Through these collaborative efforts, CCPI aims to
Strengthening Care for Veterans Now and in the Future
MISSION: Accelerate VA’s transition to high-value care that creates efficiencies, promotes equity and achieves the best health outcomes for all Veterans
VISION: Collaborate across the government and health care industry to design, evaluate and scale innovative payment and health care delivery approaches to drive value and better serve Veterans

Our Approach to Innovation
CCPI leads the designing, testing and implementation of pilot programs to improve health care services and payment options for Veterans. From concept to close, CCPI partners closely with VA medical centers and facilities, VA regional offices, VA program offices, Veteran organizations and industry to ensure that the needs of Veterans are at the center of every pilot program we create.

CCPI uses a standard framework for pilot program assessment, approval and management. Using this framework allows us to create a structured approach to innovation that helps us:
- Identify the need for care and payment innovation through data-driven decision-making.
- Proactively identify high-risk, high-need Veterans with various illnesses and in different geographies.
- Ensure health equity is accounted for throughout a pilot’s design and implementation.
- Engage the VA Innovation Steering Committee to identify, evaluate, prioritize and recommend innovation opportunities.
- Leverage the authority granted by Section 152 of the MISSION Act to submit waiver requests for congressional approval.
Getting More Veterans Smiling With VETSmile
In July 2021, CCPI launched the VETSmile pilot program to improve dental care access for VA-enrolled Veterans who are currently ineligible for VA dental services. In collaboration with nationwide community dental care partners, CCPI launched the VETSmile pilot, which in its initial year, expects to serve 3,900 Veterans through 9,000 patient visits!
