What Will the Value Acceleration Initiative Accomplish?

WCHQ will accelerate members’ success in achieving better results for patients with multiple morbidities by developing a comprehensive set of “best practices” that will encompass ways to improve value through clinical quality improvement, practice redesign, payment strategies, benefit plan design, and patient engagement/ self-management. This new strategic initiative will result in:

  • Continued and dramatic improvement in selected quality metrics to maintain Wisconsin’s high national ranking;
  • Achieving an improvement in Wisconsin’s ranking on a per capita cost to be among the lowest five states in the country; and,
  • An increase in member engagement and satisfaction.
