The SCAN foundation's framework for advancing integrated person-centered care

Abstract

A genuine opportunity exists to reform medical and long-term care systems to be more responsive to people's needs and preferences and provide efficient, cost-effective care delivery. California is preparing to test models of integration for those dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid that aim to improve care while managing costs. The SCAN Foundation has created a conceptual framework for guiding investments in California and beyond that is intended to create a more "person-centered"system that integrates medical care and supportive services. This article describes the foundation's vision and framework for creating a more person-centered system and its support of California's efforts in achieving this goal.
