Bio

Kristin Madison conducts research in the areas of health law, health policy, and the delivery of health care services. [More]
Kristin Madison conducts research in the areas of health law, health policy, and the delivery of health care services. As an economist, she has analyzed empirically the ways in which affiliations among health care providers impact treatments, treatment costs, and health outcomes of patients. More recently, she has studied how the development of health information technologies has changed interactions among patients, physicians, managed care organizations, and regulators. For example, her articles have explored the liability of managed care organizations for information provision and the impact of the health information revolution on health care quality regulation. She is currently working on an empirical project tracing the diffusion of health care quality reporting regulations across the United States. [Hide]
