The Community Services Network Project The Community Services Network Project is a research project aimed at learning how modern computer and communication technologies can support and enhance the coordination of health and human services at the community level. The project addresses the traditional fragmentation of health and human services delivery to low-income, inner-city individuals and families by linking teams of providers through a computer-based communication network. In an attempt to provide these clients with seamless, coordinated care, the Health and Human Services Coalition of the District of Columbia is forming interdisciplinary case teams and developing the attendant protocols of collaboration. To support this collaboration, the Public Health Service is working with the coalition to develop an electronic communications infrastructure that will facilitate the sharing of information among team members.
