Why Develop A Conceptual Framework?
Researchers and funders agreed that an important step prior to developing specific measures would be to develop a conceptual framework of care coordination, with particular relevance to people with disabilities. We believe, indeed, that such a framework to define care coordination may be relevant to other groups as well, such as people with chronic conditions. But why is such a framework needed in the first place? The primary reason is that there is little clarity or consensus about the meaning of the term care coordination. Like many terms in health care, it is defined in different ways by different people. In addition, other terms are often used that appear to be close in meaning to care coordination, but the extent or degree of overlap in the meaning of these terms is also unclear (Shortell 1976; Fletcher, O’Malley, Fletcher, et al. 1984; Siegel and Habel 1996; Chen, Brown, Archibald, et al. 2000). Social scientists believe it is impossible or at least misguided to try to measure so
