Definition

ISO-11179 Definition

The assignment of a designated care coordinator, nurse navigator, or care team to a health plan member to facilitate integrated healthcare delivery across multiple providers, settings, and services. Care coordination is a core function of Medicare Advantage and Medicaid managed care plans, particularly for members with complex chronic conditions, recent hospitalizations, or high-risk social determinants of health. Effective care coordination reduces fragmented care, prevents avoidable readmissions, improves medication adherence, and closes care gaps.

Healthcare data teams use mbr_care_coord in care management platforms to track coordinator assignments, measure caseloads, monitor intervention completion rates, and report care coordination program outcomes for NCQA accreditation, CMS Star Ratings, and value-based care contract performance measurement.

Why This Term Matters

Member and enrollment data governs who receives care and who pays for it — making it foundational to every downstream healthcare analytics workflow. Data engineers who understand member terminology build eligibility pipelines that prevent coverage gaps, correctly identify dual-eligible members, and support accurate risk adjustment submissions to CMS. Enrollment errors directly affect capitation payments and can trigger CMS corrective action plans.
