The American healthcare system is under increasing pressure to enhance patient outcomes while simultaneously controlling costs. Addressing this critical need, the Duke University School of Nursing presents its innovative Population Care Coordinator Program. This program leverages evidence-based strategies designed to significantly improve patient care, boost patient engagement, and streamline administrative operations within healthcare settings. Whether for a solo practice or a large-scale healthcare system, the Duke Population Care Coordinator Program offers scalable solutions.
Population Care Coordinators play a vital role in bridging the gap between primary care teams and patients.

These coordinators are instrumental in optimizing organizational workflows and enhancing inter-office communication, enabling healthcare providers to deliver more effective and patient-centered care.
Acting as both coaches and dedicated healthcare advocates, Duke Population Care Coordinators are committed to ensuring patients achieve and maintain optimal health. Their approach encompasses preventative wellness strategies, seamless management of care transitions, and consistent follow-up care, providing comprehensive support throughout the patient journey.
