Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Healthcare Workforce Development
  • Patient Care Coordination

Background:

  • Increasing health system fragmentation and poor coordination negatively impact individuals with chronic complex conditions.
  • Care coordination models, utilizing a dedicated workforce, are a proposed solution to these challenges.
  • The care coordinator role, often filled by nurses, allied health, social workers, or GPs, lacks standardized training and quality standards in Australia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the evidence gap regarding the health system literacy needs of care coordinators.
  • To identify essential components for developing a highly effective and health literacy-responsive care coordination workforce.
  • To highlight key areas for improving health system literacy among care coordinators.

Main Methods:

  • This study identifies key areas for building a health system literate care coordination workforce.
  • It emphasizes the need for professional quality standards and health literacy responsiveness.
  • The research highlights the importance of shared understanding of healthcare roles and systems.

Main Results:

  • There is insufficient evidence on the specific health system literacy needs of care coordinators.
  • A significant gap exists in formal training, curricula, and nationally recognized professional quality standards for care coordinators in Australia.
  • Improving health system literacy among the health workforce is a growing policy and research focus.

Conclusions:

  • Care coordination is vital for providing equitable health services to patients with chronic complex conditions.
  • A high-performing care coordinator workforce, upholding professional standards and health literacy responsiveness, is necessary.
  • Addressing the health system literacy needs of care coordinators is critical for enhancing patient support and care coordination.
