Health Care Reform

Introducing or altering complex public health care policy requires specialized knowledge of law and policy. Both disciplines are well-represented within Commonwealth Medicine.

With our staff’s focused health care reform expertise, we play an essential role during the development, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of reform initiatives. Whether a reform is designed to expand coverage, improve quality, or contain costs, our team applies extensive policy and legal knowledge throughout the process of making the reform a success.

Commonwealth Medicine has become a sought-after partner for public agencies and nonprofit health policy organizations seeking to reform health care at the state and federal levels.

• Planning and Policy Development
  We provide operations and strategy consulting for organizations that need to establish programs and policies to meet the requirements of health care reform law.
• Implementation
  Our team assembles the resources our clients need to implement and maintain health care programs and systems.
• Quality Management
  Evaluating programs and projects is essential to maintaining quality processes and outcomes — and fulfilling the requirements of state and federal health care reform. Our team works closely with our public agency and nonprofit clients to put quality measures in place. 
• Medicaid Clinical Program Management
  When we manage clinical programs for Medicaid programs, we focus on quality, cost-effectiveness, and the impact of health reform law. Our team reduces program spending — while maintaining positive patient outcomes.
• Health Insurance Exchange
  Privacy and security standards are our top priority as we create and implement new health care technology. Our team recently won a $35.6 million grant to develop an online health insurance exchange system that will be rolled out throughout New England.
• Patient-Centered Medical Home
  We provide clinical, organizational, and policy resources to implement the patient-centered medical home model in primary care practices. This concept emphasizes care coordination and improved access.
