Federal Agencies

Federal agencies shape the rules, incentives and systems that govern health care delivery across the United States. Those decisions play out in high-stakes environments where evidence, clarity and accountability are essential. Comagine Health® partners with federal leaders — including CMS, HRSA and CDC — to provide rigorous analysis, implementation and evaluation support that strengthen programs and inform policy at scale.

The Challenge

Turning policy into measurable, accountable outcomes

Federal agencies are tasked with improving national health outcomes while balancing equity, cost, access and quality across diverse populations and systems.

Common challenges include:

How We Help

Connecting evidence, data and implementation insight

Federal work rewards partners who can be independent without being disconnected. We work close enough to policy questions to make our analysis useful, and separate enough from the systems being evaluated to make it credible. That combination — proximity to the decision, independence from the outcome — is what lets our evaluations hold up in oversight and inform what comes next.

Evaluating program effectiveness and impact

Deliver independent evaluation of federal programs to assess effectiveness, impact and opportunities for improvement.

Informing policy design and performance

Analyze policy design, implementation and outcomes to understand what works, for whom and under what conditions.

Turning administrative data into actionable insight

Leverage large-scale administrative and claims data to identify trends, disparities and program performance insights.

Strengthening coordination across care systems

Support alignment between clinical and community-based services to improve coordination and address health-related social needs.
