Modern Healthcare gives an update on care coordination (aka navigation). It reports:
”A growing number of health systems, accountable care organizations and medical home-style practices are deploying care coordinators—which some call navigators. Health systems that have invested in care-coordination staffers include Bon Secours Health System, Summa Health System, Mercy Health Select, Partners HealthCare, Advocate Healthcare, Banner Health and the University of Michigan Health System. That is changing how patients get care and it’s changing the jobs of doctors, nurses and other front-line providers.”
