Are you a seasoned hospital Case Manager who thrives in complexity, loves solving the unsolvable, and is energized by the challenge of turning the most difficult discharge scenarios into successful outcomes? If so, this is the role you've been waiting for! Join our high-performing acute care team where your expertise, creativity, and critical thinking will take center stage as you manage a focused caseload of 20–25 of the most medically and socially complex patients in the hospital. You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy in a fast-paced environment, working Monday through Friday — no weekends, no holidays — while reporting directly to the Director and collaborating alongside physician leaders and the ACMO. This isn't a role for someone still learning the basics; it's designed for a confident, experienced professional who knows how to navigate multi-layered barriers, influence key stakeholders from bedside to C-suite, and drive discharge plans forward when the path forward isn't clear. As an informal leader, you'll serve as a trusted resource and go-to expert for your peers, making a meaningful impact not just on patients, but on the culture and outcomes of the entire department. If you're ready to bring your best thinking, your boldest ideas, and your passion for complex problem-solving to a role where it truly matters — this Complex Case Management Care Coordination opportunity was built for you.
