Modernizing Medicaid and Benefits Systems: Strategies for technology, procurement and financing

Modernizing Medicaid and benefits systems is hard. It doesn’t have to be complicated. 

When states align their technology, procurement, and financing strategies, they get stronger state ownership, better collaboration with vendors, and better outcomes for the people who rely on these systems.

Join the Open Contracting Partnership and practitioners for the launch of our new guidance Modernizing Medicaid and Benefits Systems: Technology, procurement, and financing strategies to own your systems.

Drawing on our work with Colorado’s benefits modernization team, insights of state practitioners and examples from across the country, we’ll share practical strategies states are already using: Whether it’s building more flexible modular systems, using times and materials contracts, or practical approaches to working with federal partners on funding.

Buying public interest technology and services more effectively is possible. We look forward to exploring our vision with you.
