COMPASS: Care for Multiple Chronic Diseases

The COMPASS Consortium is implementing and evaluating the use of the COMPASS model as part of a CMS cooperative agreement.

ICSI is leading a consortium of 10 medical groups to implement a COMPASS (Care of Mental and Physical and Substance Use Syndromes) care model in seven states to improve the care of patients with depression and diabetes and/or cardiovascular diseases, and possibly risky substance use. The COMPASS Consortium consists of ICSI as the lead organization, in partnership with: Community Health Plan of Washington, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, Kaiser Permanente Southern California, Mayo Clinic Health System, Michigan Center for Clinical Systems Improvement, Mount Auburn Cambridge Independent Practice Association (Massachusetts), Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative, AIMS (Advancing Integrated Mental Health Solutions) Center at the University of Washington, and HealthPartners Institute for Research and Evaluation.
