The Vermont Blueprint for Health – Provider Information

Three Objectives

1. Improve the Health of the Population
2. Enhance the Patient Experience of Care (including Quality, Access, and Reliability)
3. Reduce, or at Least Control, the Per Capita Cost of Care

The Blueprint Model Includes the Following Components:

• Support Primary Care Practices in achieving NCQA (National Council Quality Association) PCMH (Patient Center Medical Home) recognition which results in incentive payments from insurers and patient care support from a Community Health Team
• Statewide health information network that provides access to patient information to a wide range of providers of health and human services
• Continual evaluation to identify success and opportunities for improvement in patient care, practice management and the reform initiative

What’s In It for a Practice?

• Financial incentives for primary care practices once they achieve NCQA-PCMH recognition
• Support of a multi-disciplinary Community Health Team to assist the neediest patients
• Have the right information you need to be better prepared to treat your patients
