From Editors

The CHPAMS Monthly is an e-newsletter of the China Health Policy and Management Society (CHPAMS). The Newsletter provides updates and activities related to CHPAMS and information of potential interest for CHPAMS members.

President’ Message: The COVID-19 Pandemic

The ongoing coronavirus epidemic is on everyone’s mind as its prevalence continues to grow. Each day seems to bring more alarming news. Questions, meanwhile, about its origin, transmission and treatment are also mounting, but there is much about this disease that we still do not know.

Experts from CHPAMS have sprung into action to lend their expertise. They are working to model virus spread, increase public awareness with accurate scientific information and supporting an effective global response. I am proud of the work that they have done and continue to do. As in previous issues of CHPAMS monthly newsletter, in this issue we continue to highlight members’ research and media efforts towards ending this public health emergency. Coordinated efforts from public health professionals across the globe are required if we are to effectively stop it and prevent future outbreaks. We look forward to fostering more collaborations among our members to help make this happen.

In addition to all your endeavors fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, all registered CHPAMS members, please remember to spare some time to vote for our future leadership. The election will be closed on May 4, 2020 (mid-night US ET).

Stay safe and be well!

Xi Chen, PhD
President, CHPAMS

Dear CHPAMS members:

We are pleased to announce the candidates for the China Health Policy and Management Society (CHPAMS) 2020-2022 Board of Directors and President-elect.

The Nomination Committee includes Dr. Lizheng Shi (Chair, Nomination Committee; President-elect, CHPAMS), Dr. Xi Chen (President, CHPAMS), and Dr. Zhuo (Adam) Chen (Immediate Past President, CHPAMS).

We will use Balloteer (https://www.balloteer.com/) for the election. Balloteer allows anonymized voting with one vote per voting member.

CHPAMS Remembering Teh-wei Hu

DrTehWeiHu.jpg

 CHPAMS is deeply saddened by our loss of Dr. Teh-Wei Hu, professor emeritus of health economics at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health, who passed away on February 3, 2020. He was a long-standing member of the CHPAMS Advisory Board and served in the Reviewing Committee of our highest honor – CHPAMS Inspiration Award from the beginning.

Born in Shanghai and raised in Taiwan, Dr. Hu moved to the United States in 1961, where he worked at the World Bank and earned a PhD in econometrics at the University of Wisconsin in 1967. His first application of econometrics to evaluate the state welfare system's child health spending launched his 50-year career as a health economist. For much of his career at UC Berkeley, Dr. Hu researched the economic and health benefits of tobacco taxes, advised policymakers to significantly increase tobacco tax and cut medical care costs in California.

Dr. Hu brought this research to China, where nearly a fourth of the country’s population smokes, and advised Chinese health officials and policymakers to introduce its first tobacco tax in 2015. Throughout this work, Dr. Hu published multiple books and articles on tobacco policy in China and began advising former students and colleagues around the world on tobacco-related health policy and interventions. His influence soon began impacting research in Indonesia, Tanzania, and elsewhere. In 2011, the CDC appointed him to its Interagency Committee on Smoking and Health, and in 2014, the World Health Organization awarded him with a World No Tobacco Day award.

Beyond his work in tobacco policy, Dr. Hu will be remembered as a kind mentor and a passionate advocate. After retiring from teaching in 2004, he continued to advise students on their research and considered it a part of his mission to elevate their work for the good of public health. You will find below indelible memories and beautiful moments documented by some of former students and collaborators.

In memory of Dr. Hu’s substantial legacy to all of us and in celebration of his extraordinary life, CHPAMS Board of Directors voted unanimously to name the highest honor awarded by our Society as Teh-Wei Hu Inspiration Award.

Please find the link to the Obituary on UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health Website

Ten years of health-care reform in China: Progress and gaps in Universal Health Coverage
Professor Winnie Yip, Harvard China Health Partnership

On October 8, 2019 from 6-8 pm, the Harvard China Health Partnership invites you to our next dinner seminar.

In 2009, China launched major health-care reform to provide all citizens with equal access to basic health care with reasonable quality and financial risk protection. The Government quadrupled its funding for health, expanded social insurance for all, and encouraged local governments to conduct pilots to reform their health delivery system. In 10 years, China has made substantial progress in improving equal access to care and enhancing financial protection, especially for people of lower socioeconomic status. However, gaps remain. Professor Winnie Yip will be joined by a panel of speakers who will comment on future prospects for China’s health care system and will engage with the audience on lessons to be drawn for other countries aspiring to achieve universal health coverage.

From Editors

CHPAMS Newsletter is a monthly e-newsletter from the China Health Policy and Management Society (CHPAMS). The Newsletter serves as a communication platform to provide updates and activities related to CHPAMS and information of potential interest for CHPAMS members. 

President’s Message

Amid rising tensions of global trade and economics disputes, the flattening globalized world might nevertheless become more harmonized if people can share more common values. In this regard, public health has been an appealing arena that could serve as the glue to bind people together. Encouragingly, the world has evolved with unprecedented improvement in human wellbeing over the past two centuries, although wealth between the poor and the rich has been increasingly diverging.

To promote a more convergent and sustainable world, what are some common global values our human communities could offer? What might be the role of public health? What part can China play during its health reform and transitions? These are some of the questions we keep asking ourselves as members of CHPAMS, a global professional organization for over 2,200 researchers and scholars around the world to advance public health research and policy practice. Our mission is to improve health and health equity and contribute to the advancement of population health research, practice, and education of areas including but not limited to, health policy and management, health economics, epidemiology, and global health. We strive to accomplish our mission by fostering and promoting scholarly exchanges among its members and with Chinese public health community.

As usual, you will find in this issue of CHPAMS monthly newsletter our exciting activities and events, media communications, job opportunities, conferences, and research updates. Let us work harder to move our mission forward! Happy reading!

-Xi Chen, CHPAMS President (2018-2020)

CHPAMS Announcement

  1. 2018 CHPAMS RISING SCHOLAR BEST PAPER AWARD

In 2016, CHPAMS established the Rising Scholar Best Paper Award to recognize outstanding peer review publications authored by CHPAMS members who are in their early career.  For the 2018 Award, we received an unprecedented number of high-quality publications. A seven-member Award Committee completed two rounds of thorough and independent review of the applications and selected two papers as the winners.  We are delighted to announce the following two papers and their lead authors as the recipients of the 2018 CHPAMS Best Paper Award!

Dr. Donglang Zhang, et al. “Expansion of Telestroke Services Improves Quality of Care Provided in Super Rural Areas” Health Affair. 2018 Dec;37(12):2005-2013

Donglan Zhang.JPG

This paper presents trends in utilization of a two-way video conferencing telemedicine technology – telestroke – that connects large stroke centers and lower-resourced facilities to optimize acute stroke management in the U.S., and assesses the association between providing telestroke services and quality of care and medical expenditures, by urban versus rural county of residence among fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries. The study finds that telestroke services have increased rapidly during the period from 2008 to 2015, with usage highest among patients in rural or super rural areas. Telestroke services improved quality of care and clinical outcomes, especially in super rural counties. The findings have important implications for policy dialogue aimed at reducing health disparities between rural and urban regions through expanding and reimbursing telemedicine technologies and services. Such evidence is also important and relevant to China’s health policy as China embraces emerging technologies in transforming its health delivery system to improve quality of care and reduce health disparities.

The paper’s lead author, Dr. Donglan Zhang, is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Health Policy and Management, College of Public Health, University of Georgia (UGA).  She is also adjunct faculty at Shanghai Children’s Medical Center, affiliated with Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. Before joining the faculty at UGA, she worked as a prevention effectiveness fellow at U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She received her PhD in Health Policy and Management from the University of California at Los Angeles in 2014. Dr. Zhang’s research has been focusing on insurance coverage and access to care and prevention of chronic diseases from a system perspective in the US and China.

Dr. Jing Li, “Plastic surgery or primary care? Altruistic preferences and expected specialty choice of U.S. medical students” J Health Econ. 2018 Nov;62:45-59

Jing Li.jpg

This paper is the first that rigorously measures altruism of U.S. medical professionals and uses it to predict career choice. The paper used a cutting-edge methodology developed in experimental economics to measure altruism among over 500 medical students recruited from schools around the U.S.  The paper finds that medical students with a lower degree of altruism are significantly more likely to choose high-income specialties and also significantly predicts students' self-reported likelihood of practicing medicine in an underserved area. This altruism measure is more predictive of specialty than other characteristics, including parental income, student loan amount and Medical College Admission Test score. This paper demonstrates that laboratory measure of altruism can predict important real-world decisions of medical professionals, and highlights the need to enhance altruism level and potentially change the specialty distribution among future physicians. The tool for measuring altruism preferences can be adapted for use in different languages and countries, including China.

The paper’s sole author, Dr. Jing Li, is an Assistant Professor of Health Policy and Economics in the Department of Healthcare Policy and Research at Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Li obtained her PhD in Health Policy and MA in Economics from University of California, Berkeley. She also holds an MA in International Comparative Education from Stanford University and a BA in Economics & English from Peking University. Dr Li’s research focuses on examining the incentives and behaviors of healthcare providers, as well as their impact on healthcare resource allocation, especially in situations involving conflicts of interests between providers and patients.

  1. 2018 CHPAMS INSPIRATION AWARD

It is with our greatest honor to announce the winner of CHPAMS’s 2018 Inspiration Award, Dr. Yaojiang Shi. CHPAMS established the Inspiration Award in August 2016 to recognize members’ extraordinary determination to challenge the “status quo”, overcome significant barriers and achieve accomplishments in scientific research, community service, or innovative activities that are above and beyond the expectation. The Inspiration Award was exclusively funded through member donations. In January 2019, CHPAMS started the nomination process and formed a five-member Award Committee that was made up of CHPAMS President Dr. Xi Chen and four distinguished researchers as below.

  • Teh-Wei Hu,      PhD, Professor Emeritus of Health Economics, University of California,      Berkeley School of Public Health

  • Gordon Liu, PhD,      Yangtze River Scholar Professor of Economics, Director of China Center for      Health Economics Research, Peking University National School of      Development

  • Winnie Yip,      PhD, Professor of the Practice of International Health Policy and      Economics, Department of Global Health and Population, Harvard T. Chan      School of Public Health

  • Hai Yu, MD,      PhD, Professor, Director of International Education Program and Director      of Center of Distance Education, Zhejiang University School of Medicine

DrYaojiangShi.png

We received three highly quality nominations. All the individuals and team members being nominated have exemplified perseverance, dedication, and leadership in their impressive achievements and accomplishments.  After independent assessments, the Award Committee selected Dr. Yaojiang Shi as the winner of the 2018 CHPAMS Inspiration Award.

Prof. Shi is a visionary and persistent researcher who has made significant contributions to health and welfare of low-income children, especially in Northwest China. He achieved a distinct but successful research career path by giving up opportunities in business and public service. More than three decades ago, he started collaborations with eminent American researchers, including Dr. Scott Rozelle, while the region was still experiencing extreme poverty and short of any research resources at that time.  With his leadership, he has built an active research center almost from the scratch and overcome significant challenges in government support, research resources, and team building to implement series of large randomized controlled trials to improve health and welfare of the vulnerable children in China. He has demonstrated high academic integrity and was respected by peers and junior researchers as the role model. His vision, courage, and persistence in research makes him highly qualified for this award.

Congratulations to Dr. Yaojiang Shi!

  1. 2018 CHPAMS VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AWARD

Each year, we grant Volunteer of the Year Award to a volunteer for his/her significant contributions to the organization. For 2018, we are delighted to announce the winner of CHPAMS Volunteer of the Year Award, Dr. Mengxi Zhang.

CHPAMS Announcements

  1. Greetings for the 10th Birthday of CHPAMS (From Dr. Sten Vermund)

“The 2018 conference is being held here. The Yale-China Association is 120 years old. Yale has had a working relationship in China that’s quite sustained and quite substantial. So we think it’s quite appropriate that you will choose our university as the American venue for this conference. We welcome all delegates from United States, from China and from the rest of the world to jointhis valuable conference with over 140 talks in the next two days. Welcome to New Haven!”

DrStenVermund.jpg

Dr. Sten Vermund is a pediatrician and infectious disease epidemiologist focused on diseases of low and middle income countries. His work on HIV-HPV interactions among women in Bronx methadone programs motivated a change in the 1993 CDC AIDS case surveillance definition and inspired cervical cancer screening programs launched within HIV/AIDS programs around the world. The thrust of his research has focused on health care access, adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights, and prevention of  HIV transmission among general and key populations, including mother-to-child.
