Introduction:
The first step in any effective project is planning. This assignment provides an opportunity for you to strengthen your understanding of
how to plan and negotiate the coordination of care for a particular health care problem.
Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations for this health care problem. Identify and list available community resources for a safe and effective continuum of care.
Preparation:
Imagine that you are a staff nurse in a community care center. Your facility has always had a dedicated case management staff that
coordinated the patient plan of care, but recently, there were budget cuts and the case management staff has been relocated to the
inpatient setting. Care coordination is essential to the success of effectively managing patients in the community setting, so you have
been asked by your nurse manager to take on the role of care coordination. You are a bit unsure of the process, but you know you will do a good job because, as a nurse, you are familiar with difficult tasks. As you take on this expanded role, you will need to plan effectively in addressing the specific health concerns of community residents.

Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete.
Allow plenty of time to plan your chosen health care concern.
