11 Oct '21

<https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/pages/HMCA/index.html> Join us on October 12 at 2:00 pm EDT for a *free* webinar! The webinar is hosted by the Health and Medical Care Archive (HMCA) at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), a data repository funded by the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation (RWJF). Please join us in “*Examining the Health Reform Monitoring Survey and the Well-Being and Basic Needs Survey Presented by the Urban Institute*” featuring Stephan Zuckerman and Michael Karpman with the Urban Institute. Participants will get an overview of the Health Reform Monitoring Survey and the Well-Being and Basic Needs Survey, learn about key findings from the latest data, and discover ways these studies can be used in health research. Finally, participants will learn about the resources available on the RWJF and HMCA websites and have the opportunity to ask questions. Register for the Webinar <https://myumi.ch/YyEe2> *About the Principal Investigators: * Stephen Zuckerman is a senior fellow and vice president for health policy at the Urban Institute. He has studied health economics and health policy for 30 years and is a national expert on Medicare and Medicaid physician payment, including how payments affect enrollee access to care and the volume of services they receive. He is currently examining how payment and delivery system reforms can affect the availability of primary care services and studying the implementation and impact of the Affordable Care Act. Zuckerman has published extensively on many topics, including the determinants of geographic differences in Medicare spending, Medicaid managed care, state coverage expansions for adults, changes in Medicare benefit design that could protect the most vulnerable beneficiaries, hospital rate setting, and the impact of undocumented immigrants on the US health care system. Other issues he has worked on include Medicaid financing arrangements used by states, crowd-out of private coverage by SCHIP, the health care safety net, and survey approaches for measuring insurance coverage. Zuckerman also codirected the development of the Geographic Practice Cost Indices used in the Medicare physician fee schedule. Michael Karpman is a senior research associate in the Health Policy Center at the Urban Institute. His work focuses on the implications of the Affordable Care Act, including quantitative analysis related to health insurance coverage, access to and affordability of health care, use of health care services, and health status. This work includes efforts to help coordinate and analyze data from the Urban Institute’s Health Reform Monitoring Survey.
