Research Highlights
Medicaid Health Plan Community Health Workers Have Positive Impact on Care

ZIP Codes Matter When It Comes to Severe COVID-19
Renuka Tipirneni, MD, MSc; Monita Karmakar, PhD, MS; and Hallie Prescott, MD, MSc find that people who lived in the most underprivileged ZIP codes were more likely to have severe symptoms; however, they were no more likely to die than those from more privileged areas, and no less likely to go back to their own homes instead of a nursing home.
Pandemic Disrupted Many Older Adults’ Health Care Plans
Jeffrey Kullgren, MD, MPH, MS finds nearly one in three people over 50 with a scheduled procedure, or primary care or dental visit in 2021, had a COVID-related delay.
