Blueprint Integrated Pilots Plan for statewide expansion BP Integrated Pilot Experience Continuous Quality Improvement Use experience from Integrated Pilot program to refine & target BP Community grants. Build capacity & readiness for more complete healthcare reform. BP Community Experience Continuous Quality Improvement Transform from BP Community to Integrated Pilot Community, and/or, expand existing Integrated Pilot to include more Blueprint practices in a community Shift BP Grant to new community or expand across a community

Build a model for effective and sustainable healthcare reform  Multi payer financial reform (from volume to quality)  Healthcare environment (PCMH, CCTs, PH specialists, Health IT)  Healthcare focus (from sick care to wellness / prevention)  Healthcare culture (evidence based QI) Blueprint Integrated Pilots Building a Scalable Model
