The Community Care Team: A Model Strategy for Systems Alignment
The alignment of multiple dynamic, highly diverse health and social service delivery systems is an ever-evolving endeavor. In this session, we review the Community Care Team (CCT) model that has been developed in the Region Six Integrated Delivery Network (IDN). The CCT is a working group comprised of decision-making representatives from over 50 clinical and non-clinical agencies and organizations that serve the most vulnerable members of our communities. The CCT is a functional exposition of "the network" in which service and support systems operate, and that creates a space in which those systems can be concurrently observed, understood, and aligned in real time. After describing the structure and functions of the CCT, we review cases that demonstrate its value for enhancing the accessibility to, and integration of behavioral, medical and social service assets to improve the health and wellbeing of the people we serve. Likewise, we describe CCT value to service providers in cultivating shared awareness and enhancing coordination through reducing systems gaps, redundancies, and incongruities, while building network awareness, resilience, and capacity to meet the ever-changing priorities and needs of consumers. At the end of this session, participants will be able to: provide a basic description of the CCT Model; describe the key tasks required to start and develop a CCT; describe the basic operations and tools used in a CCT; describe the value of a CCT for coordinated and integrated care models across a network of clinical/non-clinical entities; describe the value of the CCT for network development and systems alignment. This presentation may include breakouts where small groups engage with real CCT cases as a way to demonstrate the different types of value of the CCT.
