Collaborative care is a new kind of care model which aims to increase cooperation between a patient’s multiple care providers. The benefits of this new care model are numerous:
Improved care quality.
When a patient’s care providers communicate more effectively, the result is a more coordinated care strategy providing improved patient outcomes.
Reduced cost
With improved communication and data sharing between providers, waste and redundant spending is reduced.
Increased convenience
In collaborative care models, providers share information more effectively and in some cases occupy the same location, increasing convenience to the patient.
