Issue In Focus

Mathematica Staff in Spotlight at Annual AcademyHealth Conference

Mathematica’s health experts will be presenting nearly three dozen papers and posters at AcademyHealth’s Annual Research Meeting in Chicago from June 28 to 30. Topics include health reform, Medicare financing, Medicaid reform, health IT, state health, health data, quality of care, racial and ethnic disparities in health care, prescription drug use and financing, and issues related to the military health care system. Catherine McLaughlin, Mathematica senior fellow and director of the firm’s Ann Arbor office, serves as conference chair and is also chairing a session on Health Reform in the New Administration. Panelists will address lessons learned from previous federal reform efforts and current state reforms, White House and congressional politics, the role of stakeholders, and what proposals we are likely to see.
