Research Report
National health surveillance instruments are intended to monitor important health issues and health status of all populations in the United States. Several population subgroups have disparities in health conditions and health care. To effectively create programs and policies to address these issues requires accurate identification of key population subgroups.

Journal Article
This study aimed to examine whether hospitals are more likely to temporarily close their emergency departments (EDs) to ambulances (through ambulance diversions) if neighboring diverting hospitals are public vs. private.

Journal Article
Medicare’s Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) was intended to encourage hospitals to improve care for older adults. However, the program has raised health equity concerns because its risk-adjustment model does not account for patient social complexity.

Journal Article
High-cost patients are a frequent focus of improvement projects based on primary care and other settings. Efforts to characterize high-cost, high-need patients are needed to inform care planning, but such efforts often rely on a priori assumptions, masking underlying complexities of a heterogenous population. In this study, authors define recognizable subgroups of patients among high-cost adults based on clinical conditions, and describe their survival and future spending.
