Happy New Year, everyone. It’s hard to believe, but we are nearing the mid-point of our five-year term on the GI & Hepatology News (GIHN) board of editors. Our central goal over the past two-and-a-half years has been to curate thought-provoking content for GIHN that helps to inform clinical practice and keeps you up-to-date on emerging scientific innovations and policy changes impacting patients with digestive and liver diseases.

As we usher in 2024, we want to hear from you—our readers—to ensure we are appropriately tailoring our coverage to your needs. Your feedback is critical to ensuring the continued success of the newspaper as your go-to source for cutting edge news relevant to our field.

Dr. Megan A. Adams

To start, we welcome your thoughts on the following questions:

  • What do you want to see more of in the newspaper (e.g., a particular column, topic)?
  • How can we continue to serve you best as a reader? 

Please email your feedback to us at [email protected]. Your input is greatly appreciated by both the board and our larger editorial team and will help inform future coverage.

In this month’s issue of GIHN, we update you on the proceedings of AGA’s 2023 Innovation Conference, highlight a new Clinical Practice Guideline focused on the role of biomarkers in Crohn’s disease management, and summarize key AGA journal content.

The AGA Government Affairs Committee also details 2024 updates to Medicare payment rules, including a new add-on code for complex care, increased facility payment for POEM procedures, and continuation of expanded telehealth coverage through the end of 2024.

GIHN associate editor Dr. Avi Ketwaroo introduces this month’s Perspectives column focused on the impact of substance use (specifically alcohol and marijuana) on liver transplant candidacy.

In our January Member Spotlight, we feature Dr. Sonali Paul, a hepatologist and co-founder of Rainbows in Gastro. She shares her passion for promoting health equity in sexual and gender minority populations.

We hope you enjoy this, and all the exciting content included in our January issue.
