The Case Management staff are located in the Nursing Administration office suite.  The department includes a Registered Nurse, who evaluates all patients on admission for needs at discharge. Discharge planning involves long-term placement, home health needs, or equipment needs after hospitalization. The department is also staffed by an Admission Review Coordinator, responsible for insurance coordination. The Admission Review Coordinator reviews all charts for admission and continued stay criteria and communicates this information to various insurance carriers and payers.
