Research Projects

CHSRA has a significant research interest in the development of indicator/measurement systems which can target problem areas in need of improvement for long term care providers including nursing homes, home health agencies, intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded and assisted living facilities. In addition to indicator/measurement system development, CHSRA is also strongly committed to identifying, developing and testing techniques and methods for long term care and addiction treatment providers to improve care delivery to their residents/patients.

In addition to health care quality and health communications research, for which it is best known, CHSRA is also involved in analyses of health reimbursement and payment systems within both the public and private sectors. Staff expertise ranges from actuarial modeling of the financial aspects of these systems to research assessing beneficiary understanding of health care financing options. Researchers at CHRSA also conduct analyses of injury data to improve safety and injury-control decision making.
