The care management process involves effective communication and resource coordination across the continuum of care. This role aims to achieve optimal health, access to care, and appropriate resource utilization while respecting patients' self-determination. Collaboration occurs with patients, families, physicians, interdisciplinary teams, nursing management, quality departments, and community resources. In the emergency department, the process addresses complex clinical and social situations efficiently to avoid unnecessary admissions. Initial and continued patient assessments are conducted, reviewing physician admission care plans and gathering medical, psychosocial, and financial information.

Documentation in electronic health records is consistently maintained. Knowledge of CMS and Joint Commission requirements for transitions of care is essential. Following up with observation patients and collaborating with physicians for transitions is also critical. Care coordination includes formulating transition plans after reviewing care options and obtaining input from patients and families. Every transition plan is created with an understanding of previous hospital records and the goal of effective transition. Barriers to care progression are proactively identified, and teamwork is used to resolve them in a timely manner. Plans of care are reviewed and modified as necessary to assure timely transitions to lower levels of care. Follow-up appointment needs are assessed and communicated as required. Documentation for post-acute transfers must comply with state and federal regulations. Community resources are utilized to aid high utilizers effectively.
