Medicaid's Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) waiver program gives states an opportunity to leverage Medicaid's purchasing power to improve the way care is paid for and delivered to beneficiaries. New York State’s five-year, $8 billion DSRIP initiative—the nation’s largest and most ambitious in scope—is the subject of a new Commonwealth Fund report by Manatt Health.
Focusing on emerging issues in governance, data-sharing and analytics, social determinants of health, and value-based payments, Deborah Bachrach and colleagues take a close look at the New York program and how it aims to achieve its goal of reducing avoidable hospital use by 25 percent.
