New in @Health_Affairs, we find that Massachusetts' #Medicaid ACO program was associated with increased care engagement and some quality improvements in the prenatal and postpartum periods. Perinatal health outcome measures were unchanged. healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hl…

Two years ago, John McConnell, @SarahHallGordon, and I collaborated with @AcademyHealth to form the Medicaid Data Learning Network (MDLN). Our goal: catalyze Medicaid research by collectively generating best practices for working with federal Medicaid claims. Apply to join us:

Viewpoint from @wschpero @djmeyers2 and @SarahHallGordon discusses the importance of researcher access to federal health care data following a CMS decision to limit the use of physical data and proposes solutions to maintain access and security. ja.ma/44vcq93

In @JAMA_current we discuss the challenges to understanding Mcare and Mcaid that will come from @CMSGov 's proposed changes to data access. There is still opportunity to give feedback on their proposal to hopefully prompt a change: cms.gov/data-research/…… @BrownHSPP @Brown_SPH

Today! I will be speaking about our recent study on postpartum Medicaid coverage and use of mental health treatment for postpartum mood and anxiety disorders: healthaffairs.org/doi/abs/10.137…

JUST RELEASED | The April 2024 theme issue on #PerinatalMentalHealth & Well-Being is now available. Read the introduction and explore the issue: bit.ly/3xqLpXG

@RSayko_Adams I couldn't love this more!

States were required to offer continuous coverage to Medicaid enrollees at the height of the pandemic. @sarahhallgordon + coauthors of @busph and @hhsgov find that the law led to a 12-month increase in postpartum Medicaid enrollment. Read the full study: loom.ly/ZFuV57c

Want to show love to Medicaid on Valentine's Day? Come through! It's a great chance to gain insight on how Medicaid can be more effective for more people.

I am in awe of my dear friend Anna Goldman for this innovative idea and the courage and persistence to see it through. Proud to be affiliated with @The_BMC! bostonglobe.com/2023/10/16/bus…

Out today in @JAMA_current with @meganbcole and @nhuberfeld1: Georgia’s first in the nation partial Medicaid expansion with work requirements is likely to have limited reach, provide unstable coverage, and have little effect on employment. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Has anyone applied for an admin supplement to a career development award to promote research continuity after life event (baby, adoption etc)? Looking for examples for how to structure this!

@mevanneman @UUtah @UofUHealth @UofUInternalMed Yay!!!!!! Congrats!!!!

Promoted to Associate Professor with tenure! Thank you to all the mentors, collaborators, students, friends & family who have made this journey rewarding, challenging, interesting & dare I say it--fun. There's a lot of work yet to be done. @UUtah @uofuhealth @UofUInternalMed

New at @commonwealthfnd: @SarahHallGordon, @kjohnmcconnell, and I outline 3 ways @CMSGov can better inform Medicaid policy through better data: * Address missing demographic info * Enhance data on managed care payments * Improve data accessibility commonwealthfund.org/blog/2023/info…

📢Medicaid researchers: Come hear from @SarahHallGordon, @kjohnmcconnell, Susan Kennedy (@AcademyHealth), + me on Year 1 of the Medicaid Data Learning Network. We'll summarize key insights on working w/ the latest Medicaid claims data. 1PM ET Wed: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Thank you @ACintheDC and @commonwealthfnd for seeing the value in this work and for your ongoing support!

Excited to share this commentary that summarizes our key takeaways from working with T-MSIS TAF to conduct maternal health research. Grateful to work with this fantastic team! @jamie_daw @lindsayadmon ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/epdf/10.21…

And thank you to @CNN for covering this important topic! cnn.com/2023/04/06/hea…

Our paper on state-level rates of severe maternal morbidity (SMM) among pregnant Medicaid enrollees is out now in @greenjrnl using T-MSIS TAF. We found nearly 3-fold variation in SMM rates across states.
