Care coordination has been recognized as a priority area for improving health care delivery in the U.S. Robust measures of care coordination processes will be essential tools to evaluate, guide, and support efforts to understand and improve deficits in care coordination.

This report presents an assessment of the potential for measuring care coordination processes using data from electronic data sources, in particular from existing and emerging health information technology (IT) systems such as electronic health records (EHR), health information exchanges (HIE), and all-payer claims databases (APCD).

This report was prepared by the Stanford University Center for Primary Care and Outcomes Research for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
