This report-back session discusses the implementation of the Integrated Community Care Model, which uses a case-based integrated financing model to fund and integrate all necessary care services. It covers topics such as calculating per case cost, utilizing the Case Mix system for service unit cost calculations, determining co-payment amounts, means-testing/universal payment, and defining service scope and outcome measures. The model also emphasizes the ability to delay institutionalization, benchmarking, and the inclusion of a family doctor system in the healthcare framework. It also highlights the importance of care management through a single point of entry, client choice in selecting formal providers, quality control regulations, and training informal caregivers to become eligible for allowances.
