About Douglas Jacobs

Dr. Jacobs is the Chief Transformation Officer in the Center for Medicare at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In this role, he helps to lead center-wide efforts to move the health care system towards value-based care, advance health equity, and promote delivery system transformation. Prior to this role, he was the Chief Medical Officer and first Chief Innovation Officer for the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS), where he helped oversee the state’s Medicaid program. Dr. Jacobs is a board-certified Internal Medicine Physician and has continued seeing patients throughout the pandemic. He was chosen by Governor Tom Wolf to help lead the Whole-Person Health Reform package in Pennsylvania. Under his leadership, the Department of Human Services created Pennsylvania’s first equity incentive program in Medicaid and also led the creation of a new program to incorporate community-based organizations to address the social determinants of health. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, he helped lead the Department’s response to the pandemic. He helped start a successful program that paired academic medical centers with long-term care facilities that was funded for $175 million by the state legislature. When the first COVID-19 vaccinations were approved under emergency use authorization, he helped lead the phased roll-out of vaccine distribution and implementation of vaccination programs for the most underserved Pennsylvanians. Dr. Jacobs has written and published articles in the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, American Journal for Public Health, Health Affairs Blog, Washington Post, and New York Times. He graduated magna cum laude from Brown University and with distinction from UCSF’s School of Medicine. He has worked in several health policy offices in government, including ASPE at HHS, the National Academy of Medicine, and the Senate HELP Committee. He was previously selected as one of Forbes 30 under 30 in Healthcare.
