The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has named 11 health care providers from New England, including four from Boston, to join the first class of “innovation advisors.”
The advisor program, created by the Affordable Care Act, is designed to give medical professionals the skills they need to assess and change the health care of large groups of patients, including in areas of economics and population health.
They also will become point people for testing and ramping up pilot programs for changing the health care system.
