Bernstein will play a key role in carrying out HSC’s growing policy analysis agenda to provide timely and objective information to policy makers about important issues facing the nation’s health system.
“Jill’s policy expertise and diverse research background will be a real plus as HSC expands its capacity to produce high-quality, objective analyses of critical health policy issues,” said Elizabeth Docteur, M.S., HSC’s vice president and director of policy analysis.
Most recently, Bernstein served as an independent health policy consultant, with clients including Harvard Medical School, the National Academy of Public Administration and the National Academy of Social Insurance, AcademyHealth, and Mathematica Policy Research. She also served as the research director of the Citizens’ Health Care Working Group, where she directed the production of the congressionally mandated Health Report to the American People and analysis presented in the working group’s recommendations for comprehensive health reform, Health Care that Works for All Americans: Dialogue with the American People, submitted to the president in 2006.
Earlier in her career, she was a senior policy adviser at the AARP Public Policy Institute, director of health policy studies at the National Academy of Social Insurance and deputy division director at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
Bernstein’s research has focused on health care coverage, costs, quality and access to care. She has published in such peer-reviewed journals as Health Affairs, Medical Care Research and Review and the Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law. She also has served on the editorial board of Medical Care Research and Review and as a reviewer for Health Affairs, Medical Care and Health Services Research.
She earned her doctorate in sociology from Columbia University and a bachelor’s degree in sociology, magna cum laude, from Carleton College.
