Care Coordination: Person-Centered Care Across the Continuum focuses on the integrative aspect of care coordination within nursing practice. The text builds upon the foundation of care coordination in the discipline, linking it back to nursing pioneers and then progressing to modern applications within healthcare systems.

The book covers a wide scope of care coordination aspects ranging from core competencies required for the practice, such as advocacy and communication, to models of care across the continuum, quality improvement processes, healthcare financing implications, and informatics. Each of its eleven chapters feature objectives, key terms, illustrated examples, case studies, and end-of-chapter summaries to reinforce the learning experience.

Care Coordination is an exemplary resource for nursing courses and programs, particularly those emphasizing healthcare systems, management, and informatics. The book's comprehensive content suits both educational settings and practical, on-the-job reference needs, aiming to enhance healthcare delivery through improved care coordination across patient populations and settings.
