This report proposes a framework for care coordination in a high-performing pediatric health care system. To develop this framework, the authors conducted a literature review, held key informant interviews, and convened an expert panel. The framework includes a definition of care coordination; outlines its principal characteristics, competencies, and functions; and sets forth a detailed process for its delivery. It also describes a model to implement care coordination across all health care settings and related disciplines.
