Overview of the West Virginia Health Improvement Institute

The focus of the Health Improvement Institute is to provide a forum for stakeholders to convene to help guide improvements to the health care system in West Virginia and ultimately improve the health status of all West Virginians. Initially, the Health Improvement Institute is focusing on assisting with the execution of the proposed strategies outlined in the Transformation Grants awarded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). One of the principal strategies to be addressed is the migration of primary care in West Virginia to the medical home model of care delivery.

As a result, the Institute is initially being staffed by the project team assisting the Bureau of Medicaid Services with the implementation of these grants. Jeffrey Coben, MD, is serving as the overall Project Coordinator for this effort. Roger Chaufournier is serving as the Coordinator for the Institute. A key focus of the Institute is to help position West Virginia as a leader in the adoption of the medical home model.
