Overview
The webinar described heightened CMS expectations for Medicaid demonstration monitoring and evaluation in general (drawing on a Manatt brief summarizing recent federal guidance), along with critical considerations related to data resources, capacity and infrastructure for states with community engagement demonstrations in particular (highlighted in a separate resource guide from Manatt). We then heard from select researchers and evaluators representing West Virginia, Oregon, and Massachusetts who shared their experience with linking data resources between Medicaid and other state agencies.This webinar was offered as part of the AcademyHealth Medicaid Demonstration Evaluation Learning Collaborative.
