The Woods System of Care

Woods Services has been building The Woods System of Care to address significant shortcomings in the provision of services and supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across the United States that are often fragmented.  There is no system through which someone can seamlessly access the different supports needed at the different stages of life.  Often, children end up in inappropriate settings including long-term hospitalizations, they age out of placements with nowhere to go nor anyone to guide them, among many other unacceptable outcomes.

Woods System of Care is a population-health management organization that through its network of providers in PA and NJ provides life cycle care to meet the lifelong needs of 22,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities, acquired brain injuries and /or mental health challenges who may also have complex medical and genetic conditions.  Through the Woods System of Care, 6,000 compassionate and well-trained staff support individuals, and their families and caregivers, to have personal control and choice over all aspects of their lives so that they may live lives of meaning and joy.

 

 

Woods continues to uphold Mollie Woods Hare’s mission of 110+ years ago, by ensuring an individualized plan, created by the person served and their family, drives the outcomes for each individual.  Woods’ patient-centered care model, which was the foundation for Mollie’s model of care, is based upon ensuring each individual‘s needs are met that correspond to the social determinants of health:

 

  • healthcare access and quality
  • education access and quality
  • economic stability
  • food stability
  • social, safety and community context
  • housing and physical environment.

 

Although Woods serves people from around the country, its geographic concentration through its network of affiliates allows for better care coordination and intensity of services along a continuum that people can access episodically and throughout the lifespan.

 

The Medical Center at Woods is the foundation for the Woods System of Care integrated model.  It provides coordinated primary health care, psychiatry, behavioral health, neurology, optometry/ophthalmology, podiatry, radiology, dentistry and telemedicine.

 

The integrated care model is part of an overall population health management approach at Woods that is reliant on industry best practices, moving the industry forward with new solutions, and providing the Woods community with superior care and support.  The approach includes understanding the impact of the social determinants of health, and focuses on a Care for the Whole Person Model that includes integration of physical and behavioral health, and keeps an individual’s entire team focused on these factors.

 

Our integrated healthcare model is being replicated in Chester County and throughout New Jersey.  We are significantly expanding services through health care and university partnerships that are providing people with intellectual and developmental disabilities with needed services in close proximity to their homes.

 

The Woods model combines the similar but separate concepts of patient-centered care and the social determinates of health, as shown below
