Although more individuals are surviving IHCA, very little is known abou…
The Process of Team Building Among Content Experts and Methodologists
Background: Community-engaged research engages the community in a collaborative manner to improve the local setting and has been increasingly applied to health services research. These complex studies require collaboration and team building among clinical experts, methodologists, and community stakeholders, yet few examples of this process have been published. Aim: Through a study of community emergency medical services, our aim was to understand…
Informal Clinical Integration in Medicare Accountable Care Organizations and Mortality Following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
BACKGROUND: Accountable care organizations' (ACOs') focus on formal clinical integration to improve outcomes overlooks actual patterns of provider interactions around shared patients.

RESEARCH DESIGN: We analyzed national Medicare data (2008-2014), identifying beneficiaries who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Af…
Hospitalization Rates for Acute Myocardial Infarction Among Asian-American Subgroups

We sought to determine whether the racial/ethnic distribution of hospitalized patients shifted after implementation of a statewide initiative to standardize data collection practices. METHODS: We conducted a difference-in-differences analysis of the State Inpatient D…
