Costs of care for hospitalized children associated with preferred language and insurance type.
The study sought to determine whether preferred language for care and insurance type are associated with cost among hospitalized children. It concluded that hospital costs varied significantly according to preferred language and insurance type, even adjusting for length of stay and medical complexity. These differences in the amount of billable care provided to medically similar patients may represent either underprovision or overprovision of care.

Contributions of relational coordination to care management in accountable care organizations: views of managerial and clinical leaders.
The researchers identified the extent to which accountable care organization (ACO) leaders are aware of the dimensions of relational coordination and the ways these leaders believe the dimensions influenced care management practices in their organization. They found that ACO leaders mentioned four relational coordination dimensions: shared goals, frequency of communication, timeliness of communication, and problem solving communication. Their analysis identified ways leaders believed the four dimensions contributed to the development of care management, including contributions to standardization of care, patient engagement, coordination of care, and care planning.
