Care Coordination
Develop a 20-minute presentation for nursing colleagues highlighting the fundamental principles of care
coordination. Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation, approximately 4-5 pages in length, and
record a video of your presentation.
Nurses have a powerful role in the coordination and continuum of care. All nurses must be cognizant of the
care coordination process and how safety, ethics, policy, physiological, and cultural needs affect care and
patient outcomes. As a nurse, care coordination is something that should always be considered. Nurses must
be aware of factors that impact care coordination and of a continuum of care that utilizes community resources
effectively and is part of an ethical framework that represents the professionalism of nurses. Understanding
policy elements helps nurses coordinate care effectively.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to educate your peers on the care coordination process. The
assessment also requires you to address change management issues. You are encouraged to complete the
Managing Change activity.
Completing course activities before submitting your first attempt has been shown to make the difference
between basic and proficient assessment.
