Abstract:
This report summarizes Minnesota's efforts to transform its delivery system, focusing on landmark legislation passed in 2008, but also looking at the many public and private initiatives that preceded its passage. It describes Minnesota's experience to date with developing and implementing these reforms. Minnesota's 2008 legislation contained a number of specific elements with significant potential to achieve overall health care cost savings. In addition to establishing and funding a statewide health improvement program, and enhancements to coverage, the law included various provisions to collect and report data to achieve price and quality transparency, as well as provisions to support care redesign and payment reform; these latter provisions are the focus of this report.
