Coordinated care plan for Alzheimer's and dementia patients
Care coordination is a crucial aspect of healthcare. It is an important part of the treatment
spectrum that helps people get better. Nurse coordination involves using community resources,
following health standards and procedures, making ethical decisions, and improving nursing
process consistency. They also examine the patient's mental health, cultural preferences, and
other factors (Bower, 2016). This plan will help patients with dementia and other underlying
conditions.
Dementia encompasses a wide spectrum of illnesses and conditions characterized by
impaired mental functioning, such as memory loss, language challenges, and problem-solving
difficulties. This is a long-term, semi-chronic condition. Garcia, Gosselin & McCarthy (2017)
contend that a care coordination plan can help patients manage illness and live meaningful lives
despite their complex health issues. According to Crowley & Kirschner (2015), it may also help
relatives comprehend how patients should be cared for. This paper provides a detailed analysis of
dementia coordinated care plan and the community resources for safe and effective continuum
care.
