Systems of communication in school‐nurse led care coordination: A concept analysis

et al. 2022

Aim: To analyze the concept of systems of communication in school nurse-led care coordination to develop an operational definition that will inform intervention development. Background: Communication has been identified as an essential attribute in care coordination. However, previous concept analyses of care coordination did not clearly define systems of communication or consider the context of school-based care coordination. Defining and conceptualizing systems of communication has important implications for improving school nurse-led care coordination. Methods: Concept analysis was conducted using Walker and Avant's eight-step concept analysis method. The literature was searched to identify supporting literature that was analyzed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist. Results: Systems of communication in school nurse-led care coordination can be defined as systems wherein care team members, led by the school nurse, collaborate by communicating information and knowledge through an individualized healthcare plan that is student/family-centered and shared through information systems. Attributes require developing an individual health plan that incorporates care coordination needs, information sharing with student/ family consent, and a clear delineation of team member roles. Consequences include student/family outcomes, team member knowledge, and efficiency and accuracy of information. Conclusions: Concept clarification and a synthesized definition allow for more effective measurement development for effective communication in school nurse-led care coordination. Students with healthcare needs in the school environment require systems of communication that efficiently work toward school nurse-led care coordination that addresses the student's health and academic outcomes.

“…2,3 Care coordinators are primarily nurses who work with patients to address their problems with chronic health issues, including mental and social concerns that can affect their health and care. 4 Care coordinators can provide an array of services, including facilitating communication between providers and patients, educating patients on chronic disease and self-management, managing medication complexities, making referrals for medical or social resources, and coaching patients on health behaviors. 1,2 Care coordination is most often studied from a health system and provider point of view focusing on effectiveness of outcomes and care practice issues.…”

Background: Understanding patient perceptions of care coordination in primary care can help improve responsiveness to patients' needs, outcomes, and quality of care. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore patient experiences and perceptions of care coordination in primary care. Method: Interviews with 13 patients from 10 clinics were conducted and analyzed using directed content analysis. Results: Three primary themes arose: care coordinators provide a gateway to accessing needed care; patients needed and valued the support and trusted advice of their care coordinators; and patients valued care coordinators' help with navigating, engaging, and educating them about their care. Conclusions: Understanding what patients value in care delivery can help frame a vision for a more responsive approach in delivering primary care, as well as create a pathway to quality improvement, moving toward a truly patient-centered focus in primary care.

Care coordination is a crucial component of healthcare systems. However, little is known about data needs and uses in ambulatory care coordination practice. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify information gathered and used to support care coordination in ambulatory settings. Survey respondents (33) provided their demographics and practice patterns, including use of electronic health records, as well as data gathered and used. Most of the respondents were nurses, and they described varying practice settings and patterns. Although most described at least partial use of electronic health records, two respondents described paper documentation systems. More than 25% of respondents gathered and used most of the 72 data elements, with collection and use often occurring in multiple locations and contexts. This early study demonstrates significant heterogeneity in ambulatory care coordination data usage. Additional research is necessary to identify common data elements to support knowledge development in the context of a learning health system.
