CMS has announced that it is accepting applications for a new Innovation Advisors program to help health professionals deepen skills that will drive improvements to patient care and reduce costs.
Under the new program, there will be up to 200 Innovation Advisors, including clinicians, allied health professionals, health administrators and others. They will attend in-person meetings as well as remote sessions to expand their skills and knowledge and apply what they learn in their organizations and communities.
After an initial orientation phase, Innovation Advisors will then work with CMS' Innovation Center to test new models of care delivery in their own organizations and communities. They will also create partnerships to find new ideas that work and share them regionally and nationally.
Applications for the Innovation Advisors program are due on Nov. 15. Applications will be reviewed and Innovation Advisors will be notified of their selection by mid-December.
