From Fragmented Care to Designed Healing

The Community Integration Blueprint™
is our proprietary systems-change engagement for operationalizing
whole-person, community-connected care.

A 90-day systems-change engagement to help cancer programs and health systems align with community partners, strengthen navigation infrastructure, and turn community need into measurable action. It’s the connective tissue that determines whether patients actually get what they need after they leave the exam room.

Why This Matters

Cancer programs and health systems are under increasing pressure to show that navigation, referral workflows, and community partnerships improve access, trust, adherence, and measurable outcomes. The right infrastructure can support Commission on Cancer navigation expectations, improve closed-loop referrals, strengthen population-level metrics, and help teams meet value-based care and quality goals.

This pilot is designed to help organizations move from fragmented effort to a coordinated model that is visible, measurable, and sustainable.

In practice, that can help you:

  • Support CoC navigation and barrier-reduction expectations.

  • Create or strengthen closed-loop referral systems.

  • Improve tracking of unmet needs and referral completion.

  • Build population-level metrics for performance and planning.

  • Improve adherence, trust, and continuity of care.

  • Support value-based care and quality improvement goals.

What the Pilot Does

This is a structured engagement that helps you understand what is happening in your community, where barriers are showing up, which partners need to be involved, and what should happen first.

It combines assessment, stakeholder alignment, shared metrics, and action planning to help your organization move from awareness to execution.

What’s Included

1. Current-state assessment

We identify barriers, assets, existing efforts, and the biggest opportunities across clinical and community settings.

2. Stakeholder alignment

We convene the right partners to clarify roles, ownership, and shared priorities.

3. Shared goals and metrics

We help define what success looks like and what should be measured over time.

4. Action planning

We create a practical short-list of priorities and next steps that can be implemented.

5. Funding or implementation brief

We translate the findings into a concise brief that can support internal decision-making, external funding, or policy conversations.

Who it is For

This pilot is a fit for:

  • Health systems with community benefit, quality, or equity goals.

  • Cancer centers.

  • Community oncology practices.

  • Local and regional coalitions.

  • Public sector partners.

  • Foundations funding access or health equity work.

What this Supports Operationally

This pilot is especially useful when you need to:

  • Improve navigation infrastructure.

  • Close referral loops between care settings and community resources.

  • Make community needs visible in a way leaders can act on.

  • Build a stronger case for staffing, partnerships, or investment.

  • Connect community work to measurable performance and reporting.

The goal is to create a real operating system around the problem, not just a list of good intentions.

FAQs

  • No. The pilot may include a workshop, but it is a broader systems-change engagement with assessment, alignment, and action planning.

  • Yes. The work is designed to help organizations build the infrastructure and metrics that support navigation, coordination, and performance expectations.

  • Not necessarily. We can start with what you have and identify what needs to be built or improved.

  • Many clients move into advisory support or a second-phase implementation engagement.
