What is Care Coordination?

Care coordination is the deliberate organization of patient care activities and sharing of information among all participants involved in a patient's care. It involves managing transitions between multiple providers and settings to ensure that the right care is delivered at the right time by the right person, preventing gaps or duplication in services.

Why is care coordination important?

• Prevents fragmentation: Ensures continuity of care across multiple providers and settings.
• Reduces errors: Minimizes medication mistakes and unnecessary procedures through information sharing.
• Improves outcomes: Leads to better health results through comprehensive, integrated approaches.

Challenges in care coordination

• Communication barriers between different healthcare providers.
• Incompatible electronic health record systems.
• Lack of designated personnel responsible for coordination.
