New Evaluation Highlight on Care Coordinators

New Evaluation Highlight on Care Coordinators

CHIPRA Evaluation Highlight No. 9 Now Available The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has published the ninth Evaluation Highlight from the CMS-funded CHIPRA Quality Demonstration Grant Program, now available on the national evaluation Web site under What We Learned. This Highlight focuses on how six States—Alaska, Idaho, Massachusetts, Oregon, Utah, and West Virginia—are using grant funds to support the use of care coordinators as practices implement patient-centered medical home models. The experiences of the six featured States may be helpful to other States that are seeking to use care coordinators as an integral part of their strategy for achieving the functions of care coordination in primary care practices serving children and adolescents.
