About The Position

The Registered Nurse Case Manager (RNCM) assumes ultimate accountability and leadership for the assessment of the patient condition and plan of care. The RNCM provides case management, clinical care and is responsible for coordination all disciplines involved in providing quality, cost-effective and billable care through direct care and supervision of care under the direction of the physician. The RN educates patients and their family members and ensures the safety of the patient. The RN is accountable for completing accurate documentation and remains compliant with all legal rules and regulations. The RN is responsible for all practices and duties within the scope of practice as outlined by the state. Post-acute care is at the center of improving health outcomes. We care for patients where they spend the majority of their time – in their homes. This privileged position allows us to see things that are invisible to a patient’s primary care or hospital physician, and to deliver the best possible care tailored to each patient’s setting. As the healthcare industry continues to evolve away from hospital-centric care, our work, caring for patients in their homes becomes more important than ever. Our success helping patients recover comes from engaging with them. We start at the facility bedside and coordinate each patient's transition back to their home, ensuring a smooth transition and that their care plan is right for them. We support complex, high-acuity, medically-at-risk aging patients. This is the most challenging group of individuals to serve, and we find it the most rewarding. And we do this all in partnership with health systems. Together we create a seamless care environment that enables patients to receive excellent care in the setting that best meets their needs.
