OVERVIEW
Care coordination and complex care management are essential components of an effective healthcare system. Care coordination involves the deliberate organization of patient care activities between different providers and institutions to facilitate the delivery of safe, effective, and efficient healthcare services. It aims to ensure that patients receive the right care at the right time, with the right providers, and in the right setting. Care coordination is particularly important for patients with complex medical needs, such as those with multiple chronic conditions, disabilities, or mental health issues.Complex care management, on the other hand, is a comprehensive approach to caring for patients with complex medical needs. It involves a team-based approach to managing patients' medical, social, and psychological needs, and it focuses on improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. This approach often involves close collaboration between primary care providers, specialists, nurses, social workers, and other healthcare professionals.
