Although promising research is developing related to promotores and the Chronic Care Model (CCM), studies of the effectiveness of the integration of these two system innovations in addressing health disparities are limited. This article reports on an organizational assessment and analysis of promotores working in a system of federally-sponsored community health clinics along the United States-Mexico border where the CCM has been operationalized. The work of promotores was found to be largely invisible within the CCM. This highlights the need for further investigation if the potential of these combined system innovations to address health disparities among Hispanics is to be realized.
尽管与促进者和慢性病护理模式（CCM）相关的研究正在蓬勃发展，但关于将这两种系统创新整合起来以解决健康差距问题的有效性研究却很有限。本文报告了对在美国-墨西哥边境由联邦政府资助的社区健康诊所系统中工作的促进者进行的组织评估和分析，在该系统中CCM已经投入使用。研究发现，在CCM中，促进者的工作在很大程度上不为人所见。如果要实现这些综合系统创新在解决西班牙裔人群健康差距方面的潜力，这凸显了进一步调查的必要性。
