The 2023 CIE Virtual Summit theme, “Community Care Coordination Models in Action,” celebrates the equity-driven, innovative approaches, and lessons learned from building, implementing and running community-led care coordination efforts. Communities across the country have transformed traditional resource referral models into community-led care coordination models, creating ecosystems that help to proactively address individual and community needs, as well as identify systemic barriers. This work requires critical discussions, an equity mindset, and intentional planning. We will all benefit and support each other by sharing our journeys, including our breakthroughs, failures, and everything in between.
During the 2023 CIE Virtual Summit, attendees will come together to celebrate, share and learn innovative approaches, strategies, lessons learned, and models that can be readily applied in communities planning or actively implementing a community-led care coordination effort. Over the course of two days, attendees will participate in 60-minute breakout sessions spread across four Summit tracks.
The following sections define each Summit track and provide potential submission topics for each. Please note the list of potential topics is not exhaustive and we encourage you to submit additional ideas for consideration.
211s and United Ways serve a unique role in facilitating care coordination. Sessions in this track will examine the benefits of engaging or building on existing local 211s and United Ways in multisector data sharing initiatives. Presentations will reflect on direct practice and approaches to supporting community infrastructure as well as use cases for leveraging 211 data.
Potential topics could include:
Leveraging 211 Resource Directory and Closed Loop Referrals;
Using 211 data to support community care coordination;
Direct practice and approaches to supporting community care infrastructure; or
Defining roles for a local 211 or United Way within CIE.
Multiple essential components contribute to the technical infrastructure of community-led care coordination models, ranging from data integration from various sources to systems interoperability and data-informed systems change interventions. Sessions in this track will explore current models and highlight what is possible with respect to data integration and technical platform functionality.
Potential topics could include:
Utilizing a human-centered design approach for guiding technological infrastructure;
Articulating technical and design needs for platform and search customization;
RFP considerations for designing and building a CIE;
Leveraging insights from data analysis for systems change;
Data sharing approaches around informed, ethical consent and identity management; and
Security of information and role-based permissions.
Shared governance refers to the inclusive and collaborative input and guidance of policies, processes and decision-making that guide an institution. Sessions in this track will focus on topics such as successful shared governance models, strategies for multi-stakeholder engagement, backbone organizational structures and sustainability models. Presenters will also reflect on how to work towards a truly equitable shared governance model.
Potential topics could include:
Strategies for multi-stakeholder engagement;
Backbone organizational structures and sustainability models;
Executing a shared governance model; and
Vision and considerations for operationalizing sustainability and funding.
Coordination and collaboration among community members and the sectors that serve them (healthcare, social services, government, for-profit, etc.) is key to ensuring more equitable access, often facilitated through technology. But how can communities make that happen? These sessions will provide “how to” guides and examples for building trust in the community, defining use cases, onboarding network partners, developing and utilizing success measures, and more.
Potential topics could include:
Partner engagement and onboarding workflows
Affinity and cohort use cases
Approaches for measuring successful stakeholder engagement
Building trust
Defining use cases
Approaches to stakeholder buy-in and organizational investment
Aligning initiatives to address collective needs and measuring outcomes
We invite community-led care coordination initiatives to submit a proposal for consideration for the 2023 CIE Virtual Summit. Proposals should address an innovative approach, strategy, lesson learned, or model that can be readily shared with communities planning or actively implementing a community-led care coordination effort. We strongly encourage proposals to include diverse perspectives and incorporate community voice.

The proposal includes subject matter experts from historically underrepresented groups across racial/ethnic, sexual orientation, gender, religious, socioeconomic, and/or geographic lines.
Practical Application: The proposed session describes lessons learned of a tested strategy or approach and offers audience members insight into how to adapt the strategy for their local efforts and/or bigger considerations regarding impact on the practice of community-led care coordination.
*Note: We welcome stories of what worked, what didn’t work, and, for discussion and consideration, what needs to change from a systems and policy perspective. Consider the following questions:
What was helpful about your strategy or approach?
What aspects made your strategy or approach difficult to plan or implement?
How have you measured/seen success?
What are big challenges/barriers that remain?
Moving forward, what are key recommendations to work towards policy or systems change that would benefit underserved populations?
