For many years there has been a growing movement to improve the quality and delivery of healthcare in the United States. These efforts took a significant step forward with the passing of the Affordable Care Act in March of 2010. This Act contains many different programs to improve care coordination and the quality of care provided, expand access to healthcare, and lower costs through efficiency.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is an Agency in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. CMS administers Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), as well as new insurance oversight and consumer information programs. As such, CMS plays an important role in many of the recent healthcare improvement initiatives.
