Intelligent Care Coordination Models for Integrated Clinical Teams

Clinical Innovation

This article introduces a unified care coordination model designed to streamline communication, reduce administrative load, and enhance patient outcomes through intelligent workflow orchestration. Built on a foundation of interoperability and predictive decision support, the framework empowers multidisciplinary teams to deliver consistent, high-quality care.

Modern care teams juggle multiple systems, fragmented data points, and manual handoffs that increase risk of delays or oversight. This report proposes a coordinated architecture that aligns clinical roles, real-time data, and patient-specific triggers into a single operational flow.

Core Components of the Model:

  • Collaborative care pathways mapped across physicians, nurses, and coordinators
  • Trigger-based alerts powered by clinical thresholds and symptom insights
  • Automated task routing that adapts to patient acuity and staff availability
  • Cross-system interoperability built on FHIR R4, CDS Hooks, and SMART on FHIR
  • Visibility dashboards tracking patient progress, escalations, and unresolved tasks

Metrics & Governance:

  • Handoff accuracy rate
  • Task-cycle completion time
  • Alert-response adherence
  • Team collaboration index
  • Readmission risk trendlines
