What this document is

One door into a fragmented system

The most extensive document in the set — an executive framework that integrates Veteran Directed Care (VDC), VA Community Care, Louisiana Medicaid HCBS 1915(c) waivers, and PACE with LCDC's CAPE™ model into a single statewide navigation system.

The problem it solves: veterans and caregivers face fragmented, disconnected long-term-care systems. The framework standardizes the path so families face one door, not many.

It is designed to become a board-ready white paper and a repeatable reference for the navigation team, with VI-PAR™ monitoring closing the loop.

The flagship system
The most build-ready operational system in the library — it consumes CAPE™ and the Vital Services reference and turns them into a working statewide service.
