Advancing the Model to Insured Populations at MetroHealth Preparing to expand Care Coordination model to Medicaid, Medicare and other insured patient populations Significant workforce expansion requires thorough and detailed workflow definition and procedures Information systems enhancements needed to expand the model beyond the pilot solution Additional management oversight to monitor workloads and flex staffing assignments for efficient operations
