Patient-Centered Coordinated Care Program

Program Goals

In support of The Commonwealth Fund’s efforts to promote delivery system improvement and innovation, the Program on Patient-Centered Coordinated Care sponsors activities aimed at improving the quality of primary health care in the United States, including efforts to make care more centered around the needs and preferences of patients and their families. To achieve this mission, the program makes grants to:

• strengthen primary care by promoting the collection and dissemination of information on patients’ health care experiences and on physician office systems and practices that are associated with high-quality, patient-centered care
• assist primary care practices with the adoption of practices, models, and tools that can help them both become more patient-centered and coordinate more closely with hospitals, specialists, and other public and private health care providers in their communities
• inform the development of policies to encourage patient- and family-centered care in medical homes.
