The Care Manager at will work with primary care practices as a part of the Primary Care Program. The care manager collaborates with the care team within each practice and leverages Aledade’s interdisciplinary care team to provide telephone-based health coaching, quality improvement, and care coordination. The care manager works closely with Medicare patients to support them in becoming active in their health care by better understanding their chronic conditions, helping them access care in the most appropriate setting, and improving quality of care. Care Managers utilize Aledade’s proprietary population health tool, the “Aledade App” to manage high-risk patients, using real-time data to identify and intervene on high utilizers who could benefit from more preventative and active management.
- Longitudinal Care Management (LCM): Conduct comprehensive assessments covering medical, behavioral, pharmaceutical, and social needs (SDOH) to identify gaps in care and health barriers. Develop, maintain, and risk-stratify (High, Medium, Low) patient-centered care plans for an active longitudinal caseload equal to at least 5% of MDPCP attribution. Deliver individualized education and self-management support using Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques to address ambivalence, increase self-efficacy, and actively engage patients in managing chronic conditions. Advocate for patients across the care continuum by building effective relationships with caregivers, practice clinicians, and community partners.
- Episodic Care Management (ED & TCM): Execute structured Episodic and Transitional Care Management (TCM) outreach following inpatient discharges and ED encounters within required timeframes. Complete required post-discharge medication reconciliations and facilitate scheduling of face-to-face follow-up visits. Provide structured post-discharge follow-up support to reduce unnecessary readmissions and emergency department utilization.
- Provider Office & Care Team Collaboration: Partner directly with primary care physicians and practice care teams to identify high-risk patients and co-design appropriate clinical care plans. Lead and participate in periodic complex care rounds and interdisciplinary case reviews. Leverage health information exchanges (CRISP ENS alerts) and population health management tools (Aledade App) to monitor high-utilizers and maintain closed-loop documentation within practice EHRs.
- Support Staff Oversight & Quality Administration: Provide clinical oversight to non-licensed support staff (e.g., health coaches, patient navigators, community health specialists) and delegate supportive care coordination tasks appropriately. Support implementation of population health initiatives (e.g., virtual behavioral health, advance care planning, end-of-life care resources). Monitor, measure, and drive performance across clinical, financial, and functional quality metrics in alignment with Maryland Primary Care Program (MDPCP) standards.
