Letter from the Editor

This issue of RAND Health Quarterly includes 13 articles on a variety of topics.

In health care delivery, quality, and patient safety, Lori Uscher-Pines and colleagues summarize data on the use of in-person, audio-only, and video health visits during September 2022 to August 2024, a period that included the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency in May 2023.

In health policy and health economics, Christopher M. Whaley and others used 2020–2022 medical claims data from a large population of privately insured individuals, including hospitals and other facilities from across the United States, to allow an easy comparison of hospital prices.
