Care coordination involves deliberately organizing patient care activities and sharing information among all the participants concerned with a patient`s care to achieve safer and more effective care. The goal of care coordination is to facilitate the appropriate and efficient delivery of health care services both within and across systems. Fostering a patient-centric approach, recognizing and respecting the diverse cultural backgrounds, beliefs, and values of patients, and tailoring care navigation services accordingly. Care coordination improves both patient satisfaction and health outcomes. Care Coordination is a truly collaborative approach. Care Coordinators are excellent problem-solvers who are dedicated for finding the best solution to their patients’ needs. They have strong research abilities that enable them to seek out resources related to each client’s specific life situation. Care coordinators are highly organized and efficient, allowing them to serve as many clients as possible without sacrificing personalized attention and enjoy taking initiative to improve their patients’ quality of life.
