Feds award $110 million for innovative care models


 

The states can apply for either a Model Test award to assist in implementation or a Model Design award to develop or enhance a comprehensive State Health Care Innovation Plan. Up to 12 states will be chosen for Model Test awards, and up to 15 will be chosen for Model Design awards.

HHS said that current examples of state-led health innovations include development of advanced primary care networks supported by statewide health information technology systems, and models that coordinate care seamlessly across providers.
