Care Coordinator

Description

Care coordinators help clients navigate the healthcare system and help healthcare teams plan care for patients. They explain diagnosis and treatment plans to patients, help patients understand the risks and benefits of taking treatment, and educate families on patients’ diagnoses. They help with discharge planning and continuity of care by connecting patients to the resources they’ll need when they go home. Care coordinators need at least a bachelor’s degree in social work or a related field.
