TL;DR
The data support the use of programs like the IHI BTS in improving the processes of care for patients with chronic diseases, including both medical therapeutics and education and counseling.
Abstract
Organizational participation in a common disease-targeted collaborative provider interaction improved a wide range of processes of care for CHF, including both medical therapeutics and education and counseling. Our data support the use of programs like the IHI BTS in improving the processes of care for patients with chronic diseases.
