The John A. Hartford Foundation and Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute CaRe-Align
The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) will jointly invest $750,000 in the CaRe-Align initiative, which will develop a new model of care to realign care around older patients' self-identified health goals and potentially lead to improve health outcomes and lower care costs. The project will be led by MacArthur Fellow and Mary Tinetti, MD, of Yale University and Caroline Blaum, MD, of NYU School of Medicine.

The project will be led by MacArthur Fellow and Mary Tinetti, MD, of Yale University and Caroline Blaum, MD, of NYU School of Medicine, both Hartford grantees.
The new model will aim to incorporate the best available evidence for involving patients in their own care and facilitating communication and coordination between and among primary care and specialty care clinicians.
“More care does not equal better care,” says Corinne Rieder, EdD, executive director of the John A. Hartford Foundation. “The fragmentation in our health care system means a person could receive care from several physicians whose treatments may actually conflict.”
