9. Sample of Completed PathwaysHealth-related
Health Care Home - Client has appropriate health coverage or financial assistance program in place to establish health care home and has seen a provider a minimum of 2 times at their new health care home.
Dental Care - Same as above, replacing the term “health care home” with “dental care home”.
10. Sample of Completed PathwaysSocietal-related
Employment: Client has found a steady job and is gainfully employed for a minimum of 3 months.
Food Security: Client has achieved food security and has had over the last 3 months, access to a minimum of 2 hot meals per day.
Homelessness Prevention: CHN assures that the client has obtained and maintains stable housing for no less than 3 months.
11. CCCLN Scorecard Advantages Medical Home is a primary outcome for our project
Model Expansion National research efforts to formalize care coordination model should benefit us locally
Local Evaluation Challenges:
Broad & complex application of original Pathways model in Bern. Co.
Commitment to send majority of funding out to community based activities
12. Challenges Bernalillo County’s Project adds approximately 40-50 new clients each month
Several questions in the score card are not asked at the local level
(e.g. insurance status of client)
Access to a medical home is often not a priority for the client, and may be delayed in lieu of other pathways
Insufficient resources for evaluation
13. Benefits to the Community Participation in the National Learning Network has proven to be very beneficial to the development and implementation of our local model
Other counties in New Mexico have expressed an interest in developing a similar model in their communities
Bernalillo County model was selected as an example for AHRQ’s Innovations Exchange website
14. Lessons Learned More buy-in from the navigators when they know that their concerns and/or suggestions are acted upon
Participation in National Learning Network has helped minimize the number of changes required to our local model
Utilization of standardized scorecard brings uniformity to the Network while allowing for flexibility at the local level
