The State Health Access Data Assistance Center (SHADAC) will host a webinar on multipayer quality measure alignment as a strategy for supporting health care payment and delivery system reform. The webinar will draw on lessons learned from the experiences of states that received State Innovation Model (SIM) Round 1 and Round 2 awards from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) to test models for catalyzing health care system transformation.
The interactive webinar will feature presentations from SHADAC, which provides technical assistance to SIM states as part of a team led by NORC at the University of Chicago; from the state of Washington, which undertook a multipayer quality measure alignment effort to support a shift to value-based payment as part of its SIM initiative; and from CMMI’s SIM evaluation team.
Presenters will include:
SHADAC
Senior Research Fellow Colin Planalp, MPA, who authored a paper on SIM states’ quality measure alignment efforts with support from CMMI.
Washington State Health Care Authority
Value-based Purchasing Manager J.D. Fischer, who works with implementation of value-based payment in state health care contracting; Practice Transformation Manager Laura Pennington, who oversaw development of the Statewide Common Measure Set; and Healthier Washington Connector Bonnie Wennerstrom, who is the former SIM Project Director for the state.
CMMI
Jennifer Lloyd, PhD, and Gregory J. Boyer, PhD, the respective Evaluation Leads for SIM Round 1 and Round 2
The presenters will also participate in a Question and Answer session with webinar attendees at the conclusion of all presentations.

SHADAC Report: Uninsurance among Children Increased Nationwide in 2017, Ending Steady Decline
May 1, 2019:The national uninsured rate among children increased from 4.7% (about 3.6 million children) in 2016 to 5.0% (about 3.9 million children) in 2017. This increase interrupted a trend of nationwide gains in children’s coverage from 2008 through 2016, during which the uninsured rate dropped by more than half, from 9.7% to 4.7%. The 2017 nationwide increase spanned demographic groups (income, race/ethnicity, and parental education) and was driven by declines in Medicaid and individual coverage.
At the state level, coverage changes mirrored the national picture of increases in uninsurance and ESI coverage, along with decreases in Medicaid and individual coverage. Disparities in children’s 2017 uninsured rates were substantial within and across states both among children as a whole and by demographic groups.
These findings come from a new SHADAC report analyzing the most recent national and state-level data on health insurance coverage among children from the American Community Survey.
Explore the Analysis: State Profiles and Chartbook
Dig deeper into this new analysis by exploring two-page “at a glance” state profiles for all states, including coverage changes from 2016 to 2017 and comparison between state and national uninsured rates for 2017. These profiles, along with a summary chartbook and detailed 50-state tables, are available at www.shadac.org/KidsReport2017.
Learn More: May 2nd Webinar on the Data and State-Level Policy Implications
Join us for online discussion of this new analysis and promising state-level policies that could help expand children’s coverage. This interactive discussion will be led by SHADAC Director Lynn Blewett, SHVS Director Heather Howard, and SHADAC Deputy Director Elizabeth Lukanen and will offer state-based policymakers a forum to learn from and share insight with each other.
Date: May 2, 2019
Time: 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Central / 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Eastern
