For this assessment, you will develop the final care coordination strategy based on your health care concern and population in Assessment 2 (infographic created regarding cognitive impairment) using best practices found in the literature.
The infographic for reference is attached
Backstory/Context: This assessment builds on your initial care coordination infographic by providing an opportunity to research the literature and apply evidence to support what communication, teaching, and learning best practices are needed for your selected healthcare problem. 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.
To prepare for your assessment, you will research the literature on your selected healthcare problem. You will describe the priorities that a care coordinator would establish when discussing the plan with a patient and family members. You will identify changes to the strategy based upon evidence-based practice and discuss how the strategy includes elements of Healthy People 2030.
Instructions: Build on your preliminary care infographic and selected health concern and population and create a detailed, comprehensive final care coordination strategy.
It is suggested that you use the following outline to organize your 5–7 page paper, including headings:
