Care Coordination Toolkit

This toolkit, developed as an accompanying document to the Linking and Aligning Care Coordination Plan, is primarily intended for care coordinators and providers of services who are beginning to build, or want to evaluate their capacity to provide care coordination. Thus, the toolkit is designed to be used as a comprehensive resource guide when working directly with families in a variety of settings across Colorado. However, families/consumers can use this toolkit as a guide for developing expectations about their care and as an advocacy tool when interacting with their care coordinators or health care providers. Systems-level agencies can also use this toolkit as a document to make policy and programmatic decisions based on the included recommendations.  Toolkit   |   Plan
