Monroe Plan & ViaHealth Partnership: 2001-2004
The Monroe Plan and ViaHealth Partnership Program received a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation under the Improving Asthma Care for Children program to design and implement a creative approach to addressing improved asthma care management. The Rochester, New York-based plans targeted high-risk children enrolled in Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP) under managed care. The initiative sought to improve the health and health-related quality of life for children with asthma, to develop and sustain partnerships with key community stakeholders, and to institutionalize innovative clinical models in asthma care. This final narrative report outlines the experiences of the Monroe Plan in designing, implementing, and evaluating a sustainable approach to improving asthma care management in the Rochester community.
