Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCC) e-Care Plan Project Collaborative Site
Welcome!
This is the Collaborative Site for the Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCC) e-Care Plan Initiative ("MCC e-Care Plan Project"), a joint project between the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). To return to the project home page, visit ecareplan.ahrq.gov.
Project Objectives
The MCC e-Care Plan Project aims to:
- Promote the interoperable collection, use, and sharing of comprehensive, person-centered health and social data across settings;
- Facilitate coordinated, person-centered care planning approaches that integrate the full care team (including the patient) across settings; and
- Build data capacity to conduct pragmatic Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR).
Testing Opportunities
The MCC IG undergoing STU Ballot as of August 2023 can be found here: MCC eCare Plan Implementation Guide
