To date, the project includes 24 health systems comprising 342 hospitals and more than $121 billion in combined annual revenue.
Launched in the summer of 2018, the Medicaid Transformation Project will be led by Avia, a network of health systems focused on digital innovation and transformation, and former CMS Acting Administrator Andy Slavitt. The project will focus on improvements across four facets: behavioral health, women and infant care, substance use disorder, and avoidable emergency department visits.
