Coordination of care has become one of ways medical organizations have attempted to improve patient care. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the main goal of care coordination “is to meet patients’ needs and preferences in the delivery of high-quality, high-value health care.” From the broad perspective, this involves the following:
- Teamwork
- Care management
- Medication management
- Health information technology
- Patient-centered medical home
As a multi-specialty organization that received the highest level of Patient Centered Medical Home Recognition by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), The Corvallis Clinic places care coordination as a core value.
