Lessons Learned to date:
• Starting with “sickest” patient not the ideal target group
• Home visit design – learning curve
• External Working Group – major support to program initially
• Internal IT involvement – absolutely required to achieve program efficiencies
• Hospital model works – discharge planners a significant source of referrals
• Engagement role – required and critical to ongoing referral process
