Care Coordination Plan for Stroke Patients
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for 140,000
American deaths annually. Strokes not only cost the nation $34 billion annually through
healthcare costs, medications, and lost productivity, but also, they are a significant cause of

coordinator will facilitate effective communication amongst healthcare providers, patients,
families, and caregivers. They will also facilitate linkages between communities and the

anxiety after discharge. This assessment will explore a care coordinator’s role in assisting

have access to the necessary medical supplies and equipment. Depending on the severity of the
stroke, admission to rehabilitation centers will be necessary. Stroke patients that suffer from
