Summary

• Dr. Radomski is a practicing general internist and health services researcher who is focused on understanding and improving the value of healthcare in the United States. Specifically, he is interested in how the the receipt of care across healthcare systems influences healthcare utilization, quality, and outcomes.
  
  As a clinical research fellow, Dr. Radomski was the recipient of a National Research Service Award and conducted research on the dual use of VA and non-VA care. Applying latent class analysis to VA and Medicare claims data, he established a typology of 4 distinct groups that represent the most common ways that Veterans receive diabetes care within and outside VA. Between these groups, he discovered significant differences in sociodemographic characteristics, health service utilization, and health-related outcomes.
  
  Dr. Radomski's current research focus is two-fold: 1) He is studying how the receipt of care across healthcare systems influences the use of low value health services within integrated payor/delivery systems such as VA; and 2) He is developing a novel, medication-based risk adjustment measure to overcome current limitations in claims-based risk adjustment when comparing care received in VA and non-VA settings.
