La coordinación asistencial constituye un eje fundamental para mejorar la eficiencia de los sistemas sanitarios y garantizar la sostenibilidad del uso de los recursos. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar el impacto de diferentes estrategias de coordinación en materia de variabilidad en la práctica clínica, continuidad asistencial, seguridad del paciente, satisfacción y experiencia como usuario, eficiencia y sostenibilidad de los sistemas de salud. La coordinación sanitaria efectiva no depende de una única intervención, sino de la sinergia entre elementos clínicos, organizativos, tecnológicos y financieros. La reducción de variaciones injustificadas requiere una combinación de estrategias, incluyendo la promoción de la práctica basada en la evidencia, la educación continua de los profesionales, la implementación de auditorías clínicas y el fortalecimiento de la toma de decisiones compartida. En el ámbito organizativo, la implementación exitosa de modelos integrados requiere un enfoque sistémico y adaptado al contexto local, con una visión a largo plazo que priorice los resultados en salud de los pacientes, así como la calidad, la eficiencia y la sostenibilidad del sistema. Care coordination constitutes a fundamental pillar for improving the efficiency of healthcare systems and ensuring the sustainable use of resources. The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate the impact of various coordination strategies on clinical practice variability, continuity of care, patient safety, user satisfaction and experience, as well as on the efficiency and sustainability of health systems. Effective healthcare coordination does not rely on a single intervention, but rather on the synergy between clinical, organizational, technological, and financial components. Reducing unwarranted variations requires a multifaceted approach, including the promotion of evidence-based practice, ongoing professional education, the implementation of clinical audits, and the reinforcement of shared decision-making. At the organizational level, the successful implementation of integrated care models requires a systemic approach tailored to the local context, with a long-term vision that prioritizes patient health outcomes, quality of care, efficiency, and system sustainability
