A Multistate Meeting on Health System Transformation, 2015

In January 2014, the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, with Commonwealth Fund support, convened officials from 39 states and territories, along with federal agency personnel and policy experts, for a national meeting on health system transformation. The event, which was enthusiastically received, focused on issues faced by all governors’ offices: managing change, driving toward a higher-value health system, deploying health information technology, and developing workforce. This grant will support a second annual multistate meeting to expose state officials to innovations in health system transformation, foster information exchange, and build learning networks. By enabling peer-to-peer learning, the project will equip state officials to serve as catalysts for positive health system change. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation will provide cofunding.
