Medicaid Health care Delivery Sample Clauses

Medicaid Health care Delivery. Pilots‌ The DHSS is taking steps to improve access to quality health care in Alaska. Alaska Medicaid provides health insurance coverage to approximately 18 percent of Alaska’s population. As in other states, Alaska’s Medicaid program is challenged to meet increasing costs and demands for services. The following strategies are designed to allow for systemic improvements in both access and service delivery:  Promoting technology for sustainable and effective health care delivery.  Supporting workforce development  Enhancing management of high-cost health needs  Improving quality and access of care for underserved populations  Promoting rural infrastructure development One of the Alaska Medicaid program’s key challenges is to develop new comprehensive Medicaid regulations that clarify coverage and payment rules for the program and provide for greater accountability for both the department and health care providers. The DHSS is currently in the process of developing new rate model pilots that will be piloted in late 2012. These models change the Medicaid delivery system from a service based model to one that will be tied to providers’ quality and performance measures and will require the tracking of recipients across the health care delivery system, including behavioral health. HCS expects providers will expand the use of electronic health records and depend upon tools such as Direct Secure Messaging and HIE to support recipient care coordination and improvements in health outcomes.
