AIMS: A Care Coordination Model to Improve Patient Health Outcomes
Health & Social Work
(2016)
Abstract
A growing body of research suggests that nonmedical issues, such as psychological and social factors, are intricately linked to health (World Health Organization, 2012). Many patients find themselves unable to comply with their medical care plans as a result of social and economic barriers, which can result in new or exacerbated medical conditions (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2011). Unaddressed nonmedical issues often result in poorer health at an avoidable high cost (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011).
