Registered Nurse Care Managers (RNs) are pivotal in coordinating care and services for patients identified as needing assistance or meeting Care Management criteria. An intricate component of this role is collaborating with all members of the multidisciplinary team in the health center. Information is gathered via in-depth assessment that provides the healthcare team with the patient's current level of function and access to community resources and available support systems. The Registered Nurse Care Manager uses this information to assist the care team in developing a plan of care, which includes but is not limited to self-management activities, assuring appropriateness of services, assuring individualized support and education, determining the need for continued services, planning for care transitions, and identifying and connecting patients/families with available community resources if needed. The Registered Nurse Care Manager will support the multidisciplinary care team as is necessary for patient management. Abilities that are valued in this role are motivational interviewing and strong communication skills in a team setting. Several tasks differentiate the RN Care Manager from the Care Manager Social Worker; these include but are not limited to hands-on patient care. RNs have scheduled appointments with specific populations for assessment and teaching.
