Assessment 1 Instructions: Preliminary
Care Coordination Plan
● 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.
Preparation
Imagine that you are a staff nurse in a community care center. Your facility has always had a
dedicated case management staff that coordinated the patient plan of care, but recently, there
were budget cuts and the case management staff has been relocated to the inpatient setting.
Care coordination is essential to the success of effectively managing patients in the community
setting, so you have been asked by your nurse manager to take on the role of care coordination.
You are a bit unsure of the process, but you know you will do a good job because, as a nurse,
you are familiar with difficult tasks. As you take on this expanded role, you will need to plan
effectively in addressing the specific health concerns of community residents. As you begin to
prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Care Coordination Planning
activity. Completion of this will provide useful practice, particularly for those of you who do not
have care coordination experience in community settings. The information gained from
completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment. Completing formatives is
also a way to demonstrate engagement.
To prepare for this assessment, you may wish to:
● Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand
the work you will be asked to complete.
● Allow plenty of time to plan your chosen health care concern.
Develop the Preliminary Care Coordination Plan

● Identify a health concern as the focus of your care coordination plan. In your plan,
please include physical, psychosocial, and cultural needs. Possible health concerns may

○ Home safety.
○ Pulmonary disease (COPD or fibrotic lung disease).
○ Orthopedic concerns (hip replacement or knee replacement).
○ Cognitive impairment (Alzheimer’s disease or dementia).
○ Pain management.
○ Mental health.
○ Trauma.
● Identify available community resources for a safe and effective continuum of care.
Document Format and Length
● Your preliminary plan should be an APA scholarly paper , 3-4 pages in length.
○ Remember to use active voice, this means being direct and writing concisely; as
opposed to passive voice, which means writing with a tendency to wordiness.
● In your paper include possible community resources that can be used.
● Be sure to review the scoring guide to make sure all
Assessment 2 Instructions: Ethical and
Policy Factors in Care Coordination
● Select a community organization or group that you feel would be interested in
learning about ethical and policy issues that affect the
● coordination of care. Then, develop and record a 10-12-slide,
20-minute presentation, with audio, intended for that
audience. Create a detailed narrative script or speakers notes for
your presentation, 4-5 pages in length.
● ***Provide a prompt to read from for presentation****
Preparation
Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected
and frequently speaks to a variety of community organizations and
groups. She has noticed the good work you are doing in your new
care coordination role and respects your speaking and presentation
skills. Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly
about contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial
for your career and has suggested reaching out to a community
organization or support group to gauge their interest in hearing from
you, as a care center representative, on a topic of interest to both you
and your prospective audience.
You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to
research a community organization or support group that might be
interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the
coordination of care. Your manager has suggested the following
community organizations and support groups, but acknowledges that
the choice is yours.
● Homeless shelters.
● Local religious groups.
● Nursing homes.
● Local community organizations (Rotary Club or Kiwanis Club).
To prepare for this assessment, you may wish to:
● Research your selected community organization or support
group.
● Review the Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive
Statements and associated health policy issues, specifically, the
ACA.
● Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure
you understand the work you will be asked to complete.
● Allocate sufficient time to rehearse your presentation before
recording the final version for submission.
Instructions
For this assessment:
● Choose the community organization or support group that you
plan to address.
● Develop a PowerPoint with typed speaker notes (the script for
your voice recording) and audio voice-over recording, intended
for that audience. Video is not required.
Note: PowerPoint has a feature to type the speaker notes directly into
the presentation. You are encouraged to use that feature or you may
choose to submit a separate document. See Microsoft Office Software
for technical support about the use of PowerPoint, including voice
recording and speaker notes.
