“The Southcentral Foundation’s Nuka System of Care in Alaska serves as an inspiring model to inform what is possible as we approach transformation of our healthcare system in the Yukon. By placing Alaska Native people at the center as ‘customer-owners,’ this system demonstrates the power of self-determination in health care. Let us learn from their vision, mission, and operational principles to prioritize physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness in reimagining healthcare in the Yukon.”

Pauline Frost, Chair Chiefs Committee on Health

PLAYBOOKS

Southcentral Foundation was one of the first organizations to implement integrated primary care (also known as team-based or multidisciplinary care), pioneering its Integrated Care Teams (ICTs) as part of the rollout of the relationship-based Nuka System of Care in the late 1990s.

Now, in order to support sustainability of our own transformation, as well as to help other health care organizations implement and improve integrated care teams, SCF has created the Integrated Care Teams Playbook and the Behavioral Health Integration Playbook, which are based on SCF’s experiences and lessons learned in implementing these systems. The playbooks are organized using SCF’s READI model, which SCF uses in other areas, including improvement and innovation, and consulting with outside organizations
