RN, Care Management

RN case managers assess patients on admission for available family support, insurance resources, and potential discharge planning needs. They engage in daily multidisciplinary rounds Monday through Friday to develop and implement patient discharge plans with input from various other disciplines. The RN case manager is responsible for coordinating post-acute and discharge needs in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Using established criteria to determine appropriateness of continued hospital stay, RN case managers work with payors on obtaining needed authorizations for ongoing hospitalization and/or identified post-acute needs.
