Massachusetts Community-Based Organization Perspectives on Medicaid Redesign.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The purpose of the study is to investigate how community-based organizations perceive Medicaid policy changes to address the social determinants of health.

Methods

This study included 46 key informant interviews, representing 44 community-based organizations across Massachusetts conducted from September 2017 to March 2018. The interviews were designed to collect community-based organizations' perceptions of Medicaid policy changes. An Advisory Board was empaneled for feedback on data collection and analysis. Massachusetts was chosen as a study site in light of explicit policy efforts to incentivize healthcare organizations to take a more active role in social determinants of health, most notably through the creation of Medicaid Accountable Care Organizations.
