Nursing Care Coordination in Primary Healthcare for Patients with Complex Needs: A Comparative Case Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Despite nurses' substantial role in care coordination, few education programs exist to better support them in this role. Identification of a set of core care coordination activities across heterogeneous care coordination programs would facilitate the development of a standard of practice. We sought to examine care coordination activities across two care coordination programs in Family Medicine Groups in Quebec, and their relationship to the program design.

Methods

We performed a comparative case study of two care coordination programs in primary care targeting frequent users of healthcare services and people with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. Data collection included documents and semi-structured interviews with key informants.
