Measure Definition
This is the number of media contacts received by Public Affairs and Education each month. There is no target or baseline for these inquiries. They happen when they happen, sometimes driven by events of the day, and sometimes driven by us.
Story Behind the Curve
February 2024 saw a large jump in inquiries due to the Change Healthcare pharmacy disruption to Medicaid
August and September 2023 saw an increase due to the Ruby Franke arrest and the launch of the Social Harms campaign
We saw a jump in inquiries in October 2024 due to media interest in the Gavin Peterson CAPTA statement.
