The advisers come from 27 states and Washington, D.C. and compose a group that includes clinicians, allied health professionals and health administrators. They will participate in an orientation program and then work with the CMS Innovation Center to test new care models aimed at improving quality and lowering costs. They're also expected to create partnerships to develop new ideas and then share those ideas regionally and nationwide.
Representatives from Providence Health & Services, SSM Healthcare in Wisconsin, and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center were among those chosen.
