University of Nebraska Board of Regents Approves Chronic Care Management Center

The University of Nebraska (nebraska.edu) Board of Regents recently approved plans to establish the Center for Patient, Family, and Community Engagement in Chronic Care Management (CCCM). The focus of the center is to build infrastructure to expand and fund pilot research projects that help Nebraskans learn to live with their chronic (long-term) conditions so they stay healthy, stay in their homes longer and reduce health care costs. The center will include professionals from different health and academic units at UNMC colleges and centers, Nebraska Medicine, UNMC’s hospital partner, the University of Nebraska at Omaha, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
