WGU D046. INTRO TO CARE COORDINATION FINAL EXAM MARKING SCHEME 2023 © lOMoARcPSD| A patient arrives at your organization and needs specific care. Recently, your organization signed an agreement with a university health system to allow for telehealth assessment and identification of potential treatment options. As the coordinator for this patient, what would be the next step to determine if this is a good solution? Correct answer- Contact the leadership team and the telehealth informatics specialist to identify whether everything is in place for this patient to receive care through this association. Telehealth initiatives have associated a lot of organizations with university and other larger health systems to facilitate a collaborative practice for care delivery. A patient is ready to go home, and the family has expressed concern about the patient being on her own during the day. The patient is unable to complete full activities of daily living due to a recent injury. Is there something that the coordination team can recommend for provision of lunch or dinner? Correct answer- Recommend that the family contact the local Meals on Wheels program, so they can ensure the patient has access to food and drink during the day. The patient has some activities for daily living but is not able to complete all activities. Since the concern is around food during the day, the coordinator identified a service that provides free or reduced delivery of hot meals one time a day. Use of this service also provides reassurance for the family that someone has checked on the patient that day. The care team has determined that to reverse behaviors of smoking, a patient and family should seek ongoing support. What recommendations would the care coordinator make? Correct answer- The care coordinator recommends current community outreach programs available and assists the patient and family in deciding which option will meet their needs. The care coordinator should have a list of partners in the community who can assist patients and families, encouraging compliance and promoting health wellness. Provide an example of the clinic-clinician patient relationship. Correct answer- Examples of the clinic-clinician patient relationship include trust between the clinician and patient, shared decision-making, and mechanisms for mutual support of patient self-management. Provide an example of the clinic-clinician-community resource relationship. Correct answer- Examples of the clinic-clinician-community resource relationship include the level of interrelationship along Himmelman's continuum for collaborative lOMoARcPSD| processes, formal mechanisms for referrals, and effective mechanisms for feedback from community resource to clinic. Provide an example of the patient-community resource relationship. Correct answer- Examples of the patient-community resource relationship include patients' perception and trust of the community resource, formal mechanisms for referrals, and effective communication between patient and community resource. Using health technology to gather patient-specific data in their electronic health record, how could the care coordination team focus care on an individual patient? Correct answer- Using the data collected provides a collection of problems and diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) that can help the care team determine discharge needs. Review of demographic data can provide information after validation that the information is correct during the assessment phase of contact with the patient and family. The electronic health record is a tool used by the coordination team and others to gather information on what is going on with the patient, by providing information on both the current situation and the medical history. It can also include advance directive information for the future.
