For your care coordination plan, you may use the Care Coordination Plan Template [DOCX], choose a format used in
your own organization, or choose a format you are familiar with that adequately serves your needs for this
assessment.
Your preliminary plan should be 3–4 pages in length. In a separate section of the plan, identify the

Cite at least two credible sources from peer-reviewed journals or professional industry publications that support your
preliminary plan.

Cite supporting evidence for best practices.
Consider underlying assumptions and points of uncertainty in your analysis.
Identify a hypothetical individual who would benefit from a care coordination plan.
Document goals for the care coordination plan.
