Bridging the silos of service delivery for high-need, high-cost individuals.
This study examined 5 innovative community-oriented programs that are successfully coordinating medical and nonmedical services to identify factors that stimulate and sustain community-level collaboration and coordinated care across silos of health care, public health, and social services delivery. The authors constructed a conceptual framework depicting community health systems that highlights 4 foundational factors that facilitate community-oriented collaboration.

Communication and shared understanding between parents and resident-physicians at night.
The researchers studied communication breakdowns evidenced by lack of shared understanding between parents and night-team residents about the reason for admission and care plan. After conducting a prospective cohort study of 286 parents and 37 night-team senior residents, they found that parents and residents reported that they shared an understanding with one another about care plans in 86.0percent and 73.1 percent of cases, respectively.

Contributions of relational coordination to care management in accountable care organizations: views of managerial and clinical leaders.
The researchers identified the extent to which accountable care organization (ACO) leaders are aware of the dimensions of relational coordination and the ways these leaders believe the dimensions influenced care management practices in their organization. They found that ACO leaders mentioned four relational coordination dimensions: shared goals, frequency of communication, timeliness of communication, and problem solving communication. Their analysis identified ways leaders believed the four dimensions contributed to the development of care management, including contributions to standardization of care, patient engagement, coordination of care, and care planning.

Facilitators and barriers to care coordination in patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs) from coordinators' perspectives.
This is the first study describing experiences of care coordinators across the US from their own perspectives. It concluded that while all the barriers and facilitators were important to performing coordinators' roles, relationship building was key to effective care coordination, whether with clinicians, patients, or outside organizations.
