BEFORE UTILIZING THE
PLATFORM, WE WERE AT THE
MERCY OF ASSISTING VETERANS
BY GIVING THEM A LIST OF
COMMUNITY PROVIDERS.
BUILD: THE IVMF MODEL OF COORDINATED
CARE
Build
The building blocks
of our network
began in 2015. The
AmericaServes
model, created and
implemented by the
IVMF, focuses on a
unique approach
to care
coordination.
ACCENT COLORS
There are 3 defined primary accent
colors.
Use only 1 primary accent per slide
(p41-42 of the AI Style Guide).
BACKGROUND IMAGE
This layout requires an image with
strong horizontal layout (see
appropriate folders in Image Library).
Select an image that does not
compromise text legibility.
To change background to a solid color:
• Delete image
• Click Layout button in the Ribbon
• Select a different background color
for this layout
SCREENSHOT
To resize an image DO NOT stretch or
squash it. To resize AND maintain
proportions:
• Right-click image > Size and Position
• On image properties ensure Height
and Width percentages are equal.
• Check Lock aspect ratio
• Resize image. If specified final
dimensions are different than your
image, enlarge image to be larger
than the final desired size, then use
the Crop button to crop image to
desired final size (p46-49 of the AI
Style Guide for more detail).

MAIN TITLE & KEY POINT BOX
Clearly communicate the main point of
each slide.
• If a title is about us or what we do,
use the Key Point box;
• if a title is about the client or content
they would care about, that is not
about us use the Main Title. (You can
then use the Key Point box for a very
short sub-title, or delete it.)
Main Titles can be reduced to 30pt if
there is too much text in the title – to a
maximum of 3 lines.
HEADINGS & SUB-HEADS
If text in one heading (or sub-heading)
wraps over 2 lines, try to make others
on the slide in the same style also wrap
over 2 lines for consistency.
If one wraps over 3 or more lines, try to
keep others (in the same style) within 1
line (for example if the longest heading
is 4 lines, try to make others in that style
wrap over at least 3 lines, if possible)
CHEVRONS
Chevrons should be solid-filled, 85%
transparency and no outlines.
Chevrons on Ink Blue backgrounds
should have solid fill of RGB value
0,40,54 (p37 of AI Style Guide).
Chevrons on Sky Blue backgrounds
should have a solid fill of RGB value
42,108,160 (the fourth tint of Sky Blue).

The client receives the service that

the data-driven nature of the

The client receives the service
quicker than they ever had before

HEADINGS & SUB-HEADS
If text in one heading (or sub-heading)
wraps over 2 lines, try to make others
on the slide in the same style also wrap
over 2 lines for consistency.
If one wraps over 3 or more lines, try to
keep others (in the same style) within 1
line (for example if the longest heading
is 4 lines, try to make others in that style
wrap over at least 3 lines, if possible)
LINES
Connector lines as provided in this
layout should be:
• White
• 1.5pt dotted
Use Format Painter to apply this style
to new lines you create on this slide.
Other decorative lines, for example
around icons, should be:
• White 50% transparent
• 0.75pt thick
TIMELINES
On solid-color backgrounds, generally
follow a straight line.
On image backgrounds (which should
have a strong horizontal layout),
generally follow a prominent line in the
background image. To make this work,
place items along the line of the
background image, similar to what is
shown. To equally space items, in the
Ribbon, use Align > Distribute
Horizontally.
CONTENT & TEXT
Keep the amount of content per slide to
a minimum; use more than one slide –
they’re free.
Simplify amount of text per slide to the
minimum you need to speak to the main
points.
• YOU are what audiences want to see,
not slides
• Remove unnecessary words like ‘the’
and ‘a’
• Paste text into Speaker Notes
