Health Reform Coordination
In order to successfully leverage the many tools in the ACA to achieve their own goals for health reform, states will need to take a coordinated approach that cuts across organizational lines.
The ACA contains many interlocking provisions that will have a collective effect on health systems and outcomes. The law makes changes that, together, will influence coverage, access, quality, costs and health status through insurance regulation, public program eligibility, health services delivery and payment, and data collection and transparency among others. States that take a comprehensive and strategic view of ACA implementation have the greatest chance of successfully making improvements to their existing health systems

Last Friday I gave a talk at a University of Maryland Law School Roundtable. It's basically a top 10 list of issues arising as states navigate health reform. A colleague asked me to post it here so they could link back to it, but please feel free to share thoughts/ reactions to it here. It's just the deck and not the script. It is public and reusable on Prezi, here is the link.

The State Refor(u)m team has compiled a chart highlighting state implementation activity in seven areas, including: exchanges, eligibility systems, rate review, and public engagement. You can view the chart and access related resources here: http://www.statereforum.org/state-health-reform-activity-chart
Below, I've also included a set of state maps based on the data from the chart.
