Care Coordination

Course Overview
In this course, clinicians explore the concept of care coordination and its crucial role in enhancing outcomes for clients and their families. The course examines key elements of a client's care ecosystem and highlights how each environment influences planning and decision-making. Care coordination enhances clinicians' ability to provide holistic, client-centered support by uniting services across home, community, healthcare, and educational settings.

Care coordinationis the practice of understanding how the different environments in a client's life—home, school, healthcare, and community—shape their needs and progress. It recognizes that treatment is most effective when clinicians integrate information from all of these settings to guide planning and decision-making. Embracing care coordination means strengthening communication, reducing fragmentation, and using a holistic view of the client to deliver more consistent and client-centered care.
