The mission of the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute® is to establish foundational evidence for health policy and radiology practice that promotes the effective and efficient use of health care resources and improves patient care.
The latest Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study found that neurointerventionalists, who often deliver lifesaving and disability-sparing treatments for emergency stroke cases, have essentially no financially viable access to payment recovery through the No Surprises Act for professional mechanical thrombectomy out-of-network claims. MT is an effective treatment for emergent large vessel occlusions, such as ischemic stroke. Read More
A new Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study found that living in a neighborhood with higher vulnerability to environmental heat predicted worse stroke severity. Investigators from HPI’s PRIME research center at Northwell Health, the largest health system in New York state, evaluated all acute ischemic stroke admissions to Northwell’s comprehensive stroke center over a decade.

Given new breast density guidelines, now approximately one in two women are recommended to have supplemental breast cancer screening by breast MR or ultrasound due to their relatively higher breast cancer risk. Our latest research, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, measured distance to the nearest facility offering mammography, breast MR and/or breast ultrasound for 29,629 ZIP codes.

The dynamics of a workforce shortage, volume growth, NPPS and paused implementation of clinical decisions support via PAMA legislation are threatening patient access. In this issue of Research Rounds, our Executive Director, Elizabeth Rula, PhD, covers the evidence unfolding from our work from the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute® (HPI), where we are studying the Read More
A new study by researchers from Mayo Clinic & the Neiman Institute demonstrates the impact on reimbursement of a value-based payment model, the Radiation Oncology Case Rate. A bipartisan bill introduced to Congress this May includes ROCR to protect access, reduce disparities and improve outcomes in cancer treatment. Read More
