assessment phase of care coordination plan
During the assessment phase of this subpopulation, the full interview and assessment of a specific client are reviewed and considered. The assessment should include the client, family, community, services currently utilized, and potential future needs. A comprehensive needs assessment is completed during this phase and will need to stay updated as the patient transitions.
planning phase of care coordination plan
Planning occurs after the identification of the potential services needed. Creation of the care team and identification of the care coordination plan will begin. This improves the process of including the right care team members to the initial planning stages with the care team. Client engagement will be needed to ensure the success of the care delivery path, as it usually requires the client and family to adapt or adopt new practices or services into their daily living.
interventions phase of care coordination plan
The goals for the interventions will fall into three categories: prevention, transition of care, and chronic care. All interventions should be supported through evidence-based practices when possible. Ensuring that the client receives the immediate care delivery for the moment is important; ensuring that interventions to support those plans and treatments in the future needs to be worked on by all members of the team.
evaluation phase of care coordination plan
Evaluation is an analysis of the plan, the interventions, and the outcomes. This phase is ongoing and will lead to reevaluations based on the outcomes and the continuous cycle of improving the outcome for the client as well as in analysis of the ongoing nature of diseases. Some conditions will be short-lived and can be resolved, whereas other problems or conditions are chronic with exacerbation, remission, or maintenance cycles. All of this will factor into the ongoing nature of dealing with clients in the healthcare setting
individualization phase of care coordination plan
The final stage is the ongoing individualization of the plan to meet the needs of the client, the family, the environment, and the community. This occurs after and along with the continual evaluation, since the overarching plan requires ongoing and concurrent evaluation and individualization according to the client's needs. Only at resolution is a care coordination plan ever complete, although this will be impacted by a re-entry into another episode of care
