Journalism CAN Lead to Changes in Policy: CMS and Data Sharing

Three years ago, and without notice, data about patients with substance use disorders began to disappear from Medicare and Medicaid files widely used in health services research.

Friends of the show Austin Frakt and Nicholas Bagley raised an alarm, and they began to look into it.

And things happened! What we do makes a difference. This is Healthcare Triage News.
