This role works closely with physicians, social workers, other specialty teams (like palliative care, oncology, etc.) to ensure coordinated and value-concordant care. In addition, CM RN will work closely with colleagues in local hospitals, SNFs, and hospices. RN CM will participate in multi-disciplinary team meetings to coordinate an iterative plan of care for our most complex, high-risk patients, as well as those dealing with natural decline.
