SUMMARY:Coverage and Access Issues Affecting Women Living with Autoimmune Diseases
DESCRIPTION:The rate of autoimmune diseases and conditions in the United States is rising—and women are disproportionately affected. \nGenerally\, autoimmune diseases cannot be cured\, so treatment focuses on managing symptoms and slowing the progression and impacts of the disease. However\, utilization management (UM) tools\, such as prior authorization and step therapy\, are increasingly being used by payers and can cause delays in care\, which can be devastating for patients\, resulting in disease progression and higher costs over time. \nIn this webinar\, panelists reviewed coverage and access issues that could negatively affect those with autoimmune diseases and conditions\, the tenants of prior authorization and step therapy\, discuss the role these policies can play in patient outcomes and on providers\, and how current policies could be modified to better serve individuals living with autoimmune diseases and conditions. \nWhile this webinar is open to the public\, SWHR encourages new members of the 118th Congress and their staff to attend. *This event is widely attended and relevant to official duties.  \nThis event is free and open to the public. \n  \nCheck out the full SWHR 2023 Autoimmune Policy series: \n\nThe Growing National Burden of Autoimmune Diseases and the Role of Policy in Improving Outcomes (January 17\, 2023)\nCoverage and Access Issues Affecting Women Living with Autoimmune Diseases (February 7\, 2023)\nThe Role of Federal Agencies in Supporting Women with Autoimmune Diseases and Conditions (March 17\, 2023)\nDiversity in Autoimmune Clinical Trials: Addressing Areas of Need and Opportunity (March 30\, 2023)

SUMMARY:Women's Heart Health: 30 Years of the NIH Revitalization Act
DESCRIPTION:June 2023 will mark the 30th anniversary of the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993\, a law which mandated the inclusion of women and minorities in all NIH-funded research. WHAM is excited to recognize the anniversary of this historic Act by hosting a series of virtual (and in-person) events throughout the year\, exploring what’s changed\, what hasn’t\, and where we need to go next.\n\nIn 1993\, Dr. Nanette Wenger’s seminal paper\, “Cardiovascular Health and Disease in Women” in the New England Journal of Medicine\, shook the medical community by highlighting the striking differences in women’s heart disease risks\, prognosis\, treatment and outcomes. Despite advances in our understanding in some areas of women and cardiovascular disease\, the #1 killer of women\, the field appears to be still largely understudied and underfunded.\n\nWhere do we stand today\, and where do we need to be? Join in for this roundtable dialogue\, featuring:\n\nDr. Jennifer Hall\, Chief\, Data Science\, American Heart Association\nCarolee Lee\, CEO and Founder\, WHAM\nDr. Kathy Magliato\, Founder\, CEO\, Chief Medical Officer\, Cordex Systems\, Inc.; one of the few female cardiothoracic surgeons in the world\nDr. Stacey Rosen\, Senior Vice President\, Women’s Health\, Katz Institute for Women’s Health\, Northwell Health\nDr. Nanette Wenger\, Director\, Cardiac Clinics\, Grady Health; Professor of Medicine\, Division of Cardiology\, Emory University School of Medicine\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Taking it to Heart: Addressing Cardiovascular Disease in Women
DESCRIPTION:Diagnostic tests and procedures offer opportunities to detect diseases\, monitor disease progression\, guide treatments\, and evaluate treatment effectiveness. Some diagnostic tests are invasive\, such as a biopsy or endoscopy; whereas others are noninvasive\, such as x-rays and ultrasound imaging procedures. \nInnovations in diagnostics provide access to health information\, helping women make informed decisions about their health care at every stage of their lives. Screening and diagnostic testing can lead to earlier detection of disease\, improve health outcomes\, and contribute toward reducing health disparities among women. Research seeking to expand the development and availability of diagnostic tools for conditions that exclusively\, differently\, or disproportionately affect women is invaluable in furthering women’s health across sectors. \nSWHR is hosting a series of public forums to share educational information about the importance and value of innovative diagnostics throughout the lifespan and across disease states and conditions. The events discuss how to improve health outcomes for diseases and conditions that disproportionately or differently affect women\, with special a focus on cancer and healthy aging. \nThe 2023 SWHR Value of Diagnostics within Women’s Health series includes: \n\nTaking it to Heart: Addressing Cardiovascular Disease in Women (February\, 13\, 2023)\nPutting our Heads Together: Diagnostic Innovations for Alzheimer’s Disease (June 6\, 2023)\nClearing the Air About Lung Cancer in Women (November 17\, 2023)\n\n  \nFollow the conversation on Twitter at @SWHR and #SWHRtalksDiagnostics. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:PRGLAC Then and Now: Where We Are and Where We're Going
DESCRIPTION:The 21st Century Cures Act established the Task Force on Research Specific to Pregnant Women and Lactating Women (PRGLAC) to advise the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regarding gaps in knowledge and research on safe and effective therapies for pregnant women and lactating women. The Task Force’s work culminated in a set of recommendations based on information gleaned during four open meetings and a public comment period. The central theme of those recommendations was “the need to alter cultural assumptions that have significantly limited scientific knowledge of therapeutic product safety\, effectiveness\, and dosing for pregnant and lactating women.” \nDuring this congressional briefing and national webinar\, designed specifically for—but not limited to—members of the 118th Congress\, panelists reviewed the state of PRGLAC\, the PRGLAC recommendations and their implementation status\, the current legislative and regulatory landscape\, and review actions that can be taken at the federal level to increase representation of these populations in clinical trials. \n*This event is widely attended and relevant to official duties. \nThis event is part of a series about the inclusion of pregnant and lactating peoples in research. The full series includes: \n\nAddressing Concerns and Considerations Surrounding the Inclusion of Pregnant and Lactating Populations in Research (December 6\, 2022)\nPregnant and Lactating Populations in Research: How Leaving These Populations Out Leaves Them Behind (January 26\, 2023)\nPRGLAC Then and Now: Where We Are and Where We’re Going (February 14\, 2023)

SUMMARY:The Impact of Menopause on Women’s Health: A Workplace Initiative
DESCRIPTION:An estimated 6\,000 women in the United States reach menopause daily\, with 51 being the average age. For many individuals\, the hormonal changes that take place during the menopause transition are associated with physical and psychological symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles\, hot flashes\, vaginal dryness\, mood fluctuations\, sleep disruptions\, and cognitive challenges. These highly variable symptoms are commonly misdiagnosed\, resulting in inappropriate management and disruption of day-to- day activities. With approximately 44% of women in the workforce being older than 45\, menopause symptoms have been reported to affect up to 20% of the US workforce. With approximately 44% of women in the workforce being older than 45\, increases in retirement age and life expectancy are putting a demand on workplace settings to recognize the impact of menopause on women’s health. Menopause is a life stage that all women of a certain age will experience\, and their impact on society has significant and far-reaching economic\, social\, and health care implications. Recruiting and retaining midlife and senior women in their careers is key to maintaining a diverse and sustainable intergenerational workforce. \nSWHR is convening an interdisciplinary Menopause Workplace Education Working Group of menopause and workplace wellness researchers and strategists\, human resource professionals\, advocacy leaders\, and health care providers for a series of closed meetings throughout 2023. During these meetings\, the Working Group will discuss the impact of menopause on women’s health\, with a special emphasis on addressing challenges women encounter while they are adjusting to menopause and midlife aging in diverse working environments.
