topic; fit is a recurring theme that guided her along the way. As a leading expert in her field, Professor Konetzka continues her work to mentor students, find evidence in research, influence policy-makers, and make better changes for society. 

University of Chicago researcher R. Tamara Konetzka was behind some of the earliest research into COVID-19 and nursing homes, which often generated provocative and unexpected results: While media coverage focused on individual outbreaks and historic lapses in infection control, Konetzka's work suggested that past quality didn't have much of an impact on a nursing home's pandemic risk when compared to bed counts, overall community spread, and the racial demographics of residents. More than 18 months into the pandemic, Konetzka joins Susan Ryan and “Elevate Eldercare” to discuss how policymakers should apply those lessons learned, with a particular focus on ensuring that future emergency response plans recognize long-term care's vital role in the overall health care delivery system – something that was missing during the early focus on hospitals as epicenters of pandemic-related support. Konetzka also critiques the government's longer-term responses to COVID in nursing homes in 2020 and 2021, including focused infection control surveys and performance-based bonuses for facilities that kept case counts low during certain periods. While those solutions might head off isolated issues, Konetzka argues that real reform must focus on much larger systems – as well as harder-to-measure metrics such as quality of life and patient-centered care plans. Konetzka is the Louis Block Professor of Public Health Sciences at UChicago, where she also holds a secondary position in the Department of Medicine, Section of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine.   Check out a summary of Konetzka's research on Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=BAjRCdAAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate Read coverage of Konetzka's May 2020 testimony before Congress: https://skillednursingnews.com/2020/05/no-connection-between-nursing-home-ratings-profit-status-and-covid-19-but-race-a-major-factor/   Show notes/call to action: Learn more about The Green House Project: www.thegreenhouseproject.org

This conference is in honor of Partha Niyogi, the Louis Block Professor in Computer Science and Statistics at the University of Chicago. Partha lost his battle with cancer in October of 2010, at the age of 43. Partha made fundamental contributions to a variety of fields including language evolution, statistical inference, and speech recognition. The underlying themes of learning from observations and a rigorous basis for algorithms and models permeated his work.
