The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) unveiled the "Connected Care"  initiative to improve use of chronic care management resources.  CMS notes an estimated 117 million adults have one or more chronic health conditions, and one in four adults have two or more chronic health conditions. Through the Connected Care campaign, the CMS Office of Minority Health and the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy at the Health Resources & Services Administration will raise awareness of the benefits of CCM for patients with multiple chronic conditions and provide health care professionals with resources to implement CCM.  For more details see:
