When patients are diagnosed with a chronic disease, health professionals often provide initial health education and have little capacity for further support. Ongoing support and reinforcement of self-care skills can be provided by community-based resources including evidence-based self-management workshops. This webinar will discuss the process of patient referral to self-management programs as an important element of care coordination which can improve patient satisfaction, engagement, and health outcomes, and will discuss ways to integrate referrals into clinic workflow.
At the conclusion of this event, participants will be able to:
- Articulate the need for care coordination and formal referral management.
- Explain how care coordination fits into the larger cope of healthcare transformation efforts.
- Design a complete workflow for referral in their own healthcare setting.
