Total Cost of Care Workgroup Information

The success of the Total Cost of Care Model and the Care Redesign programs will be measured, in part, by reductions in potentially avoidable utilization, readmissions, and ultimately reduced costs due to higher quality healthcare and improvements in patient health. Understanding and managing the drivers of total cost of care and establishing sound approaches to incenting and measuring care transformation activities across the State is essential to ensuring overall success.​

The charge of the TCOC workgroup is to provide technical feedback to HSCRC on the methodologies and calculations that underpin care transformation and total cost of care management activities.

Total Cost of Care Workgroup Membership

The Health Services Cost Review Commission (HSCRC) has appointed a diverse group of individuals to serve on the Total Cost of Care Workgroup. The list of workgroup members is available at the following link:
