title: Kaiser Colorado's Cooperative Health Care Clinic: a group approach to patient care.
abstract: A Kaiser Permanente pilot project demonstrates that managing health status with patients on a group basis versus one-on-one office visits can improve health care delivery services and reduce unnecessary resource utilization. Kaiser's Cooperative Health Care Clinic (CHCC) in Denver, Colorado, uses a multidisciplinary team to successfully provide care to elderly members with chronic conditions.
