The Indiana Chronic Disease Management Program (ICDMP) was developed through a joint effort between the Indiana Office of Medicaid Policy & Planning and the Indiana State Department of Health and implemented in June 2003. The program deals with Diabetes, Asthma, Congestive Heart Failure Stroke, AIDS and HIV cases. The goals of the ICDMP: • Build a sustainable comprehensive, locally based infrastructure • Strengthen the existing public health infrastructure • Help improve quality of health care for patients with chronic diseases. The ICDMP focuses on developing linkages between care management and primary care by providing health care providers with tools to better manage chronic care and patients with self-management tools to be more active participants in their health care. The program has the following components: • Call Center for all patients • Nurse Care Management for high risk patients • Collaborative Training for primary care practices • Patient Registry for all patients The ICDMP is a statewide program and includes Medicaid recipients in both primary care case management and risk based managed care.
