responsible for assessing potential patients, presenting findings
at the Interdisciplinary staff meeting, and recommending a plan of
care based on the patients' needs.
The case manager must be self-motivated, organized, flexible,
responsible, and empathetic. The HBPC nurse must possess excellent
critical thinking skills and excellent nursing assessment skills.
Recent geriatric medicine and recent home health experience are
preferred. Experience in case management is preferred. The ability
to work well with different people and personalities is essential.
