According to the U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory on the Healing Effects of Social Connection and Community, social disconnection is being called a critical public health issue. The epidemic of loneliness is widespread and may have profound consequences for our individual and collective health and well-being. And the "costs" of loneliness are real.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) waiver, which launched in November 2020, has prompted hundreds of hospitals across the country to initiate programs that allow certain patients to complete their acute care stays in the familiar comfort of their homes. But this waiver is about to expire in December 2024. It is a success; but can we continue it?

National Case Management Week in 2023 is October 8-14. This celebration of case managers has been going on since 1999 after the Individual Case Management Association (ICMA) and the Case Management Society of America (CMSA) merged. Since the 1990s, case management has evolved significantly; this evolution impacts every case manager, on every case by case, year by year.

It is estimated that currently about 10,000 people turn 65 years old every day. Even without pandemics, the chronic diseases of this aging population beg for new, innovative interventions. One trend that may be a significant offshoot of the 2020 focus on internet health care is hospital health care in the home.

There is a growing trend to care for patients in their home: Families and patients want it, full hospitals demand it, and insurance companies will benefit from it. However, despite all the "positives," there are real threats and dangers to this growth. A lot depends on upcoming choices health care workers make in the coming years.

"Gratitude" is more than a buzzword and may be more important than we realize. The science of gratitude is worth delving into, as science is beginning to show the following: the symptoms of the grateful person versus the stressed person with headaches, sleeplessness, compassion fatigue, and digestive issues can be likened to the sympathetic nervous system (the fight or flight response) versus the parasympathetic nervous system (the part of the nervous system that allows our body to "rest and digest")-the grateful person.
RESUMO
"Quiet Eye" is a technique that has been studied in sports, law enforcement, military, and medical settings; it refers to the amount of time one spends concentrating on a specific "next step" before initiating movement. Noted to reduce anxiety, and even have a sense of slowing things down a bit, this can be used in any situation from before walking into a difficult family's room to presenting a bid to leadership for more case managers in your department.

Death doulas are people who help people at the end of life with dying, just like birth doulas help at the beginning of life. Views of traditions surrounding death, such as funerals and other ways to memorialize loved ones, are shifting. Death doula associations are seeing an increased interest from people who are seeking death doulas and those who wish to become death doulas.

Recently, research is exploring the value of forgetting. As opposed to pathological forgetting, such as in Alzheimer's disease, normal forgetting may help reduce unneeded pieces of information so we can retain the most relevant information for long-term storage. In fact, the brain has molecular "nano-machines" within the neurons for both remembering and forgetting.

Although accurate secondary statistics may never be known, the COVID-19 pandemic has certainly been a major contributor to several health care issues: social isolation/loneliness, behavioral sequelae (anxiety, drug overdoses, and suicide), delays in treating preventive care that lead to late-stage diagnoses, and even a resurgence of drug-resistant infections.
