The Hilltop Institute has just published a
summary report of an assessment it conducted of four grant programs funded by the
Maryland Community Health Resources Commission (CHRC). The mission of the CHRC
is to increase access to care and build capacity among the state’s safety net
providers. In spring 2016, the CHRC contracted with Hilltop to assess the
programs of four selected 2016 grantees: Potomac Healthcare Foundation, Lower
Shore Clinic, Garrett County Health Department, and Baltimore City Health
Department. The objective of the assessments was to determine the extent to
which the programs had an impact on health services utilization and costs for
participating Medicaid beneficiaries. Hilltop’s summary report discusses the
assessment methodology, limitations, and key findings.
