Improve Care Coordination After Hospital Discharge
The Institute of Medicine determines care coordination to be an essential strategy that has the potential to expand the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of the American healthcare system (Care Coordination, n.d). Care coordination in a hospital setting is essential to ensure that all patient care activities and information is organized and shared well among all the patient care team participants (Peikes et al., 2009). This includes making everyone on the team aware of the patient’s needs and preferences to ensure a smooth transition (Perrin, K.M, 2022). This will ensure that the right people at the right time can provide appropriate, safe, and effective care for the patient.
