Medicaid Transformation metrics

Under the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program, Washington State, Accountable Communities of Health, and Medicaid managed care organizations are all accountable for demonstrating improvement toward and attainment of transformation targets. Earning the maximum funding available requires that performance expectations, including reporting activities, are met.
