Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Democratic U.S. Congressman Pat Ryan of New York has proposed the Improving Access to Emergency Medical Services for Seniors Act, aiming to introduce at-home care services under Medicare coverage. The bill advocates for a "treatment-in-place model" to provide minor health issue treatment at home, eliminating the need for Medicare patients to be transported to hospitals for reimbursement. This change attempts to alleviate the financial burden on taxpayers and recognizes the essential role of emergency medical service providers.

By Douglas P. Slakey, MD, MPH, Professor and Chair, Center for Health Systems Science, Thomas F. Frist, Jr. College of Medicine, Belmont University. The evolving landscape of clinical trials presents an opportunity to enhance the rigor and relevance of medical research. Incorporating health systems science (HSS) into clinical trials can be transformative and help us shape the future of ensuring value in healthcare delivery for individuals, communities, and populations. HSS encompasses a broad understanding of how health systems influence patient care and outcomes, integrating policy, financial considerations, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). Incorporating HSS into clinical trial design, implementation, and interpretation is crucial for achieving more equitable and effective health outcomes.
