8:00	Creating a Whole Person Care Framework: Transforming Systems and Transitioning to the Next Generation of Managed Care that Supports Whole Person Health The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) defines whole person health as a person-centered, integrated approach to health care that focuses on health creation and well-being by incorporating patients’ goals into their health care. Furthermore, whole health CARE is a care model that addresses the social and structural determinants at the root of poor health, focusing on the priorities and goals of people, families, and communities. Whole health care centers on promoting resilience, preventing disease, and restoring health. Dr. Hayashi will discuss the framework created by NASEM and highlight examples of how this model is implemented at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield.

This is best supported in the member’s home or other living arrangement, such as a homeless shelter. Mercy Flight’s MIH team is able to provide individualized care, focused on supporting the whole-person through integrated, team-based care. Mercy Flights is able to provide a robust inter-disciplinary team approach to providing care post-hospitalization through chronic health conditions education, home visit & medication reconciliation. This provides opportunities for members to feel confident about managing their health and well-being. This intervention decreases re-admission risk significantly.
