Integrated Care DC Releases At-A-Glance Report
Integrated Care DC’s newly released At-A-Glance report highlights the significant strides participating providers have made as they work to deliver integrated, whole-person care and prepare for value-based payment (VBP) models. Altogether, 39 practice teams from 35 organizations engaged in 1:1 coaching during Year 4 (August 14, 2023 – August 13, 2024). Among the 24 practice sites engaged in at least six months of coaching, 82% scored at or above an intermediate level of integration in Year 4 based on an annual reassessment of their progress across key aspects of integrated care, up from 76% in the previous year.
We invite you to review the At-A-Glance report and explore the tools and training materials from our learning series on our website at IntegratedCareDC.com.
