Description

We are seeking a capable RN Care Manager/Registered Nurse who has acquired broad experience in caring for patients, and has developed a sound understanding about the care of a particular patient population.

• The RN Care Manager (RN CM) is responsible for patient care coordination from admission through discharge; ensuring smooth transitions of care as the patient is discharged from the hospital setting, ensuring and facilitating high quality clinical and cost outcomes, procuring and securing post-acute services, coordinating and advocating for patients and families with both internal and external stakeholders, and identifying and addressing potential barriers to care coordination/discharge planning in an effort to foster efficient care delivery and maximize reimbursement.
• The RN CM will begin the process of care coordination at the time of the patients admission by completing a thorough admission assessment and/or psychosocial assessment which will allow for a timely and accurate capture of information as well as foster the ability to begin working towards a discharge plan.
• The RN CM will work with the hospital care team and the patient/family in order to plan and implement the best possible plan for the patient while taking various factors, limitations, and patient/family preference into consideration.
• The RN CM will identify and recommend post-acute services and will complete referrals to appropriate post-acute care providers in a timely manner, coordinating directly with the patient/family as well as the care team.
• Through continuous assessment and review, the RN CM will apply critical thinking to ensure alignment and appropriateness of post acute services as the patient clinically progresses throughout their stay.
• Ultimately, the RN CM is responsible for ensuring the discharge plan is aligned to be executed with the patients medically cleared for discharge date as well as the projected length of stay as provided by the payor.
• It is the role of the RN CM to educate patients/families as well as the care team as it relates to post acute services, transitions of care, readmission mitigation, appropriate post-acute level of care choices and available resources.
