Benefits of Participation

Health care organizations and their communities selected to participate in the Delta Region Community Health Systems Development Program receive technical assistance to help leaders and providers transition to value-based care and prepare for population health management.

Services provided include:

• In-depth on-site comprehensive consultations and off-site coaching with subject matter experts over multiple years (up to three years) to support hospitals and clinics with the implementation of best practices and adoption of transition to value-based care strategies to position the organization and community for population health. On-site consultations target financial, operational and quality improvement, transitions of care, revenue cycle management, physician practice management, and telehealth services.
• Resources to support the development and implementation of telehealth services, which include funding for equipment, hardware, software, and training.
• Assessments and feasibility studies as deemed necessary based on need, as well as direct hands-on technical support for the implementation of recommendations.
• Peer-to-peer education opportunities — regional summits, learning collaboratives, and off-site and virtual bootcamps — are designed to build internal capacity to support sustainability and promote secondary gains.
• One-on-one assistance in developing a community care coordination (CCC) plan to assist leaders in creating a local continuum of care. A CCC plan is critical in building a local infrastructure for managing population health care services in the future. Funding is provided to support a community champion to assist leadership in developing the CCC plan and helping to promote effective communications.
