March 2017 Full Report Prepared for the Delaware Health Care Commission.
The purpose of this report is to summarize the activities and results of the state-led evaluation
of the first-year implementation (AY2) for the Delaware State Innovation Model (DE SIM). DE
SIM is a broad-based health system transformation effort funded by the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) currently being implemented across 38 states and territories.
As an expectation of the overall DE SIM plan, the state-led evaluation is intended to engage
stakeholders in a continuous improvement approach to examining the processes and outcomes
of DE SIM. In collaboration with DE SIM stakeholders, the state-led evaluation is expected to
provide input on, track, and inform stakeholders of progress towards unique, state-specific
implementation milestones and model outcomes. In doing so, a feedback loop will be created
for Delaware to track implementation, make mid-course corrections, and meet program goals.
