10 Ways Children With Language Disorders Can Maintain Both Physical Distance and Social Connection
Social distancing—or more accurately, physical distancing—is now our way of life. As difficult as it is, it’s our new normal, at least for the short term. Even with physical distance, we find ways to connect socially. We call or use video chats to stay in touch with friends and family, email jokes or stories, and post on social media. Other community activities continue virtually: worship services, fitness classes, concerts, and more. We discover ways to maintain social distance without losing social connections.
Children with language disorders, however, find social interactions challenging in the best of times. ...

Minimizing the Risks of PTSD from the COVID-19 Pandemic
It is a stressful time. Many have begun feeling the emotional and psychological effects of being quarantined. People are being told to stay indoors, to limit leaving their home except for necessities and to skip socializing altogether, if possible. Supermarket shelves are empty; toilet paper and hand sanitizer are sold out. Many communities are placing restrictions on where people can go. Buzzwords like “social distancing” and “martial law” are in the news in recent weeks. Hospitals are overcrowded and staff are overworked. Many playgrounds, amusement parks, hotels and beaches have been closed until further notice....

Less ‐Costly Ways to Reduce the Harm of COVID-19 Without Travel‐and‐Immigration‐Bans
ConclusionA mix of the policy options above, from Pigovian taxes and subsidies to small changes in property rights as well as reducing ignorance and other regulatory changes at airports, could have a large effect in reducing the spread of COVID-19 at a very low cost. Extreme options like travel ‐and‐immigration‐bans might be appropriate if the expected cost of COVID-19 climbs beyond a certain point, but less ‐costly policies should be tried first. In other words, let’s have TSA agents squirt hand sanitizer into the hands of all travelers before closing the airports. (Source: Cato-at-liberty)

Diffusing Innovation: A Case Study Of Care Management In Louisiana
Conclusion
The diffusion of innovation in health care doesn’t happen on its own. As we learned in Louisiana, it takes strong support for early adopters and gleaning from their experiences to tailor workflows as implementation efforts are spread to other practices. It also takes a collaborative learning environment, inclusive of both online and in-person forums, and standardized training content that can be tailored to the unique needs of each practice.
With local leaders, a dedicated team in the field, support from a growing national value-based care network, and comprehensive population health technology that helps prac...

President Obama's Task Force on 21st Century Policing
Following the protests and riots in Ferguson last year, President Obama created a Task Force on 21st Century Policing to examine policing problems and make recommendations. The Task Force issued its final report last month. In this post, I want to highlight the numerous ways in which the report would expand the role of the federal government.
By way of background, policing is supposed to be the near-exclusive province of state and local government under the U.S. Constitution. The federal government is nevertheless constantly seeking to expand its jurisdiction. The number of federal crimes and the number of federal ...

CME: Online Medical Education Could Revolutionize Training in Emerging Markets
A recent article published in Forbes argues that online medical education has the opportunity to revolutionize training for doctors and nurses in emerging markets. Internet-based learning tools “will increase the number of health workers globally and train them to provide high-quality care in places that desperately need it,” writes Will Greene, who runs TigerMine Ventures, an advisory firm that helps companies and organizations in Southeast Asia.
Greene argues that medical education in emerging markets “typically suffers from two problems.” He writes:
First, medical universities and residency programs rarely...
