The Chronic Care Model was developed out of a comprehensive approach to shape and guide quality improvement chronic care health services delivery. It is sometimes called the Wagner Model and is currently being used nationally and internationally. Clinicians and researchers recognized that those projects that had the greatest ongoing success worked across a number of strategies. Health care service delivery is a complex interconnected system, and successful change required that interventions worked across the system towards a common goal.
The model incorporates the basic components necessary working together to optimize the patient and primary care provider relationship:
Within the Health Care System, there are 4 basic parts:
Information systems
Decision support
Delivery system design
Self Management – personal skill development
The Health Care System is part of the Community. The Community has 3 basic roles:
To build Healthy public policy
To create supportive environments
To strengthen community action
These work together like parts of an engine. When appropriately tuned and maintained, the system can run most efficiently.
In this presentation we are specifically talking about self mgmt, but it must always be remembered that this has the greatest impact within a comprehensive strategy that considers all the components.
NB Organizational logistics and challenges
Governance – whose job is it?
Official Languages Act (French and English)
Rurality
Poverty
Illiteracy

Relatively small province
Leverage what works
Phenomenal providers
Technologically ‘committed
Evidence of the effectiveness of health coaching not only in terms of patient self-efficacy, adherence to treatment and behaviour changes but also health service utilization and health outcomes
Education, coupled with health coaching, has been found to be significantly more effective in achieving lasting behaviour change
Health coaching was particularly effective in changing chronically ill patients’ lifestyle behavior and improving their self-efficacy, physical and mental health status
Chose communities with champions, wellness initaitives that we could leverage

Health Coach provides self management support and develops a collaborative and personalized plan focusing on improving health and wellness
Builds on the individual’s capacity to achieve short and long term health goals
Coaches guide, motivate and provide customized resources to help achieve client’s goals; they do not diagnose, prescribe, give advice or “fix”
Coaches are the bridge that move clients from the skills learned in programs to sustainable behavior change
Based on the UK Model
The Health Coach becomes an expert in their community resources and are developing a toolbox of regional community resources and credible wellness information. They will leverage existing wellness intiatives and resources and connect their clients when appropriate.
When signposting a client you are likely not to have undertaken any significant work on the
specific query you are signposting, whereas with referral it is likely that you will have
started to work with the client on the query but for some reason can no longer continue. With signposting you may or may not continuing working with the client
Some clients may come to the Health Coach and simply require signposting to one of these sources, while others will spend time working with the health coach to develop an action plan, goals and working to overcome barriers.
Credible Resources – eat tracker, Dietitians of Canada,
Community – walking clubs, fitness classes, introduce them to activities, gyms,
Primary Health Care – keep track of Care Team, prep for a meeting with an RD, foot care, encourage seeing Mental health help, etc.
