PHILADELPHIA, July 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Independence Blue Cross (Independence) announced today that it has awarded six Clinical Care Innovation Grants (CCI Grants) to local health systems to support projects aimed at improving the quality and delivery of health care. The health systems receiving grants include Jefferson Health, Temple Health, Penn Medicine, and Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic.
“We are committed to investing in our community and are always looking for ways to improve the care our members receive,” said Rodrigo Cerdá, MD, MPH, senior vice president of Health Services and chief medical officer at Independence. “Supporting these grants is just one way that we work collaboratively with our excellent network of health care providers. This engaging and dynamic work we do with them helps to ensure our members receive the highest quality care and the best experience, at the most affordable cost. We’re excited to see how the work these grants support will continue to improve the health of our community.”
The six projects awarded grants include:
This is the second year Independence has awarded CCI Grants, and already there are positive results being reported. For example, Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic’s primary care model Achieving Lasting Improvements Via Engagement is making progress with patient engagement to control chronic kidney disease. Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic’s model has shown that in patients who received nutritionist consultation, there was a significant decrease in body mass index (BMI) when they had at least two measurements. The decrease was due to better nutrition, exercise, medication management, and education about their disease. Patients who did not have a decrease in BMI were counseled.
Health systems and large specialty groups in the Independence network that are currently enrolled in a value-based care program are eligible to participate in the CCI Grants process. Each entity is permitted up to three submissions a year. For more information, visit the CCI Grants website on ibx.com.
