Popis:	Care coordination is important for chronically ill patients who need assistance from a variety of care professionals, and often transition through different care settings. This paper provides an overview of coordination and its implications for the care of chronically ill patients. Using 12 interviews of different healthcare professionals involved in coordinating care of chronically ill patients, we provide examples of care coordination situations (e.g., patient discharged home with home health services) and identify coordination activities (e.g., communication for arranging resources, building relationships to facilitate information exchange, monitoring patients to plan follow up care) performed by different healthcare professionals.
