2. Leverage electronic messaging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nConsistent communication is critical for any care coordination strategy to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To provide the best patient-centred care, providers must have access to detailed patient information, including but not limited to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nPersonal information<\/li> Medical history<\/li> Medical condition<\/li> Information on primary care doctor<\/li> Family history<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nHowever, care coordinators often encounter problems gathering this information because patients won’t always remember everything in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using electronic messaging can remedy this problem. An electronic messaging platform can improve healthcare because it can remind employees via email\/text and keep a copy of the message. Plus, electronic messages are easier to retrieve and store for future references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Build a comprehensive, coordinated care plan for clients<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nPlanning is critical when it comes to implementing a care coordination strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Building a coordinated plan can serve as a blueprint for all the patient’s care parties. A well-built coordinated care plan can include goals, resources, next steps for patients and other information necessary for clients to understand the treatment protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such a plan can enable providers to review a patient’s progress over time and make assessments after each appointment. This creates a strong collaborative relationship and allows patients to take an active role in their own health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Monitor, measure, act<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAs the wise will tell, what gets measured gets achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To assess the effectiveness of a care coordination strategy, you’ll need to measure its performance constantly. You could monitor various aspects of the care coordination programme, such as communication, coordination activities, etc., to assess its effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat gets measured gets achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nMake sure you’re constantly looking for ways to improve performance. In the same vein, be on the lookout for potential problems and fix them before they escalate into major issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrapping up<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nImproving healthcare means reaching higher levels of care coordination. This can easily be achieved by implementing feasible care coordination strategies geared towards the wellbeing of the patients. By following these tips, you’ll stand a better chance at devising a patient care coordination strategy that drives results.<\/p>\n \t \t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
