The Care Management department provides several major services to assure safe and efficient
through-put of patients during their acute hospitalization and transition to the next level of
care. Our goal is to balance individual clinical and psychosocial patient/family needs with the
efficient and cost-effective utilization of resources while promoting quality outcomes.


RN care managers assess patients on admission for available family support, insurance
resources, and potential discharge planning needs. They engage in daily multidisciplinary
rounds Monday through Friday to develop and implement patient discharge plans with input
from various other disciplines. The RN case manager is responsible for coordinating post-acute
and discharge needs in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Using established criteria to
determine appropriateness of continued hospital stay, RN case managers work with payors on
obtaining needed authorizations for ongoing hospitalization and/or identified post-acute needs.

Function/Duties of Position

The RN Case Manager collaborates with the patient and family, members of the multidisciplinary team, community resources and agencies, and payers to ensure the patient’s progress and level of care is appropriately determined. Intensity of service is dependent on individual patient needs as assessed by the case manager. RN case managers practice robust utilization and resource management.


RN case managers also frequently lead multidisciplinary and family care conferences involving
complex care situations. They contribute to meeting OHSU’s strategic plan of safe length of stay
reduction and reduction in readmission rates.
