View Details ►Our healthcare system has become more and more impersonal, and reaching someone on the other end of the phone who can help navigate through larger and larger hospital healthcare systems can be daunting. This is a result of major changes that the healthcare system has undergone over the last 20 years. Large hospital and healthcare systems have responded to insurance reform and revenue uncertainty by growing quickly through the acquisition of smaller hospitals and community practices. So, who is there to coordinate care?
Coordinated care teams can help heal the ailing doctor-patient relationship. ECHO Colorado is offering its sixth cohort of Team-Based Care Coordination: Understand, Communicate, and Work At the Top of Your Scope. This ECHO series helps learners improve the health and quality of care for patients with chronic disease by providing care coordinators with foundational knowledge and practice opportunities for prevention and management strategies. Offered in partnership with the Patient Navigator Training Collaborative, the Rocky Mountain Public Health Training Center and Care Coordination Central, the free. four-week session is for licensed and non-licensed care coordinators who have a desire to maximize their contribution to team-based care.
