Baseline Parent/Caregiver Survey, MCAN Care Coordination Initiative English & Spanish Versions

Sponsoring Program Name: 
Merck Childhood Asthma Network
The concept of Care Coordination for the MCAN sites was defined as a— "a client-centered, assessment-based interdisciplinary approach to integrating heath care and social support services in which an individual's needs and preferences are assessed, a comprehensive care plan is developed, and services are managed and monitored by a care coordinator following evidence-based standards of care." — From The Promise of Care Coordination a report commissioned by the National Coalition on Care Coordination.

The four Care Coordination program sites participated in a cross-site evaluation led by the Center for Managing Chronic Disease at the University of Michigan to assess outcome and process measures focused on care coordination and clinical outcomes.  The following survey was the source for quantitative cross-site data, and was administered at baseline. Preliminary findings from this initiative across four program sites indicate that the percent of participants with “not well controlled” asthma decreased from 49 percent at baseline to 18 percent at 12 month follow-up.
