Transforming Medicaid-based Care with State-University Partnerships


AcademyHealth recently announced the launch of the State-University Partnership Learning Network to support evidence-based state health policy and practice with a focus on transforming Medicaid-based health care. To achieve the partnerships’ aims of improved care, health, and costs in the Medicaid program, the Learning Network will build a learning community to share and spread best practices and facilitate dialogue between state governmental entities and state university research centers. The network will also support state governments’ capacity to conduct high quality policy and data analysis, provide a mechanism for comparative studies across states, and explore and support the development of partnerships through monthly webinars, in-person meetings, and a members-only web forum.
