Abstract

This is the first annual statewide report for the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program Independent Evaluator. The Independent Evaluator team is represented by the State University of New York Research Foundation (SUNY RF), and composed of investigators from the University at Albany, State University of New York, Boston University School of Public Health, and the University of Maryland School of Public Health. For this evaluation, the SUNY RF submitted a competitive bid to the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH), and was awarded a contract that began in the last quarter of 2016. This report covers activities conducted, begun and/or completed between the period of late 2016 through early 2018.

This first annual report includes a summary of the literature and a summary of activities of all three research teams of the evaluation project, as well as main findings of the work in the NYS DSRIP Evaluation Plan. For the Implementation and Process Study team, primary data from the field were obtained and findings from the first year of qualitative and quantitative work of this arm are summarized in this document. For the Time Series Analysis and Comparative Analysis research teams, there were delays in 2017 in acquiring the necessary administrative data for the empirical work to be performed. However, work proceeded and models for the analyses in these two research teams were developed and comprehensive literature reviews were completed. Findings of the Time Series Analysis and Comparative Analysis based on administrative data will be included in future annual reports. In addition to the main findings of each team of the evaluation, studies planned for the upcoming evaluation year are also described in this report.
