Coordination of Care: Practice Advice for RNs and NPs

Purpose

Effective Sept. 25, 2026

This practice advice provides guidance to registrants practising in diverse roles and settings when engaging in coordination of care. It applies when registrants are working with clients, their caregivers and other members of the health-care team to provide health services that are tailored to the client’s needs across the health system. 

The purpose of this guidance is to support registrants in coordinating care through a person-centred approach, effective provider to provider communication, planning for continuity across systems, assessment of environment and context, and monitoring and evaluation of care.
