Medicaid ACO Demonstration: Support for Implementation and Evaluation Planning

Medicaid patients often have a complex and expensive mix of medical and social service needs. This project is evaluating the extent to which Medicaid Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) improve healthcare quality and control healthcare spending for this vulnerable population. It is also documenting specific changes to care management processes developed by Medicaid ACOs and disseminating lessons learned to a wide range of policy stakeholders best positioned to translate findings into practice.
