112 | Lessons for States Interested in Hospital Global Budgeting

On the Evidence

This episode of Mathematica’s On the Evidence podcast explores lessons from Maryland, with glimpses from Vermont and Pennsylvania, that could help other states decide whether and how to adopt hospital global budgeting. The guests for this episode are Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, who was the secretary of the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene when the state adopted hospital global budgeting; Thomas Mullen, who led a Baltimore-area hospital system when Maryland adopted the new payment model; and Dr. Sule Gerovich, a senior fellow at Mathematica who supported Vermont, Pennsylvania, and Maryland in developing hospital global budgets.
