Description/Abstract
With the support of the New Mexico State Legislature, the D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) led a multi-phase project to design a coordinated care system for New Mexican service members, veterans, and their families. In the project’s first phase, the IVMF conducted a landscape assessment to understand the needs of the military-connected community and examined the viability of a coordinated care system for the state. Key findings included strong support for coordinated care amongst veteran serving organizations, a fragmented service landscape across the state, structural barriers to care caused by rurality and geographic concentrations of resources, and the existence of informal collaboration between veteran serving organizations. Participants felt that a coordinated care network would be of value to New Mexico veterans, but questions on how best to implement such a network remained. The insights from this report informed the second phase of the project where a programmatic roadmap for coordinated care network implementation would be developed with insights from veteran serving organizations across the state.
