Abstract

Highlights:

  • Value-based payment is leading to enhanced care coordination staffing.
  • Sites are task shifting low-complexity care coordination to unlicensed staff.
  • Important care coordination education gaps necessitate in-depth on-the-job training.
  • Demonstrating the return on investment of care coordination staffing remains a challenge.
