About the Role
Support patients and families through important transitions by ensuring care remains connected from hospital admission through discharge and follow-up. As a Hospital In-Patient Specialist, you'll track geriatric patients throughout acute hospital and post-acute rehabilitation stays, maintain an accurate understanding of each patient's disposition, and communicate important updates to families, facilities, providers, and internal care teams. Your coordination will help ensure critical information follows the patient and that appropriate services are prepared as they transition to the next stage of care.
This role is ideal for an organized, proactive healthcare professional who enjoys problem-solving, communicating with multiple stakeholders, and helping patients navigate complex care transitions.
You'll monitor inpatient stays, review and maintain medical records, coordinate discharge information with scheduling teams for timely transitional care management (TCM) visits, connect patients and caregivers with available resources, and help resolve patient or family concerns.
Through strong follow-through and communication, you'll help create smoother transitions, reduce gaps in care, and ensure patients remain connected to the support they need after hospitalization.
