Leveraging Data to Optimize Care Coordination

Care coordination is essential for ensuring that patients receive comprehensive and cohesive healthcare across various providers and settings. It involves organizing patient care activities and facilitating communication among all stakeholders, including patients and their families.

Key aspects of care coordination include effective communication, ensuring that all parties involved in a patient’s care are informed; a team-based approach that utilizes multidisciplinary teams to address various health needs; patient-centered care, in which care plans are tailored to individual preferences and needs; and smooth transition of care between different healthcare settings to prevent complications.
