We were quite pleased recently to pick up the latest copy of Inquiry, the national Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association's respected journal of "Health Care Organization, Provision, and Financing," and find a familiar co-author. And no, it was not one of our faculty members; it was Misha Segal. Michael Segal, known to all as Misha, was one of the authors of "A Moving Target: Financing Medicare for the Future," written with well known economist Marilyn Moon, Ph.D., and Randall Weiss, Ph.D., Prior to his coming to Kellogg (he's a second year student), Misha worked at the Urban Institute in Washington, DC, as a Research Associate, where Moon is a Senior Fellow. Weiss is a Partner with Deloitte and Touche.

Indeed Misha has published as a co-author five research papers on Medicare. An economics graduate of Haverford College in 1997, Segal worked for the Urban Institute for three years before attending Kellogg.

Word also has come down to us that Sanjeev Suri, M.D., MBA '00 will have his article entitled "Using Medical and Information Technology for Improving Quality of Care" published in the January, 2002 issue of the Journal of Ambulatory Care Management. Upon graduation from Kellogg Suri took a position with the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, in their department of General Internal Medicine.

We invite alums or students who have published papers to send the references to us with a short topic explanation.
