Integrated Communities Care Management Model

Vermont

Vermont's Integrated Communities Care Management Learning Collaborative (ICCMLC) trains communities in Vermont to implement the Integrated Care Management (ICM) Model to improve care for complex patients. ICM targets patients through the Camden Coalition's hotspotting technique, which identifies geographic areas with high proportions of residents with complex needs. Once patients have been identified and enrolled, they are assigned a Lead Care Coordinator (LCC) who guides joint care planning and helps the patient define and work towards personal, social, emotional and health-related goals. In addition to clinical support, the LCC helps coordinate essential community services based on identified needs, which may include housing, food insecurity, substance abuse, mental health, violence, economic issues and transportation.
