Goal

Addressing the second step in COAMI's Call to Action, the goal of the conference was to move toward agreement on:

1. The most productive and likely-to-succeed chronic care model approaches.
2. The outcomes and measures upon which to focus.
3. The types of interventions that can be implemented in primary care and specialty settings.
4. A research agenda to move this initiative forward.

By the end of the conference, nine action steps toward building the "Model for OA Care" were identified. Participants formed groups to work on these action steps.
