Strategic Planning & Timelines

Value-Based Purchasing and Consumer Engagement Strategies in State Employee Health Plans, a SCI report written by Bailit Purchasing, LLC, is a purchaser guide that lays out concise descriptions of two principal means for improving the value that states can gain through administering State Employee Health Plans (SEHPs): value-based purchasing and consumer engagement. 

Join SCI for a Webinar to discuss the major findings of the new released report, Implementing State Health Reform: Lessons for Policymakers, and hear directly from officials from Tennessee, Vermont, and Wisconsin – regarding their experiences and lessons learned as well as potential implications should federal health reform pass.

This webinar provided an overview of the potential role of a health insurance exchange, state-specific issues that should be considered before establishing an exchange, and the different ways in which an exchange might be structured and operated.

SCI held a discussion on the current status of national health reform and its potential impact on the states.

SCI and GMMB presented steps for developing messages to reach target audiences, research on current messages related to health reform and the economy, and tips of the trade to help adapt messages to your state’s political environment.
