Project Administrator, Blueprint for Health

Overview

The Blueprint for Health was established to promote high quality care that integrates advanced primary care, specialty care and community-based services to impact Vermonters' health and wellbeing. Advanced primary care encompasses prevention services as well as integration of care and services for people with complex health and social needs. Supported by multi-payer participation, the Blueprint has built a foundation of advanced primary care based on the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model and bolstered by multi-disciplinary Community Health Teams (CHTs) that provide care coordination and linkages to services across the care continuum and in the community. Essential to the success of the PCMHs and CHTs is a network of locally hired Program Managers, Community Health Team Leaders, and Quality Improvement Facilitators. This network has been integral to facilitating local transformations and increasing collaboration across community partners.
