CMS Innovation Center Listening Session: Incorporating Beneficiary Perspectives into Model Testing, Implementation, and Evaluation on February 9th
The fifth objective from CMS Innovation Center’s new strategy is to build a deeper relationship with stakeholders, especially beneficiaries and patient groups. Incorporating beneficiary and patient input and perspectives into the Innovation Center’s work is critical to attaining the vision of a health system that achieves equitable outcomes through high-quality, affordable, patient-centered care. See resources below for additional information on the CMS Innovation Center’s strategic direction.
You are invited to join a listening session featuring representatives from patient advocacy groups, as well as foundation and research experts, who will share insights on how the Center can incorporate beneficiary perspectives into model testing, implementation, and evaluation. Objectives for the session are:
To understand beneficiaries’ awareness of the Innovation Center, its priorities, and role in testing ways to improve care for people with Medicare and Medicaid;
To gain perspective on how we can successfully engage patients and beneficiaries to inform future model development, implementation, and evaluation; and
To begin to identify beneficiaries’ priorities and needs.
The insights from this session will help inform the Center’s beneficiary engagement strategy across its portfolio and over the life cycle of models.
The listening session is scheduled for Wednesday, February 9th at 2:00 – 3:00 PM ET.
