No.	Exclusion Criteria	Rationale
1	Does not relate to and/or describe care coordination	Align with the review to consider initiatives that describe care coordination
2	Disease is not part of the CDMP list	Align with the review aim to examine initiatives related to management of chronic diseases on the CDMP list.
3	Initiative does not target population of interest (i.e., community-dwelling adults who are neither aged 21 and above nor have a chronic disease)	Care coordination for adults who are not community-dwelling or non-adult populations involves different considerations (e.g., liaising with the nursing home care team, partnering with parents and teachers).
4	Articles are not based on an initiative in Singapore	Align with the review aim to study initiatives in Singapore.
5	Articles not in English	Eliminate the risk of losing information due to translation issues.
6	Articles assessed and/or described an alternative form of intervention (e.g., acupuncture)	A sample of 50 articles on alternative therapies were reviewed and the articles did not contain any element and/or description of care coordination. Hence, this criterion was added midway through the stage 1 screening process.
Additional exclusion criteria for stage 2 screening
7	Full text is not available	Abstracts may not provide a good representation of the initiative and sufficient level of detail, which does not allow for a comprehensive assessment of the article.
8	Care recipients belong to end-of-life population	The target population is the general Singapore population that is suffering from chronic diseases that require prolonged management in the community as compared to end-of-life populations that need a different set of care management requirements.
