Im new to CM.My new job description include:"Performs prospective, concurrent, and retrospective reviews for inpatient acute care, rehabilitation, referrals, and select outpatient. Responsible for educating and motivating employees to participate in wellness programs. Support health promotion and disease prevention and care management services. Ensures that case management program objectives are met by evaluating the effectiveness of alternative care services and that cost effective, quality care is maintained. Manages own caseload and coordinates all assigned cases..."

.It sounds like a mix of UM and CM,and I am.excited.What is a typical day like for those of you with a similar job description?What was the hardest part?How did you make sure you were knowledgeable about the diseases of your clients,especially if it was an area you did not have much clinical exposure to at bedside?

This was my dream job and company,and I am so nervous,because ive only worked at SNF,nothing exciting at all,just med passes and a wide range of elderly sick residents.I hope I can do this,please share any advice,warnings,etc.Thanks.

That's quite a job description. Sounds more like 3 jobs in one.

It should fall into place during your training, how long is your orientation? Find out what screening tool is used and research managed care concepts for now.

I work in my jammies, you probably should wear business casual with a suit jacket

Good luck! Sounds like a great opportunity.
