Overview:

PURPOSE STATEMENT:

The Outpatient Navigator supports continuity of care by guiding eligible patients transitioning from inpatient or residential behavioral health treatment into Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP), or other community-based services. This role ensures timely, informed referrals; facilitates coordination among inpatient and outpatient departments; and provides education and support to patients and families regarding post-discharge services. With a deep understanding of levels of care, discharge workflows, and what differentiates Acadia’s outpatient programs, the Outpatient Navigator plays a vital role in increasing step-down engagement, reducing readmissions, and strengthening care transitions. The Outpatient Navigator may also help facilitate direct admissions to PHP/IOP programs.

Outpatient Services to ensure capacity, program compatibility, and mutual awareness of discharge dates
Participate in daily flash meetings to review emerging stepdown candidates, rationale for discharges not stepped down, and report out on day one PHP/IOP attendance for prior day’s step-downs

Performance Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

Track step-down admissions and conversion rate and trends over time
Identify barriers/opportunities to further enhance patient engagement and reduce readmissions
Report weekly progress to facility CEO, COO, and Director of Outpatient Services
