How effectively are states coordinating across departments to implement health reform? What are some strategies for earning grant funding and developing health-reform human resources? How are states tackling the work that comes with modifying state laws and policies in preparation for 2014? This State Refor(u)m webinar will answer these questions, with representatives from states describing their challenges and solutions navigating the many interlocking provisions of the ACA. The conversation will size up many components of health reform—from coverage and access to provider capacity and coordination of care—and offer ideas for building them into a comprehensive and strategic implementation experience.

Presenters Sonya Schwartz and Chris Cantrell will highlight many of the coordination ideas posted on State Refor(u)m by its community of users, so add your coordination work to the collection of documents and comments, after you register to attend the webinar.
