In keeping with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care of Ontario Excellent Care for All strategy, ICCP was established to work collaboratively with partners and stakeholders to develop and assess a model that encourages true integration across the entire breadth of the health care continuum.
ICCP is a multi-year initiative that involves developing, implementing, and evaluating CCAC sites to plan the transition to a more integrated client care model, including payment for specific outcomes.
With the aid of clinical best practices and quality improvment initiatives, outcome-based approaches to managing care are intended to foster greater accountability, encourage top performance as well as the pursuit of innovation within the care delivery team, all with the aim of improving the value of care for both the client and health care system.
Co-sponsored by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Health Quality Ontario, Ontario's Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs), the Ontario Association of Community Care Access Centres, and the Collaborative for Health Sector Strategy at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, the goal of the Project is to move toward a model of care that delivers the greatest value for the money spent and is focused on improving health outcomes for clients. Based on Harvard Professor Michael Porter’s work, the three main principles for achieving value-based care are:
- Specialization
- Integration
- Coordination
These principles will be tested in early implementation sites throughout the province.
Watch Professor Michael Porter's June 2009 public lecture at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto:
"Value-Based Health Care Delivery"
As ICCP work progresses, linkages with other key provincial initiatives and strategies such as Aging at Home, ALC/ER wait time, Chronic Disease Prevention Management, Palliative Care policy review, e-technology initiatives and others will be crucial as all partners commit to sharing responsibility for change.

The ICCP model is a population based approach to care delivery, focusing first on wound clients, then palliative clients, and subsequently including medically complex children and frail seniors (seniors 75+ years old with 2 or more medical conditions).
