Improving Healthcare Through Clinical Coordination Tools


Patients are usually treated by multiple healthcare providers and visit more than one facility during any episode of illness.

Take the example of a middle-aged patient with knee pain who may present at a general practitioner or urgent care centre. They may initially be referred to a physiotherapist and have a plain X-ray and be offered a pharmacy prescription. Later, they may need an MRI, an orthopaedic appointment followed perhaps by surgery at the local hospital. This alone will involve many separate teams (nursing, anaesthetics, surgery, theatres, pharmacy). After discharge the patient may need rehabilitation from therapy teams.

Even in this straightforward, single-disease example the patient may see 20 or 30 practitioners in five or six different settings over the course of 3–6 months. For an elderly patient with many problems, these numbers could be ten times higher and continue for many years.

Each transition risks errors, and inefficiencies including medication mistakes, repeat tests, delays to diagnosis and treatment, hospital readmissions, patient confusion and dissatisfaction and, ultimately, to much higher costs.
