184 Words1 Page

In efforts to address the health care needs of an individual with MCC, health care systems benefit from using the Chronic Care Model (CCM) and Transitional Care Model (TCM) when developing a patient care plan.

    Under a dispersed model of care if I was a 63-year old experiencing chest pain, and I did not have a regular provider, I would be able to go directly to the cardiac surgeon at the medical school. The dispersed model of care is the traditional health care organization model in the United States (Bodenheimer & Grumbach, 2012).

There are also overlapping roles, as primary care providers are taking on secondary care functions by providing inpatient care on top of their primary care functions that they are supposed to be fulfilling (Bodenheimer

The notion spreads outside the health care organization to collaborative associations in the community. Wagner et al. (2001) termed this approach the “chronic care model.” With this model, physicians, nurses, case managers, dieticians, and patient educators
