Dear John,
Health Affairs is planning a second theme issue on racism and health, to be published in October 2023. In connection with this issue, we have opened a Request for Abstracts; abstracts are due on
December 19, 2022.
Integrating Medicare And Medicaid Data
A new health policy brief released today examines how Medicare and Medicaid data can be integrated to improve care quality and equity among dual-eligible beneficiaries.
Authors Brittany Brown-Podgorski and Eric Roberts review existing data resources to study the dual-eligible population and provide guidance around how infrastructure could play a role in informing equity-focused care.
Some key findings found in the report include:
Multiple administrative, survey, and assessment data sources exist to measure health care use, expenditures, and outcomes among dual-eligible people.
However, each data source has shortcomings that limit comprehensive analyses of care quality and health care equity among dual eligibles.
The authors recommend several improvements to support more robust measurement of care quality and monitoring of health care equity for dual eligibles.
Please take a few minutes to let us know how we're doing by taking this brief survey about our newsletters.
