Preliminary Care Coordination Plan

Mental Health

Mental health is one of the leading concerns regarding the wellbeing of a given

population, irrespective of age, gender, sex, race, or socio-economic and political status. Studies

highlight the integral role of the care coordinator within the mental health continuum care long

and short-term metrics. The mental health preliminary care coordination plan focuses on the core

competencies and how the goals, community resources, and interdisciplinary measures are

organized to achieve the desired outcomes. Such a plan requires understanding the various

aspects of mental health, its core symptoms, and the measures that can be undertaken to improve

the continuum of care. Mental illnesses occur on various levels of severity, which have to be

identified. For instance, in the United States, 1 in 5 adults live with various forms of mental

illnesses (Jones et al., 2018). Patients' wellness and wellbeing entail a critical assessment of the

mental health situation, including Any Mental Health or Serious Mental Health. These two broad

categories can influence possible preliminary care coordination plans.

Best Practices

Mental health risk factors include environment, upbringing, drugs and substance abuse,

genetic or biological aspects, and other relevant factors that make individuals susceptible to

mental instability. Mental health best practices entail the activities, behaviours, and treatments

that focus on the mind, body, and emotions. According to the NCAA, the best practices should

address the holistic health practices that continue to integrate care for the patients and the larger

community. The competencies identified in the mental health best practices require that a

collaborative framework is employed, especially in using patient-centred or person-centred care

plans (Lyon & Bruns, 2019). On the other hand, coordinating and collaborating with the patients'

families and creating mutually-agreed-upon health intervention goals can improve the outcomes.

The desire is for the nurses and health professionals to create a satisfying and motivating patient

experience through the patient-centred care models to appeal to mind, body, and soul. A holistic

care plan will entail all the aspects mentioned.

On the other hand, the patients should be subjected to self-care interventions, such as

literacy sessions, to avoid risks such as drugs and stressful environments or situations. A patient-

centred care model is a core competence, which elevates the patient's status and uses their core

values and beliefs to influence a change in their mental health conditions. A preliminary care

coordination plan for the mental health condition includes using the resources available with the

patient’s wellbeing and the eventual outcomes, including measures to achieve the desired

outcomes (Enos, 2017). Healthcare providers have to encourage the best practices that conform

to the patient-centred models, including surrounding oneself with positive-thinking people,

having the right attitude and self-esteem about oneself, understanding the resources available for

them, and knowing the rights. These best practices will influence a positive coordination plan

and influence the patients in the right way.
