Research Interest & Projects
Dr. Rosen's current work focuses on how best to measure and improve the value of U.S. health care spending, with a particular focus on the feasibility and effectiveness of linking medical coverage to value. Much of her research relates to the care of people with chronic illnesses, particularly diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and how to increase the use of effective but underutilized therapies.
Select current research includes:
1.Evaluation of prospective interventions of targeted value-based copayment reductions for highly cost-effective but underutilized therapies (e.g. medications, eye exams) in large employers' covered populations with chronic diseases.
2. Development of a revised set of national health accounts (adding a measure of population health alongside spending) to better understand the returns to U.S. health care spending.
