Coordination does not create decision authority or professional scope. These guides cannot assess a person's health, determine capacity, authorize access, prescribe or change medication, guarantee benefits, or certify a caregiver or care manager. Verify current permissions, authority, clinical instructions, program rules, professional licenses, service contracts, and emergency routes.
