New report: Community health plans improving care for patients with chronic illnesses
Date:11/30/2011

ntifying ways community based health plans can partner with medical practices and communities to keep patient needs front and center as well as deliver high-value care. Papers on the role of health plans in innovative primary care delivery and transitions of care will follow this first installment on care management.

"The right care and high quality benefits can yield healthier, more satisfied patients; further, enhanced care management services offer the potential of reduced costs" Smith said. "In an era of tight budgets, people think that the only way to reduce costs is to trim services, but our analysis of community based health plans providing care management finds this is not the case."
