A Brief Overview
The Care Coordinator serves in an expanded nursing role to collaborate with patients and their health care team including Primary Care Providers, specialists, and hospitals to provide a model of care that ensures the delivery of quality, efficient and cost-effective healthcare services across the continuum. The Care Coordinator functions as a coordinator of patient care, assesses, plans, implements, monitors, and evaluates all options and services with the goal of optimizing the patient's health status. The Care Coordinator integrates evidence-based clinical guidelines, preventative guidelines, protocols, and other metrics in the development of transitions of care plans that are patient-centric, promoting quality and efficiency in the delivery of healthcare for the targeted high-risk population. The Care Coordinator monitors patients across the health continuum with a focus on effective and safe transitions through the healthcare system with a goal to optimize resources and reduce avoidable readmissions back to acute care. The Care Coordinator manages performance feedback metrics to further refine the care model to maximize clinical, quality, and fiscal outcomes for the targeted population. The delivery of professional nursing care at Stormont-Vail HealthCare is guided by Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring and the theory of Shared governance, both of which are congruent with the mission, vision, and values of the organization.
