Why Choose an Independent Coordinator?
Why Choose an Independent Coordinator?
1. An independent care coordinator will improve your quality of care.
Independent care coordination ensures better quality, client-directed care, for care-recipients and their carers at home.
It does this by improving:
- Assessment and planning, identifying needs comprehensively/broadly to include client desires and goals, in order to optimize both care-recipient’s outcomes and carer’s support
- Quality control, providing:
- maximum level of choice for clients, with all direct-care services brokered without bias/conflict,
- flexibility/adaptability of services, individually tailored to clients’ needs/desires/goals,
- Coordination of care, increasing access to planned supports
- Care-management, provided by qualified/expert health professionals (Registered Nurse or equivalent Allied-Health Professional),
- utilising evidence-based clinical practice
- independent, professional assessment regarding levels of needs
- Value-for-money, based on:
- Affordability from significant organisational scale-of-economy
- Increased accountability/transparency over service usage
- Broader/comprehensive resourcing of care, providing added services via our extensive referral network/linkages (including primary, allied health, and community providers)
- Enablement, through provision of:
- Health coaching
- Extra support, information/education – also for carer-givers – to help clients maximise their abilities and health/wellbeing
- Best prepare clients, and particularly carer-givers – to enable clients to best manage themselves, and support carers in their role in the clients’ ongoing/changing condition(s)
- Care coordination
- Coordination of shared care through better informing and collaborating with all other health professionals and care providers necessary to optimise outcomes
2. An independent care coordinator will improve your value for money.
Independent care coordination ensures better ability to optimise all relevant variables and priorities that will benefit your care.
It does this by:
- Firstly, maximising the independent control/choice of clients and coordinators working together as a team.
- In turn, the client/coordinator team is empowered with the ability to optimise all relevant variables and priorities that will benefit clients:
- Access (availability and timeliness)
- Price (affordability and frequency)
- Quality (appropriateness and safety)
Literature research, client feedback and our practice experience, all demonstrate this model to effectively increase the ultimate value of services for clients.
