Assessment 1--Preliminary Care Coordination Plan

Care coordination is a vital approach toward improving the health of patients by

promoting appropriate care management. A care coordination plan helps healthcare

professionals examine the urgent concerns of clients and establish suitable

interventions(Wendt et al., 2021). They ensure that these plans focus on improving patient

care outcomes. The preliminary care coordination plan focuses on domestic violence,

including its implications on an individual’s mental health. Establishing an appropriate plan

requires an understanding of domestic violence and its physical, psychosocial, and cultural

considerations. Domestic violence is an abusive behavior pattern in a relationship that one

partner uses to maintain or gain control over the other partner.

Domestic violence is a public health concern with adverse consequences to the victim.

Parties involved in domestic violence include family, friends, and relatives (Mshweshwe,

2020). The preliminary care coordination plan focuses on defined goals, community

resources, and mechanisms for achieving positive desired outcomes. Actualizing the plan

requires an understanding of the aspect of domestic violence, its causes, implications, and

suitable interventions for improving the care continuum. The current statistics on domestic

violence in America indicate that 13.8%) and 24.3%) are severe physical violence victims

(Socea et al., 2020). Presumably, intimate partners are the major group of individuals who

suffer because of domestic violence. The well-being and wellness of patients of domestic

violence require a keen assessment of the effects. Healthcare professionals must examine the

levels of harm before establishing preliminary care coordination plans.

inequalities and gender norms, and income inequalities in society are risk factors for domestic

violence. These factors make a person vulnerable to physical and psychosocial challenges
