How It Works
The CISAMN SYSTEMS LOOP converts existing resources into completed connections.
Minnesota-first. Metro now; designed to scale to Greater Minnesota next.
Map
mapFind the right entry points and routes.
Identify the fastest safe path through institutions (where to start, what to avoid, what to bring). Turn "the system" into a small set of workable routes.
- Map: clarify the path, entry points, and constraints.
- Script: agree on a simple, plain-language plan.
- Attempt: take the next concrete step together.
- Follow up: confirm completion within a defined window.
- Escalate safely: remove one barrier without creating risk.
- Log/Learn: record friction and outcomes for system improvement.
- Close the loop: confirm what changed, who owns it, and why.
This sequence is taught to residents and adopted by partners.
How accompaniment works inside the loop
Accompaniment is the service layer that keeps the Systems Loop coherent for a member. It does not replace warm handoffs, Step 3, friction learning, or language access. It organizes them so there is one reliable thread from direction-setting through closure.
Define direction
Start with what matters now, choose a short goal, and make sure the next step is plain enough to act on.
Organize the right support
Bring in the right people for the specific step: navigator, partner staff, interpreter, expert, peer, or family support when appropriate.
Close loops, not just referrals
Use warm handoffs, Step 3 completion checks, friction logging, and closure discipline so interruption becomes replanning instead of abandonment.
