Defining Success:  A State-Specific Approach

AMMS creates a needed hands-on resource for states across the U.S. to both identify a path to and implement integrated initiatives. Participating states can leverage exceptional dual integration expertise, as well as learn what works best in different circumstances. We bring and share best practices that continually improve through our multi-state experiences. 

We define success with each U.S. state based on their individual goals. Across states, success includes: 

  • Programs reflect the goals and values  
    of diverse dually eligible individuals and health equity 
  • More individuals living in the community 
  • Improved individual experience 
  • Improved quality and outcomes 
  • Increased state program cost efficiencies, financial sustainability, and potential savings  
  • Greater state institutional expertise in Medicare and dual integration 
  • Wider availability of, and more people enrolled in, integrated programs
