Define care coordination and its primary goal in a patient-centered medical home.

Care coordination is the deliberate organization of patient care activities and information to achieve safer, more effective care and improved health outcomes; its primary goal is seamless transitions, appropriate services, and patient engagement within a patient-centered medical home.

Care coordination is only about scheduling appointments and is primarily aimed at reducing wait times.

Care coordination is a billing system to optimize reimbursement for multiple providers.

Care coordination is a patient education program focused solely on medication adherence.

Care coordination means deliberately organizing and sharing patient care activities and information among all members of the care team, including the patient, to achieve safer, more effective care and better health outcomes. In a patient-centered medical home, the main aim is to ensure smooth transitions across different care settings, provide appropriate services when needed, and actively involve the patient in decisions and planning. This goes beyond merely scheduling appointments, handling billing, or focusing only on medication education; it integrates communication, follow-up, and care planning to keep the patient at the center of a coordinated care process.
