Under the supervision of the Transition of Care Clinical Program Manager, The Transition of Care (TOC) Nurse is responsible for managing a member's successful transition from an acute or post-acute level of care to home and is accountable for developing, implementing, and evaluating comprehensive transitional care interventions for high risk medical and / or surgical members for Prominence Health. He / she is responsible for facilitating the post-acute care of members that are at risk for poor health outcomes, frequent emergency room visits, and hospital readmissions.

The TOC nurse identifies hospitalized high-risk, complex members for program enrollment and communicates with all entities involved in the care of the member to promote and maximize care coordination. Key aspects of the TOC Program protocols are based upon inpatient and post-discharge workflows. Inpatient / SNF workflow includes visiting members at the bedside, member and family education regarding disease states and self-care, identification of member-level concerns regarding discharge, and anticipation of potential gaps in care. The inpatient / SNF encounters are designed to educate members / caregivers surrounding their post discharge health care needs and to empower them to play an active and informed role in managing their care post-discharge.

Upon member hospital / SNF discharge, the post-discharge workflow includes a scheduled periodic telephonic follow-up for 30 days and an in person visit, when appropriate. This includes a focus on medication reconciliation and adherence, management of member's quality of life and functionality, management of both acute and chronic disease states, identification and rectifying gaps in care, support of member's ability to perform self-cares, coordination of post-discharge appointments and services (durable medical equipment, home health), and coordination of care across the care continuum.

The TOC Nurse will adhere to the CMSA Standards of Practice for Case Management. The TOC Nurse refers and contributes to the development of the plan of care of members in Care Management. Additionally, the position participates in efforts associated with the successful operation of the SNP CM program and that the model of care (MOC) meets or exceeds regulatory and accreditation requirements for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), state Medicaid offices (as relevant), and NCQA.
