Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Report: Person-Centered Care Planning for Persons With Multiple Chronic Conditions

AHRQ PCCP MC Creport

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has released a Learning Collaborative report and related environmental scan reports on "Person-Centered Care Planning for Persons With Multiple Chronic Conditions."

The PCCP for Persons with Multiple Chronic Conditions (PCCP4P) project, funded by AHRQ, gathered information in support of the goal to make PCCP routine in practice. The project involved seven overlapping tasks to examine approaches for delivery of PCCP for individuals living with or at risk of developing multiple chronic conditions (MCC), one of which was the Learning Collaborative.

The Learning Collaborative goal was to highlight promising models of PCCP for persons living with, or at risk of, MCCs and describe feasible solutions to common implementation barriers.

Over the course of six sessions, the 48 Learning Collaborative members participated in bi-directional learning that explored implementation of PCCP models and approaches and shared experiences as health care professionals, patients, researchers and program implementers. The members identified five key areas for action: Research Priorities, Quality Measures, Payment and Resources, Training, and Local Context. The resulting report and additional materials are:
