The Case Manager
Peter R Kongstvedt states, “The case manager is consistently challenged with managing fiscal constraints with patient expectations in light of orders and expectations articulated by the care team. This requires a highly skilled individual, certainly not a job for the faint of heart.” The case manager can also play a role in identifying disease prevention strategies.
In 2 pages, develop a “job description” or job outline for a case manager. Consider disease prevention as part of the responsibilities of the role. Also consider education and skills. Feel free to set up your information in a table. Give your work a professional look, and be sure to include each of the following headings or sections:
Facility name
Department
Position title
Classification
Position grade or level
Shift and/or days of the week
Reporting relationships
Summary statement
Responsibilities
Required competencies or position requirements
Physical requirements or working conditions
Date written
