Health Delivery Performance

The Hopkins Business of Health Initiative hosted a panel on October 8, 2025, titled “Setting a New Agenda for Medicare’s Post-Acute Care Payment Policy” as part of the Future of Health Care Delivery Nexus Convening Series. The panel brought together leading researchers, David Grabowski, PhD (Harvard Medical School), R. Tamara Konetzka, PhD (University of Chicago), and Anne Deutsch, RN, PhD (RTI International/Northwestern University), and was moderated by Kathryn Linehan, MPH.
