Medicaid Accountable Care Organizations and childbirth outcomes.
This study examined the impact of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) to childbirth outcomes. States that use Medicaid ACOs were compared with states that had not adopted ACO. Using HCUP data, the relationship between Medicaid ACO adoption and neonatal and maternal outcomes, and cost per birth was examined. Medicaid ACO implementation was associated with a moderate reduction in hospital costs per birth and decreased cesarean section rates with results varying by state. There was no association with other birth outcomes, including infant inpatient mortality, low birthweight, neonatal intensive care unit utilization and severe maternal morbidity.

Trends in 30-day readmission for Medicaid and privately insured pediatric patients: 2010-2017.
This study examined trends in 30-day readmission rates for Medicaid and privately insured pediatric patients from 2010 to 2017. The HCUP Nationwide Readmissions Database was used to compare hospital-level risk-adjusted readmission rates. Higher readmission rates were found for Medicaid beneficiaires compared to privately insured pediatric patients during the time period.
