Care Coordination Presentation to Colleagues
Good evening. It is a great honor and pleasure to present this and educate one another on
coordination of care. Care coordination is an integral part of patient care. Its purpose is to ensure
that the needs of the patients are met and the integrated care services provided (Hannigan et al.,
2018). As nurses, we get the opportunity to care for millions of individuals that have complex
issues of health and social needs. This calls for the need for care coordination in order to meet
such needs. Coordination of care tends to synchronize health care delivery of patients from the
different health care professionals and specialists. The aim of doing this is to enhance health
outcomes of the patients and also help in reducing the costs of healthcare. Care coordination
should be conducted throughout the process of care, from arrival or access to the care, to
evaluation, diagnosis, development of a care plan and finally to follow-up or post care (NEJM

effective strategies for collaborating with patients and their families, aspects of change
management, rationale for coordinated care plans based on ethical decision making, potential
impact of specific health care policy provisions and the vital role of nurses in coordination and
continuum of care. This knowledge will help prepare every nurse for effective care collaboration
in future.
