What is A care coordinator?
A care coordinator (or Patient Care Coordinator) is a trained health professional that helps to manage a patient's care, for example, the elderly or disabled. They monitor and coordinate patients' treatment plans, educate them about their condition, connect them with health care providers, and evaluate their progress.
What is the role of the care coordinator?
A care coordinator's job is often the single most important role involved in the care of any individual patient. Supervising interdisciplinary care by bringing together the different specialists whose help the patient may need, the coordinator is also responsible for monitoring and evaluating the care delivered.
