Nurses are one of the main professionals when it comes to healthcare, they, therefore, have a huge role to play since they are in charge of taking significant care of patients. Care coordination refers to having better communication as well as the interaction of care across all the professionals in healthcare. All the patient needs have to be addressed and every medical condition attended to. when patients get to the hospitals they end up spending a lot of time while others leave even without being attended to because the providers do not know what exactly they are supposed to be doing. However, if there is better coordination this is likely to change. The PICOT question, in this case, is: Will improving coordination of health care result in better patient care? How will it improve the mental health and lead to healthier people by the year 2020? Population- the population for the study are the patients suffering from mental health. Using these patients will be good because mentally ill patients require a lot of care and attention. It will then be possible to identify where the professionals are falling short. Intervention- this is the coordination of care. The hospital will have to come up with ways in which the health professionals can be better organized. Comparison- this is the unattended patients and the long hours spent in the waiting areas or in the hospitals in general. Outcome- the outcome here will be improved care. If the nurses and the other healthcare providers are able to work together and communicate well then, the patients will be well taken care of. Time- the period for this intervention is 2020. If there is proper coordination of care will there be healthier people come 2020? This period is enough to know if the intervention and other programs put in place really work. 3 PICOT STATEMENT There are quite many reasons why the coordination should be improved. To start with, the healthcare facility can get sued after the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed. This is going to assist in improving the care that the patients get and also ensure the satisfaction of the patient as well. The time in which they spend in the hospitals will also be reduced since there will be someone to attend to them immediately after they get to the facilities (Hofmarcher et al., 2007). Many things have changed in health care, for instance, the medical practices have advanced, there is the use of technology, and the delivery is now sophisticated so there is no reason as to why healthcare should be lagging behind when it comes to coordination. One of the things that can be done is to use an electronic health record. This will help in a great way in reducing the fragmentation of care. The patient’s information will be well organized and it can be retrieved easily upon the patient’s arrival to the hospital. This will also ensure that all the providers have the same information about the patient. With care coordination, there will be no misdiagnosis. The patients are also going to receive all the information that they need for their treatment (O'Malley et al., 2009). The healthcare providers are able to know the needs of the patients and they are communicating with the others in good time leading to the patient receiving the best care they need. All APA papers should have a formal conclusion, please remember this going forward. References PICOT STATEMENT 4 Hofmarcher, M. M., Oxley, H., & Rusticelli, E. (2007).

Running head: NURSING LITERATURE REVIEW Nursing Literature Review May 27, 2018 Introduction 1 NURSING LITERATURE REVIEW 2 Children with special health care needs have not fully met the requirements for care coordination. Coordination among the nurses for mental health patients has been the concern for various stakeholders including the federal government. A need to have a system in which patients’ data can be transferred from one healthcare delivery setting to another electronically in an efficient way to ensure relevant and accurate clinical decisions. With an efficient care coordination system, the resources of the healthcare provider as well as the patient's time are preserved. Efficient and accurate sharing of patient data facilitates diagnosis and treatment from all the providers involved. Incentives to the primary care practices are offered to encourage all efforts required towards the improvement of the patient care coordination (Foster et al., 2018). Children diagnosed with anxiety are mainly victims of unmet need for care coordination. This vulnerable population will best be if an intervention embarks on the identification and enhancement of the family-based supported in addition to a coordinated care system of the healthcare practitioners. The result of the uncoordinated care is poor patient outcomes. Concerns are also raised on the use of technology in healthcare as a focus on the effectiveness of care coordination (McAllister et al., 2018). The focus of the literature review is on the comparison of the various research questions raised and the limitations established for the effective implementation of policies for coordinated care. Comparison of Research Questions There is a clear distinction between children with mental health conditions who receive a coordinated care and those who don't. The further focus on research is not whether coordination is essential but rather on how to implement it effectively. With an approximate of 40% of the children who express the need for care coordination not receiving it an alternative to reinforce the care coordination such as extensive family support and its effectiveness become paramount NURSING LITERATURE REVIEW 3 to the children (Brown et al., 2014). What factors hinder the care coordination? Many efforts made by the various stakeholders including incentives to the practitioner's care coordination remain a phenomenon in policy development. Difficulties sending and receiving information electronically is a barrier for the effective coordination among the health care practitioners (Cohen, & Adler-Milstein, 2015). Other such as competing priorities and the financial costs involved significantly hinder the coordination. Care coordination effectiveness is dependent on the investment that is affected in the whole process. The entire process requires highly informed health practitioners with other unpaid caregivers who must integrate efficiently to provide highquality healthcare. This defines the need to have efficient systems as coordinated care almost demand the practitioners and the unpaid caregivers to make personal costs toward its effectiveness (Daveson et al., 2014). Comparison of Sample Population To determine the need for care coordination the population choice was on the children aged between 2 to 17 was chosen. This represents the population that would extensively seek medical attention on every mental issue that the parents identified. Using a population of 57500000 children the outcome measures are reliable. It represents what is best for a diversified community seeking coordinated care. 43.2% of the people with a need for care coordination providing an outcome of 41.2 % as unmet need mean then that 1 million of the population within that year did not efficiently meet the care coordination needs even when they prevalently sought for them. To determine the barriers that the health practitioners encounter in focus for care coordination (Cohen, & Adler-Milstein, 2015) use 328 primary care practices and the outcome between October 2013 and March 2014. One of the focuses to the practitioners was the use of electronic measures to transfer information to other practitioners. Using the practitioners to 4 NURSING LITERATURE REVIEW conduct the survey reinforce the research done earlier by Brown et al., 2014 on the patients. To determine the factors that would enhance care coordination the population integrated 56patients to 27 unpaid caregivers. Through this population, coordination must be deliberate, and the stakeholders must show full commitment and sacrifice to achieve the desired results. Comparison of the Limitations of the Study According to the research conducted by Brown et al., (2014) on the need for care coordination the research fails to identify what is the alternative approach and its outcome to the population that has no prevalence for care coordination. This research focuses on the population in which care coordination is prevalence and not the one to which it's available and inefficient. The outcome of the results in general and has no specific platform for further research and the factors that hinder care coordination. (Cohen, & Adler-Milstein, 2015) emphasizes the need for information and not the actual commitment by the health practitioners to give efficient healthcare to the patients. The population choice was limited to a single state while the different state has different mechanisms of coordination. Davison et al., 2014 research is limited to the observational data that would enhance the trustworthiness of the findings. The study would have been enhanced more with a more significant contribution by the unpaid caregivers. The research outcome has limitations on the actual investment required for a given population that would provide adequate information. Conclusion The care coordination of healthcare services dramatically improves the patient's outcome and help save time and other resources. It's even more useful when dealing with a large population of patients such as children who must significantly seek care (Wu et al., 2017). One NURSING LITERATURE REVIEW of the solutions established in the previous research is the electronic health records systems. Having up to date patient data as well as the outcome of discoveries will improve the efficiency of the services by the caregivers. From the research outcome care coordination would require a voluntary commitment by the caregivers. Policy makers need to standardize the operations to incorporate care coordination as the primary approach to health care providing the resources required. I recommend research to correctly identify the current efforts to care coordination and the quantifiable results. The basis for further research is to improve the efficiency of the care coordination practices. References 5 NURSING LITERATURE REVIEW 6 Brown, N. M., Green, J. C., Desai, M. M., Weitzman, C.
