Care Coordination Presentation to Colleagues
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.

Care Coordination Presentation to Colleagues
Care coordination involves deliberately organizing patient care activities and sharing information among all of the participants concerned with a patient`s care to achieve safer and more effective care. This means that the patient`s needs and preferences are known ahead of time and communicated at the right time to the right people, and that this information is used to provide safe, appropriate, and effective care to the patient. Principles of care coordination include: accessibility – integrated with community resources to assure access for all linguistic and cultural groups; individualization based on family circumstances, needs and strengths; aligned with the family – serves as advocate for family when systems with challenging or unresponsive systems; and promotes solution of systematic problems through network of CCs guided by standards and ethics – identifies and tracks systematic gaps and barriers.
