Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Integrated Outpatient Care Model
    methodology: integrated_outpatient_care
    By co-locating primary and specialty care services in centralized outpatient facilities, the organization improves care coordination and patient experience because integrated access reduces fragmentation and supports person-centered treatment across the continuum of care.
  • Person-Centered, Coordinated Care Delivery
    methodology: patient-centered_medical_home

  • Preventive and Early Detection Care Strategy
