PACE 2.0 Learning Collaborative Doubles Net Monthly Enrollment
Under the PACE 2.0 initiative, with the support of The John A. Hartford Foundation, West Health, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the National PACE Association (NPA) launched the West Coast Learning Collaborative in October 2018 as a 12-month collaborative to pilot and refine the PACE 2.0 Growth Model. The growth model outlines a collection of strategies and tactics to help PACE organizations grow exponentially and increase the number of elderly people with complex care needs that PACE serves.
The West Coast Learning Collaborative includes 10 PACE organizations, which set the group aim of reaching an average net monthly enrollment (gross enrollments less all disenrollments) of 15 and growing to serve an additional 1,867 participants over the course of a year.
Leveraging the IHI Breakthrough Series methodology, which includes each organization conducting rapid-cycle, small-scale tactic tests called PDSAs, and the PACE 2.0 Growth Model, the collaborative was able to more than double their average net enrollment from a baseline of eight per month to 17. Based on the continued work and strides of its members in increasing enrollment, the group is poised to achieve its census aim by early 2020.
With the assistance of the West Coast Learning Collaborative members, NPA is finalizing a PACE 2.0 Exponential Growth Implementation Guide that will include an updated and more detailed PACE 2.0 Growth Model and additional guidance on utilizing the model. In January, the guide will be shared through the PACE 2.0 Growth and Learning e-Community. PACE organizations can join the e-community by completing this brief form, which asks you to provide your contact information and share the 2021 growth aim for your organization. To see if your organization is already a member of the e-community and has shared its growth aim, view the member list.
NPA thanks the PACE organizations that have shared their PACE 2.0 2021 growth aims. We look forward to working with you to help implement strategies that will support you in growing to serve more of the frail elderly residents in your communities.
