Care Coordination 2016-2017Abstract
Care coordination is a multidimensional concept that encompasses many facets of healthcare organization and delivery. It encompasses effective communication between patient, caregiver, and provider, and it facilitates linkages between the community and healthcare system. In this phase of work, measures submitted focused on plan of care, medication reconciliation, timely transitions, and connections to clinical care management. This report focuses on the evaluation of two newly submitted and five care coordination measures undergoing maintenance review for suitability as voluntary consensus standards.
