DEDICATE: aDvancing carE Management aDoption In Community heAlTh cEnters

DEDICATE will refine and test the effectiveness of evidence-based implementation support strategies designed to support care management teams' sustained use of electronic health record (EHR)-based functionalities to address unmet non-medical health-related needs through improved clinical-community linkages. This study will test the hypothesis that providing implementation support to health center care management teams will lead to increased adoption of EHR functionalities and increased screenings and referrals to community organization to address unmet non-medical health-related needs needs through a cluster-randomized trial. This study's results will have implications for patients with non-medical health-related needs receiving care management in primary care settings.
