Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination

Introduction

Care Coordination plays a crucial role in healthcare. The practice ensures positive patient

outcomes and the success of the healthcare system. Coordination of care involves the

synchronization of patient care that various specialists and providers deliver. AHRQ (2018)

indicates that care coordination in primary care practice organizes patient care activities and

facilitates sharing relevant information to promote safe and effective care. Ideally, care

coordination fosters teamwork and collaboration between physicians and nurses. It also directs

patient-centered practices that focus on meeting their needs and preferences (AHRQ, 2018).

However, government policies and ethical factors affect the implementation and success of care

coordination activities. For instance, nurses are regulated by a nursing code of ethics that

influences the coordination of care. Any violation of these ethical provisions negatively impacts

the continuum of care. As such, this presentation examines the impact of ethical and policy

factors in care coordination and continuum in homeless shelters.
