Abstract
Care coordination programs have been used to address chronic illnesses, including childhood asthma, but primar-ily via practice-based models. An alternative approach employs community-based care coordinators who bridge gaps between families, health care providers, and sup-port services. Merck Childhood Asthma Network, Inc. (MCAN) sites developed community-based care coordi-nation approaches for childhood asthma. Using a community-based care coordination logic model, pro-grams at each site are described along with program operational statistics. Four sites used three to four com-munity health workers (CHWs) to provide care coordi-nation, whereas one site used five school-based asthma nurses. This school-based site had the highest caseload (82.5 per year), but program duration was 3 months
