A quasi-experiment assessing the six-months effects of a nurse care coordination program on patient care experiences and clinician teamwork in community health centers.
The authors assessed effects of adding care coordination formally to nurses’ roles on care experiences of high-risk patients and clinician teamwork during the first 6 months of use. They conducted a quasi-experimental study in which changes in staff and patient experiences at six community health center practice locations that introduced the added-role approach for high-risk patients were compared to changes in six locations without the program in the same health system. They found that there were some positive effects of adding care coordination to nurses' role within 6 months of implementation, suggesting value in this improvement strategy. They concluded that addressing compatibility between coordination and other job demands is important when implementing this approach to coordination.

Collaborative care for depression symptoms in an outpatient cardiology setting: a randomized clinical trial.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether collaborative care (CC) for patients who screen positive for depression during an outpatient cardiology visit results in greater improvement in depression symptoms and better medical outcomes than seen in patients who screen positive for depression but receive only usual care (UC). Tthis trial did not show that CC produces better depression outcomes than UC.
