Special Projects & Clinical Initiatives 

Education & training to prepare agency partners to participate in the future state of value-based contracting.

Gap closure and service expansion of central triage, mobile crisis services, and crisis beds/residence specific to NOCN community needs.

Pay-for-performance incentive program to build VBP capabilities and partnerships among 26 community-based organizations and clinical providers by identifying high risk patients and linking them to appropriate services.

Primary prevention and chronic disease management initiatives focused on mental, emotional and behavioral (MEB) health and innovative models of prevention and management for substance use disorders, particularly opioid use disorder.

Proposed solutions to improve performance on prioritized FLPPS pay-for-performance clinical outcomes intended to drive rapid results.

A Health Home/Care Management Agency pilot that reduces a care manager's case load with the goals of increased focus on comprehensive transitional care as well as preventive care for high risk patients.

Proposed solutions and identified interventions to address key under-performing clinical outcomes specific to NOCN communities.

These initiatives will promote system transformation through the development of programmatic infrastructure and identified data solutions to support the transitions to VBP. System transformation activities may include activities that address the social determinants of health and the quadruple aim (patient and provider satisfaction, quality and cost), MCO engagement to support VBP, and cost reduction activities that target high risk populations. 

Proposals are currently being accepted from FLPPS contracted Partners.
