Advancing the field of complex care requires a coordinated effort across many organizations, communities, and states to align common goals.
The Blueprint for Complex Care is a joint project of the Camden Coalition’s National Center for Complex Health and Social Needs, the Center for Health Care Strategies, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. It provides a strategic plan to support multidisciplinary innovations and opportunities that improve care for individuals with complex health and social needs.
The Blueprint for Complex Care assesses the state of the field when it was published in 2018, and outlines actionable recommendations to help the field reach its full potential for improving care delivery. It outlines strategies for:
- Developing a shared identity
- Codifying standards
- Building a collective knowledge base
- Bolstering leadership and grassroots support
- Solidifying sustainable funding and effective policies
The Blueprint was made possible through The Commonwealth Fund, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and The SCAN Foundation.
