Illinois House Call Project
|
Managing serious illnesses or confronting significant mobility issues is inherently challenging and adding or expanding home-based primary care (HBPC) offers a compassionate, effective, and cost-saving solution. The continuum of medical care in the home, especially for this population, is long overdue for transformation, and at the forefront of this transformative movement is the Illinois House Call Project, orchestrated by the Home Centered Care Institute (HCCI). We believe Illinoisans have the right to receive care in the place of their choosing and we are meeting the challenge head-on by educating, training, and growing home-based medical care practices across our state enabling them to add or expand their home-based primary care model.
By joining this established and successful project, selected practices will be integrated into an existing network of Home-Centered Care Champions and be recognized as leading house call practices within Illinois. Our second cohort will include highly qualified Illinois medical practices, including independent entities, those affiliated with hospital systems, and hospice and palliative care programs looking to add or expand their home-based primary care services.
Requirements:
* Commit to a three (3) year term through 12/31/2026; estimated effort is equivalent to 15 days per year.
* Designate up to three (3) Champions to represent the practice in various project activities
* Adhere to deadlines for milestones completion and quarterly performance metrics reporting, which will be shared with and evaluated with HCCI.
*Upon selection and agreement to participate, practices will be asked to pay a one-time administrative fee of $950, due by July 1, 2024. This nominal amount will help to defray a portion of HCCI’s costs to facilitate the program over the three-year period. A limited number of scholarships are available. If your practice is unable to pay this fee, please email Karly Denes, Specialist, Outreach and Engagement, at KDenes@HCCInstitute.org when you receive notification of your acceptance and invoice.
