Nurse coordinators who organise care pathways and handovers
Nurse coordinators
The coordinator keeps the pathway moving between professionals. The job is to see who is waiting for what, and to hand over without losing a detail.

See who is off-track
Missed appointments and overdue tasks surface on their own.
Hand over completely
The next shift reads the same structured handover.
Messages and reminders go out from the same plan.
Safeguards
Coordinators see the patients in their pathways and teams. Clinical decisions stay with the responsible clinician; the plan records who decided what.
The six questions
- What is it?
- A coordination workspace for care plans, handovers and follow-up across the care team.
- Who is it for?
- Nurse coordinators, case managers and pathway nurses in clinics, hospitals and home care.
- Which problem does it solve?
- Handovers are verbal or on paper, tasks live in personal notebooks, and a patient who misses a step is noticed late.
- How does it work?
- Each patient has a shared care plan with owners and due dates. Handovers follow a structured format inside the record, and patients who miss a step are flagged automatically.
- How is it different?
- Tasks belong to the pathway, not to a person’s memory, so a shift change or absence does not break the chain.
- What is the proof?
- Open, overdue and completed tasks are visible per patient and per team, with who closed each one.
