Robert Burke and Rachel M. Werner analyzed data from 27 million Medicare beneficiaries and found that regardless of Medicare type, patients used more skilled nursing facilities than home health care after hospital discharge.
Kathryn Bowles, Scott Halpern, and Eugenia South were named new members of the National Academy of Medicine, joining 30 other LDI Senior Fellows who are members.
Research by Paula Chatterjee and Eric T. Roberts showed that many Medicare beneficiaries with low-to-modest incomes would face financial hardship from just one hospital stay.
Meghan Lane-Fall, Jaya Aysola, and Jennifer Myers received a $3.8 million grant to establish a national coordinating center for the new network of Learning Health System Embedded Scientist Training and Research Centers (LHS E-STaR).
The LDI-Penn Medicine Research Lab solicits proposals for projects focused on improving the efficiency and experience of care delivered at Penn Medicine with a specific focus on the use of technology, including automation, the electronic health record, and artificial intelligence.
The LDI Small Grants Program requests proposals for one-year pilot research grants investigating issues in health care delivery, health policy, and population health. Funding is from January-December 2025. The application deadline for both opportunities is Monday, November 11.
