Lessons Learned • Environment: Political and Social Climate • State Medicaid agency (which funds KCCP) searching for better strategies to reduce costs and improve outcomes • Previous disease management efforts yielded mixed results • High level of readiness to engage and collaborate with local community partners • Shared knowledge/experience among partners of Chronic Care Model

Lessons Learned • Process and Structure: When there are many partners, multiple layers of participation by all partners is difficult to achieve • Variable resources and capabilities within each partnering organization • Some partners will require additional time/assistance • Tension between “cutting slack” and accountability

  8. Lessons Learned • Availability of some flexible resourcesis key to overcoming barriers to success • ADS able to provide bridge one-timefunding when financial model is challenged by unexpectedly low enrollment

  9. Lessons Learned • Resources: Identify and leverage resources and relationships that partnering organizations possess • Harborview, part of the Academic Medical Center, provides access to valuable expertise, e.g. Motivational Interviewing workshops • ADS connection to State agencies on aging enables extension of eligible long term carepopulation

  10. Lessons Learned • Flexibility and adaptability are invaluable attributes • KCCP care model has evolved • Iterative process of learning how best to provide community-based disease management • Model different from that initially envisioned • Model modified because funding more constrained than initially anticipated • Modifications actually appear to have led to a better overall model
