Welcome to MNCARES!  A Study to Inform Care Coordination Strategies // Recorded 04/14/2021

In 2020, HealthPartners Institute, in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Health and MN Community Measurement, was awarded funding from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to study the effect of care coordination on patient outcomes. The purpose of MNCARES is to compare two approaches to care coordination for patients with complex health and social issues. The first model includes care coordination performed by a nurse or other clinical staff. The second model includes a social worker as part of the care team. Using health care data, surveys, and interviews the study will help to discover what approaches to care coordination in primary care settings produce the best care quality, utilization, and patient-centered outcomes.   This webinar highlights progress made in preparation for the official launch of the study activities in spring of 2021, and discusses how Minnesota Health Care Home Clinics, health plans, and patients will be engaged with the study.
