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:

• Health Literacy • Physical considerations: Low health literacy can lead to poor health outcomes and

difficulty managing chronic diseases. • Psychosocial considerations: Low health literacy can cause emotional distress,

anxiety, and depression. • Cultural considerations: Cultural beliefs and practices may influence an individual’s

health literacy. • Community resources: Health literacy programs, patient education materials, and

health navigators can provide resources and support for individuals with low health literacy.

• Environmental Health • Physical considerations: Environmental hazards such as air pollution, lead

exposure, and toxic waste can cause physical health problems. • Psychosocial considerations: Environmental hazards can cause emotional

distress, anxiety, and depression. • Cultural considerations: Cultural beliefs and practices may influence an individual’s

exposure to environmental hazards. • Community resources: Environmental health clinics, community clean-up

programs, and advocacy groups can provide resources and support for individuals affected by environmental hazards.

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.
