Introduction
This assessment builds on your initial care coordination infographic by providing an opportunity to research the literature and apply evidence to support what communication, teaching, and learning best practices are needed for your selected healthcare problem.

Note: You are required to complete this assessment only after Assessments 2, 3, and 4 are successfully completed and you have permission from faculty to move forward.

Professional Context
Care coordination is the process of providing a smooth and seamless transition of care as part of the health continuum. Nurses must be aware of community resources, ethical considerations, policy issues, cultural norms, safety, and the physiological needs of patients. Nurses play a key role in providing the necessary knowledge and communication to ensure seamless transitions of care. They draw upon evidence-based practices to promote health and disease prevention to create a safe environment conducive to improving and maintaining the health of individuals, families, or aggregates within a community. When provided with a plan and the resources to achieve and maintain optimal health, patients benefit from a safe environment conducive to healing and a better quality of life.

Please watch the following brief video message for an overview of what to keep in mind as you complete your Care Coordination Strategy.

Final Care Coordination Strategy.
Preparation
You are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Cultural Competence activity prior to completing this assessment. Completing course activities before submitting your first attempt has been shown to make the difference between basic and proficient assessment.

In this assessment, you will evaluate the preliminary care coordination infographic you developed in Assessment 2 using best practices found in the literature.

To prepare for your assessment, you will research the literature on your selected healthcare problem. You will describe the priorities that a care coordinator would establish when discussing the plan with a patient and family members. You will identify changes to the strategy based upon evidence-based practice and discuss how the strategy includes elements of Healthy People 2030.

Instructions
