A study led by a recent University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health graduate, revealed that a rise in home health care spending could become an issue for Medicare nationally and in Arkansas. Robert Schuldt, Ph.D., a spring 2022 graduate of the college’s Health Systems and Services Research program, led the study on Geographic Variation in Medicare Home Health Expenditures. Among Schuldt’s discoveries was how the growth in spending on the popular home health care program could potentially lead to changes in the service in Arkansas. Numerous outlets published the study, including the American Journal of Managed Care.
