  • Baskets of Care
    ICSI is facilitating a Minnesota Department of Health project that is defining seven baskets of care meant to help consumers compare the value of services offered by different providers.
  • Diagnostic Imaging
    ICSI is working with the medical community to enable providers to use appropriateness criteria to order high-technology diagnostic imaging scans at the point of care as an option to health plan prior notification.
  • DIAMOND
    DIAMOND is one of the nation’s most promising efforts to improve health care for people with depression because it changes the way care is delivered and how it is paid for. Through ICSI, medical groups, health plans, employers and patients collaborated to develop a better, evidenced-based model for managing depression.
  • Health Care Home
    "Health Care home" is considered a key strategy to transform health care. ICSI is collaborating with health care leaders to build a medical home model that is patient-centered and value-driven.
  • Palliative Care
    The ICSI Palliative Care Strategic Initiative will focus on identifying the elements of care delivery that will improve the quality of the patient's care while increasing its value. It will address care delivery redesign, payment methodologies, and elements of patient/family-centered care.
