This round features some important distinctions from last
year's Innovation Challenge, specifically seeking applications in the following
categories:
- Models
to rapidly reduce Medicare, Medicaid and/or CHIP spending in outpatient
and post-acute settings, particularly diagnostic services, outpatient
radiology, high-cost physician-administered drugs, home based services,
therapeutic services and post-acute services.
- Models
that improve care for populations with specialized needs. Priority areas
include high-cost pediatric populations, children in foster care,
adolescents in crisis, and persons with Alzheimer's disease, HIV/AIDS,
serious behavioral health needs, or requiring long-term support and
services.
- Models
that transform the financial and clinical models for specific types of
providers and suppliers. Priority areas include models designed for
specific physician specialties (e.g., oncology or cardiology), and
pediatricians who provide services to children with complex medical
issues.
- Models
that improve the health of populations - defined geographically,
clinically, or by socioeconomic class - through activities focused on
prevention, wellness, and comprehensive care that extends beyond the
clinical service delivery setting and addresses the social determinants of
health. Priority areas include, but not limited to, models that develop
comprehensive population-based interventions, integrate clinical care with
community-based interventions that focus on the underlying determinants of
health, and integrate behavioral health care and primary care.
