Connected Care Toolkit – Chronic Care Management Resources for Health Care Professionals and Communities

Connected Care Toolkit offers chronic care management resources

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Office of Minority Health (CMS OMH) has issued a revised version of its Connected Care Toolkit: Chronic Care Management Resources for Health Care Professionals and Communities (PDF, 544 KB, 16 pp). The toolkit is an educational initiative to raise awareness of the benefits of chronic care management (CCM) services for Medicare beneficiaries with multiple chronic conditions. It also supports health care professionals implementing CCM programs.

The new version includes current care coordination information for rural health clinics and federally qualified health centers. It also covers how coordinated care for CCM benefits patients and practices, how to start a CCM program, billing and payment considerations, and educational tools for patients and caregivers.
