"The 'meaningful use' Electronic Health Record incentive program offers an immediate opportunity to advance the technological foundation for care plans, and the process of care (and ultimately wellness) planning. The HIT Policy Committee is currently considering objectives for Stage 3 of meaningful use. The following set of overarching principles is a consumer-directed starting place for building the concept of a “care plan” into health IT (with detail listed [in article])."

MN utilized $45mil to task a State Innovation Model (SIM) starting in 2013. The money was granted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

The Minnesota Accountable Health Model sought to expand patient-centered, team-based care through service delivery and payment models that support integration of medical care, behavioral health, long-term care and community prevention services. Accomplished by building on Minnesota's current Integrated Health Partnership (IHP) demonstration, the model used IHPs to adopt Accountable Care Organization (ACO) style contracts with providers to better coordinate care. Minnesota Accountable Health Model activities also built on a strong foundation of service delivery and payment reform models in Minnesota that support secure exchange of clinical data across settings, a system of statewide quality reporting and measurement for healthcare providers, and strong systems for coordinated care through the multi-payer Health Care Home and evolving Behavioral Health Home initiatives.

Goals accomplished by July 2017

• 465,000 Minnesotans receive care through a Medicaid accountable care organization.

• 88 percent of organizations can engage in health information exchange.

• Integrated Health Partnerships surpassed the cost savings goal of $100 million, and as of 2016, have reached a cost savings of $212.8 million.

• 15 Accountable Communities for Health were established by 2015.

• 57 percent of providers are health care home or behavioral health home certified.

"The ability of CDSS to reduce health disparities is understudied, and several researchers have suggested that further work is needed to directly examine this issue. Some have

noted that providers working with underserved communities typically lag behind in the uptake of electronic health records (EHRs) and CDSS, and evidence exists that CDSS leads to successful health outcomes when used in underserved communities.3,4 Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that CDSS has the potential to eliminate barriers and reduce disparities in hypertension-related care."
