Care coordination is crucial to avoid potential risks of care fragmentation in people with complex needs. While there are many empirical and conceptual approaches measuring improving coordination, use theory limited by its complexity the wide variability available frameworks. We systematically identified categorized existing theoretical frameworks new ways make theory-to-practice link more accessible. To identify relevant frameworks, we searched MEDLINE®, Cochrane, CINAHL, PsycINFO, SocINDEX...
