Hilltop Presents at Center for Health Care Strategies Meeting

Anthony M. Tucker, Ph.D., Director of Special Projects at The Hilltop Institute, gave a presentation at the kick-off meeting for the Transforming Care for Dual Eligibles initiative on June 17, 2009. This initiative, sponsored by the Center for Health Care Strategies, Inc. and funded by The Commonwealth Fund, will test innovative care models in eight states for people who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. In the session, entitled Medicare and Medicaid Data Analysis/Integration, Dr. Tucker focused on the integration and analysis of Medicare and Medicaid data; discussed his development and use of The Hilltop Crossover Framework-a new tool for the analysis of integrated care for dual eligibles; and discussed preliminary findings of his Robert Wood Johnson funded HCFO study of cross-payer effects for dual eligibles.
