Moving to a Person Centeredand Integrated System of Care To achieve a person centered system we need a person centered culture and approach at all levels – • Person centered planning and counseling • Person centered providers • Person centered systems that integrate and coordinate social service and health care delivery All SHIP counselors can embrace a person centered approach to counseling and problem solving • Training can ensure that these practices are used routinely with beneficiaries
CMS Strategic Priority – Integrated Care for Dual Eligibles • “Less than 10% of the 12 million dually eligible individuals are enrolled in any form of care that integrates Medicare and Medicaid services, and instead have to navigate disconnected delivery and payment systems. This lack of coordination can lead to fragmented care for individuals, misaligned incentives for payers and providers, and administrative inefficiencies and burdens for all. We must do better, and CMS is taking action.” • Seema Varma, CMS Administrator https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20190423.701475/full/
