Published: April 24, 2019, 1:02 p.m.

In this week\u2019s episode of On the Evidence, we discuss a major question surrounding health care reform: What do we do about the small share of patients who represent a much larger share of overall health care use and costs? For this conversation, I brought in three guests from Mathematica\u2019s deep bench of health care experts\u2014Purvi Sevak, Ann O\u2019Malley, and Dana Jean-Baptiste, who have each studied high-need, high-use patients and efforts to improve their care.\n\nWe also have a condensed Q&A version of the conversation available here: https://www.mathematica-mpr.com/commentary/podcast-on-patients-with-high-costs-and-high-needs
