Module 03 written assignment – 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
- Date revised
