Coordinating care improves health outcomes while controlling costs1

This indicator tracks the percent of patients whose doctors' office helps coordinate care with other providers and services. Moving the system toward integrated and coordinated care allows patients to receive care in the most appropriate setting, reduces duplication, and enhances quality.2
