CMS Seeks "Innovation Advisors" for Fellowship Program
CMS is launching a new Innovation Advisors program, which will provide fellowships to up to 200 individuals to test new models of care delivery in their own organizations and communities. CMS is seeking experts in health care economics and finance, population health, systems analysis, and operations research to support the Innovation Center in testing new models of care delivery that support the three-part aim of improving health, improving care, and lowering costs through continuous improvement. Innovation advisors will be expected to commit up to 10 hours per week to the Innovation Advisor Program during the initial six months of their fellowships, with part of that time devoted to the seminars and instruction and the rest devoted to implementing the improvement project proposed in their application.
