Introduction and objective:
Coordinated care in primary care in Poland formally emerged relatively recently, i.e. on 1st October 2021. Since then more and more Primary care providers (PCPs) operating in this part of the health care system have been offering the new care model to their patients. Presented below is the experience to date related to the implementation and operation of coordinated care in primary care in Poland in 2021–2024, with a special focus on the most significant barriers to its development.

Review methods:
The article was prepared based on materials obtained from the National Health Fund (NFZ) electronic database of “Primary health care units providing coordinated care”. Furthermore, a literature review was conducted of coordinated care in the Polish health care system. The applicable legal regulations in this field in Poland were also analyzed.

Abbreviated description of the state of knowledge:
The current status of the development of coordinated care in primary care in each province in Poland is presented using data from the National Health Fund, NFZ. The focus was primarily on the number of places available to patients where such services are provided by providers who have signed a contract with the NFZ to provide coordinated care services financed from the budget entrusted in primary care.

Summary:
The status to date of the implementation and operation of coordinated care in primary care in Poland should be assessed positively, especially given the relatively short time since its inception. The results obtained indicate the need to address the identified barriers to the development of coordinated care in Poland.
