Strategy 2.3 Improve communication between all patient stakeholders including families, primary care providers, and specialists. Tactic: CHCO will create process and materials to standardize and expedite patientrelated communication between multiple sources. This will enable providers and caregivers to monitor health and make decisions in a coordinated manner. Tactic: CHCO will explore options for personalized monitoring technology to have access to additional objective health data. These options include medication adherence devices for inhaled medications, which are already being tested in asthma patients, and wearable devices that can monitor vital signs. This additional objective data can improve the quality of communication between stakeholders and assist with clinical decision making. Setting / Delivery Mechanism Provider – Enhanced communication will occur between providers and assist with clinical decision-making. Home – Enhanced communication tactics will include families.
