Final Care Coordination PlanProfessional ContextCare coordination is the process of providing a smooth and seamless transition of care as part of the health continuum. Nurses must be aware of community resources, ethical considerations, policy issues, cultural norms, safety, and the physiological needs of patients.

They draw upon evidence-based practices to promote health and disease prevention to create a safe environment conducive to improving and maintaining the health of individuals, families, or aggregates within a community. When provided with a plan and the resources to achieve and maintain optimal health, patients benefit from a safe environment conducive to healing and a better quality of life.This assignment provides an opportunity for you to apply communication, teaching, and learning best practices to the presentation of a care coordination plan for a specific healthcare problem a patient may experience.By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment criteria:Competency 1: Adapt care based on patient-centered and person-focused factors.Competency 2: Consider how you would collaborate with patients and family to achieve desired outcomes.Evaluate learning session outcomes and the attainment of mutually agreed-upon health goals.
