CMS looking for innovation advisors

CMS is now accepting applications for a new Innovation Advisors Program to be run by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation.

Under the program, 200 health care professionals will be chosen to implement and test new models of care delivery. Beginning in December, chosen advisors will work with the innovation center to test new models of care delivery in their own organizations and create partnerships to find new ideas that work and share the new ideas.

Employers may be eligible to receive financial support to facilitate a candidate's participation. Applications are being accepted through Nov. 15. Additional information can be found online.
