Strengthening Iowa's Community-Based Services System: Transformation Plan

Mathematica and The Harkin Institute developed a Transformation Plan for the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (Iowa HHS) to guide changes to the state’s community-based services system. The plan both presents a vision for change and offers a structure for breaking down the work into manageable streams.

The Transformation Plan begins with a description of its framework in more detail (Section II), then presents strategies for community engagement in Section III. Section IV details the activities that Iowa HHS and its partners can begin in 2023, and Section V describes an approach for ongoing evaluation of the Transformation Plan.
