Assessment 01 – Preliminary Care Coordination Plan
For this assessment, you will develop a 3–4 page preliminary care coordination plan for a
selected health care problem. Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations for this
health care problem. Identify and list available community resources for a safe and effective
continuum of care.
Before you complete the instructions detailed in the courseroom, first select one of the following
health care problems or issues:
• Health Literacy
• Physical considerations: Low health literacy can lead to poor health outcomes and
difficulty managing chronic diseases.
• Psychosocial considerations: Low health literacy can cause emotional distress,
anxiety, and depression.
• Cultural considerations: Cultural beliefs and practices may influence an individual’s
health literacy.
• Community resources: Health literacy programs, patient education materials, and
health navigators can provide resources and support for individuals with low health
literacy.
• Environmental Health
• Physical considerations: Environmental hazards such as air pollution, lead
exposure, and toxic waste can cause physical health problems.
• Psychosocial considerations: Environmental hazards can cause emotional
distress, anxiety, and depression.
• Cultural considerations: Cultural beliefs and practices may influence an individual’s
exposure to environmental hazards.
• Community resources: Environmental health clinics, community clean-up
programs, and advocacy groups can provide resources and support for individuals
affected by environmental hazards.
After you have selected one of the problems/issues from the list above, return to the detailed
instructions in the courseroom to complete your assessment.
