Conference (continued on page 2) (WHA Chief Quality Officer Passes Leadership Torch . continued from page 1) Dibbert has continued her involvement with the residency program’s planning and administration during her WHA tenure. WHA has drawn upon Dibbert’s expertise and leadership in CMS’s Partners for Patients Hospital Improvement Innovation Network (HIIN). WHA partnered with hospital associations in Illinois and Michigan to create the Great Lakes Partners for Patients and engaged over 300 hospitals across the region to improve patient outcomes. The Great Lakes model helped form the basis for the Superior Health Quality Alliance, a multi-state organization of quality improvement contractors dedicated to improving health care through innovation, effectiveness and efficiency. Dibbert’s work with Wisconsin hospitals and health systems to maintain and advance quality assurance initiatives and report on their outcomes through WHA’s CheckPoint website has helped keep both the public and Wisconsin lawmakers informed about the excellent standards of care practiced in the state. “I am proud to have been a part of WHA’s 100 years of advocacy,” said Dibbert, reflecting on her work on behalf of WHA’s members. “Beth has been a strong advocate for our members and has made significant contributions to health care quality practices and reporting protocols in the state,” said WHA President and CEO Eric Borgerding. “I appreciate the visibility she has created for the high-quality care Wisconsin hospitals and health systems provide. She has laid a strong foundation for her colleague Nadine Allen to build upon.” Allen joined WHA in 2016 from Beaver Dam Community Hospital, where she served three years as director of quality, patient safety and process improvement, during which time she participated in the first cohort of the RWHC-WHA Wisconsin Quality Residency Program. She has been heavily involved in HIIN improvement initiatives and serves as a valuable resource to hospital leaders on topics related to quality improvement strategy development and execution. Allen has also provided leadership to Wisconsin hospitals responding to COVID-19, helping hospital executives connect with state and federal resources. She looks forward to reengaging with WHA members on post-pandemic issues when conditions allow.

COMMENT Save it for the Judge? A Case Study on the Effects of Big Money on State Judicial Elections and the Call for Stronger Recusal Rules Gustavo A. Jimenez* Abstract Elected judges take an oath to be impartial in upholding the law. This is easily called into question when judges hear a case from parties that contributed large amounts of money into their judicial campaigns. The Wisconsin Supreme Court was once considered a model of an impartial and non-partisan state court system. However, state politics and U.S. Supreme Court jurisprudence have led to developments that have damaged the court’s reputation, politicized the court, and undermined the legitimacy of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

He graduated from the University of Delaware and Syracuse Law School and served on the New Castle County Council. At age 29, he became one of the youngest people ever elected to the United States Senate. As a Senator from Delaware, Vice President Biden served as Chairman or Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee for 17 years and was widely recognized for his work on criminal justice issues. He also served as Chairman or Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for 12 years, where he worked to shape U.S. foreign policy. During his time as the 47th Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden worked to reduce gun violence, address violence against women, and launch the Cancer Moonshot Research Initiative. Vice President Biden lost his first wife Neilia and his 13-month-old daughter Naomi in a car accident in 1972. His two sons, Beau and Hunter survived the crash. Beau went on to become Attorney General of the state of Delaware and also served honorably in the Iraq War, earning the Bronze Star. He died of brain cancer in 2015.

  • Pro-Life Hypocrisy on COVID-19 “ ” Summary
    Pro-Life Hypocrisy on COVID-19 “ ” Summary Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, anti-choice political leaders have made it crystal clear that they don’t value people’s lives. As NARAL has previously documented, self-styled pro-life politicians and pundits have largely ignored the threat of the virus and failed to “ ” work towards solutions that could protect public health – instead, choosing to capitalize on the crisis to attack abortion access. Now, against experts’ recommendations, these so-called pro-life politicians and pundits “ ” have criticized and defied stay-at-home orders in states across the country. Their latest messaging on the COVID-19 crisis falls into six main themes: ● Prioritizing the Economy Over Public Safety ● Promoting/Attending Anti-Quarantine Protests ● Attacking Social Distancing Orders ● Attacking Health Authorities ● Discouraging / Not Wearing PPE ● Dismissing COVID Death Toll If these anti-choice extremists truly valued people’s lives as they claim, they wouldn’t be telling them to put themselves in unsafe situations during a pandemic. There’s nothing pro-life about deliberately putting people’s health and safety at risk. “ ” Contents Prioritizing the Economy Over Public Safety Gov. Greg Abbott (TX) Glenn Beck Former Gov.

  • The Biden Administration Is Off and Running President Biden's
    Monthly Legislative Newsletter February 2021 The Biden Administration is Off and Running Immediately after President Biden’s inauguration on January 21, 2021, he and his team got to work. After being sworn in, President Biden went to the White House where he issued a plethora of Executive Actions, throughout his first week in office, that affect immigration, public health, COVID-19 response, climate, international travel, and discrimination. After issuing these orders, President Biden received criticism from House and Senate Republicans stating that unilateral Executive Action is not working in a bipartisan way and will not help Biden’s goal of uniting the country. In addition to President Biden’s Executive Actions, he released a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus plan that provides money for states and local governments, individual stimulus checks, funding for vaccine distribution, and more money for hospitals. That plan was also met with opposition by House and Senate Republicans, stating that it is too expensive and does not provide the targeted relief that is needed. President Biden indicated that he is more than willing to work with Republicans to find a bipartisan COVID-19 deal, however he would also consider using budget reconciliation, a parliamentary process that is filibuster proof, to pass his plan should a bipartisan agreement not be reached. Below you will find more information on President Biden’s Executive Actions related to health, President Biden’s COVID-19 relief plan, and budget reconciliation. President Biden’s Executive Orders on Health In his first week in office, President Biden issued a number of Executive Actions aimed at public health, COVID-19 mitigation, and the health supply chain.
