Design a new reimbursement system that will result in greater equity for providers.

Response:
Bailit performed an assessment of the methods used by the agency's 22 area offices and its 6 regional offices to purchase services and to monitor and manage provider performance. Bailit gathered data and conducted statistical analysis to identify the variables with the greatest impact on rates, and then collaborated with work groups of agency and provider staff to design a new reimbursement system.

Introduce value-based purchasing concepts into the state's HMO contracts and contract management process.

Bailit will also develop contract monitoring tools and recommend policies and procedures for monitoring value-based managed care contracts
