processes of teamwork and team-based
care:

“Care coordination” is a person-centered,
assessment-based, interdisciplinary
approach to integrating health care and
social support services in a cost-effective
manner in which an individual’s needs
and preferences are assessed, a
comprehensive care plan is developed,
and services are managed and monitored
by an evidence-based process which
typically involves a designated lead care
coordinator.”
