In the realm of medicine, the patient’s care is always given the topmost priority. After the diagnosis of the medical calamity, the focus of healthcare professionals is centered on two things; treatment and care of patients. Extensive research and evidence based treatment plans are put into action for the immediate cure and therapy, but in order to maintain controlled and constructive long term results, a care coordination plan needs to be implemented to cater for the care and for all the scenarios related to the care of the patient.
To provide the topmost care to the patients, patient-centered care reports are devised which are individualized according to the case study of each patient. But to move into the broader scope, a care coordination plan needs to be formulated which stands as the foundation for the individualized patient-centered care report. A care coordination plan crafts out a coordination scheme for all the healthcare personnel associated with the care of the patient diagnosed with a certain health concern. This plan organizes and plans the activities of all the healthcare professionals in order to ensure the effective care and treatment of the patient.
An effectual preliminary care coordination plan covers all the physical, psychological, and cultural restrictions connected with the health concern. The care coordination plan devised in this paper is based on the uprising issue of Gestational Diabetes. According to research, Gestational Diabetes targets approximately 6% of pregnant women every year and this number is drastically incrementing (Elsevier, 2017). Gestational Diabetes is developed during the third trimester of pregnancy and if proper care is not induced in the patient, then after the birth of the child, or sometimes before, the patient becomes a subject of the lethal Type II Diabetes. This paper will focus on all the cultural, psychological, and physical implications associated with Gestational Diabetes and will present a care coordination plan that aims at beneficial care of the patient.
