This will involve daily review of hospital care by chart review and discussion with attending physician, admission and concurrent review for inpatient admissions, meetings with patient and families to develop discharge planning, identification of patients for ambulatory case management, communication with case managers, home care reviewers, social workers, members and providers, quality improvement reviews, and education of the member/family, provider and hospital staff.

  • Perform psychosocial assessments on all patients that meet high-risk indicators for discharge planning. Comprehensively assess patients' goals, biophysical, psychosocial, environmental, economic/financial, and discharge planning needs. Provide patients with education to assist with their discharge and help them cope with psychological problems related to acute and chronic illness.
  • Refer patients to ambulatory case managers, care managers, and/or social workers as appropriate. Document all admissions and discharges in the patients' Kaiser Permanente electronic medical record. Make post-discharge follow-up calls to all patients who are not referred to an ambulatory case/care management program.
  • Attend scheduled rounds with the Physician Director of Resource Stewardship to discuss clinical course and discharge planning for assigned patients, identifying any real or potential delays in care or quality of care issues.
  • Act as a liaison between inpatient facility and referral facilities/agencies, providing case management to patients referred, serving as an advocate for patients and families. Coordinate transfer of patients to appropriate facilities; maintain and provide required documentation. Build highly effective working relationships with physicians, SNF staff, vendors, and other departments within the health plan.
