Assessment 4 Instructions: Final Care Coordination Plan Content
For this assessment, you will implement the preliminary care coordination plan you developed in
Assessment 1. Present the plan to the patient in a face-to-face clinical learning session and

Care 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. Nurses play a key
role in providing the necessary knowledge and communication to ensure seamless transitions of
care. 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 assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply communication, teaching, and learning
best practices to the presentation of a care coordination plan to the patient.
