VI.   On January 27th   Bill Molmen General Counsel and co-founder of the Integrated Benefits Institute (IBI) referenced a paper that made a compelling statement that although not originally intended to so, provided good research findings for the need to have care coordination, which is one of the Joint Principles of PCPCC. 

“We would expect that the greater the number of condition clusters in which an employee falls, the greater the challenges in care coordination. Rather than having two conditions that might be treated within the same specialty (depression and anxiety as socio-emotional conditions, for example), individuals spanning clusters (e.g., hypertension and depression) will require increased care coordination to ensure that any prescribed medical and pharmacy treatments as well as disability management and return-to-work programs work in concert rather than at odds. As the number and types of conditions increase, the scrutiny and resources required of employers and their health and disability partners also increases if health-related lost time is to be managed well.”
The paper is attached.
