Author: Jones, J.
This report documents the Virginia Health Outcomes Partnership’s (VHOP) efforts to implement a primary care case management program to improve health outcomes for Virginia Medicaid patients. The enrollees consisted mostly of children and women of child-bearing age, and the initiative was implemented as part of Virginia Medicaid’s Medallion program. This publication provides general background information on: 1) the methods used in the disease selection process; 2) the choice of asthma as the first disease to be studied; and, 3) implementation of the intervention and research components of VHOP.
