JOB SUMMARY

Care Management is a service model whereby all of an individual’s caregivers communicate and interface so that the member’s needs are addressed in a comprehensive manner.

The Care Manager is ultimately responsible for the overall provision and coordination of services to assigned caseload. The Care Manager guides program enrollees and their caretakers (legal guardians) through the health care system by assisting with access issues, developing relationships with service providers, and tracking interventions and outcomes.

Effectively communicates and shares information with the individual and their families and other caregivers with appropriate consideration for language, literacy and cultural preferences.
Conducts care planning meetings/conferences and serves as an interdisciplinary team member to effectively provide/coordinate comprehensive and holistic care.
Identifies available community-based resources and actively manages appropriate referrals, access, engagement, follow-up and coordination of services.
In the event of hospital admissions, actively engages in the discharge planning process ensuring that the patient has all recommended post discharge services in place prior to discharge.
