Problem Addressed:
Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are a complex population that could benefit from improved care coordination across health and social sectors, as they experience poorer health and have higher rates of emergency department use and hospitalization due to ambulatory care-sensitive conditions.
Objective Of Program:
To pilot a novel, enhanced model of care coordination for complex patients with IDD.
Program Description:
Health Links is a provincial care-coordination program for patients with complex health care needs. This pilot program adapted Health Links to include a guide and training specific to adults with IDD to ensure that these patients' needs were met and high-quality, efficient care was provided.
Conclusion:
A tailored care-coordination approach for adults with IDD was able to identify complex patients in need and successfully bridge cross-sectoral care.
