[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] Impact of Medicaid Policy on Cardiovascular Drug Use and Clinical Outcomes [Institution] BRIGHAM & WOMEN»S HOSPITAL [Amount] $0 [Summary] Policies to control the use of cardiovascular medications are commonly used in public and private programs despite a lack of comparative evidence on whether they achieve savings and how such savings might balance against changes in clinical events. Drawing on years of experience in studying Medicaid policy and using large patient-level Medicaid data sets, we will measure the comparative effectiveness of Medicaid policies on cardiovascular drug spending and assess whether reduced drug use is associated with adverse clinical outcomes, providing critical information for policy-makers and health system design decision makers.
