Commonwealth Fund–supported research appearing in peer-reviewed publications examines:
- the potential for shared-savings contracts to foster coordinated care for people eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid (New England Journal of Medicine, Jan. 2, 2013);
- ways to engage consumers in shaping nursing home reimbursement policy to improve residents' access to quality care and their quality of life (The Gerontologist, Nov. 2, 2012);
- reasons why up to 90 percent of children referred for early intervention services never receive them (Academic Pediatrics, Nov./Dec. 2012); and
- how best to design care coordination agreements, or written contracts that allocate responsibilities among all the providers coordinating care for a patient (American Journal of Managed Care, Nov. 2012).
- an evidence-based, transparent strategy for identifying "low-value" clinical services (Medical Journal of Australia, Nov. 19, 2012).
