What are the three aspects of Care Coordination?

• A. Assisting with getting to medical appointments; Helping understand health information; Helping find affordable insurance
• B. Providing surgery; Prescribing medications; Scheduling emergencies
• C. Diagnosing illness; Ordering tests; Billing
• D. None of the above

Answer: (D)

Care coordination centers on organizing a person’s care across the different providers and settings, making sure information is shared clearly and follow‑up happens so care is smooth and effective. For a CHW, three fundamental aspects often emphasized are helping people access and navigate services (like scheduling, referrals, transportation), ensuring good communication and a shared understanding among the patient and all providers involved (including a care plan that everyone follows), and connecting people to community resources and supports as part of a ongoing plan.

The first option lists practical supports that are important components of helping someone access care and understand information, but they don’t alone capture the full coordination across multiple providers and settings that care coordination requires. The other options describe clinical or purely administrative tasks rather than coordination activities. Because none of the groupings fully describe all three core aspects of care coordination, none of the above options precisely represents it, so the best answer is that none of the listed groupings fit.
