NURS FPX 4050 Assessment 3 Care Coordination Presentation to Colleagues

It is essential to evaluate the competency of healthcare professionals in delivering high-quality care treatments to patients. Healthcare staff must be efficient in providing ethically correct and competent care with the help of adequate training. These qualities will contribute to a positive patient experience. Technology integration can further augment the patient experience, including telemedicine, electronic health records, and patient portals. This will enhance patients’ engagement and experience as they acquire care treatments conveniently with immediate and enhanced access and communication.

Lastly, changes within management regarding implementing systems that gather patient feedback and commit to continuous improvement based on their experiences could potentially improve patient’s experience. As these changes within management can improve the delivery of high-quality and direct patient-centered care, patient experience is ultimately improved (Sällström & Johansson, 2022). These aspects of care are highly valued by patients where their preferences are considered in care treatments and access to healthcare information is enhanced. 

Care Plans and Ethical Decision-Making

Coordinated care interventions must be crafted considering the ethical standards of care, as ethical issues affect the goal of these plans. For instance, the ethical issues of confidentiality and privacy are raised when the exchange of healthcare information is required among interdisciplinary teams to deliver coordinated care. Furthermore, ethical issues due to the poorly implemented principle of informed consent can also be encountered in care coordination. Multiple treatments and strategies must be performed, which can be challenging when a multidisciplinary team is involved (Sällström & Johansson, 2022).

Considering these challenges, making coordinated care interventions on the grounds of ethical decision-making is crucial. In ethical decision-making, the principles of patient autonomy, informed consent, and secure, protected health information of patients. By implementing ethical decision-making of coordinated care plans, the coordinated care plans can result in logical positive implications and better consequences.

When coordinated care plans are based on patient autonomy and involved in decision-making, it leads to informed consent and patient-oriented care. This enhances the patient’s adherence to the treatment plan and patient satisfaction as their health outcomes improve. Similarly, ethical principles of beneficence (Doing Good) and non-maleficence (Do Not Harm) integrated into care coordination improve patient-provider relationships and promote patient’s well-being. This leads to improved quality of care and patient health outcomes and fosters a healthcare environment with compassion and care (Sällström & Johansson, 2022).

The underlying assumptions that direct decision-making includes are that healthcare professionals have an innate duty to provide ethically correct care treatments and improve patients’ health outcomes. Furthermore, it is assumed that patients have the right to acquire the best care treatments from healthcare organizations that do not harm them and promote their well-being in all circumstances. 

Healthcare Policy Provision’s Influence on Outcomes and Patient Experiences

In this portion, I will particularly emphasize the policy provision of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. The HITECH Act emphasizes the adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHR) within healthcare systems to facilitate care coordination and improve health outcomes. By implementing EHR within healthcare setups, the staff can share and access health information at one glance. This will lead to a reduction in treatment errors due to communication gaps and improve coordination of care. Moreover, EHR use enables better-informed decision-making immediately, improving emergency health outcomes. Furthermore, providing patients access to EHRs to improve communication can enhance patient-provider engagement and enable more efficient care. This will ultimately lead to improved quality health outcomes and positive patient experience (Tutty et al., 2019).

Nurses’ Significant Contribution towards Coordination and Continuum of Care

Now, in this final section of my presentation, I will enlighten you all with the striking roles of nurses in the coordination of care and its continuum. They overcome communication barriers between primary care physicians and patients (G&u
