Document the Coordinated Care Plan Using the Care Coordination Tool

One of the key outputs of Coordinated Care Management is the development of a Coordinated Care Plan (CCP). As described by the Ontario Medical Association, “a coordinated care plan is a written or electronic plan that is created and maintained by the patient or his or her family, the health care team including physician consultants where appropriate, and when necessary, community services. […] It outlines the patient’s short and long-term needs, recovery goals, and coordination requirements, and it identifies who is responsible for each part of the plan.” 1
