Thanks @rm_werner @PennLDI for penning the concerns about CMS’s new data sharing policies.
These pieces complement the letter that was submitted to CMS and that you all continue to sign..

Limiting access to CMS data is not just an academic concern. It will affect anyone enrolled in Medicare/Medicaid as well as the taxpayers who fund these programs.
Read more in my @statnews piece below and please retweet to spread the word. We have work to do!

LDI Executive Director @rm_werner argues that the new @CMSGov rule changes will dramatically raise fees for access to the data which researchers use, making it far more difficult for young researchers & institutions to afford it. See more in @statnews: statnews.com/2024/02/20/cms…

Today, on behalf of over 375 academic researchers spanning over 75 institutions across the United States, @DrSujithRam and I submitted this letter to CMS in response to their new proposed policy of restricting access to physical CMS data.

Important news from CMS: Increasing transparency on nursing homes ownership. Shining a light on who owns NHs, how they do business, and how this affects residents is long overdue. Transparency is the cornerstone of ensuring high-quality NH care.

In the @nytimes! The U.S. has no coherent financing or insurance system for long-term care. So glad to be able to talk about this with @ReedAbelson. And to share this space with @nbcoe1 & her research on the toll of this crumbling system on caregivers
