Final Care Coordination Plan
Care coordination is identified to be a process that looks towards providing the best
possible care to the patients. It involves putting together different aspects of the healthcare
process in an aligned fashion with the aim of enhancing healthcare delivery (McDonald et al.,
2014). Through the assessments conducted so far, it is evident that healthcare policies,
utilization of community resources, nurse’s ANA code of ethics, and many other aspects are
critical towards the success of the care coordination plan. This final care coordination has taken
into account all these factors and utilized them together with what was gathered in the
preliminary care coordination plan for a COPD patient (Kastelyn et al., 2015).
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a term used for a variety of
respiratory diseases. It is largely characterized by airflow obstruction from and into the lungs
(Johnston et al., 2015). It is a chronic illness that regresses as time goes by. This illness would
require a care coordination plan to help the patient deal with her condition as it might take a
significant toll on the patient. The preliminary care coordination was presented face-to-face to
the patient, and the outcomes and areas of interventions would be presented to the patient, and
her family. These are the issues that are found in this final care plan (Bower, 2016).
Patient-centered Health Interventions
Patient-centered care is all about ensuring that the patient is at the center of the care
process. The patient-centered interventions look towards ensuring that the patient plays a
participatory role through the care process. Initially, the hospital centered interventions looked at
the hospital as the center of the care process (Cabanal, 2018). The traditional pattern tended to
negatively affect the patient and the patient centered interventions looked to change all that.
