COMPASS partners gathered in the Twin Cities to share best practices.
ICSI and nine other organizations have recently completed a three-year initiative funded by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation to implement and evaluate COMPASS – a team-based model designed to improve the care of patients with depression and diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease.
Some of the 200+ clinics involved in the initiative are continuing to implement the model as is, while other medical groups are integrating components of COMPASS into their medical home or other collaborative care management models.

COMPASS Intervention Guide
The COMPASS Intervention Guide provides the clinical workflow, supporting annotations and appendices to aid primary care systems in implementing the COMPASS model. Developed with dedicated involvement by the original COMPASS partners, it includes both evidence and best practices, and provides tools these partners found helpful in implementation. View the Guide.

Community Health Plan of Washington (CHPW) and Neighborcare Health, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and one of the community health centers in the CHPW network, together created this toolkit to share lessons learned. It includes background information about collaborative care and a robust description of how this FQHC implemented the COMPASS model for others interested in initiating a similar program.
