State Innovation Models (SIM) Initiative

The State Innovation Models (SIM) Initiative is a program designed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to encourage U.S. states to develop and test new ways to improve healthcare delivery and payment systems. By implementing innovative ideas, states aim to enhance the quality of care, reduce costs, and promote better health outcomes for residents. SIM supports states in creating tailored solutions that address their unique healthcare challenges, ultimately aiming to transform the healthcare system into one that is more efficient and effective for everyone.
