Across the broader health care spectrum, care coordination is increasingly in the spotlight as a proven means to ensure collaboration and cooperation among several providers and to establish accountability for communication and integration of a comprehensive care plan. The National Quality Forum states that care coordination is particularly important for patients who see multiple physicians and care providers each year. While excellent care coordination may very well be the missing link in the healthcare delivery chain, equally important to consider is who provides this service within the overall treatment team. Clinical professionals such as board-certified case managers bring unique expertise to act as care coordinators.
