New Resources: Supporting Successful Implementation of the AHEAD Model

UsofCare’s in-depth research and listening work has shown that people desire targeted improvements to shift the health care system toward one that prioritizes quality over quantity of care. To that end, USofCare has worked with state and national partners to provide strategic, policy, and communications assistance to support implementation of the States Achieving Health Care Efficiency through Accountable Design (AHEAD) Model, a patient-first care model that, once implemented, will increase people’s access to affordable, comprehensive, and understandable care.

Our Interested Parties Memo and related Communications Toolkit highlight our work supporting these efforts in Rhode Island. These resources offer insights into lessons learned for stakeholder engagement tactics, winning messages, and ongoing opportunities for advocates and policymakers in states aiming to successfully advance implementation of the AHEAD Model, or its individual components.
