Complex Care CoordinatorsWhat is a Care Coordinator?

Care Coordinators are clinicians who utilize knowledge, skills, and judgement from diverse bodies of research to provide patients with safe, compassionate, and evidenceinformed care. They are expert assessors of the multiple components of individual patient health, and knowledgeable health system navigators. Care Coordinators are advocates and leaders, and they balance needs and expectations with available resources to ensure fiscal responsibility.
More broadly, the Care Coordinator facilitates the journey through Ontario's health care system by assessing referred patients, determining their health care needs and eligibility, and ensuring they receive the services and care they need, where and when they need them.
