NEHI submitted comments on Sentator Alexander's White Paper on Preparing for the Next Pandemic.

NEHI’s comments reflect its own views but were shaped by a gathering that included a group of its members and expert stakeholders who focused on recommendations 3.4 and 5.1 in the White Paper, as these squarely raise issues affecting the administration of vaccines now and in the future.

NEHI released its newest policy brief, Taking Stock: Patient Medication Adherence and Chronic Disease Management. This paper updates research that NEHI conducted a decade ago. There have been several important improvements in medication adherence fostered by changes in insurance coverage, the increased availability of generic, lower cost medications, provider incentives to address population health, and a host of innovations in technology and pharmaceutical care.

Significant opportunities, however, remain to improve both medication adherence and the consistent, appropriate use of medications.

NEHI (the Network for Excellence in Health Innovation) is a national nonprofit, nonpartisan organization composed of stakeholders from across all key sectors of health and health care. Its mission is to advance innovations that improve health, enhance the quality of health care, and achieve greater value for the money spent.
