New CMMI Models - Implications for SDOH & Interoperability

Thank you to everyone who joined us for yesterday’s Civitas member-only webinar, “New CMMI Models: Implications for SDOH & Interoperability,” presented by Karen Ostrowski, Civitas’ Director of Health Policy and Partnerships. During the session, Karen shared timely insights on the four new models introduced by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) and what they signal for the future of payment reform – particularly the shift toward longer-term, population-level accountability across prevention, chronic care, accountable care, and serious illness.

Key takeaways included:

  • These new models represent a clear evolution away from short-cycle pilots toward sustained, system-level accountability
  • Interoperability is no longer a future goal—it is an assumed foundation embedded into model design
  • Organizations working across health data, care delivery, and SDOH will need to align strategies, partnerships, and infrastructure to meet these expectations
  • There is a growing need to operationalize data sharing and coordination capabilities that support whole-person, longitudinal care
