It has recently been revealed that up to 17 health systems in the US are set to partner in a new Medicaid Transformation Project.
Spanning 280 hospitals, and led by AVIA and former CMS Acting Administrator Andy Slavitt of Town Hall Ventures, the national effort will lead to the development of scalable, sustainable solutions to support those which are presently underrepresented within the healthcare market.
One in five (up to 75mn) US citizens presently rely on Medicaid to gain access to essential healthcare services. Through the project, the work will focus on areas such as behavioural health, women and children, substance use disorder, and will look at ways to reduce emergency wait times.
