Case Management
Long Term Acute Care is often one step in a long road to recovery. The case manager’s goal is to work with the patient, patient’s family, hospital and physicians to get the patient on the right course of management at the LTACH, with the plan to move the patient to the next level of care or rehabilitation program after the LTACH. Case managers are a source of information about programs for the patient and family while in the LTACH and following discharge. They assist the families in understanding the "big picture" regarding their loved one and help with communication among the disciplines and patients.
