How Effective Are Incident‐Reporting Systems for Improving Patient Safety? A Systematic Literature Review
ConclusionsThe results indicate that IRSs could be more effective if the criteria for what counts as an incident were explicit, they were owned and led by clinical teams rather than centralized hospital departments, and they were embedded within organizations as part of wider safety programs.

Composite Measures of Health Care Provider Performance: A Description of Approaches
ConclusionsBecause provider rankings and rewards under P4P programs may be sensitive to both context and the data, careful analysis is warranted before deciding to implement a particular method. A better understanding of both when and where to use composite measures and the incentives created by composite measures are likely to be important areas of research as the use of composite measures grows.

Do March‐In Rights Ensure Access to Medical Products Arising From Federally Funded Research? A Qualitative Study
ConclusionsThe Bayh‐Dole Act's march‐in rights continue to be invoked by policymakers and health advocates, most recently in the context of new, high‐cost products originally discovered with federally funded research. We found that the existence of march‐in rights may select for government research licensees more likely to commercialize the results and that they can be used to extract minor concessions from licensees. But as currently specified in the statute, such march‐in rights are unlikely to serve as a counterweight to lower the prices of medical products arising from federally funded research.

Walking the Line: Navigating Market and Gift Economies of Care in a Consumer‐Directed Home‐Based Care Program for Older Adults
ConclusionsGiven economic and health constraints, caregivers cannot always compensate for cuts in formal supports by providing uncompensated time and resources. Similarly, low‐income older adults are not competitive in the caregiving marketplace and, given the inadequacy of compensated hours, often depend on unpaid care. Policies that restrict formal long‐term services and supports thus leave the needs of both caregivers and consumers unmet. (Source: The Milbank Quarterly)

Potential Policies and Laws to Prohibit Weight Discrimination: Public Views from 4 Countries
ConclusionsPublic support for legal measures to prohibit weight discrimination can be found in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Iceland, especially for laws to remedy this discrimination in employment. Our findings provide important information for policymakers and interest groups both nationally and internationally and can help guide discussions about policy priorities to reduce inequities resulting from weight discrimination.
