It is everyone's responsibility to demonstrate high ethical standards and a commitment to compliance with all laws applicable to licensed and certified health care communities.
The Transitional Care Clinical Manager must be able to perform each essential function effectively to be successful in this position.
* Care Continuum Oversight: Manage residents transitioning through the post-acute continuum of care, ensuring safe, timely, and coordinated transitions between the skilled nursing facility (SNF), home health, and hospice settings.
* Technology Utilization: Monitor and track resident progress using software platforms such as Olio and Watershed for timely communication and documentation.
* Collaboration with Home Health & Hospice: Communicate directly with home health and hospice agencies regarding resident condition updates, needs, and care coordination. Attend and coordinate regular in person meetings with companies and providers for data and outcome review for quality improvement initiatives.
* Collaboration with Individual Community Staff: Ability to build relationships and strong collaboration with community staff to ensure safe transitions of care.
* Transitional Care Management (TCM): Conduct post-discharge follow-up calls to residents in the home setting to review medications, identify needs, and connect patients with providers and community-based wrap-around services.
* Medication Reconciliation: Complete thorough medication reconciliations with residents after discharge to ensure accuracy, safety, and compliance, while identifying potential gaps in care.
* Readmission Prevention: Identify barriers or risks for readmission early and collaborate with providers, families, and teams to create proactive care plans.
* Re-admission Coordination: Partner with facility staff and liaison teams when residents require return to the SNF setting, ensuring proactive planning and smooth transitions.
* Remote Relationship Building: Build and maintain strong connections with residents, families, and providers through phone and virtual communication, fostering trust and engagement beyond in-person interactions.
* Team Collaboration: Participate in occasional in-person meetings, training, or facility visits as needed to support alignment and resident care.
* Compliance & Documentation: Ensure all communications and transitions of care are documented accurately and in compliance with regulatory and organizational standards.
* Soft Skills: Ability to influence without direct authority (since much of the role requires collaboration with external providers and internal staff).
