Health economists and health services researchers are using new techniques and innovations to uncover
who is most likely to become ill. Dr. Anderson is a professor of economics and medicine at Johns Hopkins
University and has worked extensively on designing health care systems in the United States and abroad.
One of his interests is identifying the characteristics of people who are likely to be high cost and high
need in the health care system. His presentation will focus on the predictors of people likely to develop
a serious illness in the coming years that could affect their life expectancy.
