The Role of NY's Health Benefit Exchange
A new report from the United Hospital Fund carefully examines the roles New York’s health benefit exchange should play, ranging from a passive marketplace, with the free market alone determining the quantity and scope of offerings, to an active purchaser, with the exchange using its leverage to achieve one or more systemwide goals.
Quality Measurement for Patients with Complex Needs
A new report from the Fund's Medicaid Institute focuses on measuring quality of care for Medicaid beneficiaries with complex needs, including those with multiple chronic conditions, behavioral health conditions, and long-term care needs.The report notes the importance of quality measurement as a tool to advance the state’s goals of reimbursement reform and service delivery redesign.
Patient-Centered Medical Homes
A new Fund report examines New York’s rapid adoption of the Patient-Centered Medical Home model, and considers what would be required for the model to spread even further. The model holds significant promise as a way to address some major problems in the delivery of primary care, by improving access, quality, coordination of care, and the patient experience.

Merging Markets and Exchanges
A new Fund report focuses on two decisions for New York involving mergers: first, combining individual and small business health benefit exchanges, and second, merging the individual and Small Group markets.
State- and Citywide Differences in Insurance Coverage
The new edition of the Fund's annual chartbook series features, for the first time, differences in insurance coverage and uninsurance around New York State and within New York City. Data are broken down into 14 separate regions across New York State, including the five boroughs of New York City; within the city itself, estimates are provided for 55 separate neighborhoods.
Washington Heights/Inwood Selected for Diabetes Initiative
Washington Heights/Inwood is the first of two communities selected by the Fund for the development and testing of a community-wide diabetes control program targeting seniors—an initiative made possible by a $2.8 million, three-year grant from the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation. This community was selected based on several factors, including the high prevalence of seniors with diabetes.
