What is care coordination? It's making sure the referral loop is closed more than a third of the time. It's central to our health plans' work in #valuebasedcare. #carecoordination https://t.co/LKBMyGPYJi

Only 35% of specialty referrals were documented as “complete” in a large system. Closing referral loops is a #patientsafety imperative and other systems likely face similar challenges. #populationhealth @DukeMedSchool @DukeU https://t.co/klHGGFgqwJ
