Strengthening Care Management with Health Information Technology. Learning Guide Executive Summary.

摘要

By unleashing the power of health IT to support care management, Beacon Communities were able to expand, enhance and improve the quality of a range of care management services in order to improve care transitions and chronic disease management, and better engage patients. This Learning Guide mobilizes knowledge and lessons learned from five federally-funded communities that undertook and implemented IT-enabled care management strategies. These communities demonstrated the central role that health IT can play in strengthening care management to improve patient and population health.
