Care Coordination SC

    Improving Transitions of Care (SC)

Efficient and effective care coordination means that necessary health care services are delivered in the right order, at the right time, and in the right setting. These efforts lead to lower costs, better outcomes, and increased patient satisfaction.

The Carolinas Center for Medical Excellence is a member of the Atlantic Quality Innovation Network (AQIN). The South Carolina AQIN team is recruiting Community Care Coalitions – hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health/hospice agencies, social service organizations, primary care providers, patients, caregivers, and other state and regional level stakeholders – to work together to identify and provide a quality improvement focus on special populations affected by poor care coordination. These special populations include Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries that fall within one of the following sub-groups

• Eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid
• Multiple chronic conditions
• Behavioral health issues, such as depression
• Alzheimer’s and dementia
• Lower socioeconomic status and other social determinants of health risk

Community Care Coalition Goals

• Reduce hospital readmission rates in the Medicare population by 20% by July 31. 2019.
• Increase community tenure by 10 % (more nights spent at home for Medicare FFS beneficiaries)

Next Step for Interested Providers/Partners

If you are interested in participating in Community Care Coalitions or if you have any questions, please contact Sarah Banyai at sbanyai@thecarolinascenter.org or 803.212.7521.
