> The Medicare & Medicaid Research Review (MMRR) is soliciting studies, policy analyses, and program evaluations that use rigorous, scientific research methods. We are interested in papers addressing changes in coverage, quality, access, the organization and delivery of health services, payment for health services, and innovative methods. (Do not presume from the title that the scope is narrowly defined to include only research directly involving the Medicare, Medicaid, or the Children’s Health Insurance Programs. It is not, though manuscripts should have results or conclusions that pertain at least indirectly to these programs.)
>
> Illustrative examples of topics include, but are not limited to:
>
> Development, use, and effects of quality-based and bundled-service payment models,
> Impact of changes in cost sharing and coverage on care utilization patterns and outcomes,
> Impact of Medicaid eligibility changes on the organization and delivery of care,
> Descriptive analyses of longitudinal utilization and cost patterns among Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP beneficiaries,
> Impact of changes within the private health care system on Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP,
> Analyses of the types of health research questions amenable to quick study and implementation, and those questions that are not.
> Submitted manuscripts must report the results of original scholarship. Manuscripts that are primarily editorial or opinion-based will not be considered. Manuscripts with results that directly support actionable recommendations will receive priority for publication. All manuscripts must be submitted by email to xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx following the guidelines available at http://www.CMS.gov/MMRR/Downloads/MMRR_Info_for_Authors_20101214.pdf.  Criteria for selection of manuscripts include [1] quality, rigor, and originality; [2] significance and usefulness for informing the future of Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP; and [3] clarity of writing and presentation. Peer Reviewer Guidelines are also available at http://www.CMS.gov/MMRR/downloads/MMRRPeerRevGuidelines.pdf.
