Initiatives

Medicare aims to drive rapid, large-scale change that puts patients first and contributes to better patient care, better population health, and lower costs through improvement. This federal agency contracts with organizations across the country who can partner locally with patients, providers, practitioners and others to accomplish this work that aligns with the goals of the CMS Quality Strategy to:

• eliminate disparities
• strengthen infrastructure and data systems
• enable local innovation
• foster learning organizations
