Centennial Area Health Education Center has 2 Regional Health Connectors, covering 11 rural and frontier eastern Colorado counties. Based on the local needs in these communities, we propose to introduce a model for care management. This model would be to partner with clinics to provide clinical workforce training for care managers to go to the homes of patients, attend clinic visits and take Telehealth into the homes for the most vulnerable patients.
