Massachusetts Ties $415M to Health Equity 🏥 Massachusetts has introduced a groundbreaking $415M Medicaid waiver, linking hospital reimbursements directly to health equity measures. This approach is about the actual performance and outcomes of health equity measures. In our recent webinar, we’re joined by Christina L. Cordero, PhD, MPH, Sr. Program Director at Joint Commission, Drew Stevens, counsel at Parker, Hudson, Rainer & Dobbs LLP, and Carla Fogaren, National Consultant on Equity and Language Access in Healthcare, to walk through the importance of this waiver that parallels provisions in Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA): by tying financial incentives to health equity measures, hospitals are accountable for their actions and incentivized to actively work towards reducing disparities in care. 🎬 Watch our webinar to learn more about how this can impact your organization and strategies to succeed under this new framework: https://bit.ly/3SmAy8M #AMNHealthcare #HealthEquity #MedicaidWaiver #HealthcareWebinar
