The goal of the Community Health Transformation Platform (CHT) was to develop a program that was able to better care for a community while adhering to the Institute for Healthcare Improvements’ Triple Aim: Improved Health Outcomes, Improved Experience, and Decreased Cost.
Multiple outreach efforts based in Dodge County, Minnesota, aimed to include community resources in the research and design for the Kasson Family Medicine Clinic. A full year was spent in Dodge County understanding the needs of individuals and the optimal role of healthcare to meet those needs. Experimentation involving more than 2,000 patient visits sought to understand care team best practices and the ability of the Mayo Model of Care to respond to changes in reimbursement and market forces.
