    Several advocacy groups are calling on Congress to make changes to telehealth reimbursement under Medicare permanent to improve ongoing access to telehealth. For-profit hospitals reported positive Q2 earnings, but rising COVID cases and staffing shortages could impact the rest of the year. Antibody response to vaccines is less effective in older populations, prompting calls to widely vaccinate vulnerable groups. Experts warned that US health systems are unprepared for worsening ransomware attacks if issues are not addressed. New guidance considers people with long COVID-19 symptoms disabled under the ADA. The healthcare industry is questioned on whether it will lead against climate change after the pandemic subsides.

    Healthcare Industry News: Concern for worsening ransomware attacks, positive Q2 earnings and
    more

    POLITICAL

    At the start of the pandemic, the DHHS removed barriers to telehealth reimbursement under
    Medicare. Now, 430 advocacy groups are calling on Congress to make these changes permanent
    so that telehealth access remains, even after the pandemic is over.

    ECONOMIC

    For-profit hospitals are reporting positive Q2 earnings, but rising case numbers of the COVID-19
    delta variant compounded with continued staffing shortages are ongoing uncertainties that may
    impact the rest of the year.

    SOCIAL

    Antibody response to the COVID-19 vaccine appears most effective among younger people, and
    less effective in populations aged 70 and older. In other words, older people aren’t safe from the
    virus just because they’re vaccinated. This finding is prompting further calls for widespread
    vaccination to protect vulnerable populations.

    TECHNOLOGY

    According to experts presenting in a recent hearing to the U.S. House of Representatives, United
    States health systems are unprepared for the threat of ransomware attacks. Recommendations
    were made, and, if not checked, ransomware is a problem that will only continue to worsen.

    LEGAL

    The DOJ and HHS have issued a new guidance that people with long COVID-19 symptoms are
    considered disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This will ideally ensure rights for
    people with long COVID-19.

    ENVIRONMENTAL

    The health care industry and its authorities have shown that they can lead in the pandemic crisis.
    However, once the pandemic subsides, the question may become whether or not that industry is
    willing to lead against climate change.
