An online workforce survey was conducted with all staff of 12 primary care sites of Cambridge Health Alliance at different stages of PCMH transformation. Biva…
Experiences applying for and understanding health insurance under Massachusetts health care reform
Under the Affordable Care Act, efforts to simplify the application process and reduce the complexity of plans may be warranted, particularly for vulnerable patient populations cared for by the medical safety net
Affordability of health care under publicly subsidized insurance after Massachusetts health care reform

We conducted face to face surveys in four languages with a convenienc…
