Nazihah Siddiqui

Nazihah Siddiqui specializes in the reform of health care delivery systems, with a focus on promoting performance improvement via training and technical assistance. Her expertise centers on peer learning, including developing tailored participant support resources and tools for diverse populations.

Recently, Siddiqui led the development of written resources to promote the adoption and dissemination of promising practices for participants in several CMS Innovation Center models, as part of the Value Based Care Learning System. This work included a change package compiling existing strategies, tactics, and foundational content for participants in two models: the Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health Model and the Kidney Care Choices Model. The change package included evidence-based ideas for improving efficiency and care delivery through home-based care. In addition, for the National Association of County and City Health Officials’ Getting Further Faster initiative, Siddiqui led the development of written technical assistance resources for multisector community coalitions addressing social determinants of health. Through these and other projects, she has gained extensive experience with qualitative research and data collection, including interviews, focus groups, and data analysis and synthesis.

Before joining Mathematica in 2015, Siddiqui held a position at the University of Chicago Medicine, where she supported the development and deployment of the community benefit strategy. She has an M.P.P. from the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy.
