As case managers, both RN case managers and social workers, strive to ensure that patients can move seamlessly through their acute care episode, many barriers can come in the way. Care givers can slow down the process of a patient moving toward discharge, and patients can have complications that also slow down the process, as can families. Unfortunately there are others who can create barriers, including hospital departments, such as surgery or radiology, payers who will often delay approving a discharge destination and even members of the case management department can participate in barriers. This webinar will review the responsibilities of the RN case manager and social work case manager in coordinating care. Best practice strategies will be discussed with tips for implementing those strategies.

Communication among caregivers is key to ensuring effective care coordination. This can only be done through intentional communication, a process that will be discussed. Outcomes of effective care coordination will also be identified. Whether you are a brand new or a seasoned hospital case manager, you will benefit from this webinar.
