Technical Assistance

SCI offers no cost, personalized assistance to help your state move forward with health coverage expansion efforts and broader health care reform.  From our interaction with so many state officials, we recognize that many state leaders can use assistance in sharpeningtheir policy making skills and bolstering their technical capacity. 

Though we are just as familiar as you are with the adage “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” we really are dedicated to providing you with the staff and/or financial support to:
  • Answer questions and provide information on an ongoing basis.
  • Bring state leaders together to exchange ideas and learn more about specific health care reform issues.
  • Consult with experts covering a broad range of relevant topics to help you on projects.
  • Organize meetings with state policymakers and health care leaders to brainstorm strategies and techniques for health care reform, highlight current trends and cutting-edge strategies.
  • Provide testimony for legislative hearings or presentations at state meetings.
  • Design and conduct policy retreats for state officials and other stakeholders.
  • Produce publications, including technical manuals and issue briefs.
Assistance may be offered directly by staff members or by the many outside consultants with whom we have strong relations. Technical assistance may be provided in person, by electronic media such as telephone, video, or e-mail.
 
Please note:  While we may not be able to help in all situations due to time or resource limitations, we will do our very best to meet your needs.
