States in Action: A Quarterly Look at Innovations in Health Policy

The States in Action quarterly newsletter identifies and describes innovative state health-related programs across the country. It is intended to help policymakers, administrators, and researchers as they work to stretch health care dollars and meet the needs of their residents.

States in Action is part of a new Commonwealth Fund initiative on state innovations. The initiative aims to increase understanding about state health system performance, identify and measure the effects of policies intended to improve performance, and spread information about promising practices.
