Middletown PZC member raises ADA concerns about remote participation
Middletown Press - MIDDLETOWN - An eight-year member of the city's Planning & Zoning Commission who participated in a meeting this week by telephone due to medical issues, said she was displeased when members publicly discussed her request for accommodations under the Americans With Disabilities Act . Commissioner Molly Salafia, who has served two terms on the panel, gave birth to her daughter prematurely seven weeks ago by cesarean section. Both she and her infant suffered health consequences in the beginning, and as a result, Salafia is often weak and is concerned about driving to and from meetings at night, she said. At the onset of Wednesday night's meeting , alternate Steven Kovach was seated in her absence. The panel then voted unanimously to suspend Roberts Rules of Order and Salafia was granted permission to teleconference into Wednesday's meeting, according to the videotape . Salafia said she was uncomfortable that a vote was taken. "With ADA, you don't set ground rules if a person

A medical algorithm affecting 200 million patients has steered black patients away from getting higher-quality care, showing just how biased artificial intelligence can be
Business Insider - A new study in the journal Science just found a widely-used algorithm gave more complex treatment to white patients than sicker black patients. The study's findings point to one of the many risks to implementing more AI in healthcare. Business Insider Intelligence predicts that spending on healthcare AI is projected to grow at an annualized 48% between 2017 and 2023. Algorithms also strip doctors and nurses from the autonomy to diagnose and treat patients individually. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Technology could likely be making healthcare more racially biased, a new study finds. One algorithm that identifies which patients would benefit from complex health procedures favored treating white patients than sicker black ones between 2013 and 2015. The algorithm predicted black patients would cost less, which signalled to medical providers that their illnesses must not be that bad. But, in reality, black patients cost less because they don't purchase healthca

Cleaning plant troubles could lead to hospital tool shortage
AP - WASHINGTON (AP) - Hospitals could soon face shortages of critical surgical tools because several plants that sterilize the equipment have been shut down, government health officials said Friday. The Food and Drug Administration flagged the issue in an online statement to medical professionals, saying the result could be years of shortages of supplies used in heart surgery, knee replacements, C-sections and many other procedures. The warning follows the recent closure of several sterilization facilities that use ethylene oxide. The gas is critical for cleaning medical equipment, but it can be hazardous at elevated levels and is increasingly being scrutinized by state health and environmental officials. "The impact resulting from closure of these and perhaps more facilities will be difficult to reverse," said FDA acting commissioner Ned Sharpless, in a statement, adding that the shortages "could compromise patient care." The FDA urged hospitals to inventory their supplies and ale

Insurance for health insurance
AP - Health insurance costs have climbed so high, there's insurance for it. More employers are offering their workers supplemental coverage for expenses that crop up when an unexpected illness or injury hits. These additional policies can help make up for lost wages due to disability leave and pay bills that regular health insurance doesn't cover. They're often available in the fall open enrollment window that many companies provide for benefit changes. Whether an employee should consider one of these plans can depend on their regular insurance, medical history and financial health. Here's a closer look. The coverage Plans that cover serious illnesses, accidents and hospital stays are the most common forms of supplemental coverage. They can be purchased separately, but some insurers also are starting to offer plans that include all three, said Brian Russell, a supplemental benefits expert with the consultant Mercer. About two-thirds of medium-size or big companies offered ac
