Clark [email protected]New PHTC Weekly Newsletter The New Mexico Health System Innovation Team provided the following update on progress to- ward the State HSI Plan development. First, an update on the HSI Plan: The Department of Health received notice from the Centers for Med- icare and Medicaid Inno- vation that they were allowing State Innovation Model (SIM) Design states the option of apply- ing for a No Cost Exten- sion to complete our New Mexico Health System Innovation Plan (NMHSIP). We are going to take them up on it, which will allow more time for completion of stakeholder input on the All Payer Claims Data- base component and from Mercer, the Human Ser- vices Department Actu- ary, who will be evaluat- ing potential cost savings related to design strate- gies. It will also allow more time for stakeholder plan review and feedback over the next few months. Please take note of the following: The December 15, 2015 Stakeholder Summit has been postponed and will be rescheduled to take place in March 2016 at the Doubletree Hotel in Albuquerque, details on the exact date and time to follow at a later date. The NMHSIP will be posted on the DOH web- site as planned with an opportunity to provide feedback. A notice of the posting will be sent out to stakeholders when it be- comes available. A survey link will accompany the plan when posted, which will allow you to provide feedback, if you wish. http://nmhealth.org/ about/asd/opa/sim/ PHTC Weekly News NM Health System Innovation Update Partnership for a Healthy Torrance Community November 20, 2015 Volume 1, Issue 1
