What We Are DoingSetting parameters

within which we will test and discover breakthrough

approaches to integration

What We Are Not Doing

Solving all challenges linked to behavioral

health or chronic disease

Overarching Approach To Initiative

We will test our collaborative capacity and identify potential breakthrough opportunities in two principal focus areas

Design Team Focus Areas

Chronic Disease:

Prevention & Management

Behavioral Health

Charge for Design Teams

1. Analyze the current landscape in the focus area

2. Identify shared goals that could foster the vision

3. Propose specific initiatives in which we might pilot breakthroughs in collaboration that would improve our work across the continuum and the resulting outcomes

What We Are Aiming For

Mutually Reinforcing ActivitiesInputs

-Landscape briefs in Behavioral Health and Chronic Disease-User/Provider dialogue and design needs-Economic analysis relating to costs of fragmentation-Scan of success factors, barriers and applicability of other complex integration efforts

Outputs

-Design teams recommend one or more breakthrough integration opportunities -New design simulation, implementation, study and adaptations-Design team identifies policy enablers and barriers to change-Innovations impact environment to make healthy choices easier and recognize that people live in families and are not just individuals-Learnings report (using stories)

Impact

-Increased collaborative capacity and effectiveness-Paths to scalable, spreadable system reforms-Measureable change for people living in community

A NEW CONTINUUM CONVERSATION

"Leaders who can build partnerships for seeing larger systems...must cultivate open-mindedness in order to challenge continually their own favored views and to learn how to embrace multiple points of view in the service of building shared understanding and commitment.

This work will require a set of deep capacities: systems intelligence, building partnership across boundaries, and openness of mind, heart, and will."

- Peter Senge, Systems Citizenship: The Leadership Mandate for This Millennium

Economic Analysis

Mapping/Scanning: A first step in economic analysis will be to conduct a literature search on the costs of fragmentation in the arenas of chronic conditions and behavioral health. Focus on the costs of siloing care and support services and related reimbursement. Broader cost implications of transitions issues in the health care system and cost implications regarding the social determinants of health will not be the focus of the initial analysis but could be addressed later.

Does the work to date on economic analysis of costs of fragmentation provide guidance for next steps?

Environmental Scan

Environmental Scan Scope: pursue an effort that will produce an environmental scan and sense-making of current cross-sector initiatives. This work will likely support multiple efforts in the community, but could provide valuable information for Silos to Circles Design Teams and the Core Group as they shape potential integration initiatives. Limit the studied initiatives to those that: 1) test barriers and facilitators in the field; and 2) bring together elements that were not previously working together in order to achieve better outcomes.

Is the focus of our environmental scan still appropriate?

Design Team Guidance and Charges

  Design Team Role, Process and Timeline

April-May 2015

Establish the charge and key questions that the design teams will answer Articulate terms and realities of work (e.g. answer key questions, suggest

breakthroughs, share with core group, work may or may not go forward) Core group members invite design team participants (using template language) Lab support finalizes team list and coordinates development of issues paper

  Setting System Context Setting Person-Centered Context

June-September

2015 

White Paper/Issues Briefing Synthesis of Critical Data Sets

Focus groups Observation leveraging design

principles Design Team Output:

o Fill in gaps, develop and learn from use-caseo Identify and answer the big questions, including the following:

What are the greatest needs in navigating the system What gets in the way of achieving right levels and use of care How do life stages impact the discussion

Propose potential breakthroughs* that could be achieved in this area to foster the vision and outline how the breakthrough could be modeled or tested in a pilot, demonstration or initiative

Include in the proposal how any successful pilot could be scaled and spread *Breakthrough could include:- Scrapping and redesigning all or part of the system- Putting existing components of system together differently to create new whole and

achieve desired results*Breakthrough is NOT tinkering with broken parts of system or adding new broken parts

Essential Functions of the Lab

Helps a collaboration:• Hold guiding vision and strategy through

neutral/shared forum and process• Support aligned activities• Gauge and share progress• Build public will• Advance policy• Mobilize funding
