Using Health Data

In its first year, the Medicaid Data Learning Network (MDLN) facilitated expert presentations and collaboration among TAF experts and member research teams by hosting an in-person meeting at AcademyHealth's Annual Research Meeting (ARM) and eight virtual learning sessions. This publication presents a summary of the findings from the first year of the Medicaid Data Learning Network, including key takeaways for the research and policy communities from each learning session.

Through a range of activities, AcademyHealth seeks to advance data equity, support data learning networks, and expand data access. We are also announcing a new call for proposals from Health Data for Action, a signature research program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
