Abstract

This study contributes to a very limited literature on the practice of rural care coordination by assessing the quality of care provided compared with a recommended standard. This study also contributes an in-depth reporting on the variety of service models being implemented. Finally, this study uniquely contributes innovative interprofessional examples of enhanced care coordination initiatives. These examples may provide inspiration for rural health care organizations. As the care coordination landscape evolves to include social determinants of health, there remain important fundamental barriers to ensuring quality of care.
