Project Abstract Improving Technology Innovation in Medicaid Programs Health technology innovations have the potential to improve patient outcomes and deliver cost savings, but these benefits have not been realized by Medicaid programs. Even when high-tech treatments are available, Medicaid patients may be less likely to receive treatment and have worse health outcomes. Other forms of technology innovations, including web-based platforms and applications, are also under- evaluated and implementation lags behind user needs. The identification of pain-points and areas of improvement are necessary for designing research and investment systems that can take advantage of health-technology for Medicaid beneficiaries. A convening of states’ Medicaid Medical Directors would provide the unique opportunity to understand undiscovered challenges facing Medicaid consumers and Medicaid programs at large that may be amenable to improvement through technology innovation. The 2021 “Workshop to Inform Technology Innovation and Research for Medicaid Programs” will utilize the Design Thinking Process to guide clinician leaders through a shared discovery and understanding of the needs of Medicaid beneficiaries and they will ideate prototypes of solution to address beneficiary needs. Baseline information about technology-amenable challenges faced by Medicaid beneficiaries will be collected through pre-workshop surveys. Building on the pre-workshop activities, the workshop organizers will guide participants during the first phase of the workshop to brainstorm and identify areas of promise to pursue. The second phase of the workshop will iteratively enable clinician leaders to ideate prototype solutions. Post-workshop activities will organize, synthesize, codify, and disseminate the workshop findings so that that policy, research, and innovation ecosystems can prioritize their activities to improve Medicaid beneficiaries lives through innovative use of technology.

项目摘要 加强医疗补助计划中的技术创新 医疗技术创新有可能改善患者的预后并节省成本， 但这些好处并没有通过医疗补助计划实现。即使高科技的治疗方法 在可获得的情况下，医疗补助患者接受治疗的可能性可能较小，健康结果可能更差。 其他形式的技术创新，包括基于网络的平台和应用程序，也在- 评估和实施滞后于用户需求。痛点和痛区的识别 改进是必要的，以设计能够利用 医疗补助受益人的医疗技术。召集各州的医疗补助医疗主管将 提供独特的机会来了解医疗补助消费者和 整个医疗补助计划可能会通过技术创新来改进。 2021年的“医疗补助项目技术创新和研究信息研讨会”将利用 指导临床医生领导者通过共享的发现和理解 医疗补助受益人的需求，他们将构思解决方案原型以满足受益人 需要。有关医疗补助受益人面临的技术顺应挑战的基线信息将 通过研讨会前的调查收集。在讲习班前活动的基础上，讲习班 组织者将在研讨会的第一阶段指导参与者集思广益并确定区域 对追求的承诺。研讨会的第二阶段将反复使临床医生领导能够 构思原型解决方案。研讨会后的活动将组织、综合、编纂和传播 研讨会的结果，以便政策、研究和创新生态系统可以优先考虑其 通过创新使用技术来改善医疗补助受益人生活的活动。
