Building on his presentation at #ARM22, @stankalatamd on global budgets and rural surgery.
“The CMS CHART Model has the potential to improve surgical care within rural hospitals but comes with possible unintended conse- quences that need to be managed.”

SNF vertical integration in a hospital network was linked with higher SNF utilization and lower 30-day readmissions, without evidence of higher overall episode payments, compared to networks without vertical integration of SNFs. https://t.co/7n20nqaqp7 @stankalatamd
@stankalatamd presenting his outstanding work on variation in SNF quality for surgical patients. Publicly available ranking systems are not informative. Great presentation!
We’ve always talked about price variation by site of care … the Hospital Price Transparency Rule now helps us elucidate the variability across insurers. @stankalatamd@UMichSurgery#ACSCC22
The final day of #ARM22 kicks off with a podium presentation by @stankalatamd on his team's evaluation of the effect of Maryland’s global budget policy on patient level outcomes for #Medicare beneficiaries undergoing common and serious surgical procedures: https://t.co/uyoZqYneVC
@stankalatamd, my incredible co-resident, with a thoughtful presentation about global budgets in Maryland on surgical quality for Medicare beneficiaries. Findings included that surgical outcomes were not worse and index hospitalization and readmission payments were lower #ARM2022
Thanks for letting me crash the reception last night, @UM_IHPI.
@stankalatamd and I discussed Generalized Synthetic Controls over beer and wine - what more could I have asked for? #ARM2022
Stan Kalata, first year @UMichCHOPFellow, eloquently presenting his work examining whether hospital networks that own SNFs send more of their surgical patients to SNFs. Higher rates of SNF use, but lower readmissions. Well done! @UMichSurgery
