Forwarded to NAHDO Listserves from ResDAC, University of Minnesota about
a Medicaid data workshop.
================
I'm writing to let you know about an upcoming workshop that may be of
interest to you or your colleagues.

My colleagues and I at the Research Data Assistance Center (ResDAC) will
be holding a 3-day workshop entitled "Conducting Research with Medicaid
Claims Data" on October 18-20, 2000, at UCLA in Los Angeles.  This
participatory,
hands-on workshop will familiarize attendees with how to access and use
Medicaid administrative data for health services, health policy or
epidemiological research. Attendees will learn about and use actual
Medicaid data to answer representative research questions while drawing
upon their own research, analytic and/or clinical skills.

This will be the third time we offer "Conducting Research with Medicaid
Claims Data".  Previous attendees include researchers, analysts, and
practitioners from the University of North Carolina, University of
Washington, Brown University, Rutgers University, Research Triangle
Institute, Grady Health System, Oregon Medical Assistance Program, and
the Centers for Disease Control.  These attendees particularly praised
the workshop's hands-on data segments and explanation of the Medicaid
data request process.

ResDAC is a consortium of universities contracted by the Health Care
Financing Administration to assist researchers in accessing and working
with Medicaid & Medicare data. "Conducting Research with Medicaid Claims
Data" will be led by an experienced team of Medicaid researchers from
the Morehouse School of Medicine, University of Minnesota, and
Mathematica Policy Research.  The workshop will take place in a
state-of-the-art, multimedia classroom at UCLA's Pacific Southwest
Regional Medical Library.

For a more detailed description of this workshop or for registration
information, please visit our web site at
http://resdac.umn.edu/HCFA102m.htm.  Please e-mail me if you have
specific questions about the workshop content.

Feel free to forward this message to interested colleagues.  Thank you
for your consideration.
