Case 3. Medicare Reimbursement Reforms (Page 37 of 37)

Phase Two: Finding the Information

Q15. Identify strategies and resources to help you stay informed of developments and events related to Medicare reimbursement reforms.

Suggested Solution

Several of the databases you examined earlier will allow you to set up alerts on the searches you have run previously. Databases such as Sociological Abstracts and PAIS International provide you with the ability to set up alerts.

Journals will often send alerts when new tables of content come out. Be sure to add likely titles to your list of alerts.

Many of the key players will too. Review Module 3 for those key players who provide alerting services.

After answering this question, you have completed Case 3. Congratulations! Good work!

If you started with Case 3 because it was the most interesting to you, you might want to try the other cases:

• Case 1: Health Disparities Research Case
• Case 2: The End-Stage Renal Disease Program: Quality Issues
• Case 4: Bioterrorism -- Community Preparedness
• Case 5: HIV/AIDS, the AIDS Drug Assistance Program
