Abstract
Executive Summary
This baseline report covers the process and implementation activities of the State Innovation Model
(SIM) test grant in Iowa from pre-implementation (2015) through the first three quarters of the
first implementation year (2016). The objective of the process and implementation evaluation is to
describe the structure of the interventions and actions being utilized in the SIM initiative, along with
identifying advances and challenges encountered during implementation.
A variety of methods were used to gather the information provided in this report. The University of
Iowa Public Policy Center (PPC) team reviewed documents and collected information from pertinent
websites, participated in bi-weekly phone conferences with the state SIM team and the Center for
Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), participated in monthly phone conferences with the
state SIM team and the national evaluators, and conducted stakeholder interviews to understand
how the SIM initiative was being implemented during this time period.
SIM year 1 (2015) and year 2 (2016) were development and building years for the SIM initiative in
Iowa. A significant amount of time was spent working to facilitate collaborations with the multitudes
of stakeholders integral to the successful implementation of the SIM activities
