The National Academy of Medicine (NAM), formerly the Institute of Medicine, announced [1] the election of 70 new regular members and 10 international members, including former HCFO grantee Vincent Mor, Brown University. NAM works to provide independent, objective analysis to the nation and inform public policy decisions in the fields of health, science, and medicine. NAM recognizes individuals who have demonstrated outstanding professional achievement and commitment to service and who will help to inform the future in one or more of these areas. Mor’s HCFO-funded study [2] examined the impact of state Medicaid policy changes on nursing home hospitalization.
