The Institute for Medicaid Innovation is actively engaged in research and quality improvement initiatives that partner with key stakeholders including clinicians, researchers, community advocates, state and federal government, and Medicaid managed care organizations.
To help guide the types of projects that the Institute leads, we have identified the following project priorities:
- Improve access to quality, equitable care that positively impacts health outcomes;
- Promote person-centered, family, and community integrated care;
- Address social determinants of health to increase access and engagement;
- Reduce disparities in access and quality of care;
- Increase the utilization of value-based care;
- Accelerate dissemination of innovative initiatives and evidence-based practices;
- Inform policy decisions at the local, state, and federal level;
- Facilitate collaboration and partnerships;
- Identify areas for improvement and develop innovative solutions.
