Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Using Wage Records to Help Workers | OAS Episode 262
Q: Paul, could you start out by telling us a little bit about South Carolina's experience with enhanced wage records and what questions lawmakers were trying to answer?
SC pursued SOC codes and hours worked to better understand workforce skills, tie graduates to labor demand, and assess return on investment of degree programs. The initiative began with a legislative act in 2023, implementation in 2024, and a strong emphasis on educating the business community and ensuring data confidentiality.
The Lifesaving Potential of Prehospital Blood | OAS Episode 261
Q: What is the state legislative role in prehospital blood programs, and what policy options do lawmakers have?
The episode outlines three main areas—scope of practice, blood supply, and funding. Legislatures can clarify authority to allow paramedics to initiate or store blood, convene and coordinate blood supply across hospitals and trauma centers, and provide funding via appropriations, grants, or trauma system funds to start or expand programs.
The Evolution of Alzheimer’s Diagnosis and Treatment | OAS Episode 260
Q: What steps should legislatures take to balance access to care with budget constraints?
Focus on reinforcing primary care, expanding home- and community-based services, investing in workforce training, reducing barriers like step therapy, and planning for long-term cost savings through early intervention and biomarker-based diagnostics.
The Evolution of Alzheimer’s Diagnosis and Treatment | OAS Episode 260
Q: What do you think are the primary drivers behind the surge in Alzheimer's and dementia legislation across states?
Factors include the aging population, rising economic costs, recognition of the burden on families and Medicaid, and new diagnostic and treatment options that create opportunities for policy to enable earlier detection and access to care.
The Legislature’s Oversight Role | OAS Episode 258
Q: What is legislative oversight and what are some of the components that make it up?
Legislative oversight ensures that the intent of the legislature is being carried out by the executive branch and that agencies comply with statutory requirements.
