This is an inpatient-based Case Management/Care Manager training program which includes both virtual classroom and precepted hours. The program is 8 weeks in length. Successful candidates will transition into full time Inpatient Care Manager positions across the Scripps system.

Role Description: Case Management is a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation and advocacy for options and services to meet a patient's and family's comprehensive health needs through communication and available resources.

Using objective data, evidence-based screening tools and care team referrals, the Care Manager screens all patients in their assigned caseload to identify those patients who:

• may have discharge needs
• may be at risk for an unplanned readmission within 30 days of acute care discharge
• have a high risk of mortality
• are medically complex and may have a prolonged LOS
• have payer issues

The Care Manager will coordinate with the health care team and the patient/family to address payer issues that impact care, develop a transition plan of care that includes a safe discharge plan, and plan for follow-up with care providers post discharge. The Care Manager ensures that the patient and family agree with and understands this transition plan, and that the plan is implemented appropriately.
