Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination

Select a community organization or group that you feel would be interested in learning about ethical and

policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Then, develop and record a 10-12-slide, 20-minute

presentation, with audio, intended for that audience. Create a detailed narrative script for your

presentation, 4-5 pages in length.
As coordinators of care, nurses must be aware of the code of ethics for nurses and health policy issues

that affect the coordination of care within the context of the community. To help patients navigate the

continuum of care, nurses must be proficient at interpreting and applying the code of ethics for nurses

and health policy, specifically, the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Being knowledgeable about ethical and

policy issues helps ensure that care coordinators are upholding ethical standards and navigating policy

issues that affect patient care.
