High Value Coordination of Care
In April, the American College of Physicians (ACP) released their High Value Care Coordination Toolkit.
The ACPHigh Value Care Coordination (HVCC) Project is an effort to develop a toolkit to facilitate more effective, high value, patient-centered care coordination between primary care and subspecialty/specialty practices.
Members of SGIM's Clinical Practice Committee represented SGIM in this initiative to work with the ACP and Council of Subspecialty Societies to optimize collaboration between referring and consulting physicians. This project should strengthen SGIM's relationship with our medical specialty colleagues.
