The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (or “Innovation Center”) has released a white paper outlining the Center’s strategic objectives for its second decade, with the goal of achieving equitable outcomes through high-quality, affordable, person-centered care. In reviewing lessons learned from the Center’s first decade, the Innovation Center recognized a need to embed equity in every model, including by launching more Medicaid-focused models. Going forward, the Innovation Center’s five strategic objectives are to:
- Drive accountable care
- Advance health equity
- Support care innovations
- Improve access by addressing affordability
- Partner to achieve system transformation
