This case study describes the Camden City Health Improvement Learning Collaborative (the Collaborative), a community care network initiative formed in 1993. The organization is composed of representatives from local healthcare providers, public agencies, religious organizations, and neighborhoods. The major goal of this initiative is to improve the health status of the community by involving and empowering residents in the solution of their needs. The Collaborative represents a grassroots strategic model of community inclusion in the formulation of goals and programs to improve community health status. The case study describes the dynamics of the Collaborative by examining the following: historical development; political, institutional, and social context; planning process; organization and structure; and performance evaluation. The article concludes with a discussion of the strategic and operational lessons learned from the Collaborative.
本案例研究描述了卡姆登市健康改善学习协作组织（协作组织），这是一个1993年成立的社区护理网络倡议。该组织由当地医疗保健提供者、公共机构、宗教组织和社区的代表组成。这项倡议的主要目标是通过让居民参与并赋予他们解决自身需求的权力来改善社区的健康状况。协作组织代表了一种基层战略模式，即在制定改善社区健康状况的目标和计划时实现社区包容。该案例研究通过考察以下方面来描述协作组织的动态情况：历史发展；政治、制度和社会背景；规划过程；组织与结构；以及绩效评估。文章最后讨论了从协作组织中学到的战略和运营经验教训。
