Recently restructured Care Coordination Teams are now working together with their groups of specific Primary Care Clinics to: • Implement the movement of communication of CC information to & from the Interdisciplinary Care Team (ICT) via our new web-based communication tool (CareTeamConnect). • Proactively coordinate care based on member’s level of risk. • Actively enroll identified members into special Care Programs for additional Disease Management.

  13. Coordination of Care for Positive Health Outcomes

  14. What Is Care Coordination? Trillium’s Definition of Coordination of Care: Care Coordination is a community-wide team based approach to address the healthcare needs of the Trillium membership. Care Coordination incorporates physical health, behavioral health and community-based services, providers, and practitioners, to identify needs and ensure the provision of the right care at the right time, for our members.

  15. Trillium Community Health Care Model External Provider makes referral of patient to Trillium Care Coordination. Provider/TCHP identifies patient with complex needs. • Internal • Hot Spot List • Risk Stratification • Hospital Readmissions • CC/UM Identification referrals • Trillium Care Coordination triages patient referral to determine if CHW is needed. • Trillium Care Coordination Team identified to work with CHW and patient • LUCC receives triaged CHW referrals • Care Plan issues for CHW assistance are identified on referral • Trillium Care Coordination Team meets every 2 weeks with LUCC CHWs • Ongoing training • Complex Case Review • Updates on referred patients • Continued ongoing communication
