TRANSFORMING MEDICAID requires a bold shift in focus — from an emphasis on controlling costs in the short-term to a focus on investments in quality that will improve health outcomes and enhance the long-term viability of the nation’s health care safety net.
IT REQUIRES INNOVATIVE THINKERS willing to roll up their sleeves, forge new partnerships, design and test novel programs, relentlessly measure results, learn from mistakes, and press on.
IT REQUIRES LEADERS who truly believe that improving the quality of heath care services can both deliver better outcomes and lower costs, particularly for people with chronic health needs.
MEDICAID’S TRANSFORMATION IS UNDERWAY. And the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) is fortunate to be partnering with states, health care organizations, physicians, and consumer groups across the country that are committed to providing the best possible, most cost-effective care for the millions of Americans served by Medicaid and other publicly financed programs. Together we are creating opportunities to lead improvements in the national health care system.
