About Author

Dr.Daniel Gilden is a health services researcher with 20 years of hard core quant experience.He's the President of JEN Associates which provides highly specialized analysis of Medicare and Medicaid data. He contacted THCB regarding the fuss about the McAllen, TX "overuse" story. In his calculations the data suggests something very different from the "practice variation" theory--the patients really are sicker. As this goes counter to decades worth of work by Wennberg et al, we invited Daniel to share his data and methodology with THCB. And we invite those of you who like this kind of research but may disagree with Daniel's analysis to respond. Finally it's worth noting that if his conclusions are true this has huge implications for overall health care policy.

He specialize in natural health care. He has extensive knowledge about natural Remedies, specially green tea. He can be reach for consultation at Healthgrades
