Patients as Partners

At NYHealth, we want New Yorkers to have a meaningful role as partners both in their own health care and at the policy level. At the clinical level, patients should be empowered to get their needs met and have a voice in health care decisions. At the policy level, patients and consumers should have a seat at the table to help drive and inform decisions that affect health care policy, quality, access, and costs in New York State.

NYHealth is pleased to launch a Request for Proposals (RFP) to support projects that seek to amplify the voice of the health care consumer and rebalance the health care system so that patients have more influence over their health and health care. Through this RFP, we expect to fund projects that seek system improvements, practice innovations, or policy reforms designed to benefit patients and consumers.

Please find the detailed Patients as Partners RFP here.
