Module 4 Discussion: Care Coordination
After reviewing the various Module 4 Resources related to care coordination., give some thought to the coordination of care in your current practice setting and explore the following questions:
• What (if any) resources/technology are used in your practice setting to facilitate coordination of care?
• How and when do healthcare professionals communicate with one another?
• Are social workers, nurses, or other healthcare professionals available to help promote continuity of care?
• How does the nurse-provider relationship influence coordination of care?
• What role does staffing play in promoting coordination of care?
• What are the primary barriers for providing high quality coordination of care in your setting?
• What opportunities to improve coordination of care can you identify and how might you help promote change?
Craft a 350-500 word response that collectively addresses these questions. You need not include answers to all of these questions in your response, but do use them all to frame your reflection on the coordination of care in your professional practice setting.
