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.

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/files-…… @BrownHSPP @Brown_SPH
🚨Federal claims data are critical to efforts to improve spending, quality, and equity in our health care system.
In @JAMA_current, we wrote about how @CMSGov's data policy change may compromise these efforts — and recommended a better path forward.

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

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.

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!

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

Thank you @ACintheDC and @commonwealthfnd for seeing the value in this work and for your ongoing support!
It's been so great to support work that can help advance the field of #Medicaid research, especially in such an important area as #MaternalHealth ajph.aphapublications.org/do…
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

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.
