Many bodies—who is responsible for the care?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

1. Option 1

   Specialist institutions per body retain responsibility

   Preserves the specialty of each function, but responsibility for the cross-effects left across the whole experience may go unassigned.

2. Option 2

   Designate a person-centered coordinating institution

   Addresses connected effects together, but data and coordination authority concentrate in one institution.

3. Option 3

   The stakeholder holds coordination authority and data

   Protects the center of one's own experience, but the individual takes on the burden of complex institutional coordination.
