Dr. Ketsche recently received her Ph.D. in Risk Management and Insurance
from the J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University
and joined the faculty of the Institute of Health Administration
as assistant professor. Her dissertation studied the effect of the
tax subsidization of employment-based health insurance on risk pooling
in that market.
Professor Ketsche has done extensive research work for various public
and private organizations using the Census Bureau's Current Population
Survey data and the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data to evaluate
the existing distribution of health insurance in the population
and the effect of policy proposals on that coverage. She has also
participated in projects relating to cost containment for Medicaid
and assistance for rural health care providers by analyzing claims
data and utilization patterns of various populations. She participated
in early evaluation of health care quality and cost containment
under Georgia Better Health Care for the Department of Medical Assistance,
State of Georgia. Dr. Ketsche coordinated data collection and production
of the national Institute of Health care Management's Health Care
System DataSource, published in November 1998.
Prior to commencing her doctoral studies, Ms. Ketsche worked for
several years as an internal and external consultant for employee
benefits, assisting firms in evaluating and implementing managed
care plans and communicating those changes to their employees. She
developed and taught a pilot course on managed care for health administration
students at Georgia State University. Ms. Ketsche worked as a physical
therapist in a variety of health care settings for over 10 years.
