Introduction

In this episode, I sat down with Dawn Alley, President of Decision Support at Carebridge, a company that works with health plans and states to care for individuals receiving long-term support services. Prior to joining Carebridge, Dawn spent about a decade working in the federal government as Chief Strategy Officer at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), and before that as Deputy Senior Advisor for Value-based Transformation at HHS.

Dawn and I discuss:

• The main initiatives she worked on at CMMI including the Accountable Health Communities Model and Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program

• Lessons learned during her tenure about implementing and delivering healthcare models at scale

• Why Dawn is excited about the future of long-term care services and why she believes in Carebridge’s model
