What is community focused complex care coordination?
Community-focused complex care coordination provides a case management style of service intended to ensure that care and support in the community is coordinated and tailored to the needs of the client and their carers. An expected outcome of service is a reduced reliance on the emergency department and hospital services.
The service also assists with hospital discharge planning for patients known to the service.
Complex care coordination is delivered through three programs including:
- Complex Needs Coordination Teams (CoNeCT) of North and South Metropolitan Health Services
- Complex Care Coordination Program at WA Country Health Service Sites.
