We have been given a great opportunity - under the historic Affordable Care Act - to create the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation.
The ultimate goal of the Innovation Center is to explore new approaches to the way we pay for and deliver care to patients so that we have better results both in terms of the quality of care and the affordability of coverage. Congress has charged this new CMS Center with identifying, testing and ultimately spreading new ways of delivering care and new ways of paying for care.
