Greetings. I am ________. In this video, I will address enhancing care coordination for individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) through the advocacy of evidence-based interventions. I will address the challenges faced in coordinating care to meet the clinical priorities identified through a designed PICOT question related to COPD (McClinton, 2022). I will highlight the essential services and resources required to promote interprofessional care coordination, ultimately aiming to enhance health outcomes for COPD patients. The strategies employed to encourage stakeholder engagement specifically for our COPD care coordination initiative. The session will conclude by discussing upcoming actions aimed at maintaining the careful use of resources and guaranteeing a safe care setting for COPD patients.
Analysis of Care Coordination Efforts Related to PICOT Question
The PICOT question involved evaluating;
“Among adult patients diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (P) within local healthcare institutions, does the adoption of a centralized Electronic Health Record (EHR) system (I) as opposed to conventional paper-based recordkeeping (C) lead to enhanced care coordination (O) within six months timeframe (T)?”
Implementing a centralized Electronic Health Record (EHR) system in local healthcare organizations for adult patients with COPD has several care coordination implications. Firstly, it streamlines the sharing of patient information among healthcare providers, facilitating faster and more accurate decision-making. It improves the coordination of care plans, medication management, and follow-up appointments, leading to enhanced patient outcomes and reduced duplication of services (Arnold et al., 2020).
The implementation of a centralized EHR system encourages interdisciplinary collaboration by offering a complete overview of the patient’s health condition and treatment background to all healthcare professionals involved. This collaborative approach enhances communication, coordination, and the continuity of care, thereby guaranteeing that patients diagnosed with COPD receive comprehensive and personalized interventions.

Drawing conclusions supported by credible evidence, studies such as Classen et al. (2020) and Mullins et al. (2020) have demonstrated the positive impact of centralized EHR systems on care coordination, patient safety, and healthcare efficiency. These studies highlight improvements in information sharing, clinical decision-making, and patient outcomes following the implementation of EHR systems in healthcare organizations. Lalova-Spinks et al. (2024) emphasize the importance of data protection and patient privacy in EHR systems.
Practical implementation strategies and data control mechanisms are crucial for successful care coordination initiatives. Therefore, the evidence strongly supports the conclusion that implementing a centralized EHR system can significantly improve care coordination efforts related to clinical priorities for adult patients with COPD in local healthcare organizations. The credibility of these studies is further underscored by their inclusion in reputable peer-reviewed journals, in which they undergo rigorous evaluation by experts in the field prior to publication (Dixon et al., 2020).
Change in Practice related to Services and Resources Available for Interprofessional Care Coordination Team
The shift in practice concerning favors and resources accessible to the interprofessional care coordination team entails the introduction of a centralized Electronic Health Record (EHR) system within local healthcare organizations, specifically targeted at adult patients diagnosed with COPD. This change aims to enhance care coordination by providing healthcare professionals with a comprehensive and real-time view of patient information, treatment plans, and outcomes (Dixon et al., 2020).
One of the primary services introduced with the implementation of the centralized EHR system is the ability to share patient data seamlessly among different healthcare providers involved in COPD patient care. Classen et al. (2020) demonstrated that a centralized EHR system improved information sharing among healthcare providers, leading to faster clinical decision-making and reduced adverse events. It ensures that all team members have access to up-to-date information, leading to quicker and more informed decision-making (Gaveikaite et al., 2020).

The centralized EHR system provides valuable resources such as clinical decision support tools, evidence-based practice guidelines, and medication management modules. These resources enable the interprofessional care coordination team to standardize care protocols, reduce errors, and optimize treatment outcomes for patients with COPD. Mullins et al. (2020) highlighted how clinical decision support tools embedded in EHR systems can alert healthcare providers about potential drug interactions, suggest evidence-based interventions based on patient data, and streamline communication for care transitions.
The rationale behind this change in practice is well supported by credible evidence from studies such as Classen et al. (2020) and Mullins et al. (2020), which demonstrate the positive impact of centralized EHR systems on care coordination, patient safety and healthcare efficiency. These studies provide evidence-based insights into how the integration of technology resources can improve the workflow of interprofessional teams, enhance communication, and ultimately lead to better patient outcomes in chronic disease management.
Efforts to Build Stakeholder Engagement within Interprofessional Team
Establishing strong stakeholder engagement within the interprofessional team is essential for the effective implementation of care coordination initiatives (Renoux et al., 2020). It involves fostering collaboration, communication, and mutual understanding among team members, patients, families, and other stakeholders. A detailed and comprehensive strategy is needed to address any uncertainties and ensure active participation and support from all stakeholders. One of the key strategies to build stakeholder engagement is to establish clear and transparent communication channels (Vachon et al., 2022).
It includes regular meetings, updates, and feedback sessions where all team members and stakeholders can voice their opinions, concerns, and suggestions. For example, holding monthly or quarterly meetings with representatives from different disciplines (e.g., physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and social workers) can facilitate open dialogue and collaboration in care planning and decision-making.

Providing ongoing education and training opportunities is essential to keep stakeholders informed and engaged (Myrhøj et al., 2023). It can involve workshops, webinars, or seminars on topics related to care coordination, best practices, patient-centered care, and technology utilization. For instance, organizing training sessions on the use of EHR systems or care coordination software can empower team members to leverage technology effectively in their roles. Moreover, involving patients and their families as active participants in care coordination efforts is vital (Madawala et al., 2022). It can be achieved through patient education programs, shared decision-making processes, and involving them in care planning discussions. For instance, conducting patient and family advisory councils or focus groups can gather valuable insights and feedback on improving care coordination processes and meeting patient preferences and needs.
Leveraging technology and digital platforms can enhance stakeholder engagement by providing accessible and user-friendly communication tools (Classen et al., 2020). For example, implementing secure messaging platforms, patient portals, or telehealth solutions can facilitate real-time communication, appointment scheduling, medication reminders, and access to health information for patients and families. Addressing uncertainties and potential challenges in stakeholder engagement requires a proactive approach (Wileman et al., 2023).
It includes conducting regular assessments, surveys, or feedback mechanisms to identify barriers, concerns, and areas for improvement. Tailoring communication strategies, educational materials, and support resources based on stakeholder feedback and preferences can help overcome uncertainties and enhance engagement within the interprofessional team.
Future Steps to Thoughtful Resource Utilization and Safe Care Coordination
To use resources carefully and make sure care coordination is safe, we need to take some essential steps in the future. One crucial step is to use advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to improve how we analyze data and make decisions in care coordination (Classen et al., 2020). Implementing predictive analytics based on these technologies enables healthcare teams to forecast patient needs accurately and allocate resources more efficiently. Continuous staff training and education programs are also crucial (Mullins et al., 2020). Healthcare professionals can enhance their skills and knowledge, leading to improved patient outcomes.
Efforts to enhance patient and family engagement play a pivotal role (Lalova-Spinks et al., 2024). Developing patient education programs, establishing regular feedback mechanisms, and involving patients and families in care planning discussions ensure that their preferences and needs are considered, ultimately improving care coordination effectiveness. Quality improvement initiatives are another essential aspect (Classen et al., 2020).

Healthcare organizations can enhance the quality of care coordination by identifying areas for improvement and implementing evidence-based practices. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of care coordination processes are essential for identifying gaps, measuring effectiveness, and making informed decisions to optimize patient care. Interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare teams is also critical (Mullins et al., 2020). Fostering strong partnerships and shared decision-making among physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other allied health professionals ensures holistic and patient-centered care delivery.
Strengthening data privacy and security measures is imperative to safeguard patient information (Lalova-Spinks et al., 2024). Robust cybersecurity protocols, access controls, and regular audits are essential to mitigate data breach risks and comply with regulatory requirements. Finally, adherence to evidence-based practice guidelines and clinical protocols is essential (Classen et al., 2020). Regular updates to protocols based on the latest research findings and guidelines ensure that care coordination efforts are aligned with best practices, promoting patient safety and quality care delivery.
Conclusion
This assessment commenced with the formulation of a PICOT question, guiding our exploration of care coordination strategies and patient outcomes. We highlighted the benefits of implementing a centralized Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for COPD patients in local healthcare setups. Engaging stakeholders emerged as critical for successful care coordination endeavors. Lastly, we recommended prioritizing thoughtful resource utilization and maintaining safety in care coordination practices going forward.
