Using Global Budgets and Multisector Teams to Align Systems in Vermont , Wednesday, November 1, 12:00 p.m. (ET)

This RWJF Systems for Action study tests the effectiveness of a global all-payer payment model combined with multisector community health teams in improving health and social outcomes for Vermont residents. The Vermont Blueprint for Health initiative is among the most ambitious statewide health financing reforms now underway in the US. The study uses quasi-experimental methods to estimate the reform’s effects on relationships among health and social service organizations, access to needed health and social services, health care utilization and costs, and equity in health outcomes. Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University are collaborating with the Department of Vermont Health Access, OneCare Vermont, and the Green Mountain Care Board to conduct the study. Results will provide
state and federal decisionmakers with strategies for using global budgeting and multisector teams to achieve systems alignment.
