Health Information Solutions supports statistical analyses for research.

• For the past 10 years we have worked with the California Office of Statewide Planning and Development on the annual California Report on Coronary Bypass Graft Surgery. For more information on these reports or for requesting a copy of past reports, please go to California CABG Reports
• In collaboration with Rand, Santa Monica, we assessed the effect of survey mode and other factors on surveys designed to measure patient satisfaction with their medical groups.
• In collaboration with the Pacific Business Group on Health (PBGH), we studied the effects of early (within 48 hours) and very early discharge (within 24 hours) on infant re-admissions during the first 28 days of life. In an effort to assess aspects of the quality of care provided by hospitals in California, we produced risk-adjusted re-hospitalization rates for each hospital in California. PBGH has made the results of this work publicly available.
• We have been or are involved in several research efforts with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Department of Emergency Medicine and Department of General Medicine at the University of California at Davis.
• We were involved in a marketing research study for the California AIM (Access to Infants and Mothers) program, a program that provides health insurance for uninsured pregnant women and their children that meet certain requirements. Using GIS techniques, we are able to identify those local areas in California with the largest proportion of uninsured women with inadequate levels of prenatal care and less than optimal birth outcomes,e.g., high re-hospitalization rates or percentages of low birth weight babies.
