D046 Intro to Care Coordinationexemplary gradesupdate 2024

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? - ️️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? - ️️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? - ️️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. - ️️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.
