THCB Spotlights: David Smith, Medicaid Transformation Project at Avia

By ZOYA KHAN

Matthew Holt talks to David Smith who is working on the Medicaid Transformation Project at Avia, which is looking at how hospitals & health plans can benefit from Medicaid programs. David talks about the tremendous amount of capital being poured into Medicaid as the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, and how the problem is only getting worse. So the focus of the project is trying to reduce federal spend on Medicaid services and trying to reach vulnerable communities suffering from the crisis. At Avia, they are trying to take the best of model science and the best of digital capabilities to help create more efficient care models for their clients as well as reduce costs.
