State Innovation Models Initiative

The State Innovation Models (SIM) Initiative is a government program that supports states in developing and testing new approaches to improve healthcare quality, affordability, and access. By funding innovative projects, the goal is to promote more efficient, patient-centered care systems that better coordinate services, reduce costs, and enhance health outcomes. States can customize strategies such as integrating care for chronic conditions, expanding preventive services, and leveraging data analytics. Ultimately, SIM aims to transform the way healthcare is delivered at the state level, leading to a more effective and sustainable healthcare system for residents.
