Statewide Integrated Health Improvement Strategy
Main_Content
In 2019, the State of Maryland collaborated with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) to establish the domains of health care quality and delivery that the State could impact under the Total Cost of Care (TCOC) Model. The collaboration also included an agreed-upon process and timeline by which the State would submit proposed goals, measures, milestones, and targets to CMMI. As a result of the collaboration with CMMI, the State entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that required Maryland to provide a proposal for the Statewide Integrated Health Improvement Strategy (SIHIS) to CMMI by December 31, 2020. The SIHIS aligns statewide efforts across three domains that are interrelated and, if addressed successfully, have the potential to make significant improvement in not just Maryland’s healthcare system, but in the health outcomes of Marylanders.
