Complex care programs may be housed in many settings, ranging from healthcare clinics and health plans to community-based organizations and social service agencies. Because of the broad set of stakeholders who are providing complex care, there is risk of duplicating and siloing efforts, which may stymie progress. Knowing this, three organizations—the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers’ National Center for Complex Health and Social Needs, the Center for Health Care Strategies, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement—came together to create the Blueprint for Complex Care, a guide for advancing the field of complex care. We gathered diverse, far-reaching perspectives through reviews of published literature, interviews, surveys, and an expert convening to develop a comprehensive understanding of the current state of complex care, and to shape our recommendations for strengthening the field.
