Maternal Health Hub Phase 2: Supporting Health-Equity Focused Alternative Payment Models for Maternity

In the second phase of this project, the Health Care Transformation Task Force (HCTTF) will leverage its relationships with senior leaders from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services, and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to communicate the Maternal Health Hub’s (MHH) learnings and resources, with the aim of using payment levers to drive community-based models of care to address deficiencies in health equity and overall outcomes for birthing people and newborns. To accomplish this, the project will undertake three major tasks: 1) Conduct regular literature reviews, coordinate with external stakeholder groups, and conduct key informant interviews to stay up to date on evidence, resources, and policy activity; 2) develop content and organize resources for the MHH; and 3) leverage the developed content in facilitating shared learning opportunities for the Learning Community and expanding the community’s network to include Medicaid agency representatives.
