Disclosing minority ownership can build resilience during product failures by leveraging consumer empathy.

A new study has taken a closer look at how healthcare quality is measured in three major countries—Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom—uncovering striking similarities and critical gaps. The research delved into Israel’s Quality Indicators in Community Healthcare (QICH), the US’s Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS), and the UK’s Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF). While all three systems prioritize family medicine and process-focused metrics, the study highlights a lack of attention to structural and outcome-based indicators. The findings underscore the need to rethink how we assess healthcare quality, urging a more balanced approach that includes all aspects of medical care, from infrastructure to patient outcomes. This analysis sheds light on how countries can learn from each other to provide better, more equitable care for their populations.

In 2023, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) struck down race-conscious admissions in higher education, reshaping affirmative action policies. This special report examines the ruling’s wide-reaching effects, particularly on underrepresented minority (URM) students, and proposes strategies for preserving diversity in higher education and professional fields, including medicine.
