Program to Boost Consumer Influence In Health System Innovation
The Center for Consumer in Engagement in Health Innovation at Community Catalyst has announced the launch of a new subgrant program.
The Consumer Voices for Innovation project will fund consumer health advocates in five states with the goal of raising consumer voices in favor of models of delivery system reform that are person-centered, consumer led and responsive to the needs of the community.
The subgrants to 5 states include two that are supported by The John A. Hartford Foundation:
- Pennsylvania Health Access Network (PHAN) who will be organizing consumers affected by the roll-out of managed long term services and supports in Pennsylvania’s Medicaid program, with a focus on mobilizing seniors; and
- Rhode Island Organizing Project (RIOP) who will be working to engage dual eligibles in the Rhode Island duals demonstration by advocating for more person-centered approaches, working to increase consumer engagement in the demonstration and for transportation for low-income consumers.
