Media Outlet: Part B News

Deadline: 8:00 AM EST - 4 August

Query:

In March CMS started giving health care providers Accelerated
and Advance Payments (AAP) to address the COVID-19 emergency.

It suspended the program a month later after paying out $100
billion in advance payments.

Now many of these payments are due to be recouped via the
Medicare/Medicaid payment process. Funds are to be withheld
until recoupment is achieved.

Have you had payments recouped, or been told by CMS that they
would be recouped?

Any information appreciated.

Name: Mara Santilli Women's Health

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b3j8@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Women's Health

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 3 August

Query:

I'm working on editing a piece about conditions that cause
severe cramps and was hoping that an expert who has researched
certain women's health conditions as they affect BIPOC
individuals could weigh in. See questions below.

1. Are Black and Latinx people disproportionately diagnosed with
PCOS, or are their symptoms just more severe because of the
prevalence of other comorbidities in those communities? Would it
potentially present differently for women of color?

2. What about endometriosis? I've read some research stating
that it tends to be more prevalent in white females, and even
more so in Asian females, than in Black and Latinx people.
However, I've also read that Black women, for example, are often
misdiagnosed. Could you confirm why it's so hard to diagnose,
and why many women are often falsely told it's in their head, or
just "bad cramps", etc. (and in the case of Black women, medical
racism might be at play)?

3. Thyroid conditions can also be potential causes of cramps. Is
there a higher association of thyroid conditions (like
hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism) in Black and brown females, and
if so, why? Is this another condition that's likely to be
ignored or misdiagnosed?

Requirements:

Must be an MD; board-certified OB/GYN.

Name: Sheryl Nance Nash BBC.com

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b3i3@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: BBC.com

Deadline: 11:00 PM EST - 4 August

Query:

Companies in many nations are placing renewed focus on
diversity issues since the death of George Floyd and subsequent
upsurge in the BLM movement. But many firms/institutions are
leaning disproportionately on employees who are people of colour
to suggest possible initiatives/join committees/help formulate
more constructive responses. This is placing undue burden on
these employees - often they aren't paid extra and participation
can take a toll, both in terms of emotional health and dealing
with workload. I want to hear from corporate diversity experts,
academics, and companies from around the globe. Why are
companies/organizations turning to POC employees, what's driving
this, companies don't know where else to turn, or what exactly,
what's the thinking? - What's the impact on the staff member?
Should they engage or not? If people want to engage, how can
they do so in a way that works for them and doesn't become a
burden? - What should companies be doing differently and what
are some best practices? Any companies/organizations that have
made progress in this area this summer, what to hear your story,
what you've done so far? Want to hear from companies/experts
from around the world.

Name: Emily VanSchmus Better Homes and Gardens

Category: General

Email: query-b3ik@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Better Homes and Gardens

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 4 August

Query:

We're working on a piece titled Yes, It's Fine to Ask Your
Family Members to Quarantine Before Thanksgiving Dinner. We
don't anticipate the pandemic being over by the holidays, and
since there are so many conflicting views on what the necessary
safety precautions are, there will undoubtedly be conflicts
between family members. If you're hosting Thanksgiving dinner
and having people come into your home, it's okay to ask them to
stay home, wear masks, quarantine the week before, etc. We are
focusing on how to have that conversation with your family
members who may not agree with your request.

Questions below:

Once you've decided what you're comfortable with, what's the
best way to make the request? Send out a group text? Call each
person individually?

How should you communicate with a family member who doesn't
think the precautions are necessary and voices that opinion to
you (or doesn't think the virus is real, etc.)?

What if someone is unwilling to do what you've asked? Is it okay
to say they can't come if they're not willing to take the safety
precautions you've laid out, or should you compromise?

Requirements:

Looking for a professional etiquette expert or a family
therapist to weigh in on how to have these conversations with
your family.

Deadline: 4:00 PM EST - 4 August

Query:

President Trump has announced that he wants to ban TikTok in the
U.S. (although there are now reports he has delayed the decision
for 45 days while Microsoft tries to acquire its U.S. business).

My questions:

-- What are the security concerns with the Chinese company?
Doesn't the TikTok app collect similar personal information to
many other apps?

-- Does Trump have other reasons for wanting to ban TikTok? The
supposed hacking of Trump's Oklahoma rally by users, for example?

-- Are there any negative effects of banning apps from certain
countries? What are the positive effects?

Media Outlet: IoT Agenda

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 7 August

Query:

I am working on an assigned article for IoT Agenda (TechTarget),
due Aug. 7, looking at where organizations are best off in terms
spending their money and time in IoT during challenging and
uncertain economic times. For example: * Are there IoT
infrastructure investments that would be good to make now and
would payoff whether the company needs to suddenly expand its
consumer facing retail IoT or deploy more IoT to squeeze cost of
a warehouse/fulfillment operation? * Similarly, are there areas
where it makes sense to slow or stop investments given global
conditions? I am interested in input from IoT practitioners,
analysts, and consultants, in particular. In general, I am not
looking to source IoT vendors but would welcome background
information. I can work via email or phone.

Email: query-b3ie@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Freelance Journalist

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 11 August

Query:

I am working on a special report for HOSPITALITY TECHNOLOGY
magazine with this premise: As restaurants seek the agility to
maximize both off-premise and dine-in models, the need for
flexible platforms is top of mind. I am looking for answers to
the following questions: 1) As specifically as possible, what
are the changing expectations of customers with regard to
off-premise dining (takeout and delivery) as well as on-premise
dining? What changes in back-office technology are we seeing as
a result of these changing expectations, and what other factors
are driving the evolution of back-office technology? Examples
might include the need to revise dining protocols based on the
expectation for of enhanced safety, easy-to-use pickup delivery
options, integrated apps, chatbots. 2-What are the specific
developments we are seeing in terms of technology itself--for
instance, in inventory management, accounting/bookkeeping,
employee time-and-attendance, employee training apps/platforms
and anything else? This can include general product information
and information about vendors' offerings. 3-What future
developments can we expect in terms of back-office tech for
restaurants, and what will drive that?

Requirements:

I am looking for input from restaurant technology vendors, as
well as for commentary from analysts, consultants, or other
experts. I am also looking to speak with restaurant operators
themselves about their experience with this type of
technology--why they are implementing it and any results they
have achieved/expect to achieve. The report will be posted on
HT's website in late August. I am looking to have all of this
information by the end of the day Eastern time on Tuesday,
August 11. I prefer emailed responses, but can conduct
interviews if needed.
