This overview provides information about North Carolina's Integrated Delivery Model, which aims to improve beneficiary goals, care quality, and achieve shared savings. The strategic framework development process involved volunteers, beneficiaries, and various agencies to define what works well and what needs improvement. The model builds on existing strengths, such as statewide medical homes and beneficiary-centered care. Phase 1 focuses on nursing home and adult care home residents, with medical homes and resource allocation based on independent assessments. Phase 2 aims to realign incentives, build capacity, establish new relationships, and encourage data sharing. The proposal has been submitted to CMS.
