Community Care of North Carolina (CCNC) is an EPCCM program built on the tenets of the medical home model. It includes core care management elements such as risk assessment, emergency room utilization review, disease specific case management, and pharmaceutical management. These care management strategies are delivered through 14 participating Community Care Networks, which consist of more than 3,000 physicians and numerous community support services. North Carolina is also piloting a Chronic Care Project for its highest-risk, highest-cost ABD/SSI beneficiaries with complex needs. The pilot program uses nine of the 14 Community Care Networks to provide enhanced medical home services (e.g., intense case management and interdisciplinary care plans) through the use of care coordinators. This program uses software that providers use to access diagnosis and utilization data. Stakeholders including case managers, Community Care Networks, and providers can use the data to identify enrollees for targeted care management, track interventions, assess adherence to evidence-based guidelines, and review clinical outcomes and changes in utilization patterns.
