Docs worry CVS clinics coming between them, patients
When it comes to minor health care issues, scheduling a doctor’s office visit can sometimes be more of a headache than many people can stomach. At CVS Health Corp.’s MinuteClinics, however, patients can see a nurse practitioner and fill a prescription in one trip. But as CVS plans to expand MinuteClinic’s offerings as part of its HealthHUB initiative, some primary care physicians in Rhode Island worry that the health care retailer is encroaching into vital patient-doctor relationships, especially when it comes to people seeking help for serious conditions. “I get concerned when they’re sort of jumping into chronic care management, especially when they’re disconnected from a regular provider,” said Dr. David Bourassa, a pediatrician based in Woonsocket who also serves as chief medical officer for Thundermist Health Center. “They don’t have a lot of information, or they may be missing things. … Primary care doctors know about … [Read more...] about Docs worry CVS clinics coming between them, patients
TIF expanded to Pawtucket opportunity zones
A new law that aligns tax-increment financing authority in Pawtucket to newly created federal opportunity zones is seen by lawmakers as having the potential to rejuvenate neglected areas, including downtown and the area around the former Memorial Hospital. The measure, signed into law on July 8 by Gov. Gina M. Raimondo, is a refreshed version of the Pawtucket Red Sox ballpark bill approved by lawmakers last year. That version restricted the TIF authority to the development area around the proposed ballpark site. The new law expands it to three districts within the city that coincide with federally designated opportunity zones. Using the new law, the Pawtucket Redevelopment Agency may issue revenue bonds to help in the redevelopment of projects in defined areas. This would allow the city to finance public infrastructure improvements to facilitate redevelopment. According to a statement from the mayor’s office, the legislation will also ensure that the private sector assumes all of … [Read more...] about TIF expanded to Pawtucket opportunity zones
Third time no charm for talks to merge Lifespan and CNE
And so the beat goes on. Lifespan Inc. and Care New England Health System have once again ended talks to merge the two hospital systems, little more than a month after Gov. Gina M. Raimondo told the two parties to come to an agreement to merge and include Brown University and its Warren Alpert Medical School as part of the deal. This is the third time that the two health care systems have been unable to come to an agreement and create what the governor said was the preferred outcome of the talks: a health care system that is integrated, locally run and has an academic structure. At this point enmity between the parties involved is so deep and crosses so many generations that the leaders of the two systems cannot come to an agreement. But make no mistake. Consolidation will continue to be the order of the day in health care delivery, if for no other reason than to create bargaining power with the payer community [so long as Medicare for all does not become law]. As a result, we likely … [Read more...] about Third time no charm for talks to merge Lifespan and CNE
Cooperation serves food for good in Providence
There is an ongoing drumbeat of issues loosely related to food. Terms such as food desert, food insecurity and food activism are frequently heard. Cooperation, a term not heard as often, may be the solution. There is a new type of food store and part eatery on Cranston Street in Providence that was founded on cooperation. It is part of its name – Urban Greens Co-op Market. Open since late June, it is a unique kind of food retailer. Urban Greens is owned by the people who shop there. More than 1,400 member-owners make up a board of directors who share in the profits and have a say in the store’s operation. This concept is hardly new. It goes back to Colonial times. Consumer co-ops were begun to bring equitable prices to rural areas, as well as to provide an alternative to company stores in cities. Echoes of that era are heard today in the aisles of Urban Greens. Jesse Cardarelli, a manager-owner, is a longtime grocer, having spent nearly 30 years at Eastside Marketplace … [Read more...] about Cooperation serves food for good in Providence
