In December 2011, Texas received approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for a waiver to upcoming changes in federal support for state Medicaid programs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) applied for the waiver, at the direction of the Texas Legislature, to identify innovative, state-based solutions to Texas’ health care needs.
Under the Texas Transformation and Quality Improvement Program 1115 Waiver, communities and hospitals will form regional healthcare partnerships that support more localized health care solutions. The partnerships will identify ways to improve health services that address the specific needs of their region in order to qualify for incentive payments.

REGIONAL HEALTHCARE PARTNERSHIP (RHP) 20 PLAN UPDATE SUBMISSION
In January 2018, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approved renewal of the Texas Healthcare Transformation and Quality Improvement Program, commonly referred to as the 1115 Medicaid Waiver. As part of the renewal, the Delivery Reform Incentive Payment Program (DSRIP) has transitioned from a program focused on project-level reporting and outcomes to a program that is now focused on activities at the provider-system level with more emphasis placed on improvement of system and regional level health outcomes to address community needs. As a result of this DSRIP transition, new rules and protocols have been developed for demonstration years 7 and 8 (DY7-8), and all regional healthcare partnerships are required to submit regional plans to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and CMS.
The plan update process included every DSRIP provider completing a provider plan template. Every Anchor Team has also completed a template that documents participation by those providers only receiving uncompensated care funds in the region, as well as outlines the process for updating community needs, updating learning collaborative plans and engaging stakeholders.
