WA-ICA Resources & Reports
/The Washington Integrated Care Assessment (WA-ICA) was developed as a state-wide tool to measure integrated care. The new assessment tool will replace the Maine Health Access Foundation (MeHAF) assessment and various other tools used by the state and Managed Care Organizations (MCOs).
BHT sees this as an important opportunity for us to get a clearer picture of how integration is going in our region. While participation in Cohort 1 (July/Aug 2022) is encouraged but not required by HCA, BHT hopes to use this information to plan future contracting and the larger goal of more effective, equitable healthcare delivery.
We know this doesn’t align neatly with BHT contract timing, and we are approaching contracts with flexibility in order to support integration efforts. BHT expects to offer financial support for completing (pending Waiver Finance approval this month). You may also use the WA-ICA in place of the MeHAF as a P4A contract measure.
Short version of “why should I care about the WA-ICA?”: It is replacing other integration assessment tools statewide going forward, it’s more streamlined than prior tools, there will be funding from BHT for those who complete, BHT expects to use this information to plan future contracting, and it will help us see how integrated care is in our region.
