Arkansas Health System Improvement Initiative

As the U.S. health care system undergoes dramatic changes, ACHI developed a patient-centered vision for rebuilding our health system to better meet the needs of Arkansans. Today Arkansans across the state, from both the public and private sectors, are working together to proactively shape the future of our health system.

As the state embarks upon health care system transformation, workforce development is a crucial component of a viable, efficient system. ACHI has undertaken key projects to guide and inform policy development with a goal of ensuring that an adequate health care workforce is available to all Arkansans.

ACHI was envisioned as an organization dedicated to change—change that leads to improved health for all Arkansans. While we have made positive strides in changing Arkansas’s health environment, our work is far from finished. Ongoing activities as well as historical successes are described in Our Work.
