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 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.
