What’s Next for CMMI? Promise and Peril in the Latest Strategic Direction

Since its establishment, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) has worked to transform U.S. health care payment and delivery by testing models that shift away from paying for inefficient volume-based care toward an approach to Medicare and Medicaid payments that hold providers accountable for health care costs and improving the health of patients. Now, following the release of the latest CMMI strategic direction, advocates have important clarity on the Trump administration’s goals and visions for the program. The latest framework emphasizes updated approaches to model design and evaluation, greater financial risk, use of new technology and more all in support of:

• Promoting Evidence Based Prevention
• Empowering People to Achieve their Goals
• Driving Choice and Prevention
