Research on care coordination informs advocacy in two primary ways:
- Understanding the need for and access to care coordination
- Communicating information effectively with and among physicians.
The research highlight Access to Medical Home describes a national study of families' access to the key elements of a medical home. You can find out how your access to a medical home compares and contrasts with theirs. 
You can also review research questions highlighting data from the 2005/2006 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs about families’ access to care coordination services.
One of the key aspects of care coordination is communication among a medical provider, a family and other medical providers.
Advocating for Care Coordination is a research highlight that informs you about parents’ and physicians’ perceptions of parents as the communicators of medical information among primary care physicians and specialty physicians.
