Preliminary Care Coordination Plan

Assessment 01 – Preliminary Care Coordination Plan

For this assessment, you will develop a 3–4 page preliminary care coordination plan for a selected health care problem. Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations for this health care problem. Identify and list available community resources for a safe and effective continuum of care.

Before you complete the instructions detailed in the courseroom, first select one of the following health care problems or issues:

• Homelessness • Physical considerations: Homelessness can cause physical health problems such

as exposure to the elements, malnutrition, and injuries. • Psychosocial considerations: Homelessness can cause emotional distress, social

isolation, and difficulty with daily activities. • Cultural considerations: Cultural beliefs and practices may influence an individual’s

willingness to seek help for homelessness. • Community resources: Homeless shelters, transitional housing programs, and

outreach programs can provide resources and support for individuals experiencing homelessness.

• Aging and Elder Care • Physical considerations: Aging can cause physical health problems such as

chronic diseases, mobility limitations, and cognitive decline. • Psychosocial considerations: Aging can cause emotional distress, social isolation,

and difficulty with daily activities. • Cultural considerations: Cultural beliefs and practices may influence an individual’s

willingness to seek help for aging-related issues. • Community resources: Senior centers, home health care services, and caregiver

support groups can provide resources and support for older adults and their caregivers.

After you have selected one of the problems/issues from the list above, return to the detailed instructions in the courseroom to complete your assessment.
