Scoping Brief: Care Coordination Theoretical Models and Frameworks

The ESP Coordinating Center (ESP CC) is responding to a request from the VHA Health Services Research and Development (HSR&D) and the VHA Office of Community Care (OCC) for an Evidence Compendium on care coordination theoretical models and conceptual frameworks that (1) identifies new models/frameworks published since the most recent systematic review in 2010, and provides (2) structured data abstraction on key components of each model/framework in a sortable format, (3) a very brief descriptive summary of key components across models/frameworks, and (4) an annotated bibliography. Findings from this Evidence Compendium will be used by the VHA’s State of the Art (SOTA) Care Coordination Conference’s Measures, Models, and Definitions work group as a foundation for discussion and further identification of and organization by major concepts and, in turn, will inform the Care Coordination SOTA overall in development of priorities and future research questions around care coordination models and measures.
