Implementation & Adaptation Guide for
Care Coordination Interventions
This web guide is intended for anyone who is planning to implement a new practice into any healthcare setting. It provides tools and steps to implement and adapt an evidence-based practice/program/intervention – we use these terms interchangeably.

More information about CHTP and ACC work is available in the Resources section.
